20 in counting

Chapter one

EARLIER TODAY...

"Hey babe" my boy friend Adrien yelled down the hall way at school. I turned and ran into his arms.
I said hey as he kissed the top of my head. He walked a little faster than me, only to turn around, look me in the eyes and say "I've been doing a lot of thinking and it's not you it's me but I think we should break up it's better for us just to be friends and...

That's when I cut him off from talking I responded with a yelling voice saying it really is me I could see by the look in your eyes that you found another girl and you just you like her more. you think she's gonna make you feel better than I ever did. I just I can't believe you after everything we've been through together you would do this to me, especially because our 3 year anniversary was yesterday. I mean what is wrong what did I do? Please wanna know.

"Look Braxton you did nothing and I just I got to go. Sorry Braxton. see you later, I guess. Ummm... bye." He said as tears started stream down my face.

I stood in the middle of the hallway and watched Adrien walk away. My mind went blank I didn't know what to think. The only thing I could think was thank god I get out of school early today. My face was puffy and my eyes were red from crying. I mainly sat in the girls bathroom for the rest of the day. But while I was in there my best friend, Emily came and knocked on the stall door.
" hey, you in there? I heard out what happened and I just thought you could use a little company. how are you holding up." She asked.
I told her I was fine but really deep down inside I knew I wasn't.

Emily had told my brothers about every thing and by the end of the school day the whole school knew.

My brothers and I always walk home together because our house is only about 3 blocks from the school. This time I decide I would stay behind them so that they wouldn't ask any questions on the way home. The walk was quite no one said a word.

NOW...

"Hey Brax, can I borrow 20 bucks." Seth yelled as he knocked on my door.

I share a room with 2 other brothers Axel and Carson. They were already showing sympathy and I couldn't tell if Seth just wanted me to open the door so he could see how I was or if he actually needed 20 bucks.

"Why do you want 20 bucks?" I asked him with tears falling down my face.

He responded with a reassuring voice, "I'm joking I don't need any money I just wanted to check up to see how you were doing."

"I'm fine. I don't need anyone checking on me. It was just a brake up. I mean so what I'm devastated. Just get out." I yelled.

By that time all of my brothers wanted to see what had happened so even more tears fell down my face because of embarrassment.  They all noticed I just wanted to be left alone so the ones that didn't have a bed in the same room as me left.

Around about 5:00 my dad called all of us kids down stares to eat dinner. His girlfriend Chelsey had come to stay with us for the week. Chelsey and my dad have been dating for about 2 years now. Even though Chelsey was here I didn't go down stairs, but all the boys did. My dad yelled a good five times for me to come down stairs so I went about half way down the stairs and yelled as loud as I could with tears still falling from my eyes "Just leave me alone. And before anyone asks, no I don't want to talk about it. So please just go away." I ran back up the stairs and once I got to my room I slammed the door and threw my self onto my bed. Knowing my dad, Chelsey, and all the boys where right behind me.
"Hey. Babygirl?" My Dad said as he opened my bedroom door.
"Go away" I groaned.
"I know you don't want to talk about Adrien..."he said before I cut him off.
"Don't say his name" I cried with even more tears than before.
"Sorry, babygirl... it will be okay. Guys are just jerks." He told me.
"He wasn't." I said sobbing.
"Well we will all be down stairs if you want to come join us." My Dad said with hope.
As for me I said nothing. I know I should go go down stairs but I don't want to. So I put on a happy face And was the good child that I am and went down stairs.
"Well hello princess" Axel said as I entered the dining-room.
"Shut up or I will shut you up." I yelled.
"Axel be nice. Braxton you too." My Dad said trying to brake it up.
"Ya Braxton, be nice." Axel said with a smirk.
"Axel I swear to god." I yelled. As we both started walking over to each other.
Before we got to each other my dad stood up and interfered.
"Axel over there, Braxton there." My Dad yelled at us both.
Axel and I sat across from each other so we kicked one another under the table. So to be the best sister that I am I stood up, looked at Axel with a grin and said, "Dad, Axel keeps kicking me under the table and it really hurts."
"Axel go upstairs and get your phone. I'm taking it for a week." My Dad said and by then you could tell he had enough.
Axel went upstairs and got his phone to our dad. I didn't feel bad either.
"Kids after dinner I want all of you to go into the living room for a family meeting." my dad said as all of my brothers acted like pigs to see who could eat there dinner the fastest.
I could hardly eat so I asked my dad if I could just go sit in the living room and wait. So I did. It was only like 5 minutes later that everyone started to pile into the living room.
My dad and Chelsey came walking out of the kitchen and Chelsey said "we have some exiting news."
Right after Chelsey spoke my dad came right out and said...
