Memory to many is a privilege, one that Eve Ricci does not possess. At just age 7 she woke up all alone in a hospital only to be thrown days later into the unforgiving and cruel foster system. Watch Eve battle her way through when at age 14 she find...
I awoke to Julie shaking my shoulder and calling out my name. I then waited for everyone to get off of the plane before she escorted me off and helped me to collect my luggage. We walked in silence and she took me to a costa that was near the exit of the airport and said goodbye and I thanked her.
By now the tiredness was setting in even though I had slept most of the flight the time change and anxiety of finally meeting my family was getting to me. I was beginning to get worried as Julie had told me that one of my brothers would meet me at the costa but there was no sign of anyone who I could think would be possibly related to me. Just as I'm really starting to panic in walks a tall man at about 6ft 2 with me being 5ft 4 and he starts to head towards me. "Hi you must be Eve." I look up to see the man no standing in front of me with a small smile on his face. "Yeah that's me and you are," he chuckles slightly before replying "I'm Ace one of your older brothers." I could see it now we both had the same green eyes and the same brown hair the only difference was that he was a giant and I was of average size. "This way then to the car and then home," he said before turning around and beginning to walk off. I started to speed walk to catch up with him which was not as difficult considering that he had taken my suitcase off of me.
Finally arriving at the car I was shell shocked to find that he owned a black Mercedes that didn't have one single scratch on it. "Come on get in," he's said with a smirk knowing that I was impressed by his lavish car. Once in the car Ace checked that I had my seatbelt on before beginning to drive off. We sat in an uncomfortable silence for about 5 minutes before he finally broke it. "So I'm Ace as you already know I'm 21 and probably the nicest brother then followed by Shea then Javier then Tadgh then Zayn."
I made a mental note of this and said a short "Oh ok," back. All of a sudden he then started laughing and I mustered you the best glare that I had and spat "what" a little too aggressively than intended. He turned to face me and the smile was gone and replaced with a somewhat angry face "First of all less of the attitude and secondly it's your accent that's all it's too cute. Say 33 please." Wow bipolar much. "Sorry your accent is pretty weird to me as well," I looked up at him. He just smiled and accepted my apology. He turned on the radio and we continued the drive home.
We drive through the woods for about 20 minutes until we arrived at a house which I was sure didn't belong to my brothers but I was wrong. Ace drive up to the gate and entered a pin and the big black gates opened and we drove through. My eyes widened at the sight of the house. It was huge. At the sight of my reaction Ace once again have me a devilish smirk and pulled the car into the garage which he opened with a remote.

Ace hopped out of the car and just as I was about to open my door he opened it for me. Well this is new. He then got my suitcase out of the car and began to walk towards the front door. I scrambled after him also trying to take in as much of the house and surroundings as possible. Everything seemed surreal to me like I was in a foreign land or a dream. "Pinch me," I said and he looked at me confused. "There's no way this is real, there's no way I went from living in a Children's Home to a huge mansion." Once again he chuckled "I promise you it's not a dream." With that he opened the front door "Welcome home sorella."
