Heartbreakers: The Cursed Child- Book 1

Chapter 23

"Wait there. We were just kidding around, no big deal." Sam was looking at me who was now slumped in the seat, sulking and being angry.

Damn! My stupid mood swings are kicking in right now! Bad timing!

"Yeah! But you wouldn't like it if someone random said it to you just after you saved them, would you?" I stared at him with annoyance, I couldn't hide it right now.

"No, I'd be fine with it. Why? Because it's just jokes. Don't take it out on yourself, kiddo." His eyes were soft and his voice, gentle.

"You alright?" Liam was asking, he didn't even bother hiding the concern in his voice. His eyes were stuck on my face as he tried to figure out what was wrong.

"Nothing. Probably just my mood swings, I guess." I slumped further in the seat but as soon as I'd said that, the guys all groaned at once, looking at the car ceiling or putting their heads in their hands.

"The girly thing?" Sam asked and I saw Red shudder. I chuckled before responding to their stupid assumptions.

"Nope." I said it so calmly, wanting to see their dumbfounded reactions. Their heads all swivelled around in my direction, except for Red who stared at me through the rear-view mirror.

"Then what?" Liam was obviously impatient at this moment as the others stared, waiting for me to bark already.

"Got AUDHD. Innit." As soon as I mentioned that one word, Sam erupted, hooting as he fist bumped the air.

"SAME! AAH!" He screamed in a weird voice as he brought his fist to me, and I bumped it, still confused at what he meant, that was, until my own eyes widened in realisation and I yelped in happiness.

"AAH! TWINSIES!" I fist bumped him again and we both screamed in sync.

"Ugh, we were blessed with one and now we're cursed with another, this one a girl." Red sighed before shaking his head in disapproval then receiving a hard slap on the head from Sam.

"Welcome to the family, sis." Red made his short announcement before the car came to a sudden halt, thrusting me forwards with such force, my face slammed into the headrest of the driver's seat. I heard a giggle from Sam before I laughed myself.

Before I could even open the door, Sam did it for me, grabbing my arm and linking it with his before skipping and half dragging me along with him. He pulled off his ski mask and revealed his baby like face and shaking his head. Light blue eyes and blonde hair with almost invisible eyebrows. He had small and slightly plum lips and a round face. His smile made him look even more of a baby and his hair was absolutely natural, silky and thin, floating in the wind.

He pulled the scarf down till it reached under my chin and examined my face, noticing the bruise that had just gotten worse.

"How bad was that slap?" He was frowning as he looked from the bruise and back to my eyes.
"No. Actually, that was there before I first arrived in London. The slap just made it worse, I guess." He gave a small smile before shouting at the others to hurry up before he started skipping again, making me stumble after him.

It looked hilarious, a huge and muscular, extremely tall guy skipping with a short, dark girl, struggling to keep up.

As soon as we'd gotten inside, I was introduced to their whole family, consisting of around thirty- something people, all brothers.
"So, you guys actually related?" I was gobsmacked, how could someone have so many brothers and not a single sister?

"No." They all began to laugh at me.

What's so funny? I just said the exact thing he told me and now they're laughing?!

"Nuh-uh. We take an oath after our loyalty's been proven. Then that makes us part of the family."
That makes more sense.

Now it was around two in the afternoon and the place was beginning to heat up. I was finally happy when I saw Liam make his way towards me, he probably wanted to find out a little about me. Sam had been staring at me for some reason, looking deep into my eyes and it felt like he was staring right through my soul. It gave a weird feeling in my stomach, the weird feeling I got when I was around Liam.

Maybe it's just that I'm nervous around them. They both make me feel like they're reading my mind. Plus, they're both strange. All I know is that I'm not in love with them. Or maybe it's a crush? Aaaagh! I don't know!

He'd taken off his mask and I had to admit, he looked pretty decent, much better than Will. In fact, he looked more than decent, he looked gorgeous, stunning, sexy. I don't know how to describe his beauty.

"You alright now?" He beamed at me, showing me the row of perfect white teeth that he had hidden before.

"Yeah." I didn't know what else to say, it was weird.
"Well, should we go to a different room and talk about whatever shits going on now?" He was clearly struggling to find the right words so I just made it easier by agreeing with the plans without a word, nodding my head then gesturing for him to lead the way.

I wasn't planning on lying, he felt like a brother to me and I wanted to tell him the whole truth. I didn't exactly know what having a brother felt like but I got the idea, they'd explained to me about the trust and everything.

He'd also said that I was already part of the family, a little sister to them all.
