I walked into the house, I forgot how many memories I had growing up here before I went away to the PEASOS (Proffesional expressive arts school of Scotland. Btw I made that up lol idec)

I felt the warmth of being back home as I heard my parents and brothers run down the stairs. My brother Daniel was the first to run and hug me as it's been so long since i last seen him as while I was away he started a band and didn't have time to visit me.

"Hey Hope!" Daniel yelled
"HEYYYY I MISSED YOU!!" I squealed
I was swallowed into a huge hug from Daniel and my other brother Wyatt
"Hey Wyatt!!" I laughed as I was squished
"Heyyyyy Hopeeeeeee" he laughed

———————————————

After I had all my greeting and welcome homes I headed to my bedroom and unpacked. It felt good to be home...

I heard the door open and Daniel came in and sat down.
"Hey Hope, mom, dad and Wyatt are going out tonight to see Andy so I'm having the band round later is that okay?" He asked

"Yeah as long as you guys don't make to much noise as I've been traveling all day and unpacking so I'm really tired" I laughed

(Btw Andy is the director of the movie "IT" Wyatt stars in the film as Stanley)

Daniel left the room and I soon drifting into a calm sleep.

...
...... Zzzz .....
.....

"WHAT THE HECK!?" I yelled as I woke up to a loud clattering noise, it was now 9pm and Wyatt and my parents are away over night as they had to travel quite far for the meeting with Andy and the rest of the cast.

I wondered down the stairs to see Daniel and four boys all joking around in the living room, so.. that's who Daniel was talking about.

I coughed loudly trying to catch their attention but it didn't work. Typical boys. I walked down and stood in front of the television they were watching and I soon had all 5 pairs of eyes on me.

"Can you guys keep it down, you woke me up!" I laughed

"Sorry sis, anyway now that your up I might as well introduce you to the boys, this is Jonah, Corbyn, Zach and.."

"Jack, I'm Jack" the curly haired boy smiled at me

Oh so that's Jack... he's really cute.

"Well I'm sure Daniel had all ready told you all but I'm Hope it's nice to meet you boys but I'm gonna go back to bed, night!" I grinned and walked off with a bounce in my step. As I was about to reach the second top stair I overheard my name.

"Yo, your sisters cute" I heard one of the boys

"Dude! Just no! She's my sister!" I heard Daniel say disgustedly

I laughed it off and went to sleep again.

———————————————

I woke up and picked up my phone, it was 3:53am. I groaned and sneaked down the stairs careful not to wake the boys up. I looked over at the couches to see them all lying on each other. I saw Jack whimpering in his sleep lying on Zach and I was careful not to laugh even though he looked adorable right now.

I tiptoed through to the kitchen to get some Milk because what else would you be doing at 3am? I was raiding the fridge when I heard something behind me.
I turned around to see a sleepy Jack walking towards me.

"Wha you doing uppp?" He groaned making me laugh

"Getting milk, why are you up?" I snickered

"Becos you woke me uppp" He lazily yawned

"Sorry Jack" I smiled

"I don't want to go back to the couch, it's so uncomfortable" he moaned

OH MY GOD JACKS MORNING VOICE IS SO CUTE AHHHH I CANT EVEN GOD DAMN

I thought about what he said and then I decided why not anyway

"Do.. you want to come to my room then?" I asked

"Really?" His gaze landed on me and he smiled

"Yeah, I have a spare mattress you can borrow" I looked him and he nodded

Before I knew it we were in my room and Jack was sitting on my bed with me.

"So.. where were you before you came back to America?" He asked

"Scotland, it was pretty cool I guess"

"What's Scotland like?"

"It's really pretty and the nature is so different like all the people there are so friendly too" I smiled down at my feet

"Sounds cool, did you go because you were doing ballet? I think that's what Daniel said" he asked curiously

"Yeah, I trained to learn professional ballet for four years" I laughed

"Damn that's really amazing" he laughed

"So.. what do you like to do Jack?" I  asked

"I like skateboarding, I've done it for a long time"

"I wish I knew how to skateboard" I sighed

"Maybe I can teach you sometime?" He grinned

"I'd love that"

We spent the rest of the learning things about each other and our pasts before we both fell asleep.

———————————————

I woke with an arm around me and my legs were tangled up with someone else's...

OH GOD OH NO NO NO

I looked over to see Jack still sleeping and I nudge him to wake him

"What... what is it?" He groaned

"Jack!!! Daniel and the boys are gonna be awake soon and look!" I pointed at the fact he was snuggled up to me

He quickly removed himself from my bed.

"Okay... we can't tell Daniel this ever happened"

"I wasn't going to anyway" I laughed

I snuck Jack back down the stairs and he pretended to be asleep again and I headed through to the kitchen just before my mom, dad and Wyatt retuned.

"Oh hey guys" I smiled

"Hi honey, where's Daniel?"

"He's still asleep in the living room with the band"

"Okay, I say we go wake them all up" my dad grinned

He ran though and started yelling and all of the boys jumped from the noise and groaned leaving me, my mom and Wyatt laughing so hard. I guess I can get used to this...
