My Brothers and I

Chapter 6- The Fair

We all climbed into one car, because we were only headed down the street. As we got closer you could see the Ferris wheel getting bigger and bigger. They have a couple other rides, but nothing too big. The local church holds this fair every year to raise money to help the community.

Carter has been bringing me here ever since I was little, he is a great older brother. My father is great too, but it's his job that forces him to travel, and we could never ask him to quit because it is what he loves.

I love my dad, and I don't resent him for never being around. I have 5 awesome brothers here for me, every step of the way. I looked around at all the men in this car and see how happy they are to be together. I wish I had a group of friends like that.

We finally arrived "Yay" I yelled over joyed.

"Calm down, little girl" Marcus said. I glared at him giving him my 'don't mess with me' look.

He just laughed and we all got out of the car. As soon as we walked in through the gates, the triplets were bombarded with girls all around them. What else is new? I thought to myself.

"Let's just split up" Marcus suggested. I looked over at Drew to see what he thought and he just shrugged. Ever since we left the house and the triplets were talking about his parents he was been upset.

"Are you okay?" I asked Drew.

He looked over at me and he smiled "Yeah I'm better now, let's go have fun" He said.

"Alright let's go" I said to Marcus and Drew as we left the triplets behind with their adoring fans.

The first place to go when at a fair are the rides. It's better to go on the rides now, and then eat later so you don't get sick. We walked over to get our tickets to ride, and I go and pull out money to pay but before I could Marcus paid for me. "I got it" Marcus said and winked, and then I blushed.

Marcus has always been kinda flirty with me whenever he came over our house to hang with the guys, but it's never been like this before. I've always had a crush on him. I would dream about him sticking up to my brothers and he would confess his love for me, and he wouldn't care what my brothers thought, but that never happened.

Over the years my crush has started to fade a little, but when he winked at me just now it made my heart beat a little faster. "Thank you, Marcus" I said and smiled brightly at him.

"You're welcome, sweetheart" Marcus said back.

Next to me Drew groaned and said "Come on let's go before the lines get to long" I looked up at his face and he seemed angry again. What is wrong with him? Is he bipolar or something. He caught me looking at him again and he whispered "I'm fine, I promise"

I just let it go I'm here to have fun. "Let's go on the roller coa-" I was cut off when I bumped into Marcus who was walking ahead of me "What's wrong?" I asked him and I looked over and saw a girl walking his way.

My heart dropped when I saw who it was. It was Marcus's ex-girlfriend, Ashley. A year ago Marcus was totally in love, and that's why my crush for him slowly started to die. He found this beautiful girl named Ashley in the next town over at the coffee shop. She is tall, she has this blonde hair that people would pay hundreds of dollars to have, and her eyes are an electric blue. Ever since they met they had been inseparable. They did everything together, they were the cliché golden couple, until Ashley broke up with Marcus, and left with no reason.

She had finally approached Marcus and said "Marcus, is that you?"

I looked over at Marcus and he had this shocked expression on his face "Ashley? What are you doing here? I thought you left?" he asked.
