This small love (EVERLARK FANFIC*)

Chapter 17

As we enter the highly decorated house I feel a sense of nausea upon me. What if these people don't like me. What if Mum is worrying. What if dad brings up Ava. What if-...

"Katniss put your things here" He tells me leading me to a hallway. I drop my luggage next to the hat stand were some woman wearing an apron takes it. I stare in awe at the place. The hallway had a chandelier in the middle. The red carpet stood out. To the left was a massive living room.

"Katniss follow me" He says leading me to the kitchen. There was a blonde woman who was standing, her back towards us, she was petite and had a lovely figure and was quite tall, who was cooking something on the stove.

"Carly honey, there's someone I want you to meet" My father says speaking to the woman.

The woman slowly turns around. I almost gasp. She was beautiful. Her blonde hair was wavy and her tanned skin suited her. Her eye brows were perfect and her lips were naturally shaded a dark pink. Her cheeks were blushed and her eyes, oh my god! Her eyes were stunning. They had a blue outer ring and inside was filled with a beautiful turquoise colour.

"Katniss meet my wife, your step mother, Carly" He explains. The woman smiles lovingly at me before turning the stove of and walking towards me.

"Hi sweetheart! You must be Katniss?! Oh I've heard so much about you in the past! I couldn't wait to meet you!" She exclaims hugging me. I smile awkwardly and pull away.

"It's lovely to meet you" I stutter not knowing what to say. This was the woman my father left my mother for. I wanted to puke. This could be happening. My stepmother. This is gonna end up like Cinderella.

"There's three more people to meet" my father beams. There's more.

"Maddison! Briley and Ryder come here now!" Dad calls. In less than two minutes a little boy came running towards us on his little feet.

"Hi bud" my dad laughs ruffling his hair lovingly.

"Katniss this is your little brother. Ryder he's five, he's your half brother" He says. I stare at the kid. He looked just like a mix of Carly and Dad. He had brown straight hair and he had big blue eyes. Perfect little jawline like my father and a perfect nose like Carly.

"Ryder meet your sister. The one I've been telling you about" Dad explains softly to the little boy.

"Hwi" the kid mumbles shyly waving his little fist at me. I smile lovingly.

Just before I could speak, a girl comes slouching down the stairs making awful sounds.

"DAD! I'M HUNGRY!" She yells stomping towards us.

"Briely! Manners! Now please, I want you to meet your step sister, Katniss, my daughter" The girl looks at me before smiling.

"She's payed us a visit. I'm sure you two will get along just fine"

"Katniss this is Briley, she's Carly's daughter, but of course I've adopted her and her older sister into my presence. She's twelve, about Prims age? Right?" He asks.

"Dad Primrose is fourteen" I inform him. His face falls. I know why. He's missed out on so much of our lives he doesn't even know how old we are. After four- five year. Not one single birthday card.
