Ross POV:
I take a step back like the rest of my family with my hand over my mouth.
" Surprise!" My mom yells from behind. I take my hand off my mouth and hug my mom tightly. Then my siblings did the same.
" I can't believe you got us new instruments!" Rydel exclaims running over to her new key bored.
" Wow!" Rocky says with awe looking at his new guitar. " Hey rock, isn't that the guitar you wanted for months?" I asked. " Yes! And I can't believe you got it!" He said getting up and hugging mom.
I run up to my new guitar and pick it up. I put the strap over me and grab a pick. I start to play random cords until I hear Rocky join in. Then Rydel started to play some random keys, riker soon joined in with the bass and Ellington with the drums. It actually didn't sound too bad. I guess it was meant to be.
I look over to my parents and they seem to be enjoying it! My mom locks eyes with my then her smile faded into a frown and looked down at the ground. What was that about?
" Okay, Okay that's enough." My dad saying waving his hands in the air trying to get us to stop. We all stop playing and all of our attention was on our dad. " What's up?" Rocky asked.
I keep looking back and forth between my parents, seeing them frown a few times, and seeing a worried look I'm my moms eyes, I was getting really worried. What were they keeping from us?
Breaking the silence I ask " What is it?" And not comfortable silence, awkward silence. It's never awkward between us. Something must be really wrong.
My dad finally spoke up. " We've been umm...... keeping a secret from you guys and we uh.......don't know how your going to take it."
" Just tell us! We're not going to freak out or anything, Right?" Riker asked.
" Right!" Everybody says. " See, now tell us!"
My dad walked out of the room leaving my mom standing in the middle of the room, all eyes on her.
" Okay, so, ummm. We kinda ummm.... We'll you see the thing is umm....." She was cut short when I yelled, " WHAT!" " we adopted a kid." She said it so fast that I could barely understand, but she said it clearly.
" WHAT!" We all scream at the same time. By the look on my brothers faces the were shocked, like who wouldn't be, but Rydel seemed to be happy.
" Is it a girl?" She asked jumping up and down. My mom nodded her head and she jumped even higher clapping her hands. I was kinda happy for her, I mean, she's been around 4 guys all her life.
But me, I was angry. Why would she get another child? She already have 5+1. We all grew up with each other now were adding a new member?! It doesn't make sense. But yet again, having a new member would be kinda fun. Maybe.
" Ross?" My mom says. I didn't even bother to answer, I just walk out of the room hearing a " When do we get to meet her?" When I was shutting the door. I walk up to my room and slam my door shut. I fall down onto my bed and cover my face with my hands.
This doesn't make any sense to me!
Jordan's POV:
I was sitting in my room writing in my journal when I hear a door slam shut. What was that about? I continue writing in my journal for about 5 minutes when I heard a knock on my door.
" Come in!" I place my journal under neath my pillow and sit crossed legged my bed. The filmier blonde walks into my room and sits on my bed.
" So did you found out what colour you want to paint your room?" Her head travailing all around the room. " Yea. Do you think I could, umm paint it all white then splash paint on it?" I asked. " Of corse! This is your room now you can do what ever you want to it." She gave me a smile then side hugged me.
" So umm... There's something I need to tell you." She said. I can see the guilt glaze in her eyes. I hate when these kinda things happen.
" Okay?"
" You have siblings." My jaw dropped as soon as those words left her mouth. Siblings? Why wouldn't she tell me I had siblings?
I couldn't help but know " How many?"
" We'll I have 5, we'll now six." She passed as she laughed. " My kids have a best friend that's here all the time so, 7 kids." 7 kids? 7 kids! What? Why would she have that many?
She knocked me out of my shocked thoughts when she spoke again. " And your going to be meeting them in like, 5 minutes. We're having a BBQ."
I nod my head and stand up. " Do u have a bathing suit?" She asked me. I walk to my dresser, open up the bottom drawer and bull out a pair of shorts and a shirt.
" You don't have one?" She asked raising her eyebrow.
" No, and I never will. I don't like bikinis." I reply, shutting my bottom drawer with my foot and walking to the door. " Oh, I understand. And what about those things on your wrist?" She said pointing to the band that was around my wrist's.
I thought for a minute on what to say, then I finally came up with an answer. " My grandmother gave them to me before I left so I always where them." I look at her expression to see if she was buying it, and she was.
" I'm so sorry." She says walking over to me and giving me a hug. I relax because I know now that she's not onto me.
If she found out the real reason why I never take them off, I don't know what she would do. Like we just met like 10 hours ago.
She backs out of the hug and walks out of the room. I follow behind her until I find the bathroom. I strip down my clothes and put my swim clothes on. I grab a towel and walk out.
I walk back to my room to put my clothes into my room when I ran into someone. I fell hard against the wall and everything went black.
