Lydia's POV

I opened the door only to be greeted by a police officer.

''hello, how may I help you officer?'' I said

''ARE YOU MS LYDIA MITCHELL?'' he asked

''yes'' I said

''i'm afraid that your parents and brother have died in a car crash'' he said looking down.

''WHAT!!!?!!, no they couldn't have, they were only on the way back from the grocery store, I just got off the phone with them'' I said really sad

''i'm sorry,'' he said before turning around,

''wait, who will I be living with?'' I asked him

''ahhh yes, I almost forgot, you will be living with the Bradley's, they are your god parents and in your parents will it says if anything happens to them you would live with them.'' he said

''when will I be leaving?'' I asked

''tomorrow at 2pm'' he said

''oh, okay''

I walked back to the house and phoned Brandon.

''hey babe'' he said

''heyyyyya''

''why did you phone me, you know I've got football practice, which reminds me wheres james?'' when hearing his name I burst into tears.

''babe whats wrong, never mind I will be there in 5 minutes.'' he said before hanging up. knowing he was coming made my spirit a little happier. exactly 5 mins later he was at my door step with chocolates.

''hey'' I said weakly

''aww babe what's wrong.''

''im going to miss you.'' I said without explaining why.

''why'' he asked

''babe my parents and james di---ed in a car --- crash a few moments ago.'' I said inbetween sobs.

''its going to be okay, don't worry, me and Janice will help you through this, you will be fine, don't worry.'' he said

''that's the thing, im not allowed to stay on my own so theyre moving me from here to new York!'' I said

''will we still be together?'' he asked

''forever and ever babay,'' I said with a smile.

after he left I went upstairs and packed it took me a long half an hour but I packed everything from clothes and shoes to pictures and technology stuff.

************* next day****************

I woke up at 12pm and brought all my suitcases down stairs and made lunch then waited for my new guardian to come and get me. I must have fallen asleep as the next thing I know they're are knocking on the door like yesterday. I walk up to the door and open it:

''hello you must be mrs bradley'' I said,

''please call me nikki'' she said

''ok''

''should we go'' she said

''yeah sure', let me just get my bags'' I said. I grabbed my bags and put them in the trunk of the car.

''so tell me about your family,'' I said

''well, I have 7 sons and 1 daughter but 3 of them don't live with us so you will only meet 5 of then today, I describe them from oldest to youngest:

''oh yeah I remember him, how old is he now?" I ask.

''hes 22 and in college,

"Are they still trouble makers?" I ask.

"Yep,

Then there's Jesse he's 19

Then there's Lucy, she's 18

Then there's Kyle and James, they're 17" she says

"Great! I'm the youngest," I say

"Yep, that means they will be protective" she said.

"Used to that" I mutter. "Can I ask you something?" I ask

"Sure"

"What school am I going to?"

"Lake view high" she said before I fell asleep.

"Lydia, wake up, we're here!" Nikki says.

"I'm up" I said. We walked through the house or should I say mansion, but they do have 8 children.

"Let me call the boys and girl" Nikki says before walking away. I hear her yelling cookies then a lot of footsteps. Then 4 boys and 1 girls stand in front of me.

"We'll introduce your selves then," Nikki says.i look at these boys and then look at her daughter and cream:

''LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!!''

''LYDIA!!!!!!!!!!!''

''omg, i havent seen you for ages,'' i said.

''i know, the last time i saw you was at the cheer champions when you fell, oh by the way, congrats.'' she said.

''i know right and thanks-'' someone interrupted us.

''mum, shes one of my best friends, shes the cheerleader that was dropped, remember i was telling you.'' lucy said.
