C 18: Book 1

Hi, My Names Cynthia 😊

Cyn POV

Hi my name is Cynthia Santana, I am 18 and I have 7 older OVERPROTECTIVE brothers.

June, Peanut, Chresanto, Gemini- Geo, Rodrick, Sergio and Kenny and then there's me. In my childhood I wasn't favored at all by my parents.

Between my Mom, Dad and I things were awkward.

    When my brothers all left the house my dad and mom grew apart. He became an alcoholic and abusive. Things happened in that house that I never told my brothers.

My brothers left together but separated, Chresanto stayed and finished school, while the rest made disappeared.

My brothers participated in behaviors that they shouldn't have even allowed to be talked about, and I am sure they thought I had no clue.

My brother Chres had me move out with him and go to school at VA, in Norfolk North Carolina. I did well in school and to keep myself occupied I ended up joining the swim team.

I made friends pretty quickly, it was never hard at home to make friends but I differently stayed in the house more then I should of.

Coming out here with my brother was the best decision, away from disapproving parents, and nonchalantly surroundings.

Moving in with Santo was cool and all but his friends   were always over, Not to mention, they smoked and sold weed almost all the time.

They were the neighborhood hookup, if you wanted some weed they would get your right.

Craig, Prince and Ray. Princeton was my cousin so we grew up together a little bit, Craig and I got very close and as time went by we ended up dating.

Lord knows Craig is fine as hell, he was good to me and my brother trusted him...and for a while he was the best boyfriend I had. He was really my first boyfriend that I had EVER had...

That was until he changed.

One day he snapped, came home and things between us were never the same. He was scary now, he was abrasive and I saw the same change in my brother, my cousin..

And my little fairytale of being on my own, having my own all came to a crashing halt how he acted only became worse.

Craig: Cyn? " I heard, His heavy footsteps made there way up to my room.

I got up out of bed and put on some shorts and a tank top, and slipped on my slippers. I got up and went to the mirror, catching the side of my face. A old bruise from Craig sat visibly under my eye.

Craig: I know you hear me calling Cynthia." he yelled. I jumped at the bass in the voice, running to the door to get it for him.

Me: Sorry I was-"

Craig: I don't care what you were doing you answer when I call you." he snapped, grabbing me by my neck.

Me: ahhh o-ok my fault" I said as I clawed at his arm. He looked at me in the eyes, before smiling evilly.

Craig: There's a new kid coming to your house..Lucas I presume is his name." he scoffed.

Craig: Your brother wants you to help welcome him, come on, get dressed and look decent for once." he taunted. I nodded my head and waited for him to exit the room.

I sighed in relief as he left the room, rubbing my neck as it was a bit sore from his grasp.

Cleaning up, I grabbed some clean clothes and got ready for the new person.

   Chres had this giant house that he moved me into, I forgot to mention. Not sure how he afforded this house but I was very sure our older brother June had something to do with it.
