Chapter XX

"I don't have the money." my mom's voice sounded sick and tired.

"But mom, I love dancing." my 11 year old self whined.

"I know, I know. But we just can't afford it right now. Your father took all of our money."

"Is he ever coming back?"

"No, honey." she ran her fingers through my long hair. "I'm sorry."

"If you were sorry, you would've actually gone to college and gotten an actual good paying job and tried harder to get some money!" I stormed out of the house and ran down the street to the small lake located not very far away. I sat on the edge of the dock, hugging my legs and crying into them. I hated like. All I wanted was to see my father again, even after all the awful things he had caused my family. I still had the...

I jumped awake, and found my head lying on Link's hard bare chest. Though he was still asleep, the grip of his arms which were wrapped around me, tightened.

I smiled to myself, realizing that he actually did seem to care about me.

I slipped out of his grip and stood up, realizing I was still wearing my jean shorts and sweatshirt. I made my way up the steps and into the kitchen, to see if anyone was awake.

There was a note on the refrigerator that read I left for work. Help yourselves. Sitting at the counter located in the kitchen was Jacob, eating from a plate covered in scrambled eggs.

"Want some?" he pointed at a large plate with a bunch of scrambled eggs covering the surface.

"No than-"

"Have some." He stood up and walked towards a cabinet to pull out a plate and removed a fork from a drawer. He then scraped some of the eggs off the plate and onto the new one.

I examined Jacob. His hair was curlier compared to Link's and it looked like a dark brown fluff ball placed onto his head.

But it was hotter than what it sounds.

Jared came into the kitchen and pulled a carton of milk out from the refrigerator and drank from it.

"Thank you." I smiled politely as Jacob handed me the plate.

Levi entered the kitchen wearing nothing but his boxers and served himself a plate of scrambled eggs, then lathered it in syrup.

Does that even taste good?

Jesse then came into the kitchen, Jack wrapped around his back, and he served them two plates of scrambled eggs.

He dropped Jack down and Jack ran into the living room, joining Luke in playing 2K.

Jared let out a huge burp once he finished the carton, causing Jacob to snap at him.

"Jared!"

"What?" he rinsed out the carton.

"You're 21 years old, and you'd think you would have manners at that age." Jacob explained.

"Well, that's wrong." he snickered as he removed a box of cereal from a cabinet, pouring it into a bowl.

He headed towards the refrigerator and searched it for a good 15 seconds. "Where's the milk?"

"You drank it all, dumbass." Levi answered.

"Well fuck me." he slammed the door shut and grabbed his bowl of dry cereal and began eating it.

"You're gonna eat it dry?" Jesse questioned.
