I havent updated in a long time...whoops

_______________

As I stared at the ceiling, I heard a loud voice come from downstairs.

"-But what if I dont want him to come with us!?"

Lafayette, for sure.

I sighed an rolled over to my side, facing an empty bed. They didnt know that I was awake yet.

I heard stomps from outside the room getting louder. I shut my eyes tight and curled into a tigheter ball. The stomps were resurfacing memories that were best left buried. I felt my breathing quicken but I couldnt let panic take me over.

I heard the door open forcefully and slam shut. I started to shake. This was it. I shouldnt have stayed here for too long. I should have gotten up and done some work. Cleaned the house or something. Now I was going to pay.

I kept my eues shut tight as I braced for a hit. Instead, I felt a few prods in my shoulder.

Shaking, I slowly looked up from the blankets and was face to face with Lafayette.

"C'mon, you're coming with me and some of my other friends," he mumbled unhappily and got up.

I nodded and threw off the blankets. I walked over to my bad of stuff and pulled out my other set of clothes. I only had two.

I walked over to the bathroom and closed the door, making sure to lock it. I scanned myself for a few seconds. My hair was a mess, I had dark bags under my eyes, and a frown seemed to be plastered onto my face. I looked older than my actual age.

I stripped and put my other clothes on. I washed my face and fixed my hair. I looked...presentable.

I walked out of the bathroom and saw that Lafayette was dressed and ready to go. He was impatiently tapping his foot and sitting on his bed.

"Let's go! We dont have all day!" He hissed at me quietly. I assumed it was so that Martha or George couldnt hear.

I followed him downstairs and out the door. This was going to be a long day.

~time skip~

My foster brother ran up to the ice cream parlour, leaving me behind. I saw him tackle a guy with a hug. I looked at the people here. These were the people in the pictures I was looking at last night.

As I approached the group, I held back a bit. I wasnt sure if i should say Hi to them or not.

I saw a freckled guy look at me and tap Lafayette on the shoulder. He leaned into whisper. I saw my brother look back at me with sneer on his face.

"Alright guys, this is Alex, my foster brother," he said. Everyone said hi and then turned back to whatever they were doing.

Exciting...

~Time skip~

We all filed into the house, I was last. Just by listening, I had learned everyone's names. I saw John and Thomas throw themselves onto the couch, fighting for a good spot. Hercules and Lafayette went over to the kitchen. The rest of them sat in front of the tv.

Martha and George werent home which meant they had the house all to themselves. Fun.

Soon enough, everyone was seated in front of the tv with big bowls of popcorn. They were watchig The Belko Experiment (which is a movie that i REALLY want to watch but have no time to. welp) I was at the back of the room, leaning against the wall. It was supposed to be a suspenseful and bloody movie but I wasnt too interested. I had seen worse.

During the movie, my eyes kept falling on one particular person. Thomas Jefferson.

As I was...uh...observing him, the doorbell rung. Groans came from everyone as Lafayette paused the movie.

"Hey, Alex, can you get the door?" He asked me and slumped back on the couch next to Hercules. I nodded and pushed myself off the wall.

I sighed as put my hands on the doorknob and opened it. When I galnced up to see who it was, a gaspe ecaped from my mouth.

It was my worst nightmare.
