Just One Last Wish

Chapter 4

"After about a 3 hour flight from the orphanage in Oregon to Austin,TX, we finally got there and my jaw dropped in amazement as I saw the house that was our new home. We pulled into the circular driveway with a cherry blossom tree in the middle of it.

"Welcome to your new home girls. Oliver is the oldest of the house and he will show you two to your rooms"

Addison said in a sweet tone. Just as she said that, an older boy who looked way older than me walked out of the front doors. Ellie and I got out of the car and looked at the front garden that was full of beautiful blossoming lilies, daisies, and two of my personal favorites daffodils and morning glories. Yea, I'm kinda really into flowers.

"Alright girls. If you need anything-"

"You're not coming?"

Ellie turn to Addison with an expression on her face like she was asking 'Are you?'

"Well, I know it seems funny, but there isn't very much space in that house, and then with you to moving in I knew we just couldn't have enough space for all of us. So, my husband and I live in the guest house across the street. Don't worry we're constantly here, so we will check on you. I will be there in a few minutes but, I need to make a conference call real quick. Just give me a second.

She urges and starts towards the guest house.

I was kinda confused on why but I didn't want to ask too many questions, so I just let it go.

"Okay, well..I suppose.."

I say after her as she walks off.

While I was still searching the garden to see if I could count how many daffodils there were, a boy who looked around my age came out. He looked kind of familiar, but I couldn't pin point his face to a name. He got one knee and started to dig some holes to add more daffodils. I peered over his shoulder

"Those are really beautiful"

He looked up at me and once I looked at his eyes, which were silver like his hair, I couldn't bare to look away. We were so close that I saw something that I couldn't really see from far away, he was beautiful. Well, he's male, so handsome. We were so close, that if I wanted to, I could-- WHAT AM THINKING!?!?! HE'S MY NEW BROTHER!!!!!! I have to get out of this situation, fast.

"Are you ready to see your new rooms?"

A manly but still teenage like voice said behind me. I jumped up and yelled,

"YES!"

I walked towards him flustered as ever. He's cute, but we're siblings now. DAMNIT!!!

"I'm Oliver, the oldest here"

Oh, so this is him, he's cute...UGH! GET THESE THOUGHTS OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

"Are you okay?"

He pointed to me.

"You keep getting redder and redder. Are you sick?"

He bent down a little to get face to face with me. He felt my forehead with his hand, we're so close. I could feel my cheeks heating up.

"YES!"

Why do I keep yelling?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ellie and I reach our rooms, and I stare in confusion. "Why is it so big?" I blubber. The floor shone with light as the chandelier twinkled from above. The beds was circular and piled with pillow and thick blankets. A door led to a bathroom, with large tub. The closet was twice as big, but was empty, except for the few belongings that I had.

"I'll be in the living room downstairs with everyone else, whenever you guys are ready, come on down." Oliver says at the door as I re-enter the room.

The thought of what Oliver said to us earlier popped into my head. 'Everyone else'. Damn. There more? I

"Ela, you ready?"

"Huh?"

The sound of Ellie's voice snapped me back to reality.

"Yea, I am Elephant"

She giggled and took my hand as we ran of the room and looked for the living room. The house was huge, it almost felt impossible to find it. But, after getting lost a few times, we finally made it to the living room. We laughed as we ran in relieved that we found it. We looked at everyone sitting and the laughter stopped as we saw how many brothers we actually had.

WHAT THE FU--
