Free Falling

Chapter One~ New Home, Fresh Start

I woke up to the light coming through my window, I hadn't really had the chance to take in my surroundings last night so I took the opportunity to do so now. My bed was king sized with soft white sheets and a red silk blanket. The room itself had a HUGE walk in closet that I'd never be able to fill, four large windows covered the cranberry red walls, and in the corner was a writing desk. I was torn away from my thoughts when someone knocked on my door.

"My Lady it is time for breakfast" Maria, the maid assigned to tend to my needs said.

"I'm coming and I told you call me Quinn" I quickly pull on a pair of dark jeans and a tight fitting long sleeved red shirt. Maria walks with me down the hall to the kitchen. I nod my head to thank her and she leaves. I hear an argument going on in the kitchen and out of complete curiosity I go see what's going on.

"You cannot feed a new arrival simple food like scrambled eggs" I handsome man says, he had golden brown hair and looked older than the other boy.

"She's eighteen and lived in Tennessee she probably doesn't care." The other boy shot back. He was absolutely gorgeous with brown hair and blue eyes.

"How did you know I'm from Tennessee? I never told anyone." I ask.

"Yeah Eliot how did you know she was from Tennessee?" The other laughs.

"Shut up Jacob. I uh kinda looked you up before you moved in. I only wanted to know who we'd be dealing with" Eliot told me.

"Well I'm Quinn Moore and I like scrambled eggs, if you address me as 'my lady' or anything formal like that I will punch you. An um I hope we can be friends" I give a small smile.

"I'm Eliot Knight and this is my stubborn older brother Jacob. And I'd really like it if we became friends." He winks and it makes me blush slightly. I eat breakfast and am given a tour of the house. I soon find myself in the back garden sitting on a bench with my guitar.

"I'll never get over you walking out of my life because now I can't even tell if it was wrong or it was right" I sing quietly to myself not paying attention to my surroundings.

"I didn't know you play" I here Jacobs voice right infront of me, I was too lost in thought to see him approach.

"Jesus Jake, don't do that!" I rush out shocked.

"Sorry Quinn" he says chuckling before sitting next to me. "I have something to tell you...."

"Yes..?"

"We just met but I think I really like you, and I know Eliot does also. I just... Is there any chance you like either of us?"

"I think you are both attractive and everything" I mumble, out of questions I asked Maria earlier I found out Jacob was 25 and Eliot was turning 20 next Saturday.

"I take that as a yes" he smirks and slides himself closer. When he brushes a stand of hair behind my ear is when I snap out of the daze.

"I'm sorry..." I say pulling away from him and standing up before running towards the house, forgetting about my guitar.

Was my past going to haunt me forever? So much for a new life.
