Hidden Eyes

Chapter 1

        Living in what I had assumed was a normal family, I could never have guessed what tables were about to turn my everyday life into a future where the next morning isn't certain..

It was fresh summer day, the breeze was blowing from the beach of my family's summer home in the Hamptons. Yes, the one in upstate New York. You're probably also wondering wow your family must have some money. The answer is yes, my father homes a hotel chain and other few business that bring in a good bit of money. Now my mother on the other, that's where all the fun and interesting stuff happens.

She is how to say a "spy" or "badass secret agent," she is very good at her job also. She is always recommended for the hardest missions and everything.

I have an older brother David. He is 24 and plays for the LA Galaxy. It was founded by David Beckham, a family friend. David has short dark brown hair that oddly doesn't need jell to keep it sticking up. He has that athletic build from the years of sports he played, plus he works out some to stay toned when it's not soccer or football season. He has a tattoo of our late grandfather on his left arm and on his right arm he has a sleeve of flowers that makes you think of Hawaii. David is just a younger version as our dad just a little bit skinnier, because our dad is more muscular.

Then there is my twin sister and I Stacey, were both 22 and she is the oldest by 5 minutes. My name is Cody, and I'm also the shortest male in the family and shorter than most females too. My sister is engage to her best friend and also college sweetheart Daniel or also known as Danny. My sister is a model and does a little acting too. She has that long golden blonde hair that we both have and get from our grandmother, with strong features in the face that we get from our mother. You can honestly mistake her for a Victoria Secret model, because she takes care of her body and is the right size to be one.

I have the same color hair as my sister does, except my hair is semi long on top and front but cut short in the sides and back. Were the only ones that you wouldn't think be biological to our mom and dad. It's cause our hair is brighter and the only thing that proves we are is our facial structure cause it's like our mother's. Plus being the shortest guy, makes it interesting when everyone gets together.

Now we have my little siblings, Brandon who is 8 and Abigail or Abby for short who is only 5 who is just adorable! They are spoiled cause they are the youngest out of us and my mom and dad are getting older so they slowed down and a lot of things. Brandon has our dad's dark hair, but has features of both our parents. Abby has mom's dirty blonde hair and if you hold up a photo of our mom at her age next to Abby you would think it's Abby in the photo. She looks just like our mom, which is probably why dad spoils her the most.

As I lean on the balcony that connects to my bedroom with summer sun casting on my body as I tell you a little bit about my family and I till you learn more about us later on. Before you start trying to guess my height, if you know the height of the author of this book. Then you know how tall I am, and that's not very tall for a 22 year old male. Did I just break what they call in the movies, the fourth wall. Yes I did, yes I did haha.

As I watch the ocean rush against the beach, I think about how bless I am to be alive and live the life I live.

"Cody!!!" Abigail hollers from down below.

"Yes Abby?" I smile and look down towards her.

"Can you take me to the beach and play with me?" she pouts with the puppy dog eyes.

As you know its hard to say no to that. "Sure, let me go get ready and I'll be down!" I respond heading into my room.

All I heard was her screaming from joy as I got changed smiling. I grab a towel and my sunglasses putting my flip flops on. As I made my way down stairs, our favorite and long time house keeper Rosa handed me a basket.
