My Brothers

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Christina, I'm going to the store now do you want to come?"

Evelyn laughed quietly to herself when she heard a big THUMP, which she can only guess was Christina falling off her bed from surprise.

"Yea mom gimme a second!" replied Christina.

Christina quickly put on a pair of dark blue hip huggers that would be way to low for her brothers' comfort and a long sleeved red shirt that said"I'm not a daddy's little girl. But I am my brother's'". That she got form her brothers (go figure) on her fifteenth birthday.

After she put on her red and black poofy jacket she turned to look at herself in the mirror.

To Christina she is just average, but to other people she is considered drop dead gourges. Christina's wavy coal black hair is now waist length and it curls at the end. Her blue eyes are still as blue as when she was younger and they get darker or lighter on cloudy or sunny days.

Christina is short to her brothers but to others she is in the middle between short or tall, depending on the person. Her skin is pale with a slight tan to it and her figure can rival any supermodel.

In other words, she was hot.

"Christina Nicole Mercer, hurry up!"

It was just Christina and her mother now in the Mercer household since all her brothers have moved out. Bobby left when he was eighteen saying that he would visit on holidays and such, Christina remembered that day perfectly for that was the day when her hero had left her.

FLASHBACK:

"Don't go!" cried a seven year old Christina, hanging onto Bobby's leg and not letting go when anyone tried to pull her off. Bobby looked down at his little sister, who was so close to his heart. Since the day when Christina came to live with them they quickly started to love her like she was their little sister and they have all grown very protective of her.

Bobby sighed and bent down to pick her up holding her in his arms as she quickly locked her little arms around his neck incase anyone tried to pull her off, for someone so little she was very smart.

"What's wrong baby? Why are you so sad?" Bobby asked gently.

Normally he wouldn't be this gentle with anyone all the time, not even with Jack, but with Christina he always was. He would do anything to have his baby girl happy. Apparently, leaving her is NOT making her happy.

Christina sniffled burying her head into Bobby's shoulder hugging him to her like she never wanted to let go.

"I'm sad becwause you're leaving me, just like my angel mom."

Christina calls her birthmother angel mom because she now thinks of Evelyn as her mom or mommy but she never forgets about her birthmother.

Bobby closed his eyes sadly while his fist clenched in anger. Bobby knows only little parts of what had happened to Christina before she came here as she often had nightmares of her father beating her or of her angel mom's death as Bobby was always the one to comfort her after the nightmares were done.

FLASHBACK:

Bobby blinked awake, wondering what had woken him up, but realized it was Christina, as his cracked door opened and a six year old Christina stood in her night suit holding her teddy bear in one arm. Bobby sat up more and blinked at the light in the hall then looked down at his little sister who was still standing by the door.
