Silence. That's all me and my brother can muster up. Silence. I feel like the Baudelaire children in a series of unfortunate events. Sitting in the back seat of a car, being taken to our new home. It's a sad day, it's a sad beginning. We turn into a drive way and turn to see a plain grey house. We stop Jake, our handler, getting out.
"Are you sure you want to do this. We don't have to do this" my brother says, I smile weakly
"Calum, it's two years until you turn eighteen, let's just face what's ahead of us" I say and he nods slightly. We get out of the car and Jake hands us our bags. We walk up to the front door as he knocks. The door opens quickly to a young woman. Her blond hair tied in a tight bun and eyes a soft blue.
"You must be the Hoods" she says smiling, Jake nods
"Yes this is Calum and Secret" he says "Oh and I'm Jake Welding their handler" he adds putting out his hand, the woman reaches out shaking it.
"I'm Kelly Will, please come in" she steps aside and we step in. The inside is as plain as out I sitting area, kitchen, dinning room. "Kids your rooms are upstairs each labeled if you want to settle in I'll be up in a minute to talk to you" Kelly tells us and we climb up the stairs. Each door has a sign on it decorated differently. The first has the name Melody on it with a plus Ashton towards the bottom and a heart or two including a music note. I turn to the other side where Ashton's room is labeled with a plus Melody and drum stick drawn on. I walk down with my brother to the next door where Luke is printed with a rainbow, microphone, and guitar. Then after that is Micheal with a guitar and microphone as well. He also has a broken heart on it with blood looking drips and lyrics
Someday, some how, I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I half smile and we walk to the last doors Hood boy and Hood girl written on them. I turn to Calum who shrugs. We look down find two boxes of chalk and sticker. I reach down opening the box and pulling out a green piece and erase my board writing Secret and big fancy
letters. I draw music notes and a microphone. I add a rose and decide to add a broken heart and lyrics of my own
I'll miss you far away for far to long
I put away the used chalk and then set the box on the ground. I open the door to a decorated room so different from the rest of the house. The greens, blues, purples, escorted around, many composition notebooks stacked on a desk in the corner. I don't look around long before a tap on my shoulder. I turn to my brother who is actually smiling
"I like it here" he says and I smile as well hugging him
"Me too" I say.
