Chapter 3

(Pic above is Zen/Aaliyah )

Brooke's PoV 

It was around 4am when we got to his house ( or should I say OUR house ). I was absolutely stunned with what I was greeted with. It was a modern mansion in the posh side of town with a gated entry and balconies for most rooms. He must be rich if he can afford this house. 

The moving vans had arrived before we had, as we all stopped at McDonalds to get coffee. So all that was left to do was to unpack, meet my new sister and get settled in. I got told by Jacob that she was going to arrive at 8 with her friend. so I have at at least 4 hours of me time before the introductions began.

"Do you like the house?"

"yeah, its absolutely beautiful."

"I'm glad you like, should I show you to your room? I'm sure Zen and Violet will give you a tour once they arrive."

I nodded as he locked the car and helped my mother and I with our luggage. We began walking to the front door and as he opened the door, I was completely in love with what I saw. The whole interior was basically marble and there was a massive chandelier hanging from the mile high ceiling. I could have sworn I was drooling because I am a sucker for interior designs. 

We walked up two flights of stairs before we reached a room which I assumed was mine. And I was right. He opened the door to reveal a spacious room with a balcony and an en suite bathroom. There was already boxes in my room which means the moving van was being unloaded. I set my stuff in the middle of the room before sighing.

"Thank you for this, I swear this room is bigger than our entire living room in our hou... I mean, our old house back in England."

My 'parents' both chuckled.

"Well as long as you're comfortable. Here is some money, use it to make it more roomy." he said as he handed me a very thick envelope. " If you don't mind, me and your mother are going to go and get some breakfast, you're welcome to come along if you'd like. or we could bring you back something?"

" Thanks for the offer but I'd rather stay and let my friends back in England know I'm alive. And maybe unpack and explore."

"If you're sure honey, we'll be back in an hour or two" My mum said. 

They both kissed my forehead before exiting and closing the door behind them. I slammed myself on the bed, pulled out my phone and began texting friends and relatives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was just getting light outside and I had just woken up. My phone went off and I realised that it was a text from my mother

Mum: Hey baby, there's food in the kitchen if you want it. Jacob and I are just gonna take a nap for a little. The girls are supposed to get here in about 30 minutes so keep busy till they arrive xxxxx

Me: okay, thanks for the food. i think i'm gonna take a shower and change before i meet them

Mum: good idea! but anyway, i'll see ya later. love you xxx

Me: love you too xxxxxxxx

 I locked my phone and approached the balcony. The moving vans were gone which means that all my stuff is here somewhere, and I needed in if I wanted to get ready. I got my phone and headphones and went in search for my belongings.

Retracing our steps from earlier, I had managed to navigate myself back tot the front door. As I had suspected, there was boxes absolutely everywhere. After I had located all the ones with my name on it, I began picking up two at a time and transporting them to my room. This was honestly waaaaaayyyyyy too much work.  had probably climbed those staircases at least 15 times, no joke!! I collapsed on my bed and checked the time. It was 9:14. What happened to being here at 8? oh well, i'll just have to entertain myself until they get here. I got up to quickly brush my teeth,

After what seemed to be 15 minutes of lazing about, I decided to go exploring, as I had said earlier. With my phone in my pocket and my headphones around my neck, I left my room and began my journey through the house. 

First stop was the kitchen to pick up the breakfast Mum and Jacob had left for me. I sat down on one of the many bar stools there and began eating my cold waffles and when I was satisfied, I continued my journey.

I passed countless rooms, including a games room, 3 living rooms, 2 dining rooms and just rooms in general. I walked for a good 1 hour, entering all the rooms and inspecting them. Except from one. It was marked " Aaliyah and Violet's room. DO NOT ENTER". Disregarding the sign, I did open the door, but only to peer around. The room was quite similar to mine but with two single beds instead of one kingsize. I closed the door and continued my adventure. To my surprise, there was only one more door left, but it was different from all the others. It was a dark, heavy oakwood door that seemed really old compared to the rest of the furniture in the house. I pushed it open and behind the door lay, hundreds, maybe even thousands of books. It was by far the biggest room in the whole house. I stood in the doorway in awe. Reading has always been one of my softspots and I could tell already that I would spending most of my time in here. 

I went through all of the rows of books before settling on a book to read. It was a very old book which I'm assuming is from the 18th or 19th century. I sat in the corner and selected a song on my phone. I glanced at the time once more ( 11:23) before locking my phone and getting engolfed in the book.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was startled when a face suddenly appeared in front of mine. I paused my music, putting my headphones and book on the floor. I stood up and introduced myself, then she explained why she was here, stood in front of me.

"I was on a mission, I was looking for you..." She rambled on and on. To be totally honest, she was hott. I could tell she was nervous and I found it cute. I answered her questions and left the room to go and get ready. 

The girl, who had introduced herself as violet, asked if I would accompany her and Aaliyah to starbucks and I agreed, wanting to go and get some fresh air and maybe look around a little bit. I was already getting used to the layout of the house so I knew the way to my room. 

Once I arrived, I rummaged through my endless suitcases and boxes before I found my towel and toiletries. I had a quick shower and then went looking for the right outfit for me,which turned out was a pair of black shorts, black cropped top and a white lace kimono also paired with my black doc martins. Then moving onto my hair which I decided to throw up in to a high ponytail. I decided to skip makeup and just put on some vaseline. by the time I was ready, I was late by 6 minutes, so I picked up my bag and $300 out of the money Jacob provided me with and skipped down the hallway.

They were standing there waiting for me when I arrived. They seemed to be in deep conversation. When they noticed me, they ended the conversations and walked towards me.

"Hey Brooke, nice to finally meet you."  Aaliyah said as we hugged "Unfortunately, I can't come with you guys because I have a tonne of homework to get done and it's all due on Monday. But Violet can still go so I leave you in her hands."

"It's cool, I'm sure we can go out together some other time. Have fun with your homework!" she gave me one last squeeze before leaving me with this stranger.

"Hey, so shall we leave?" she said while fidgeting with the hem of her shirt

"I guess we shall."

We both got in the the car parked out front and began the drive to the nearest starbucks.

"So how has your first couple hours been here? oh and by the way, I'm sorry we were late this morning" she piped up

"it's cool and it was good I suppose, I spent most of my time reading... and waiting for you guys to turn up" I casually replied

"Once again I'm sorry we were late." she said as she pulled into the driveway of our destination.

We ordered our food and drinks and sat at our table...
