“Ryan, come on give it back!!! I was texting Maya!!! Ryan, please give it back!!!” I yelled as I was chasing my older brother. I was texting Maya, my best friend since 6th grade when suddenly was taken out of my hands. I was catching up to him so I jumped and tackled him. I landed on top of my 18 year old brothers back. I was about to grab my phone when I heard someone clear their throat. We looked up to see Aiden and Aaron standing there with their arms crossed over their chest and tapping their foot on the ground impatiently.
“what are you guys doing?” Aaron asked us. Aiden looked at me with an amused look on his face and looked like he was holding in his laughter. I almost started laughing but stopped when I looked at Aarons face. “he took my phone I asked him nicely to give it back but he didnt nd he started running so I chased after him. I kept yelling at him and he just laughed so when he was in my reach I jumped on him and now were here.” I told them.
“Well, Al, we were just coming to get you.” said a smirking Aaron
“Why?” Im so confused its not even funny.
“We will tell you once you get off of our brother.” ok, well, I totally forgot that I was on Ryans back. I got up off of Ryan and the floor and looked at them, waiting for them to tell me why. It was completely silent, if I dont break it now they will never tell me.
“Are you guys going to tell me, or are you guys going to stare at me with identical smirks on your faces?” im not even kidding, they looked alike but Aiden had blue eyes and Aaron had green ones, and their smirks.. dont even get me started.
“Dad's coming home, he needs to talk to you..” wait, did he just...? what!? Now im seriously confused.
“Why is dad coming home? Why does he need to talk to me? Why couldnt you guys tell me instead of dad? What does he have to talk to me about? Wha-”
“Whoa there Al, its not supposed to be 20 questions.” Laughed Aiden but when he saw my glare he shut up real quickly. Funny how a 31 year old could be scared of a 16 year old.
“Are you going to answer my questions?” I asked with a slight attitude
“I have no clue Al, so you dont need to have an attitude with me. He just called me and said that he was coming home because he needs to talk to you. I even asked him why but he wouldnt tell me. Why dont we just go inside and wait for him to come home.” once he said that I kind of regretted having an attitude with my brother. We all walked inside the house and sat on the couch. I went to get my phone out of my back pocket but realized it wasnt there. I looked over at Ryan who was on his phone and glared at him. I guess he noticed me glaring at him because he looked up at me.
“Aww, wittle Awex doesnt have her phone.” he said in a baby voice and started laughing when I jumped out of my seat only to be stopped from getting him by Aiden.
“Ryan, if you dont give her phone back right now I am going to let her go and im not responsible for what she does to you.” he warned Ryan. After he warned him he gave me my phone back, probably from past experiences.
----------------------------
We were all talking, and i mean all of us all my brothers and I, when my dad came in the door.
We all got up to greet him but he just shook his head. He came over and sat down next to me.
“So ya'll are probably wondering why I called and came home, am I correct?” before we could even answer him he continued.
“Do ya'll remember Zavior?” the older boys nodded their head while Ryan, Ross and I shook our heads.
“Alex, you dont remember him?” my dad asked me like I was supposed to remember him. I shook my head.
“well, as most of ya'll know he was Alexs' best friend since she was born until she was 6. He used to live right next door until she was 3 and he had to move to New York. His parents never sold the house because they were planing on coming back whenever they could. The two kept in touch until she was 6 and he was 7. They are coming back for a while and I am going to be home more.” my dad announced. I took a minute to take everything he just told us in. I dont even remember a Zavier.
“when are they coming back?” it came out of my mouth before I could stop it. My dad looked surprised that I asked that before one of the boys did.
“They may be here in the morning, so ya'll arent going to school tomorrow, we need to help them settle in again.” everyone said ok before getting up and going to their rooms while I sat there starring at my dad. I had no clue who Zavier was or what he is going to mean to me. Once I gathered my thoughts I got up looked at my dad said 'welcome home' and walked upstairs to my room. I walked to my bathroom, striped my clothes off and hopped into the shower. If im going to meet this Zavier guys family I need to look at least ok. When I was done in the shower I wrapped a towel around my hair and body. I put my pjs on and took the towel that was in my hair out so I could dry it. After I dried my hair I layed down on my bed and let the darkness consume me.
