Muted

Chapter 3

A solid thirty minutes later we passed the 'Welcome to Bliss Alberta!' sign on the highway. As we drove through the beautiful small town, we passed the local school. I saw a few girls around my age laughing with each other in their shorts and tank tops with their tanned skin and bright smiles. It made me smile a little bit too. Until I looked down at my old ripped jeans, black converse and my grey long-sleeved shirt. It was all very...

Plain.

My smile faded.

Another fifteen minutes later we hit a dirt road with fences on either side. On one side horses were grazing, and on the other a calf was drink from its mother, while other cows were walking about. A few minutes more later the truck came to a stop. If I thought that the view was amazing it was nothing compared to the house. It was amazing and ironically white. Jumping out of the truck I took my bag from Peter and followed them both into the house. Inside it was even more beautiful. With white marble stairs and dark wooden floors. It was breath taking and CLEAN. Too busy looking at the pictures that littered the walls, I bumped into Paige's back.

"Oh sorry dear," She said looking back at me.

"Well Aurora," Peter spoke from behind me, "These are our boys."

"Adrian,"

The first boy stepped forward. He was as Peter, maybe even a few inches taller. He had blue eyes and dark brown hair. His arms were thick with muscle. Probably due to all the farm work.

"Carson,"

The third boy had long, light brown hair with blonde highlights from being out in the sun. It was up in a man-bun. He had grease on his hands and a streak across his cheek where he probably scratched it. He had sparkling, brown eyes.

"Jake,"

This boy had mud caked to one side of his face. He had dark blue eyes and bright blond hair. His muscles were thick everywhere and his hands looked calloused.

"Alex and Tyler,"

Alex had dark brown hair and green eyes while Tyler had blonde hair and blue eyes. Tyler reminded me of the stereotypical all-American boy. Tyler smirked at me and Alex gave me a friendly smile like the rest of the boys. Well I could already see which one of them I'm not going to get along with.

"Logan and Louis,"

Logan had blond hair and green eyes and when he smiled two little dimples appeared. Louis was the same except her had dark brown hair and his roots were slightly blonde. He also had paint splattered all over his face and clothes. They were both significantly smaller being only thirteen.

"And lastly, little Sam."

This little boy was the one of the cutest kids I've ever seen. He had curly blond hair, blue eyes and dimples. I could just see him being a heart breaker when he got to be as old as his brothers.

"Boys, this is Aurora." Paige said gesturing to me. I gave them all a small, nervous smile as they looked at me. They all smiled back, letting me relax slightly. Sam started to move towards me until he stood front of me. He raised his arms up and kept repeating, "up" until I dropped my bag and picked him up.

"You're really pretty Rora." He whispered in my ear. This caused a real, genuine smile to form on my face. I leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He giggled and buried his face into my neck.

"So Ma says that there's something wrong with your voice?" Tyler asked frowning at me from his position against the railing on the stairs.

"Tyler?!" Paige said, looking horrified that he would just come right out and say it like that. Not wanting then to them that it bothers me I just nodded my head in confirmation.
