Catch me

Welcome

My boots hit the gravel the pebbles smooshing together underneath them. I stand tall shutting the car door with a small bang. I wait for my social worker to get out of the car but after about three minutes of waiting I realized he wasn't getting out. Was he really gonna make me go in alone? He's not even gonna make sure their nice people? How rude! I huff at him slowly making my way up the log driveway. He could've at least dropped me off further up I take it back I don't like him anymore. Maybe it's not too late I mean no one's paying attention hell I could just take off into those woods. I could see peoples shadows through the curtains on the big windows. Looking back at the small black car I see him still on his phone. Gosh im the teenager but im on my phone less then him. The house if you could call it that had to be at least three or four stories tall. It was a light cream color the curtain maybe a few shades lighter. The door was big and white which was quite intimidating.  I take a few slow steps closer to the woods and away from the doors. I could easily get lost in them which doesn't sound so bad. The fresh air jumping through the trees. I had got lost in my own thoughts receiving a don't even think about it look from the man in the car. Damn I took to long. I make my way to the door before i lose my momentum. I bunch up my small fist giving a few gentle knocks. I'm just praying this isn't real that no one will open that door. The door flies open fast causing wind to fly in my face as I stumble a few paces back. There was a women about average height in front of me. Her expression was pure shock which made me feel quite nervous. Was I not what she was expecting? She had very pretty long brown hair her eyes a matching hazel. Freckles lined her face and they popped out more on her pale skin. We've been standing here for a good while is she gonna move or? She pretty much lunges at me with open arms causing me to run back from reflex. I only just got here and people are already attacking me. I think about taking off but the small tears in her eyes make me remain still and compose my racing heart. "I'm sorry I guess i just got carried away." Her voice was small as if I would break. The small but warming smile gives me a small amount of courage to step into her home as she moves over. The door closes with a small click putting me in perspective of my situation. To my right was a living room about the size of the house I used to live in. In front of me looked like small bar/kitchen area. To my left was a set of stairs probably leading up to the rooms and other stories. There was from what I could see about five people in the living area all buff and tall compared to me. On the stairs were two boys that looked about eighteen. They had matching bright golden hair and blue eyes. With their matching football bodies and faces i could conclude they were twins. Behind them was a man who looked in his late thirties probably their father sense he also had matching hair he was only a little buffer. Settling my eyes back in front of me there was three men two behind the counter and one sitting on a bar stool that was to small for him. He was most likely the biggest of the bunch but i couldn't tell as he was sitting down. He was looking right back at me tons of emotions swirling in his hazel eyes almost like they were on fire. They complimented his caramel skin well. I couldn't tell what nationality could have possibly gave him that color skin. I avert my eyes from his piercing gaze looking at the two men standing behind him. They gave kind smiles there eyes showing sympathy for my pity stare. They were all looking at me everyone of them. All of my nerves were on edge ready to bolt at anytime. None of them were saying anything leaving an awkward feel in the air. I'm just silently hoping for some higher force to come and get me out of this situation. The two boys opon the stairs jump down the last three steps waving way to fast for a normal human. How much energy do these boys have. "Hi! I'm Bryton and this is Jackson" the one on the left said. To a normal human it would be impossible to tell these two apart but Bryton looked to be about a few centimeters taller and his hair was a tad bit brighter while Jacksons had a more dirtier blond hue to it. I tentatively raise my hand as to not do anything wrong i wave slowly and for not nearly as long and let my arm drop back down to my side. Everyone that was currently in the living area was watching this all play out like a personal tv show. The woman that had let me in offered to take my bag and have it put in my room. Not really wanting to give them my only belongings I reluctantly handed her the old and beat up bag not wanting to be rude. She took it slowly eyeing the man who was behind the twins. I could tell it was a look of pity. I hated that I don't need pity nor more then what was in that bag. "Boys could you put this in his room." She handed them the bag and they quickly ran up the stairs with it. Now I at least know my room was either in the third or second level. Not having anything to cling onto I just kinda held onto my arms weirdly. "Well I think introductions are in order." The lady clasped her hands together looking over the room. She started in the living area which still held about five people. She pointed to the couple on the couch which I now know are Chloe and Daniel. Chloe would be the smallest in the room if it wasn't for me but she still looks like she stood at an impressive 5'5. She was a very pretty girl and was probably around my age if not older. Her long blond hair was pulled into a ponytail which showed off her slender shoulders which were littered with freckles. Standing next to her with an arm slacked around her waist was Daniel who stood at about 5'9 only about four inches taller then Chloe. He seemed intimidating but standing next to Chloe looked more like a giant teddy. There was another female who looked to be in her twenties named Abigail. She had a softer tone compared to everyone else her red hair standing out. Her green eyes were giving me a polite stare as she gave a curt nod. Then there was Adam and Curt they seemed to be playing video games but had politely paused them giving me a hello. They were sitting down but i could tell Adam was the taller one with his short brown hair. Curt also had brown hair that seemed a bit lighter then his skin tone. She seemed to completely skip over the people at the bar stools and onto herself. I wasn't stupid I knew this person had to be my birth mom from the way she opened the door. The look she had in her eyes just radiated mom energy. Her name was Kate and my suspicions were right as she introduced herself as my birth mom. She then pointed to what I concluded was her husband or my birth dad. He almost looked more emotional than Kate as he said he was Ben. Ah that must mean the two brothers that ran upstairs were my biological brothers. The guy from earlier stood up from his barstool towering over the others. "Hello. It's nice to meet you I'm Xavier Burns." He talked with pride and his stance was strong. His voice came out smoothly. I felt the need to reply as he gave off a feeling of power. I did not want to leave this man without a response as to not make him angry but I also refuse to talk. I gave a small but noticeable nod in his direction. The two men behind him had disappeared as I never got their names. Everyone had seemed to be still when our whole ordeal was going on. He must be important or something as no one dared speak up when he was done talking. Saving the day Bryton had stumbled down the stairs letting his mom know my bag was put in my room. "Well why don't we take you to your room and get you settled." Bryton hurried back up the stairs as the others made room for me to go up. I took slow steps and followed the over energetic boy to another set of stairs. We had proceeded to walk up them to another hallway with less rooms. We went all the way down to the last to doors. He showed me mine which was on the right side of the hall. I saw my bag which looked microscopic on the big bed it had been laid on. My room was huge and from seeing to other doors had its own bathroom and closet. "You can unpacked and come down when your ready. Well make sure to call you down for dinner." And with that Bryton had left probably to go find his twin. That left me with Kate and who I had just noticed following us Xavier. I pulled open the bag taking out the contents. There was about three shirts and three pairs of pants. There was my phone a charger and my toiletries. Lastly I had a small pink bunny that I can't seem to remember where I got it from. A gasp shook me in the core I look over to the door. I don't get what triggered it but Kate had a shocked look on her face making me freeze. What had i done?
