WE’RE A FAMILY NATALIA

“In time we hate that which we often fear.”

       ― William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra

     I sleep little that night.

    To be honest, I'm a little freaked out. I don't know my family all too well, I mean they seem very welcoming but it could be an act.

    I now sit on the edge of my bed, which I swear can fit five other people, and look down on my room. It's four in the morning and I've tried every possible way to fall asleep but none of them have worked. I climb down from my bed and make my way to the small work desk set up against the wall and start up my new computer.

    The light flares in my eyes and I squint at the brightness. Once I've adjusted to the bright light I click through my setting and set everything to my own preferences. I yawn but feel no exhaustion.

    Opening up the safari I type furiously.

    Search: Bauman Family

    Many articles appear and I click on the most recent and begin to read. According to the article, Sherry and Theo had told the media they have a special surprise for them and it would be revealed on Tuesday evening. I swallow hard and nervously wring my hands.

    I hope they aren't talking about me.

    I click on another link and it takes me to a fan page for James and I twist in my seat awkwardly. I used to visit this site a lot. I quickly exit the tab and open another one and Rayne's face appears. The website just so happens to belong to Rayne, advertising her own clothing line.

    My mouth hangs open and I I shake my head in disbelief. She's only sixteen, how the hell does she already have her own clothing line? I exit that tab as well and yawn again, this time feeling the exhaustion. I shut the computer down and climb back up into my bed and pull the blankets up to my chin.

    I lay on my back staring at the ceiling and willing myself to fall asleep but sleep still evades me. I close my eyes and turn on my side and try to stop my thoughts from being so loud but that fails. I sigh with frustration and lay back on my back and open my eyes, staring at the ceiling again.

    I'm going to have to count sheep aren't I?

    I sigh again and mentally count the imaginary sheep jumping over me until my eyes finally close and my mind goes blank.

***

    In wake up to something bright shining in my eyes.

    God, will someone turn the light off? I'm trying to sleep here!

    When I finally open my eyes, I find it isn't a light, it's the sun. I frown and look over to my digital clock and see it says it's almost noon.

    Shit, I should really get out of bed.

    I stretch for a minute before I climb out of bed. I stop for a minute checking my surrounding, then I remember where I am.

    I hear a quiet knock at my door and I call out for them to come in. Sherry comes through the door and I forget to breath. It's still so weird to see people I watch in movies right in front of me, let alone be related to them.
