     Wide-eyed, I quickly turned around to see Liz standing beside me, a sheepish smile on her face. I didn't trust myself to speak, so a settled for giving her a small smile, before turning around and nearly bolting for the back-door. I swung it open and slipped inside, letting out a long breath that I didn't realize I'd been holding.

     Shaking my head, I walked out of the kitchen, poking my head in each of the rooms along the hallway until I found the living room. Blowing a stand of hair out of my face, I awkwardly stepped inside, sitting down on one of the comfy armchairs beside the lounge. From there, I continued to grab a pillow and repeatedly hit my face with it.

     Why does my life insist on being so unpredictable? Why can't I, for just twenty-four hours, be able to comfortably live my life without something happening? And why, today, did it have to be a certain five somethings?

     Lifting my head out of the pillow, I wrung my hands together and stared blankly out the window. The little one I could deal with, he was cute, you know, that's fine. As was the the other one, he looked younger than me, I can deal with that. But that's only two-fifth's of the problem.

     The other third come in one extremely hot, extremely heart-stopping teenage boy package. What. The. Hell.

      I was awkward enough on my own, I didn't needed a bunch of boys hanging around.

     Admittedly,  the looks on their faces when they saw me was nearly something to laugh about. Eyes wide, mouth gaping, they were probably appalled at their parents for letting another girl into their house, a girl. I suppose they're just gonna have to suck it up, cause I'm certainly not going anywhere.

     After sitting in silence for a while, I could hear the back door opening and the sound of footsteps coming down the hallway. Surely enough, two heads popped through the living room door, one belonging to Liz, and the other belonging to the little boy I saw earlier. I smiled at them as Liz came to sit on the lounge beside me, the little boy perching himself on top of the glass coffee table.

     "Thought we'd come check up on you. I'm sorry I forgot to mention it on the way over here, I just.." she apologized, trailing off and sending me a small smile. I feel like that's all everyone is doing at the moment, those small smiles that mean you're neither happy or sad, or anything, really. In the space of nearly twenty-four hours, I was already growing tired of them.

     "It's alright, I'm just, uh, surprised I guess." I said, telling her nearly the truth. Maybe I left out the part where I was overwhelmed by the hotness of some of her children and how I can manage to make myself look like less of an idiot. If that's even possible.

     "You'll have to get used to not being an only child" She laughed. I only smiled, however it probably looked more like a grimace. "Liam wanted to meet you straight away, so I dried him off and brought him inside." She said, as Liam grinned at me.

     I smiled at him, as he hopped off his seat on the table and came up to me. "Hi, Faith." He was adorable, with curly brown hair and a contagious dimpled grin that you could see he got from his father.

     "Hey, Liam. Nice to meet you." I said, bringing my hand out for him to shake, laughing as he did so.

     "I think you should be my new best friend, because all my brothers are boring and they don't know how to play hide-and-seek properly." He said, a small pout forming on his lips.
