The Harding family. To most people it was just a normal family, but they don't know the inside. Their mother is a drug addict. Their father is in jail for murder. There are 4 brothers and two sisters. Does that sound like a normal family? Follow Em...
The next day I woke up ready to mess with Chad. Brody was still asleep and I didn't feel like waking him up so I just laid there thinking about what I was going. The more I thought about it the less I wanted to do it. Sure he hurt me, but it was years ago.
"Why aren't you up?" Brody questioned as he opened his eyes.
"I didn't want to wake you up." I truthfully answered. He nodded before yawning. I climbed out of bed before going to take a shower. Once I showered I got dressed in my lazy day outfit and did my lazy day hair.

I looked in the mirror and saw that I had a black eye. I covered it before I walked down the stairs going into the kitchen. Blake was standing in front of the stove making whatever he usually made and I sighed as I looked at him. He looked so happy and I felt bad that I was going to ruin it.
"Morning Emma." He cheerfully greeted.
"Morning." I muttered. I put my head on the table and sighed.
"What's wrong?" He asked. I had already done. I already ruined his mood and it was only the beginning of the day.
"Nothing. I'm tired." I lied. He bought it and turned around before he set a plate of pancakes in front of me.
"Good morning people." Emily cheered sliding down the banister.
"Morning Ly." Blake greeted back. I waved before cutting off a peace of my pancake.
"What's wrong with her?" She questioned taking the seat next to me.
"She said that she's tired." Blake answered putting a plate in front of her.
"Kids I forgot to tell you, but you all have a doctors appointment today so you won't be going to school." Ethan said as he walked into the kitchen. I sighed a sigh of relief before closing my eyes. Just thinking about Chad and the unknown person was giving me a headache. "Emma what's wrong?"
"I'm tired and I have a headache." I answered.
"Why didn't you tell me that when I asked earlier or when Emily asked you?" Blake asked waving his spatula around. I shrugged before getting up and walking into the bathroom.
Brody had already gone to school seeing as he didn't have a doctors appointment. I opened the cabinet and looked at the bottle of Advil. It was right next to the medicine that my mom had when she had just stared her downward spiral. She was supposed to take them when she felt sad. I wasn't thinking but I knew that I felt sad so I took an Advil and one of her pills before walking back into the kitchen where everybody was.
"Is everybody ready?" Ethan questioned. We all nodded and we headed towards the van that we took only when we all went out at once. Because I was the smallest I always sat in the back. That day I didn't care, because I didn't want to look or talk to anybody. The bad thing was that Emily had to sit in the back as well so she tried to talk to me through out the whole ride.
When we got there Ethan signed all of us in and we sat down as we waited to be called. Even though Emily and I were girls my brothers made a big deal about having to be in the room and having the doctors do everybody's inspections in the same room.
"The Harding family." A nurse said. We followed her through many passages before she stopped and opened the door. The room was pretty big considering where it was. "I'm going to be starting with the oldest and then the doctor should come in." Ethan sat in the table and she started. By the time she was done with all of us the doctor walked in and sat down on her chair.
"Okay Hardings. I know that the brothers want to be in her with their sisters but I need you to go out for a second. I will call you back when we are done with our talk." The looked hesitant but they walked out. "Great now that they're gone I can start with the questions. (I'm not going to go through the questions sorry.) "Okay you're brothers can come back in." She finished and as they started leaving I started talking.
"I actually have a personal question." I spoke up. My brothers and twin looked surprised. I usually hated talking to doctors.
"What's bothering you?" She questioned.
"I'm not exactly sure. I don't feel like my self. I feel mad and angry one minute and then the next I feel..." I kind of stopped at the end.
"Depressed?" The doctor finished. I nodded and she sighed. "Have you talked to your sibling about it?" I shook my head and she sighed. "I want you to talk to them and then at our next check up in 6 weeks we can talk. Now I actually have another question for you. Where did you get the bruise on your rib?"
"I fell on the stairs yesterday." I lied. She nodded before I left. My siblings were waiting in the car whispering amongst themselves. "Are you guys seriously trying to figure out what I was talking to her about?" I questioned scaring them.
"Is something wrong?" Mason asked as I climbed in.
I considered the doctors suggestion and nodded. "I don't feel like talking about it right now. Can we just go home?" Ethan looked in the mirror at me and I could see the frown and I thought that he was going to say something, but he sighed before driving home.
I am so so sorry that it took that long for me to update. I know that it shouldn't have, but I didn't know what to do with the chapter. Also I'm not a doctor so I'm sorry if I got something wrong with they were at the doctors office. Hope you enjoy my longest chapter ever!
