Is the girl no one really noticed. She hides her face- with all the horrid bruises present- behind a facade, and makes sure no one suspects a single thing about the hell she's met with at her home with her 'parents...

I open my eyes and excitement fills me already. It's Christmas today!
I sprint downstairs excited, and notice all of my brothers being awake already. It's 8 am, how are they up so soon?
"Merry Christmas everyone!" I shout, feeling the happiest I've felt in a long time.
Everyone returns my words, and I'm practically beaming with happiness. I haven't even put on my clothes, and have just rushed downstairs in my fluffy, way too big hoodie and way too tiny pair of shorts my brothers only approved of because I'll only sleep in them.
Everyone is looking at me as if awaiting my reaction, and I understand why when I see the giant Christmas tree standing in the living room, decorated to the brim with red and gold Christmas baubles, and a bright gold star flickering on the top of the stem.
My eyes widen in awe, and I gasp surprised. They've put this here this night? I really hadn't expected them to decorate the house to brighten the Christmas spirit.
Under the Christmas tree is a ginormous pile of gifts covered in brightly colored wrapping paper.
My eyes fling through all the gifts, and I realize there are way more than just 6 gifts for each of us.
"What do you think?" Adrian asks, and I can see at the proud look on his face he arranged this all.
"It's so beautiful. Thank you!" I hobble over to him and give him a warm hug. His body engulfs mine, and I feel safe in his embrace.
All of a sudden, I hear a noise coming from next to us.
I get out of Adrian's grip, and see Lucas almost salivating while staring at the gifts.
"Can we please start opening the gifts?" He asks unable to contain his excitement.
Everyone looks at Eleandro and when he nods, we all storm towards the gifts.
Everyone wants to tear open their gift, but Javi tells us to open one at the time, so everyone can see what the others got.
The round begins, and I smile everytime I see what my brothers got and how happy they're with it.
Lucas got a Glock 42, which i hadn't expected he would get of all people, and a new trampoline which is already placed in the garden. Diego got a brand new punching bag, as he deformed his previous one, and he got a custom made license plate saying 'shut the fuck up' which is really suitable for him. Eleandro bought himself a new MacBook, and a new motorcycle, because he apparently loves to ride on it in his free time. Javi got a defibrillator, which is a tad bit weird, and a new stethoscope. Adrian got a Pac-Man machine, and new wraps for his hands. I know he loves boxing and he recently ripped his previous ones.
When it's my turn, I'm already beaming just because of seeing my brothers happy.
