Don't Look Back

Chapter 1

Adelaide's POV

My dad, Adam has never felt so love sick. Me and my brothers always try to cheer him up on this day but it never seems to work. Today...is our mom's birthday.

She left us all when we were real tiny. I wasn't even 1. My biggest sibling, Art was only 8 or 9. We haven't seen her since. I've only seen her in pictures. Our dad would always tell us these stories about her. He never wanted to tell me the real reason why she left though. I always thought it was my fault. I mean I was only a baby. He told me she was just so young with so many things going around in her head. That wasn't a good enough explanation for me though. As I got older I stopped asking questions about her. I just pretend she was never there in the first place. And sometimes I even feel like she can see me. I see her too, although it's just a figment of my imagination. But that's a conversation for another day.

My dad is the best guy ever though. He never left any of our sides. He was always there for football games, school, personal situations, boys, college, fights, and friends. I am of course the youngest out of all my siblings. Having five big brothers is awesome. I also have a big sister but she isn't around a whole lot because she's going to school to become a vet. She's the girly one with makeup and all the boys. Personally I've never been a fan of all girly things. But who knows, maybe I'll grow into it?

Secretly my favorite brother is Alex. He's always protecting me like a baby but I like it. Art and Katee are already out of the house but they still visit a lot. My brothers all share rooms. I have my own but I have a bunk bed and I get lonely a bunch so I'll have one of my brothers sleep with me on the bottom bunk. They usually all take turns. Sometimes I sleep with my daddy. He never minds. He is my superhero because I believe he saved me. He was always my best friend because for some reason it would always be hard for me to make friends. Every time I tried, they would tell me that I was weird or try and get to my brother Blaze. In a way, I don't have friends. Born and raised here in California is rough with all these mean kids.

Anyways back to us, we're playing football at the beach because it's SUMMER!!

Team #1= Art, Adelaide, Mason, Alex
Team#2=Dad, Katee, Blaze, Holt

Adelaide: Mason, pass it!

Mason: Do you not see Dad chasing me?!

Katee: Oh come on, he's not even that fast.

Adelaide: For real.

Alex: Just go steal it sis.

Adelaide: Uhhhhhhg.

I ran to Mason as fast as I could. They know I'm the fastest so they tell me to do it. Once I caught up to them they already went too far from where we were playing. They are so dumb. No way am I running all the way down there. I stopped to take a breath when I get hit in the head with a freakin' frisbee. The force coming from it caused me to fall down. I laid there rubbing my forehead groaning in pain. I couldn't see anything at the moment because of the piercing sun. Once a figure stood in front of me they started to adjust. Then a bunch of people started crowding me.

Adelaide: Who the hell was that?

They were a group of people. I was so confused and weirded out. One of the boys put his hand out for me to take. I gave him a disgusted look and got up myself. They were all surprised at my actions. One of them spoke up immediately.  He looked like the oldest out of the group of kids.

?: We're really sorry about that-.

Adelaide: Who hit me?

They all pointed to a light brown haired dude. I stepped up to the boy and gave him a death glare. He looked like the older kid. I took his shirt and pulled it.
