I woke up and literally rolled out of bed.
"Shit" I winced grabbing my elbow. I ran my hand through my hair mad got ready.

My door swung open as I applied lip gloss to my lower lip

My door swung open as I applied lip gloss to my lower lip. Brooklyn stood there with a worried look on her face. I cocked my eyebrow as she began to talk.
"What should I wear?" She's asked as I examined the black outfit in her hand.
"That one" I said points to her left hand. It was a white crop top with washed jeans.

She ran back to her room and brought her suitcases to mine. We sat on our phones for bit until our dad yelled for us to come down. My face got hot with anger. I grabbed my suitcases and Brooklyn did the same.
"Alright that's 4,000" the man said counting out cash and giving to my dad.

I clenched my suitcase handle. The fact that he cared about money more than us makes me hella mad.

"Halia?" Brooklyn said taping my arm.

I guess I zoned out again. She pointed to the door so we walked out. A buff man took our suitcases and put them up. Brooklyn and I got into the limo with the two boys. I sat away from everyone so did the boy with no emotion. Brooklyn sat next to the other boy and started flirting. He told her his name was Dylan and they began getting all lovey dovey.
"Hey Brooklyn did you make sure to grab your diarrhea medicine?" I smirked at her.
"Halia!" She scowled at me.

I laughed as her and Dylan's face went red. The other guy still said nothing. He didn't even smile at my joke. It's fine I guess.

We pulled into a huge mansion much bigger than our old one.

Brooklyn's eyes widened in awe but I kept a straight face

Brooklyn's eyes widened in awe but I kept a straight face. We all piled out of the limo and went inside. Brooklyn looked around like we were in heaven. God she's making herself look so soft. Wait. I sounded a lot like my dad. Gross.
"Alright payton why don't you show Halia her room?" Dylan said smiling at me.

Payton that's hot. Dylan was much nicer than his brother. Payton just rolled his eyes and headed up stairs. I followed behind him. He opened up a random door to reveal my room. It was nice. He walked down the hall and went into a room. I sighed and started unpacking.
"Dinner time." I heard someone say form behind me.

I turn to see payton surprisingly.

"So he speaks?" I said getting up.

He rolled his eyes and walked out. Jeez moody. I thought following him to the table. Dylan and Brooklyn sat beside each other. I wondered if I should sit next to Payton. I decided to so I sat beside him but kept my distance. I didn't eat instead I just stared at my napkin. It was folded up all fancy. I just looked at the white fabric until Brooklyn said something.
"Earth to Halia?" She said in an annoying tone.
"What." I said looking up at her.
"Why aren't you eating?" She said worried.
"Because I don't want too." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Well you should." She said glaring at me.

Dylan looked amused as we bickered. Payton has no emotion per usual.
"Your not my mo- I began to say. I stopped myself as a lump grew in my throat. I shot out of the chair and up to my room. My cheeks started burning as I slammed my door.

I shut the bathroom door and sat on the floor. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down but I kept getting flashbacks.

"Adam please!" My mom said from the floor. She begged for her life with tears streaming down her face. I was standing in the middle of the living room.

"Your too weak. I could never let my children be raised by you!" He said cocking back a pistol. My dad knew I was behind him but he don't care. I stood frozen in fear. A loud bang rang through my ears as I saw my mother's body fall limp. I was only 11.
*end of flashback*
My hands were shaking and tears wouldn't stop coming. I tilted my head onto the wall. My bottom lip trembled as I squeezed my eyes shut. I hoped that would stop the tears but it didn't. I heard footsteps so I rushed over to the sink. My eyes were red and puffy. My lips we're swollen and my hands kept shaking every now and then. It's whatever.

I heard a knock on the bathroom door. I walked over and took a deep breath before opening it. To my surprise it was Payton. And he actually had a confused look on his face.
"What." I said staring at my feet.
"They said I should check on you." He said.
"Well I'm fine." I said not making eye contact with him.

He lifted my chin up to meet his beautiful eyes. Just his touch sent shivers down my spine. He examined my face a little. Even though he wasn't making eye contact I still got lost in his eyes.
"Why were you crying" he said letting his hand fall to his side.
"I- I wasn't crying." I said as tears formed in my eyes. Great. Cry in front  of the whole house Halia. I messed with the rings on my finger.

"Come here" he said grabbing my waist.

My breath hitches as he pulled me into his chest. Suddenly all of my worries washed away. I slowly wrapped my arms around his torso. For some reason I felt safe. Like nothing bad would ever happen. He let go just as I did. I looked up and smiled. His expression seemed to soften but he didn't smile.

"Thanks." I said tearing my eyes away from his.

He didn't say anything he just walked out. Well that was weird. He acted like he cared all of the sudden. He even hugged me. I thought laying down.....
