His Scarlet Rose

1

Scarlets POV
____________

My home life isn't great. My parents rarely pay attention to me because of my mothers depression and my fathers workaholic nature.
     They didn't even notice when I got my tattoo and my ears pierced. They just barely even noticed when I dyed my hair from dirty blonde which was my natural hair color to a deep crimson red. 
     They don't even care when I get detention for fighting among other things.

I roll my eyes and pick up all my books and put them into my backpack. I had been called down to the principals office just before the final period was over and I had to serve my detention.

I walk into the principals office and sit down. This isn't my first time here and probably not my last. I've been in here countless times and it's my freshman year.

When I walk in I see a police officer standing there as well.

"What's going on" I ask

"Scarlet your father died in a car crash today and your mother killed herself shortly after." A tear came to my eye. I may resent my parents a bit for never paying attention to me and not even giving a shit when I got into fights or almost got expelled but I'm not heartless and I do love them.

"Oh" was all I whisper out "so what now. I go into an orphanage" I scoff.

"No. Your very lucky in fact." The police office spoke.

"How" I said narrowing my eyes at him.

"Your brothers decided to take you in after the news of-" I cut him off.

"I don't have brothers."

"Yes you do. You share the same mother but have different fathers. They live in New York City. Your mother left your father and took you with when you were just an a year or two old." The police officer spoke.

"So what. I'm moving" I ask

"Yes. And due to your record I have to escort you." I roll my eyes at the officer and walk out. He follows behind while I go to my locker and take out the two binders that I had in there. I have nothing else in it anyway.

He then escorts me to his squad car and takes me home so I can pack. And I do just that. My whole life fits into two large suitcases and a large hiking bag while my school backpack is in one of my suitcases along with my other school stuff.

I roll my eyes and put it into the trunk of the car and get in the front with my phone and earbuds.

I put on some music and drift off to sleep about an hour into the drive.

I wake up to the officer lightly shaking me awake.

"We're here." He said and started unloading my luggage from the trunk in the driveway of the really nice house.

I get startled when I hear a voice behind me.

"Do you like it." I just stare confused.

"Sorry to startle you I'm one of your brothers, Elijah" I nodded and offered him a small smile.

"So how many of you are there." I ask

He chuckles " including me. Four" so I went from having no siblings to four.

"Cool. So..." I trailed off not knowing where to go.

"Let's get you settled in" he said with a smile.

I nodded an followed behind him into the house and up a flight of stairs.

The house was large and had two floors and either dark colors or neutral tones.

He brought me to a door that had my name in white cursive on a sign hanging off the door.

I noticed there were five other doors. And each had a different font and color on each door hanging.

Elijah opened the door to reveal a sea blue room. It was not a overly feminine room but not a masculine room either it was perfect.

I smiled and flopped on the bed.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome sweetheart. I'll leave you to unpack dinner will be ready in two hours and I'll have someone come to get you" he said softly closing the door behind him on his way out.

I did just that and unpacked all my things which didn't take very long. I smiled and put a picture of me and my parents when I was three. It was us at the park before dad got so involved with work and my mom was genuinely happy.

After that I took out my laptop and started rewatching some episodes of Schitts Creek. It was one of my favorite shows ever and I recommend it.

I watched about four episodes before there was a knock on the door.

I look up from my laptop and answered.

"Come in"

And in came a tall boy that looked about a three years older then me.

"Hey. You probably don't remember me but I'm Matteo." He said with a small smile. He seemed to be a bit shy. I smile. Get up and hug him.

"It's good to see you again baby sister" he said as he hugged back.
