Can he mend the broken?

Chapter 3: New friends

Ana's POV

I swung my front door open and walked in. "Mom!" I yelled...no response. I sighed and figured she went out with her boyfriend for dinner. I headed up the stairs and into my room, I noticed my dresser and mattress arrived at the house and my mom and her boyfriend brought them up. I moved my boxes onto my bed to take my clothes out and put them away. I picked out a pair of white skinny jeans, a hot pink tank top and a black cardigan, and took a shower. I got dressed and put my long black hair in a sock bun and applied a light amount of makeup. Finally I sprayed myself with my favorite perfume and headed over to Debbie's. I approached the door and knocked. A few seconds later Debbie was at the door.

"Hey Ana, come in, you look nice by the way," she smiled.

"Thank you," I replied and smiled. There were two other boys sitting on the couch they looked older.

"That's Philip and Ian. They are my brothers too. Lip, Ian, this is Ana she just moved in next door," Debbie looked at me.

"Nice to meet you Ana," they both gave me a friendly smile which I returned. I followed Debbie into the kitchen and I saw a young woman who was preparing dinner.

"Hey sis, this is Ana the girl I invited to dinner tonight," Debbie stood by me.

She turned around "Hi! I'm Fiona I'm Debbie, Carl, Lip, Ian and Liam's sister," she smiled. Liam? I guess there was another one of them I didn't meet yet. I thought

"Hi Fiona, nice to meet you," I replied and then ran upstairs following Debbie. I heard a baby crying and I guessed that it was Liam.

"Shhh," I heard Carl say as we entered the room he was holding a slightly tan skinned toddler who looked about 4. "Hey," he whispered as he set the child who stopped crying in a playpen.

"And that's Liam," Debbie pointed to the toddler.

"How old is he?" I questioned.

"He's 4," Debbie laughed. I smiled and looked into the playpen, he was so cute.

"So what do you guys want to do before dinner is ready?" Carl questioned.

"We can play headbands!" Debbie exclaimed as she looked over at the box sitting on the small table.

"Nah that's boring," Carl shut down.

"Oh come on Carl, you're boring. I guess me and Ana will play by our selves," Debbie shot back.

"Fine, i'll play," he whined as he got up off the top bunk to sit with us on the floor.

"Do I have legs?" Debbie asked. I looked over at Carl not knowing what to say because she was a chair and chairs do have "legs,"

"Uhh yeah," Carl answered. "Okay, umm am I an animal?" she asked.

"No" Me and Carl both answered.

"Am I a human?" debbie asked.

"Nope" we replied.

"What, that's impossible if I have legs I have to be alive. I give up!" She laughed and took the card off of her head and giggled at our humor. "Ohhh I get it, chairs have legs," she laughed.

"L O L" Carl rolled his eyes with an annoyed look on his face.

"Oh grow up carl, learn to be a kid again for once," she shot back.

"Whatever" He sighed and we continued on with our game until Fiona called us down for dinner. After we ate I thanked Fiona for making such a good meal. I haven't had a real meal and sat at a table with my family in a long time.

"Hey do you want to sleep over tonight if it's ok with your mom?" Debbie asked.

"Yeah sure i'll go back to my house to get my stuff for school tomorrow," I replied and ran back to my house. My mom still wasn't home. I went to my room and picked out an outfit for my first day of school tomorrow and threw it into my backpack with all my school supplies and books in it and left my house. Lip was sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette.

"You can just go right in you don't need to knock," Lip said after he took a drag.

"Thanks," I smiled and walked in. Fiona was on the couch watching tv with Ian.

"They're upstairs hun, you can go up," Fiona hinted as her eyes moved upwards, I sent her a smile and ran up stairs.

"I kind of like Ana," I overheard what Carl confessed to his sister.

"Well she probably doesn't like you cause you're an ass," Debbie nagged. I giggled after I heard Debbie's response.

"Hey guys," I interrupted as I walked into her room.

"Heyyy" Debbie replied quickly looking over at me.

"Oh crap I forgot pjs. Do you have some sweats and a T shirt I can borrow for the night," I requested

"I do!" Carl piped up. "I'll be right back," he said and ran out of the room.

"I think he likes you," Debbie whispered and smirked.

"I think I kind of like him too," I confessed. Carl walked back into the room and handed me sweat pants and one of his T-shirts.

"Bathroom is on the left," he smiled.

"Thanks," I took the cloths from his hands and went to change. His sweatpants were a little big on me and his Shirt too but I didn't care cause it was his cloths, they smelled like him too. I went back to Debbie's room.

"Okay we should get to bed we have school tomorrow," Debbie sighed.

"Yeah we should," I replied and sat down on the pull out bed that was already made for me next to Debbie's bed. We all howled our goodnights across the halls. I layed down and stared at the ceiling. I can get used to this I thought, and smiled as I drifted off to sleep peacefully for once.
