Xavier's POV:

I walk into the living room of our family's mansion, only to see Milly being carried upstairs by my twin, Blake. "Why are you carrying Milly?" I question Blake. "She seemed to off fallen asleep after finishing her homework. Seems like their still giving the students a tonne of homework at Riverview." Blake tells me, with one of his famous smirks. I swear to God the only times Blake isn't smirking is when he's talking to Milly. Milly is the only person who My brothers and I are soft with.

I Nod my head and Blake starts walking up the stairs to get to Milly's room. I look down at the table in the living room and see that Millie did an English Assessment, probably due in 2 weeks, 3 pages of Math homework, a page of Science and Half a powerpoint for History. Millie, like me, has always tried too get everything almost immediately done and out of the way so she doesn't have to worry about homework at the last minute.

After Blake put Milly in her bed, I went to my room and started to get ready for bed. I was brushing my teeth when I heard crying. I immediately know it's Milly. She always get's nightmares when there's a thunderstorm, like right now. It's as if she can sense it in her sleep and it reminds her of the night our parents died.

I race to get to her bedroom, nocking past her half open door. I look over to Milly's bed and see she's still asleep, but is wimpering. It's always affected my brothers and I when Milly's upset. I know that I need to calm her down, before my brothers feel that she's sad and come racing here like I did. I wake Milly up calmly.

"Milly, Mils. Your ok, I need you to wake up, come on Milly." I cooed her encouragingly. I hear her take a sharp intake of air, and I can tell she's awake. I lye down next to her underneath her blankets and pull her into my chest. I loop my arms around her back, calming her down.

I feel something wet on my bare chest and look down only to see Milly crying. She tilts her face so that she's looking at me and I can see the sadness in her eyes. I know that My brothers are going to be here any minute, probably Mike and Jace first, as we've always been able to sense if Mil's is cyring. We don't know how we can sense it, we just can.

She's hugging me back, when Jace and Mike appear, breathless at the door. They both frantically look around, trying to find the silhouette of Milly's bed in the dark. Once they found it, they literally jumped onto her bed, making the bed dip down. They crawled up too were Mill and I were hugging/lying.

I let go of Milly, knowing that Jace and Mike are the fastest people to calm her down (Than it's me). They both attack her into a group hug and hold her in the middle of them, so that she's facing Jace and her backs to Mike. She cried into Jace's chest, also bare, (None of us wear shirts to sleep, we get to warm?), and he just soothed her.

After a few minutes, she fell alseep in their arms. "I'm going to sleep with her tonight guys. Xavier, thanks for getting here so quickly." Jace tells Mike and I. I nodd and give Milly a kiss on her head, while Mike Kisses her head and gives her a quick squeeze.

We walk out of her room, leaving her in Jace's capable arms. I check the clock and it's 11pm. Were walking towards our bedrooms, when we bang into the rest of the boys. "Is she ok?" Luca asks, worried and stressed.

"She's fine now. WE calmed her down." Mike tells the boys, half calm, half irritated. I swear to God Mike is bipolar, it's the most confusing thing. One second he's nice and calm, the next he looks as if he's about to bite someone's head off.

"YOU LEFT HER ALONE!" Ben screamed at us, before storming off, towards Milly's room. Mike grabbed Ben and plonked him down where he was before, with my help, man he's heavy.

"Of course not you idiot! Jace is with her, as you clearly haven't noticed, he's the only brother NOT present right now." I tell him, irritated and tired.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go sleep, Night!" I scream over my shoulder.

I enter my room and flop into my bed and immediately fall asleep.

Milly's POV:

I wake up In strong arms, circling around me. I look up and see it's Jace. I then remember all of last night, The storm, my bad dream/memory, being woken up by Xav, all of it. I decide to try and wake up Jace.

"Jace. Jace. Wake up!" I whispered. Nothing happened so I decide to poke jace. after a bit of poking nothing happened. I kissed him on the cheek and he finally woke up.

"Good morning Milly. How you feeling?" Jace asks me, in a sleepy voice. "I'm better thanks Jacey. Sorry for waking you guys up, I'll try and make it quieter next time." I excuse myself, sheepishly.

"It's ok, babydoll. It's not your fault, there was a thunderstorm afterall." Jace tells me, hugging me tightly. I was about to respond when I feel the bed dip down, big time. I look around my bed, only to find that all my brothers are sitting on it. I'm surprised we all fit, but then again, my bed is really too big for one small person.

"Hey Milly! How you feeling?" My brother ben askes me. "I feel good, thanks! How about you guys?" I reply and then ask my brothers with a smile on my face. I get a chorus of goods and oks. I'm lifted out of Jace's arms, causing him to growl, and am in return pulled into Xav's arms, with me seated in his lap.

"Are you better now Milly?" Xav asked me. I nod and hug him back. I then crawl out of his lap and hug each of my brothers.

They all leave to let me get dressed for school and I quickly put on a emerald green blouse with long arms, black skinny jeans, white converse and a white sweater. I brush my hair and leave it out. I quickly put on some lip balm and jump down the stairs to get to the kitchen, hungry after not eating dinner last night.

Ben hands me a plate full of pancakes, knowing that I would be hungry. I throw a quick thank you over my shoulder before sitting down with My brothers. Once we finished eating, we climbed into Mike's car (I don't know which kind of car it is?) and drove to school.

Hopefully this day is as good as yesterday was!
