One of the hardest things you'll have to do my child is grief the lost of someone who's still alive- advice from a father#1(not mine)

I like that... It gives me hope that somehow its worse for someone else - extract from Zahra foster diary

7th January 2017 Saturday

I brain screamed at me as I woke up unexpectedly from the cold water and rubber smell in my nose. Great Parker's in a good mood. I took the burst Ballon from my head and threw it on the floor while lying back down ignoring the wetness of my bed. There's no way I'm getting up.

He threw another one at me. I wiped the water from my face opening my eyes and giving him a death glare. He stood next to my bed his tall stature that would intimate anyone but had little effect on me because in my eyes he was a five year old.

He smacked two more balloons in my face and I glared harder before lunging at him which he didn't really expect but all the same he still manage to slip past my fingers and ran out of my room. When he was gone I pouted at my soaked bed sheets before trying to move to the dry part at the foot of my bed. I didn't want to get up.

"Zahra you better get your big butt out of that bed before I do it myself! " screamed my big brother Parker stomping down the stairs as if he was an elephant. I groaned knowing he would actually do something crazy if I didn't get up.

"but I'm comfy and it's a Saturday!" I screamed back. I wasn't comfortable but he didn't need to know that. It might give him ideas to do worse things. Seriously though why do people want to ruin my sleep. Do I not deserve to sleep in on a Saturday.

"I don't care, you got five seconds!" oh no. That's when something clicked. If Parkers here, that means the others are here. I jumped out of bed as if it was on fire yelling "I'ma coming , I'ma coming " nearly tripping as I sprinted out of my room. Lucas popped his head out of his room and started laughing when I nearly tripped going down the stairs.

When I finally got to the kitchen, dad stood at the sink his coffee still steaming with a grin on his face.

The rest of my brothers stood at the counter, looking all cute and adorable . I screeched before lunging at all of them. Kaden and Parker dodged me but I managed to get a hold on the twins. I tried to be careful while hugging then, not wanting to get them wet.

"Geez woman it's only been two weeks" said Nathan. I let go of these two before jumping on Parker. Even though I was mad at him, I saw the opportunity and I took it making sure to rub my wet hair onto his face.

"well this what you get since you all jumped on the first opportunity to not come home" I let go and made a grab for Kaden not really caring about the wetness anymore, they knew not to resist. If they did I'd squeeze the life out of them.

"Yeah we knew we had to come today or you would bite our heads off." Zack said while his twin Nathan agreed chomping his teeth together.

"Literally" Parker agreed I rolled my eyes at them. Freaken Parker can go die in a hole.

"well you guys made me miss my big brother's birthday." I pouted still not letting go of Kaden. He turned 22 on the 5th and these idiots excluding Lucan didn't even bother coming home, they left after Christmas and was only returning now.

"dude your so old now" Lu frowned at him. Kad just glared back while everyone else laughed.

"what you laughing at parks, your one year younger than me" Kad remind Parker who just laughed. "unlike you I enjoy being old, the freedom it gives you. Remember those times when we couldn't experience life I mean look zehra isn't even old enough to drink yet " he reminded with a wink, rolling my eyes at him.
