Curtis at the side!!!!>>>>>>>>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Uhm Emily?" I ask, walking into the kitchen. Emily lifts her head and smiles.

"Yes sweetheart? What's wrong?" I shake my head.

"Nothing, I was just wondering if I could make a shirt?" She gives me an odd look, smiling at me.

"Yes of course. What is this shirt going to look like." She wipes her hand on a towel and leans against the counter as I sit on a bar stool.

"We'll it's gonna be a tank top." She nods her head as I describe my tank top design to her. By the time I finish, she has tears in her eyes.

"That's wonderful Phoenix! I will get right on it!" I give her a thankful smile, and run around the counter top and hug her.

"Thank you so much Emily." She shakes her head.

"Don't worry about it, so does this mean you're going to tell them soon?" I nod my head.

"I'm planning on tomorrow, maybe tonight." She smiles at me.

"That's great hun, whenever you're ready. So what's new?"

"We'll Dylan's my new best friend, and Jayden's my friend too." She smiles at me.

"You haven't met Sage yet?" I look at her confused.

"Sage?"

"Sage. He's 17 the sweetest! But him and Nico are almost identical in personality's." she rolls her eyes as I hear someone walk in.

I turn to look into the most beautiful hazel eyes ever! He was gorgeous and I was speechless. He smirked but was speechless as well.

"Uhm who is this?" The boy asked Emily.

"Sage this is Phoenix." My heart stopped at the sound of his name. He looked shocked to see me.

"Why is she here?" He asked rudely. Emily's smile faded.

"Don't be rude Sage. She'll tell you why she's here when she's ready! Did you--"

"YES!" He yelled, interrupting her. She frowned.

"Ok. I was just checking." She went back to cooking. Sage sighed and walked up and hugged his mom from behind.

"I'm sorry momma. People..." He didn't even need to finish before she knew what he was talking about. She kissed his cheek and pushed him towards me.

"Phoenix? You can go get cleaned up, dinners almost ready. Sage show her to her room please?" Sage nodded and walked away without waiting. I scoffed and ran after him.

"Care to wait?" I yell, running up the stairs. As soon as I get to the top I run right into Sage's chest, falling backwards, towards the stairs.

"Shit." He mumbles reaching out and catching me instantly. I involuntarily reach out and grab what's in front of me, which just so happened to be his biceps. I look up and find my self getting lost in his eyes, him doing the same. I finally come to and let go, standing up right.

"I'm sorry. Thank you for...catching me." I run past him, and go into the first room that I think is mine. I close my eyes and lean against the door breathing heavily. Then someone coughed.

"Uhm yeah hi. I'm kinda changing. I realize you're new and all but I just you should know that when people change, others usually stay out. I mean that's how we do in our house I don't know about yours?" My eyes pop open to see Kayden? I have no clue because they're like identical.

"Uh Kayden?" I ask cautiously. He rolls his eyes and continues to pull up his pants.

"Yeah. Do I need to get a name tag or something?" He walked closer to me, showing off his abs. I had to peal my eyes away from them, blushing.

"Maybe? I know almost everyone it's just the difference between you and Jayden. Help?" He smiled.

"The eyes or eyebrows. And I'm the cuter one." He winked. I smirked, crossing my arms across my chest.

"That's debatable." He rolled his eyes and laughed.

"So why are you in my room?" I sighed and laughed.

"I thought this was mine and I was running from Sage cause we had a weird romanticy moment so yeah, I just need to know where my room is!" He laughed and walked passed me out the door.

"You're room is three down." I nodded my head thanking him.

"If you need anything just ask." He started to walk away.

"How 'bout a map?" I mumbled. I heard Kayden laugh.

"I heard that!"

"Good!" I laughed, shutting the door.

"When's Curtis get here?" Emmett yelled from across the giant table.

I gave Dylan a weird look.

"Curtis?" I whispered. He leaned into my ear.

"Our older brother, he's a douche." I nodded my head.

"Oh." I went back to eating my Turkey dinner.

"This is great!" I marveled. Emily giggled.

"Thank Lucy and Layla they make the food most of the time!"

"Geez! There are so many names." I mumbled under my breath, causing Dylan and Jayden to chuckle. Everyone have us weird looks.

"What's so funny boys?" Emily asked. They both shook their heads.

"Nothin momma. Just something Phoenix told us." Jayden said. Emily nodded and looked around.

"Sage finish your food." She looked back at her food.

"I'm done."

"You barely touched anything!"

"I'm not hungry." He said slowly.

"Mom..." Nico whispered to his mom to tell her to drop it. I looked up and have Dylan a weird WTF is going on look, but he just looked away from me.

"It's not my place or story to tell." He whispered into my ear. I nod my head, aggravated.

"HOME!" I hear a male voice called.

"Yippee." All the boys muttered as a man walked in the kitchen with yet another boy in tow. He walked up to Emily and kissed her so I assumed he was Matt.

"Oh! Honey! This is Phoenix. Remember from when the boys were little?"

"What?" A couple of us said.

"Why yes! Nico, Sage, Dylan, and Curtis and Phoenix used to have play dates all the time when we lived closer to Phoenix and her dad and... Mom." Matt nodded his head.

"Yes yes! I remember now! My Phoenix! How you've grown! You look beautiful!" I blushed.

"Thank you." I said quietly.

"Phoenix. This is Curtis, our oldest son."

"Douche bag." Someone coughed.

"Shut the fu-"

"Curtis! Say hello!" Emily interrupted with a stern look.

"Hello Phoenix, what a peculiar name." I have him a dirty look.

"Thanks." I muttered.

"Told you." Dylan whispered.
