Love At First Sight - An Austin Mahone Fanfic

Love At First Sight- Chapter 2

We all get out of the car. "Wooww.." I say in amazement. "What are we doing standing here?! Lets go inside!!" I hear one of Austin's friends say (Zach, I think is his name).

When we get inside Michele has the boys take me to my room. Alex (I think..) says to my sisters, "You guys don't have to share a room!" I can see the excitement in their eyes. They start jumping up and down which I thought was funny. Every bedroom has furniture in it. My room even has a crib for Brooklyn. My new room is huge, its my dream room. I have a balcony that over looks the ocean, a bathroom with a jet tub and a stand up shower, and a huge walk in closet. On my bureau, there are 2 perfumes from PINK by Victoria's Secret, and a gift card to there too. I think there is $75 on the card, but I'm not sure. 

Next to the gift card and perfumes, there is a handwritten note. It says;

"Dear Amanda, 

    Your uncle told me your favorite store was Victoria's Secret so I got you a gift card to there and some perfumes! I hope you like it. I hope you like this place too, your uncle said you would. I hope you find happiness, and adventure here. 

Lots of love, Dave."

I smiled at the letter. That was very nice of Dave. I feel like we are related or something. Maybe cousins, maybe he's my uncle.. Who knows. My mom has a step brother. Maybe thats him. Whatever he is, he feels like family.

The boys are still in my room as I unpack, so are my sisters. I put everything into drawers, then go to help my sisters unpack. They're so happy, and I love it. I've never seen them this happy. Maybe this will be good for all of us, so we can get away from everything. The boys keep following me everywhere I go. And they keep asking me questions that I don't want to answer. "Where'd you come from?" "Why'd you come and move here?" 'Why are you living with your uncle and not your parents?" I felt like saying, "Why can't you shut your god damn mouths?" but I don't want to be rude the first day I'm here. 

Its already 5:00, and everyone is saying they're hungry. Michele offers to cook, but I tell her to sit down and relax because I'm going to cook tonight. She smiled and gave me a hug. "Does everyone like ribs, white rice, corn and green beans?" I ask everyone "YESSSSS!!!!" everyone says in harmony. "Ribs it is then" I say and everyone, including myself,laughs.

....

The ribs should be done in 5 minutes. My uncle and the boys keep pestering me about letting them try it. I keep saying no because they're almost done. 

Finally the food is done. I tell everyone to set the table, and sit down. I make everyone a plate, except myself. "Aren't you going to eat something?" My uncle asks me. "No, I'm not hungry." I reply. "Typical.." he mutters but everyone can still hear it. I just roll my eyes at him. "Amanda, you're so skinny. You need some meat on your bones! Eat something!" I hear Michele say. I smile at her and giggle "No I'm fine". I sit Brooklyn in a height chair that they have at the house, and start to feed her. She won't budge. I think she's sick. She keeps coughing, sneezing and she won't eat. "I'll be right back" I say and I go to get her medicine. I carry it just in case any of my sisters get sick.

I come back to the table and give Brooklyn her medicine, and everyone asks whats wrong. "I think she just has a cold, thats all" everyone lets out a little sigh of relief. "I think I'm gonna put her down for a nap, I'll be back in a bit" As I leave the table, I can feel some watching me. 

I sing Brooklyn to sleep. It was pretty easy considering she was sick. It took about 20 minutes until she was fully asleep. I laid her down in her crib, and went to see where everyone was. 

I go out to the living room and sit down on the couch on the other end of the room. No one else is sitting on it, thats why I sat there. I sat at the end, leaning my back on the arm-rest, and my knees bent, scrolling through my twitter feed. As I turned to look to everyone, they were all staring. "what.." I say kind of quietly. "why didn't you sit over here with us?" Alex says (I remembered which is which). "I rather sit over here" I replied. The room goes silent. I hear Brooklyn crying, not the tired and sick cry, but the hurt cry. 

When I get in the room, she's on the floor. She must've tried to escape her crib. When she wakes up and she doesn't see me, she tries to climb out of her crib to come find me because she doesn't feel safe with out me. Everyone followed me in the room to see if she's okay. I picked her up and rocked her back and fourth until she stopped crying. Thank god she was alright. 

It was almost 8 and I decided to give Brooklyn, Kiley, and Breanna a bath, then take a shower, or maybe even a bath for myself. I put bubbles that found in the cabinet in each of the girls baths, because they love bubbles, especially Breanna. After Brooklyn gets out, it's Breanna's turn. Breanna is a little more independent, and she is very responsible. I go to dress Brooklyn and leave her in the bath with the door open (we're using the bathroom in my room). I put Brooklyn in her footsie pajamas, and go check on Breanna. She has bubbles EVERYWHERE. But I'm not mad. I laughed with her, and helped her wash her hair. 

Breanna's out, now Kiley. I let her take a shower since she's older. I still can't believe Kiley turns 9 in, like,  2 weeks. I remember the day she was born. It was the best day of my life. I found my best friend. My sisters will never know how much they mean to me. They helped me through more than they can understand. 

Finally. My turn. I tell everyone I'm going in the shower, and I leave the girls in the living room so my uncle and everyone else can watch them. 

When I turn on the hot water it feels so good. And with the special shower head, it feels like I'm getting a massage. I think I hear someone come in my room, maybe its just one of my little sisters. I step out of the shower, wrap my hair in a smaller towel, and then i wrap my body in a towel that goes down to my knees. I walk out of the bathroom, into my actual bedroom and i see Robert sanding there. "Sorry, this is an awkward time.. but I need to talk to you." he says. I was a little scared. I just looked at him. 

"My friend.. Austin.." he trailed off. "He likes you.." I just stood there. I didn't know what to say. "Oh really.." I finally manage to say. "Yeah.. and he was wondering if tomorrow you wanted to go to the beach with him." Oh no. Not the beach. I can't. I have scars on my legs and arms and bruises on my stomach. "I- I can't.." I say and I look down. He looks at me funny. "I'll talk to Austin after i get dressed.." Robert just nodded then left my room. I close, and locked the door. I picked out my most comfortable outfit. Yoga pants, and a white long sleeve shirt. It was a heavy long sleeve shirt, which was good. I put on my clothes, and went to the living room where everyone was still sitting. They had on kids shows for my little sisters. They seemed to be comfortable with my sisters and my sisters were comfortable with them, which was good. Austin was holding Brooklyn and when she sees me she reaches for me and says my name. Everyone looks over at me, and I take her from Austin. I sit down on the couch opposite of everyone. I look at Austin, as he was already looking at me. "So.. you wanna go to the beach tomorrow?" I finally say. "Yeah.. " he said and looked away. My uncle looked at me. He knows that I can't. "I'm sorry.. I just.. I can't" 

Everyone looks at me funny, even my sisters. Not my uncle though, he already knows. "Wha- what? Why?" his cheeks turn a little pink. He seems to be embarrassed for being turned down. I would go with him I just can't. "Uhm.. girls.. can you go to your rooms. This isn't something you guys should hear or know about" I say looking at the girls. "Okay" they say. I know they want to know. They're too young.
