Stepping Stones

Sneaking Out

I slam my door and lock it, in fear that Tyler will beat me to a pulp, or my brothers will suddenly become ones that care.

Tyler was right they haven't  been here the past, 3 years, never-mind the last 8 months.
Ergh why does this always happen to me.

I've basically only known my brothers two days and they're suddenly acting like nothing has ever been parted. But why did they do that in the first place.

Why would they just leave, they just talked to me less and less over the years. What did I do?

What if they do it again? What if Tyler tells his friends about my secrets?

Just push the thoughts away Skyler. Push them away.

I looked up and saw a picture of when I was 8. I was wearing just panties, running away from my brothers, I remember this day like it was yesterday.

I went downstairs to get one of my brothers to run my bath, I didn't want to get dressed again though, so I ran downstairs in just my panties. It was 7pm I normally have a bath at 6:30. It wasn't my fault but I'm not tired I'm a big girl. I ran downstairs laughing because it was past my bedtime, I'm being so naughty.
I ran into the living room where all my brothers were sat. It's not fair, I'm only two years younger then Lukey and Noah. Why can't I stay up.
"Hey little missy, what are you doing up?" My biggest brother Zach said standing up.
"I haven't had a bath, but I don't wanna go to bed I'm not tried I'm a big girl" I said putting my hands on my hips.
"Oh really?" James said also standing up. "Because all the big girls I know have a bath and get a good night sleep"
"Well not this one" I said crossing my arms.
"Well then the tickle monster is going to have to get you" Maxy shouted. Running towards me,I  squealed and ran.

I looked behind me and I had all my brothers running at me. *snap*
"AHHHHHH" I screamed as I went in and out the rooms and corridors.

Suddenly I feel hands on my waist and I'm thrown in the air like a trophy. I giggle as I get taken back to my pink room and thrown on the bed, I get tickled non stop for AT LEAST 5 HOURS. By now it was 7:30 and I still wanna stay up though.
"Come on baby let's get you to bath and bed" Zach said.
"No!" I shouted. "I don't wanna go to bed."

"Hey, hey, hey we've had our fun you gotta go to bed and bath princess" JJ said.
"No!" I shouted stamping my foot.

"Hey, Skyler, we do not stomp our feet when something doesn't go our way! listen to Jason and Zach. Now say sorry to everyone for being rude to them" dean said sternly and crouching down to my level. 
"It's not fair, I don't wanna go to bed" I cried, tears dripping down my cheeks. I turned to my big brothers "I'm sorry!", I'm tired but I still don't want to go to bed.

"Hey honey bee it's ok" Ty ty said using my nickname and picking me up. "Who do you want to do bath time with?"
"I don't know ty ty!!" I wailed.
"Honey bee, don't cry.How about dean and James do it? Yeah?"
"Ok" I sniffled

The bath had already been run and Tyler passed me to James.
I undressed and James lifted me into the warm water, it was making me sleepy, Dean was shampooing my hair and I was falling asleep.
"5 more minutes princess" James said pouring water over my head shielding my eyes.

I got some bubbles and clapped them together enjoying all the little bubble clumps floating down. I heard them chuckling at me.

"Come on bug, lets get you to bed." Dean said getting my fluffy duck towel.

James helped me into my owl onsie. While dean brushed my hair.

They tucked me me in and kissed my forehead. The rest of my brothers came in and said good night. And I was out like a light.
