We went on with shopping trip until all of them were holding at least two bags of clothes.

All of them tried making conversations with me, but they didn't get really lucky with me as their sister. I'm a defect piece that they got.

"Aurelia, are you hungry?" Fernando asked.

"Of course she is hunger, she hasn't eaten anything yet." Cristián answered for me.

Now here we are in the food court area deciding what everyone is going to get.

"I'll just get whatever you guys are having."

"Are you sure?" Cristián said.

"Yes, but not too much. I'm not that hungry." I said quietly, not wanting all of them to hear.

"Okay, peanut."

All of them got up to get their food while I was just waiting at the table for them. The longer I was alone, the more I started sinking into my thoughts that were eating me alive with guilt.

Guilty of spending so much money on what? clothes I'm never going to wear, neither do I want to be here with them. All I ever wanted was some quiet and peace and now here am I waiting for my four big brothers that all love me so dearly, and I cannot bring myself to feel anything back.

The way that they all look at me expect of Ramón, is heartbreaking, like they never want me to leave again, but they don't know my plans now do they?

We ate our food in silence. Well they ate, I was just looking around the mall because the hunger hadn't kicked in yet.

I can go days without eating anything, as long as I have water I'll manage.

"Why aren't you eating?" Lorenzo asked with a mouth full of food.

"You don't like it?" Cristián asked before I could answer.

"No, I'm not that hungry. I'll tell them to pack it up, I'll eat it once we are at  home."

"Are you sure we can get you something you like?"

"Yes, I'm sure, thank you, Cristián."

When all of them finished eating, I stood up, all of their eyes landing on me.

"Would you guys like some Ice cream?" I asked quietly. 

"Yes." All of them said. 

"I'll go get it." I said walking away, but stopped almost immediately.

"Wait, take my card!" All of them said except Cristián and Ramón.

I was about to answer, but Cristián beat me to it. 

"Let Aurelia go, just tell her what flavor you guys like."

I looked at them and all of their jaws hit the floor, but they recovered fast and told me what they would like to eat. I hope 30 bucks is enough.
