(A/N): Picture of the boys' house on the side!

The flight here was such a disaster! I didn’t want to get up to pee because the man looked like a perv, and I was worried he would try something so I had to sit there and let my bladder explode, then the dude falls asleep on me! He tried to start a conversation with me about god knows what but I’m just gonna stop complaining and be grateful that I got here safely. Once I got my luggage, I whipped out my phone and dialed Siva’s number. Oh! He’s my cousin by the way! The phone rang about 3 times before he picked it up.

Siva: “Hello?”

Me: “Hey Seev! It’s Krystal!”

Siva: “Hey Krystal! Long time no talk!”

Me: “I know! Well… Um I was calling because… I’m here in London…”

Siva: “Really?! For how long?”

Me: “Actually, my flight just landed!”

Siva: “Do you have anywhere to stay?”

Me: “No bu-“

Siva: “Stay there and I’ll come and get you! You can stay with us!”

Well… That went better than I expected. Wait… Us?!

Me: “Siva, who’s-“

I got cut off because he had already hung up the phone. I sat there nervously waiting for him to come, thinking about who else I’d be staying with. I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around to Siva and a very good looking boy. Did he speed here?! I looked at the boy who had a perfect side fringe swept across his face and beautiful green eyes… Dayum! No Krystal you don’t even know him gosh! “SIVA!!” I shouted jumping onto him. People were staring but IDGAF pshhh. He hugged me back tightly. “Oh my gosh the last time I saw you, you were like two! You’ve grown!” He chuckled. “I have!” I laughed. The boy standing with Siva cleared his throat. Oops, forgot he was there! “Ermm Krystal, this is Nathan. Nathan this is my cousin Krystal.” He said awkwardly. I gave him a smile “Hiya Nathan!” I held out my hand to shake it. He took it, but unexpectedly pulled me into a hug. Wow. He smelled good! Okay creepy but it’s the truth! “Nice to meet you Krystal. He smiled.” Wow. That smile, his voice… Oh come on! You just met him! What a creeper I am!

We finally arrived to the flat. It was pretty big! Siva and Nathan helped me with my bags leaving me feeling bad because I was carrying nothing. “GUYS WE’RE HOME!” Siva shouted as he walked in. Just then, 3 fit lads came walking in. “Oi! Who’s this now?” A guy with dark spikey hair said while eyeing me. Creepo. “Lay off Tom! She’s too young for you!” Siva chuckled. How old were these guys anyway? “Yeah Tom lay off!” The bald guy started to laugh. The dark spikey haired guy who was obviously Tom just pouted. I couldn’t help but smile. These guys are cool. “Anyway, guys this is my cousin Krystal. She’ll be staying with us for a little while.” Siva said. “Nice to meet you Krystal! I’m Jay!” The curly haired one said. N’aw he’s adorable! “I’m Max!” The bald one said “And I’m Tom!” Yeah I pretty much know who he is now. “So what brings you to London?” Nathan asked, fiddling with his phone. I hesitated not really wanting to say the real reason why. “Ermm just paying a visit that’s all!” I smiled. That was a good enough excuse. Also, Siva doesn’t know about my brother or my father. The only thing he knows is about my mother passing away.

“C’mon I’ll show you up to your room!” Siva smiled. “Okay.” I smiled back, following him up the stairs and around corners with my bags. “And here we are madam, your room!” He chuckled. “Why thank you kind sir.” I said as I laughed. I missed Siva so much. I walked towards the bed and started to unpack. Siva sat on the bed while twirling his thumbs. “What’s wrong Seev?” “Krystal, why are you really here?” He asked. Crap! How did he know I was lying? Well, I wasn't completely lying, but still! “Ermm…” I sighed and sat down beside him. “Well when mum passed away, obviously it was just me, Adam and dad. Unfortunately, dad gave up on us and walked out. Adam and I were fine, until he started drinking. He stopped once he got a girlfriend. She was too sweet! But a couple of years had passed and he caught her cheating on him. He went into such a dark depression, that he drank more than what he used to. So he would take all of his anger out on me. He hit me, called me names…” I paused. “He-he’s tried to kill me Seev!” By this point tears were streaming down my face. He pulled me into a tight hug and I could tell he was slightly crying. “That’s it. You’re not going back there. You’re living here, with us. You’ll be safe here.” He said, stroking my hair while I was crying into his chest. Honestly, Siva is like a second brother to me. Scratch that. The brother I have doesn’t even deserve to be called a brother so Siva is pretty much like a brother. I pulled out of the hug before responding to him. “I don’t know Seev. Are you sure? I feel like I’m invading…” “Krystal, you are NOT invading! And I’m welcoming you here! You’ll love it here I promise.” He said as he kissed my forehead. “Thank you so much Siva. What would I do without you?” I smiled. “You wouldn’t be here now would you?” He chuckled before leaving me to unpack.

I rolled around and stretched in bed as I fluttered my eyes open. I don’t even remember going to sleep! Oh well, it was a nice nap. I walked downstairs to find everyone sitting in the living room just chatting away. “Ah the sleeping beauty is awake!” Max said. I just chuckled and sat beside Jay on the couch. “So how was the nap?” Jay asked. “It was amazing, thank you.” I giggled. “Well I say we all go out tonight!” Tom said, getting up. “I agree!” Said Jay “Same here!” Max Siva and Nathan said in unison. “Are you going to come Krystal?” Nathan asked “Nah, I can’t. Not legal yet.” I pouted “But don’t let me hold you guys back you can go!” “Are you sure?” Siva asked. “Positive.” I smiled. “Alright boys! Off we go then!” Jay cooed. I laughed as they all walked out the door marching like soldiers. Siva’s right. I am going to love it here. Well, for now at least.
