The Lost One (Cimorelli)

Chapter 2

Adrian's POV
I hear my door open so I pretend like I'm asleep with my face buried in the pillow. I know it's one of my older sisters because I can hear Dani and Lauren outside. I try to steady my breathing but fail miserably.
"Addy?"
It's Christina. Great. She probably came to yell at me.
"I know you're awake" she says. I flip over and stare at her and her far softens one she sees my tear stained face. She climbs up to the top bunk and pulls me on her lap.
"What's wrong baby?"
I take a deep breath before answering "I messed up a lot today and made you disappointed.." She lifts my chin and looks in my eyes as she begins this big heart to heart.
"Baby girl I could never be disappointed in you. I love you so much and you're only 8. Everybody messes up and it's your first cover. Dani was the same way. I will never be mad at you for messing up."
"Promise?"
"I promise" then she kisses my head and walks back downstairs. I lay down and drift off into a dreamless sleep.

~~next morning~~
"BREAKFAST!" I hear kath yell. And then a chorus of footsteps. I stretch and then walk downstairs to be greeted by my 6 sisters chowing down eggs and bacon. It's just us 7 because our brothers are traveling the world and our parents died last year. I don't like to talk about it.. I am surprised we haven't gotten the house taken away. I think we haven't gotten it taken away because of my parents work and their life insurance and stuff like that. Chrissy says I'm too young to understand. I snap out of my thoughts to be greeted by all my sisters staring at me with wide eyes.
"Are you ok Ad? We have been calling your name for like 5 minutes." Amy says
"Oh yeah just daydreaming.." I don't want to tell them what I was really thinking about. They don't like it. I take my seat at the dinner table and scarf my plate down. I slept through dinner last night.
