I have no idea how a cut can be so interesting, but I won't judge a book by its cover. He unexpectedly moves and places a heartwarming kiss on my crown, brushing through the strands of my hair.

"Look Stone, Im not that 6 year old you can just boss around and fuck over anymore, I can take care of myself, Ive been doing that for my whole life so far, so why not the rest, so either order something or get the fuck out", I said to him getting faster and faster as I spoke.

Gemma isn't what you would call normal. With a genius IQ, a not so great home life, and a hard time staying in tight spaces, the girl's got a few issues. She never thought that she would be saying that a new issue was four older brothers she had no idea about. Brothers who thought she died twelve years ago? But not everything is as it appears with our lovely little Gemma; same with her new brothers. Nothing is as it appears, it seems. With a past worse than expected at first glance, literal demons that can bite them in the ass, and a couple of plain grouchy Starbucks attendants, this will be one crazy ride. But will this ride destroy the family or bring it back together? Don't look at me, I don't know. You'll have to read to figure that out. (The chapter titles are in Portuguese but the story is in English, I promise you).

Khloe Lakewoods life isn't ordinary. It's the opposite. She has six older and overprotective brothers. How does she survive? She spent the start of her high school going to a completely separate school to the rest of her brothers, except her twin because she wanted to go to the same school as her best friend. However they discovered her bestfriend wasn't the best influence and now she's forced to move to another school. With all her brothers. This is a rough and unedited draft. Expect mistakes. But I enjoy writing it. [Trigger warning - there are some triggering topics mentioned that may not be appropriate for some readers. Mental health issues.
