It was a normal day, but as long as I think about it. I don't remember what exactly happened. Not that I should be able to remember plainly. But they are days that I just think about it. 
A child crying, a woman screaming in pain. A sigh of relief as nurses cheer as they congratulate the birth of a child. A daughter. Me. 

"Well done Ma'am, your daughter is healthy. What is her name?" The nurse asks a smile covering her face as she gave the babe to its mother. She was tired and exhausted from giving birth to me. From what I've heard from Father it took a whole day for me to finally come into the world; my other siblings went straight into labor, it was water broke, hospital rush, and straight into the delivery room, 5 minutes later, they were born! I was a pain for my mother. Her second daughter. 

"she's... Called Aileene. Aileene Mai Shea" Yrsa, the mother, Says "The second daughter of the Shea family." 

Yes, it's me. Aileene Mai Shea, Born on 14 April 2002, healthy to a wealthy family. Little did I know, that this wealthy life would not be that easy.

17 years later, in Shea Family House.

"Aileene! Ailey!!!!" A small girl screamed, "Guess what?!?!" I looked at my door as it burst open wide, in walks my sister. This is Naomi, the fifth child. 

"What?" I ask, interest picking at me.  "Did something happen at school?" I added, with a slightly worried tone, that we did just start at a new school. I didn't want any of my sisters or brother to have trouble. 

"Yes, no, I don't know... I... I think I have a crush on someone" She says, my brow perked up. Already?

"Naomi, you're funny, you know! Already? Who is he?" I ask, this time interested. It might just be mere infatuation and the next day might be gone. Who knows. 

"He's called Adrien" The girl laughs a little, and I laugh along too "Do you only like him because he's called Adrian and that your second name is Adria?" I chuckle.

"Nooo, not really. He's handsome though !" Naomi refutes "Don't you have any crushes? I mean, you're 17 years old, don't you have anyone?" 

I thought for a little while, putting my index finger on my chin while my eyes were slightly lookup. I look back down at Naomi and laugh "I don't have a crush on anyone. And even if I did, I can't be with them... In one year, I'll have to marry someone I don't know. So, I can't find love, nor do I want to break anyone's heart. It's at best for me to remain celibate till Mother and Father find a suitor for myself" I Say trying to explain. "Anyway! What's your crush's surname?" I ask curiously. I was just wondering if I may know the family or not. 

"It's Adrien Xan Shui," the girl Says proudly, and I shake my head. Looking back into my book before I sigh "Shui? That's the surname of Leia's fiancé, and Father's Bestfriend. how come you've not noticed"

"Is it?" Naomi asks, clueless. "What's Leia's fiance's name again?" 

"Huh-uh" I mumbled, "Connor if I recall correctly."

"Oh! Yeah!! I remember now! But I don't care. " She says with a grimace, with a tight lip I shake my head "you should"

"but Archie is dating Sinead! Why should I care??" she pouted

"because it is merely a fling, they are but children still. It isn't the same as a relationship you would have at my age or Leia's age." I explained, she pouted heavily and rushed out of my room. 

I laugh and sigh, shaking my head once more before I dive back into my book.
