My family Code

Chapter 8|Impression.

Okay so before I start this chapter I'd like to add a very special a/n for two people!:

First off to @Claire-fr thank you for adding this book to your reading list! and if you're reading this book go check her books out!! I highly Recommend Exquisite.

And one more to @-Mr_Hyde Thank you, for voting literally every chapter. And the fact you read them too THANK YOU! (ily for that)

Lilith's POV:

Right now I stand in front of the long, body mirror which is just outside of my walk in closet. I stare at my reflection, those bright hazel eyes that seem to shift from brown to green, My straight brown hair that ends mid back.

Red walks out of my closet holding a pair of closed tip velvet black heels. Smiling at me she hands them over without a word I sit down and pull them on my feet doing up the buckles. Standing back up I take another look at myself in the mirror but now looking at my clothes not my self. I have a tight black knee length button up sweater dress, with a flat collar and small v neck. Not too revealing but nice looking and modest enough. Now I'm wearing my heels.

I run everything I know about my brothers through my head.

Drystan, is the oldest and my legal guardian I have no idea what his exact age is. Dante is seemingly his best friend as well as head of the security team.

Theo, is the second oldest or the middle brother, I don't know much about him at all except I overheard Becca complaining over the phone about him. Her exact words were 'If Theo breaks one more coffee machine I'm going to lose it.' So maybe he has some weird hobby with breaking coffee machines. Or he can just be really dumb.

And Silas, the youngest brother I know his age, he just turned 18. That's all I know about him, it's a sad list I know. But knowing he's the youngest means they all must be 18 or over. So I'm the only non legal adult.

"Let's do something with your hair." Red's voice startles me from my thoughts nodding once she leads me to the bathroom. Pulling out a straightener she helps me do my hair which now falls directly down my back like a curtain.

"Oooo! So pretty!! They're here! Dante will take you downstairs or you can go down yourself." Nodding to herself once she presses a button on an earpiece I didn't even see. I raise my eyebrows at her only because I can't raise one no matter how hard I try.

"Becca and I got one each to talk to each other Dante stole it from security, for us that's how I know they're back. Becca says everyone is rushing around and chattering." I smile at Red really glad she's here before I can even say anything she fixes wishes me good luck and rushes out of my room.

Before I know it my body drags me down the stairs shaking slightly. That's when I realise it I'm nervous. The same feeling I got every time one of my parents called me down. Heading towards the kitchen to grab a plate and say hi to Becca.

I stop in the doorway of the dining room. Three boys sitting around the table laughing, it's obvious brothers you can just tell they belong to this house. It only takes me a minute to figure out who's who.

Drystan has to be the one at the head of the table he looks older than the other two, the one on left of Drystan must be Silas because he replies to a comment the third boy made while using the name Silas. Which leaves Theo. Once seeing them I quickly take in what they all look like the sound of their voice and how at ease they are.

Drystan is tall you can tell just by looking at him, his dark brown hair is kept nice and neat on his head what stands out is his hazel eyes the same ones as mine. He's well dressed and looks like hes strong. Must go to the gym?

Theo has black hair that's pretty messy and all over the place sticking up at different angles and looks fluffy giving him a softer appearance. Like Drystan he looks like he spends a little bit of time at the gym but his muscles are less prominent. And brown eyes.

And then there'S Silas, who looks similar to me, brown hair the same shade as mine, well dressed but has a large smile on his face showing a row of perfect teeth and his laugh sounded so carefree, Looking at him he seems to as be strong. Do they all have like a 24 hour gym day? His eyes are a shade of brown the same colour as Theo's.

Suddenly the laughter is cut off and it feels too quiet looking up I'm greeted by three pairs of eyes. Drystan goes to speak but he seems frozen in place they all do. Silas seems a little confused before his face falls in the same look of shock and almost worry then they all turn unreadable.

I go to open my mouth to apologise for watching them and introduce myself.

"Hi-" I'm cut off by the sound of a chair against the floor and see Theo now standing up with his untouched plate in his hand.

"I think I'm just going to eat upstairs in my room." Drystan ignores him his eyes trained on mine before I hear another chair, being pushed back I see Silas get up with his plate in his hand. While walking out Theo's side bumps into mine sending me forward to catch myself using the door frame. Without looking back they both leave.

Tallasses. I think to myself I've decided that's what I'm going to call them. Even though I've never met them before I feel my heart break slightly maybe this will really be just as bad as home. Maybe feeling hope that because they share my blood I'll be loved. But I won't. I see that. Wiping my face quickly I look back up.

"You going to leave me too Drystan?" I add the name 90% sure I guessed right. Hoping he can't see the hurt or pain behind my eyes from a simple action I shouldn't feel like this.

"No, I won't." He states this calmly. Like talking with a child.

"Very well." I sit down seeing a plate already there for me.

Dinner is quiet with a comment from each of us once in a while. When I pick up my plate to bring to Becca he looks at me funny. So I stare back not daring to break eye contact. Someone can come and clear our plates but it's like 25 steps the kitchen is the next room over.

Picking up my glass as well I turn out of the room and walk over to Becca, smiling at her I place my dish in the sink before spying dessert she notices this and laughs, finishing whatever is on the stove. She pours it over the chocolate cake.

I exit the kitchen going back to the table. Drystan's plate has since been cleared, soon enough the plate of cake is dropped in front of me. Chocolate with mango. Yum. mangoes are my favourite food ever. I was shocked to find out there was none in this house- I fixed that.

Drystan's cake seems to be with a red fruit. Strawberries? Raspberries? And then of course the fruit compote is red as well. He looks at my plate funny.

"Mangoes?" Like the first conversation he started with the word mangoes really?

"Yeah!" He scowls.

"Keep it away from me." Calm down it's fruit on cake- Really, it's not like I put a grenade in it. But I nod once.

"Do you really like mangoes?" -His voice trails off like he's trying to remember a word.- "Lilith." oh. So it was my name he was trying to remember. I feel like my heart breaks just a little, just my name was too hard to remember. Not worth his time.

I simply give a small nod even that feels forced. I just want to go to run back into my room and hide. I finish most of my plate before excusing myself and walking out of that room with as much dignity as I can muster.

Kay so another chapter done. And hehe ig also cover change! I'm happy w this one. I might fix it later because some of the words are cut out. But the top says 'My family Code'. Then -Zylia and at the very bottom it says 'not every family is perfect or simple but they are important.' This can show she has more family than just bio. Families are different shapes and sizes.

Word count: 1420
