I may or may not have been listening to black vail brides while writing this

I don't really remember what had happened, but I heard someone calling my name. I was laying down on a bed, I wasn't under the covers though. Who was it calling my name? the voice was gentle and soft. Was it father?

"Augustus, wake up," the voice said again

I turn around on the bed but don't open my eyes. "Father?"

"um...no. This is Quinton," I open my eyes realizing they had an accent, one of the many accents in the U.K (it's a Birmingham accent). I see a boy taller than me by quite a bit but not nearly as tall as Rick. He had brown eyes and hair just the same, it was woven into large curls not nearly as tight as mine. His eyes although being a pretty colour had large dark circles under them which took away from that beauty. I shouldn't be complaining though it's not like mine where any better, I just usually covered them up with makeup.

"I hate to wake you, I know youre tired. But, it's dinner time, and you're going to get in trouble if you don't eat," He said as I got up off the bed. We are now both standing and I can see he's not that much taller then Donavan. I and him start to head down the stairs, I can tell he's uncomfortable I need to say something.

"I'm sorry, about that...the jet lag is really getting to me," That sentence actually came out ok.

"Ya, Finn Guessed you would be asleep." Finn? Who was that? One of the boys I haven't met yet, maybe?

The walls of the stairs were covered in family-like photos, all the way up. I assume they went up to the second floor too. The boys in the photo really looked like a family, some photos altogether, or just a few of them in the photo, or even just 1 of them. I didn't pay much attention to the photos. We got back into the entryway, it looked almost the same but there were more shoes at the door and the wooden bench had more stuff on it. It felt like one big family, and I wanted to be apart of it.

Across from the landing of the stairs was an archway that leads to the kitchen. along the top of the arch was hanging plants, the way you hang them to dry them out. I'm not very knowledgeable about plants, but I think one of them was lavender. There was another archway of the same manner at the end of the hall. We went through that one, it leads to the living room.

The living room was green, as in there were plants everywhere. Somewhere on shelves and tables, or just on the floor, some even hanging by the window. The Window, It stretched across the entire room. Giving the most beautiful view of the backyard, the backyard looked very similar to the front. Plants and trees sounding the light wood fence, a large tree growing peaches just as large. A bench the exact same as the one in the entryway sat in front of the peach tree. A large porch with a roof over the top of it and an inground pool in front of it, but one of those expensive ones that are made to look like a pond. The living room had a large brown sectional sofa, and trough pillows with little ducks on them. A T.V sat above a fireplace which was made out of gray, brown, and red-toned rocks. The T.V was not on the pure wooden mantel but instead on the wall above it. candles and other little knickknacks filled the uneven space of the wood. Two shaves were on the opposite side of the window, they were of the same manner as the mantle.

On the other side of the room is where the dining room is, where four of the seven boys were, one was with me so where were the other two. The table was a slandered wooden rectangle with chairs just the same. The chairs had red cushions to make the wood more comfortable. the rest of the dining room was accented with red too. There was another doorway that leads to the kitchen, this one was just a normal rectangular one. there was an opening for a window beside it, but there was no glass, in not really sure the propose of it. On the ledge was a single potted plate in a red circular pot.
