Pain. What is the true meaning? To me, it is complete and utter sadness, anger and depression. After all, I was only told last night that my parents were killed in an accident, but the good news is I am going to live with my parents' best friends Sarah and Jack

I am standing in front of their house right now and I am a little scared. I ring the doorbell and Sarah answers with a smile. She wraps me in a hug

"Oh Carter, I am so sorry. Your parents were wonderful people, I'm glad that you are staying with us. Here, come inside let me introduce you to the boys" Did she just say boys? As in plural?

"Boys come downstairs, Carter is here!" She says through the intercom.

"So how many boys do you have?"

"Okay. Don't freak out but I have 14 boys" she says and my smile turns into a frown. 14?! Are you freakin kidding me?

I am pulled out of my train of thought by a stampede of feet coming down the stairs. I look up and see all the boys and forgive me for saying this but they are all hot!

"Well, don't just stare, introduce yourselves" Sarah says and they all line up in front of me from what I am guessing is youngest to oldest.

"Hi I'm Jason and I am five" A little boy with blonde hair like Sarah's and brown eyes and an excited expression says

"Hi I am Henry and I am seven" A boy with dark hair and green eyes says

"Hi I'm Nick, I'm ten" A boy with light brown hair and green eyes says and I smile

"Hi I'm Kian and I am 13" A boy with Light brown hair and blue eyes says

"Hi I'm Charlie and I am 14" a boy with Carmel colored hair and brown eyes says

"Hi I'm Liam and I am 15" a guy with brown and purple hair and blue eyes says

"Hi I'm Andrew and I am 16"  a guy with dark hair and brown eyes says

"Hi, I'm Sam and I am also 16" a boy with Carmel colored hair and blue eyes says

"Hi I'm Johnny, I am 17" a guy with light get brown hair and green eyes says

"Hi I'm Trevor and I am 19" a guy with dark brown hair and green eyes says

"Hi I'm Alex and I am 20" A guy with blonde hair and brown eyes says

"Hi I'm Daniel and I am 21" a guy with dark brown hair and blue eyes says

"Hi I'm Devin and I am 22" A guy with brown and blue hair says

"Hi I'm Michael and I am 23" A guy with blonde hair and green eyes says

I smile and wave "hi I'm Carter and I am 16" I say and Sam and Andrew go "yes!" Which causes them to get slapped by Devin and Charlie and makes me chuckle.

"Okay well, Sam can you show Carter to her room?" Sarah asks and he smirks

"On second thought, Jason, can you take her to her room please?" Sarah says and little Jason smiles and grabs my hand and pulls me upstairs to a huge room

"Wow" I say because I am speechless and he smiles

"It's not as big as the others but it's okay-"

"Are you serious? It's huge, I love it!" I say and he sits on my bed

"My mommy told me that you don't talk much, but your talking to me, why?" He asks and tears well up in my eyes and he wipes them away

"Don't cry Carter. It's okay" he says with a hug and I smile and laugh

"What's going on in here?" Sam says and I shake my head

"Why are you crying?"

"I'm not" I say while quickly wiping away my tears. "Alright. Find don't tell me, it's Jason's bed time though so let's go buddy" he says while grabbing Jason's arm and he pouts

"Noooo, I want Carter to tuck me in!"  He says and Sam looks at me and I smile

His room is only across the hall from mine so I pick him up at open his door and put him in bed. I pull up the blankets, tuck him in and give him a kiss on the cheek and turn out his light

"Goodnight Jason"

"Goodnight Carter, I love you" he says in a cute baby voice and I smile and close his door. I quickly run back into my room and plop on my bed

"I'm going to bed, goodnight" I say through the intercom.

"We are so sorry, but your parents didn't make it-"

"What? How is this possible?"

"Your father jumped over your mother and that saved her for a little while but she died in surgery. I'm sorry for your loss" the doctor says and I break down

This can't be happening. Images of the accident play through my head

"NO, NO THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!"

"Carter, wake up. Your having a bad dream" a voice that I recognize as Sam's says and I jump up with tears strolling down my cheeks and I realize that I must look like crap right now

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" I ask and he nods

"I'm sorry" I say and Sam shakes his head "don't be, we all have bad dreams. Do you want to talk about it?" He asks and I shake my head

"Is it what bothered you yesterday?" He asks and I nod. Wait yesterday? What time is it? I look at my clock to see that it is six AM

"I can ask my mom to call your and they can-"

"No, You can't" I sigh and he looks at me confused

"Why not?"

"Because my parents are dead" I say and he gives me a look of sympathy

"I'm sorry I had no idea-"

"Why do you think I came to live here? What you thought it was random? That my parents must have been retards and left me? Well they weren't, they were amazing people and they didn't deserve to die, it's all my fault and I can never change what happened that night" I say while wiping a tear away and he sits on my bed

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks and I turn back on my side "I've said to much already, go back to sleep"

"Are you going to be okay?"

"I'm fine. I promise" Just tell him! Tell him how your in pain, tell him that your unhappy tell him how much you miss them!

"Alright, school starts next week so we are going to make the most out of our summer" he says while walking out of the door. I turn on my back and just stare up at the walls
