We're Home

You're Living With Us!

"Your living with us"

"No I can't I don't want to be a burden"

"You won't be we have an extra room and by the way you talk about music and photography my brother will love you"

"You have another brother??"

"Well technically Wes and I aren't brothers but all three of us are in a band...Emblem3"

"Oh ya I love your music I have a lot on my phone"

"That's the other thing we can take you home in a few days to get clothes and your phone"

"Okay cool but why a few days??"

"We are getting your custody switched"

"Are you serious?!?!?!"

"Yep" he said with a huge smile "You don't deserve that and you are clearly plenty smart plus you have gone on your own for weeks at a time this should be easy"

"Thank you so much!" I said as we pulled in their drive way

We walked inside and Wes yelled upstairs

"Aye yo Keats come down I have someone I want you to meet"

"Oooo yay new people" he squeaked like a little kid causing me to giggle

The boy walking down the stairs was not what I had expected. He had blonder hair than his brother and green eyes where his brother had brown. His hair was fluffier to. His body looked toned but not nearly as toned as Wes's. I honestly found him very attractive.

"Hi I'm Keaton"

"I'm Mallorie" I answered shyly

"Okay so Wes why is she here is she your new girlfriend cause she looks a little young for you but that means perfect for me"

"No you dip-shit. We found her on the beach this morning and she has and interesting story...I'll let her decide if she wants to tell you...anyways she's going to live with us now. WE are switching her custody tomorrow. As in Drew and I..we are leaving you out of this because you two are close to the same age and well we all know where that might lead"

"Wow Wes way to make this hella awkward"

"Your welcome baby bro now show her the house and her room"

"Follow me" he said taking my hand.

We walked upstairs first.

"This is Wes's room on the left and Drew's on the right. The bathroom is at the end he said."

I just nodded and walked down the stairs with him back to the middle level.

"Clearly this is the kitchen...my favorite room. What's ours is yours help yourself to anything. Over here is the living room and off to the side here is the studio."

He pushed open the doors to a huge area with a desk and a editing station. There were also lots of instruments and microphones. I walked in in awe.

"I don't know if your into music or not but if you ever want to use anything just feel free. We lock up our files so you won't have to worry about messing with them on accident." He said scratching the back of his head nervously

"I love music. Editing, Listening, Writing, Making, Playing, All of it!"

"Wow that's amazing"

We headed downstairs next.

"Okay so here's my room. It's right by yours so if you need anything at all don't hesitate to ask."

"Okay thanks"

"Yep and here's what will be your room"

He opened the door and there was a huge bed and a dresser with and walk in closet.

"It's amazing!" I jumped up and down. I went and laid down on the bed. To my surprise Keaton stayed in the room and started to talk.

"So if you don't want to tell me you don't have to but what's your story?" he asked like he was walking on glass

I patted the edge of my bed and he came to sit by me. I sat up and told him the whole story.

"Okay so about 12 years ago my parents pulled me away from my best friend Allie. We were like sisters. Attached at the hip Allie and Mallie. Until my parents moved me from Nebraska to California. Then after that I started spending weeks at a time at our lake house to get away from everybody. I made friends with my neighbors grandson and we were best friends and he was attractive to."

Keats let out a small giggle

"So yesterday my parents show up at the lake house and tell me I have to go home. My mom had to pack everything and my dad had to physically put me in the car but I had to go cause I'm only 16 there was nothing I could do about it. After that all I wanted to do was go home and lock my self in a room until I was 18 and could leave. but they kept doing everything they could to prolong the trip. So eventually I got mad enough and said fuck you guys I'm walking and they dropped me on the corner. At which point I realized I didn't have my phone so I figured when I wasn't home in 4 hours they would come back so I stayed on the corner but they never did so I went to the beach and cried and took some pictures and then went back to thinking and crying until the guys came along and now here we are."

"Wow I'm so sorry"

By now he was holding me in his arms and rocking me back in forth because I was crying again. We stayed that way until I was done.

"So what about school and your friends and your bboooyyyyyfffrrriiiieeennndd" he asked tickling me

I giggled "Well I graduated at 16 with exceptionally high SAT and ACT scores, My friends are either in school at the lake or off to collage so I don't see them much, My boyfriend well he doesn't exist." I finished shyly

"How does someone as sweet and beautiful as you not have a boyfriend?"

"Well I tend to push people away because I don't want to get them in my mess of problems and hurt them...I only told one person other than you guys about all of this"

"Well I'm already in your problems so would you maybe give me a chance?"

"Ummm that was quick but yes I will...I just don't want to hurt you or your brother and his friend"

"You won't hurt us but you have to tell us if anything happens so we can help at least tell me because I want to protect you."

"I promise I will thank you for caring about what happens to me"

"Absolutely anything for my baby girl...buuuut we should probably head up stairs before my brother can give us to much shit for being down here this long..."

"To the upstairs" I jumped off my bed like a superhero however I didn't fly like a superhero I slipped as I jumped and hit my head on the dresser then everything went black.
