The change that made me strong. || ON HOLD

Chapter 4

When I entered the living room I saw all of my brothers sitting in the couch smiling.
I looked around and so a whiteboard with rules on it.

1. You're not allowed to date any guy.
2. You have to listen to us and what we say.
3. You are grounded.
4. You need to get better grades in school.
5. You wear what we tell you.
6. You change your attitude immediately.
7. You don't lie.

I kind of laughed when I read them till the end and then look to them.
When I saw their faces my laugh stopped.
"These rules are a joke, aren't they?" I asked.
"No, they're not."
"You can't be serious about that. These rules are ridiculous." I responded shocked.
"You had your chance to tell it is on your own but you didn't instead you snapped and had an unacceptable attitude," Leo said.
*The others are nodding*
"And now because you are grounded and have to do all we say give me your phone," Aiden said satisfied.
I hesitated for a second but gave in and gave them my phone.
I hate them!!!!!
"And now go upstairs and do your homework," Max demanded
"Urgh, I hate you !!!" I yelled and then went in my room but not without closing the door with a loud noise.

I sat on my bed for a while and then started to actually do some homework.
I finished English and Biology but had to stop by math because I just didn't understand it.
I thought about going downstairs and ask my brothers because they're all good in school but I wasn't sure if that's such a great idea.
I tried to solve the first tasks the last time but then decided to go to my brothers.
I found them all playing in the gaming room and changed immediately my opinion.
I was about to turn around when someone said my name. It was Dylan.
"What do you want Hailey?"
"Uhm nothing I just go back in my room," I said quickly.
"No no no your lying and this time it's against the rules so you have either a good reason or you get the punishment you deserve," Leo said smirking.
"And what's this in your hand?" I heard Max asking.
"Uhh well, I ... I came to you ... because I was about to do my homework and then stopped because I didn't understand math. And I thought one of you could maybe-" I took a deep breath and tried to hide that I'm ashamed.
" help me."
All four boys looked at me kind of shocked but were then willing to help me.
Max went back into my room, I followed him and then he started to explain it all to me.
It took me an hour to understand it but at least I can say now that I can do this.
I thanked him. He smiled at me and went out of my room.

At around 7 pm Dylan called me for dinner.
When I came into the kitchen I saw all of them sitting at the table.
"Do you want Pizza, Hail?" Leo asked.
"No thanks, I'm going to make myself a salad," I respond.
The boys look confused but allowed it.
When we all set at the table the boys started to eat and talk.
I wasn't really hungry and only pretend to eat.
After half an hour they had eaten the whole pizzas and looked to me.
I just sat on my chair trying to eat something even I don't want to.
"Why haven't you eaten your salad?" Aiden asked.
"I don't feel well," I answered.
" You don't feel well?" He repeated what I said and looked like he wouldn't believe me.
"Yeah. I know you guys probably think now that I'm lying but I promise I'm not. I feel really sick." Not even 40 seconds after I told them that I ran to the toilet and threw up.
This was so disgusting.
My brothers came into the bathroom after me and helped me.
Without a reason, I started to cry and Leo hugged me. I cried even more than and fell asleep.
He must have carried me to my bedroom because that's where I woke up later.
It was still dark outside so I looked confused on my clock.
I groaned when I realized that it was only 3:27 am.
I lied back in my back and just wished that I had my phone bag. I really wanted to text my best friends or watch Netflix now but thanks to my stupid overprotective brothers I wasn't able to do any of these things.
To my luck, I was tired enough to fall back to sleep.

Hey guys, sorry that this is such a short chapter but currently so many things are happening in my life so it's hard to find time to write further.
But anyways I hope you have beautiful holidays.
