Alice, a 17 year old girl, is the youngest daughter in the Millers family; along side her twin brother Nolan. Growing up Aly's mom Fiona had a beautiful best friend named Laura. Laura and Fiona both had children close in age which brought both famil...
"It's Friday. This is the last day you have to wake up early come on." I open my eyes to see Miles. He's 18 so he goes to the same school as Nolan and I but he's graduating in 2 months.
I grunt sitting up. "Fine." Rolling out of my bed I see Bentley walk into my room.
I sit on the floor to hug him. "Okay okay do your morning hugs later you need to get ready." Miles takes Bentley from my arms and out of my room.
So rude.
I get up off the floor and go to the washroom. I brush my teeth, wash my face, do my hair, and apply a little more makeup than I did yesterday. Not too much though. Just some mascara and concealer.
I then walk to my closet and pick out an outfit. I decide on Jean shorts and a sweater.

The outfit ^^
Putting on some jewelry I hear Grayson walk by my door. "ALY MAKE YOUR BED."
I sigh putting the back of my earring in place and then walking over to my bed and making it. Sometimes I forget..
I put the last few pillows on my bed before putting my books into my backpack. I don't want to leave any import books home.
Once I forgot my math binder and it was a total disaster.
I grab my backpack and begin heading downstairs. Walking down the steps I smell a wonderful breakfast I assume Harper and Gabe made. They love cooking.
I put my back in-front of the door and head towards the kitchen. I walk in to see everyone including dad. This rarely happens. Harper usually stays back at her and Grayson's place, Gabe is always in his room doing online classes, and Owen is all over the place. Miles and Nolan are pretty much the only people I see in the morning.
On rare occasion I'll see somebody else. But never the whole family.
"You okay kid? Looks like you saw a ghost." Owen walks by me with a glass of water. He walks to the table where dad is sitting beside Gabe.
"Mhm fine." I look away before dad can see me looking at him. I walk over to Harper and Gabe where they're cooking pancakes.
Harper smiles at me "open up" she puts a blueberry into my mouth.
"I love your outfit today beautiful." I smile back at her. "Thank you."
"Hey look at me." I see Gabe walk over looking directly at my face. I furrow my eyes.
"What?" I ask. He lifts up my chin and examines my face. "Are you wearing makeup?"
"I always wear makeup." I laugh and shove his hand away from my face.
"Yea but not like that." He looks behind him once he sees dad walk up. My heart quickly racing.
"Go take it off." He says sternly. Standing there shocked and a little mad Grayson walks up to us.
"Dad it's not that big of a deal. She's 17 she can wear mascara." He doesn't move his eyes off me.
"I don't care what it is go take it off." He says again. I'm about to speak up when I feel Harper grab my arm softly.
"I'll help her." She smiles at my dad and takes me towards the stairs.
"I was going to deal with it." I let out a sigh and begin walking up the stairs Harper following close behind me.
"Aly I was just helping. We don't need yelling this early in the morning." I walking into my room and stop to face her.
"You think I want yelling? I hate it when he yells! He only ever has a bone to pick with me and I'm sick of it!" Harper pulls me into a hug and I sigh resting my head on her shoulder.
She whispers, "I know. I hate watching it happen. You don't deserve that." She keeps holding me until I pull back.
"You can go downstairs I'll take the makeup off." I sigh and walk into my washroom grabbing my makeup wipes.
When most of the makeup is off Harper comes in holding a mini makeup bag. She smiles handing it to me. "Put this in your locker. It has makeup in it. Whenever your dads here in the morning do your makeup at school." She kissing my forehead and begins to walk away.
"Harp." I call out before she leaves. She turns around.
"Yes Aly?"
I smile at her. "I love you. Thank you for this." She smiles back. "I love you too sweet-pea."
She walks out of my room and I sigh leaning against the wall. After about a minute I finish taking off the makeup and head back downstairs putting the small makeup bag into my backpack.
I walk into the kitchen and sit down at the dinner table where everyone is already eating and talking. I sit beside Nolan.
He hits his knee to mine making me look up at him. "We leave in 10 are you ready?" I give him a small smile.
"Yea." I look down at my plate and I can feel dads eyes on me from across the table. I don't want to look up but I do anyways.
When I do, he stares at me until I look away. It doesn't last long but it lasted enough to make me uncomfortable. Nobody really notices since they're preoccupied in a different conversation.

AHH I LOVE HARPER. I need a Harper in my life. She's the older sister Aly never had 😥✊ I feel like every girl needs a school makeup bag. It's an essential!
