Finally I gave into my heart and slid to the floor covering my face with my hands and quietly crying. Worst timing for my dad to come down that hall becuase he instantly ran to me.

"Y/n! What's wrong! Did you hurt yourself?"

He never thinks I'm ever upset becuase it is just something I choose not to show. Being hurt is what he instantly thinks.

But he wasn't that far off.

I was hurting.

My heart was.

"Y/n please talk to me!" My dad said holding me tightly on the floor. "What is it?"

"Everything just... I can't... I don't know!"
And I really didn't. Everything just felt so weird and wrong I couldn't stay strong anymore.

"Is it mom?" He asked in a low voice knowing that was true.

I just nodded in response and he held me tighter.

"It's okay to miss her Pea! I do too sometimes. Just dry those tears she isn't worth crying over." He simply said wiping my tears and standing. "Go clean yourself up, dinner is ready."

I caught my breath and walked into the bathroom to wipe my face. Everything is going to be fine, it has to be.

As I stepped into the dining room, I noticed there were four table settings, for the three of us.

"Everything okay now Pea?" My dad asked as he came in with the pot of spaghetti.

"Yeah I'm fine." I answered forcing a smile.

The front door was opened... but May was still standing in the kitchen.

"Ma I'm home!" A deep voice said from the front room as I heard a bag hit the floor.

"Perfect timing bud dinner is ready!" May said as she came to the table with a plate of garlic bread.

This must be my new brother.

Great.

"Y/n could you grab the silverware from the kitchen counter please?" May asked me and of course I said yes.

I walked in looking for the silverware which couldn't be found. When I began searching through drawers I felt a hand on my low back.

"Looking for these?"

The four knives and forks were in the boys large hand right in front of my face.

"Yeah thank youuu" ... woah. The second I saw him my heart jumped.

"I'll just take them in then." He simply laughed and patted my back before walking into the dining room flashing a boxy smile over his shoulder.

What the fuck! I'm supposed to live in the same house with THAT?!
