14 Men and a Little Princess

Chapter 2

Knock-knock, I hear a slight tapping on my door. "Come in." I'm still concentrating on my journal but, I already know who it is based on their smell of cinnamon. Andrew walks in and comes to sit by me on the bed. He must have just gotten home from work. "What-cha doing baby girl." I look up into his gorgeous blue eyes that remind me so much of the sky. I love looking at my brothers eyes. His are way better than my boring green ones. My brothers get so mad at me when I put myself down. I can't help but compare myself to them. They are hot and and are talented in everything. I'm just their dull little sister. " Nothing much just wanted to try writing out some things see if it will help. Did you just get home?" " Yeah, it was a nice day. We had a few cars to work on while my boss worked on a motorcycle," said Andrew. I like Brandon he's really sweet and kind to us. My brothers go alot to visit Andrew to see the new projects they work on while I stay home. Ive been there one time when Andrew first started. Brandon was patient with my brothers showing them the ins and outs of motorcycles. I mostly just sat with Andrew handing him wrenches when needed and admiring the beauty of the work placed into the vehicles. Maybe one day I'll really talk to Brandon. Just between you and me he's dreamy. Even his twin Corey is just like him. Smart, adorable, and amazing deep blue eyes. I know Brandon's hold more deep secrets almost a saddness just by looking at them. Corey's are more vibrant and happy. We met Corey through Brandon. He got Cole a job with Corey working with computers. Corey teaches Cole how to fix computers and how to do computer programing. Cole loves it there and learns new things every day. We have to be careful sometimes around the twins. We don't want them to find out about our situation at home where we will get separated. The boys will do anything to keep me safe and with them. I come out of my dream land with a hand waving in front of my face. I look up at Andrew and he has a smug grin on his face knowing he caught me daydreaming. "So, what are you thinking so hard about over there?" I am so embarrassed my face is beet red and I do the only thing that can save me. I shove him straight off the bed. Andrew is literally laughing at me and I become even redder than I was. " Don't worry baby girl I'm just messing with you. I'm about to go check on the others do you need help making dinner." I check the time with the clock beside my bed and it's 4:45pm. " Yeah, I'll be down in a sec just need to hide my book." He wraps me up into a giant bear hug and I'm surrounded by cinnamon. It's so relaxing and I get this goofy grin on my face. Andrew reaches over and kisses my forehead and walks out to one of my brothers room. Now where can I hide my journal? "Hmm, oh I know." I walk over to the cubby hole hidden over in the corner of my room behind my closet door. I literally keep my closet door open just to keep it hidden. I thought to put a book case in front of it but I go to it way to much. It leads to a small air space that can store things. You have to crawl inside and have to stay sitting. Your head won't hit the beams while sitting but it's to low to stand up. Only my brothers know bout it because we found a tiny hole big enough for a finger one afternoon. We explored it and discovered a perfect place for me to hold important items from mother and Marie. It's a secret door but, when it's closed you hardly know it's there except the hole. " Ugh, I need to get one of the guys to clear out the spider webs. I so don't need one of those mutated, beady eyed, eight legged, scary monsters coming after me and attacking me." Andrew was able to find an Amish style hope chest for me at a yard sale to store my most precious mementos. I placed it in the corner close to one of the beams where it's safe and I can sit down and look through everything. It's nothing exciting just an old chest with a rose in the middle. I always loved roses. The chest creaks a little when I open the lid. The first thing on top is my drawings I made when I was younger. Next, pictures of me and my brothers that I saved from mothers destruction. There is an old baseball of Scotty's. Cole's old t-shirt with Superman on it. Jeramies old hat that has Roll Tide on it. Andrew's toy cars he let me play with when I was a child, and the last thing Liam's old camera. Mother would never let me in any of the family pictures. She would pay for the boys and Marie's school pictures but never mine. So, what the boys and I do is make our own family pictures using Liam's camera. We place them into a photo album for us to look at when ever we want. I hide everything to keep it safe from being destroyed. If I didn't have my brothers I don't know what I do to survive all these years. It's hard though cause I dont ever want to be a burden ont them. I try to do everything I can to help my brothers. I placed my journal into my chest and close the lid. I begin to crawl out into my bedroom and seal the door closed. I open my closet door to hide the hole in the wall. I slip on my flip flops and run downstairs to prepare dinner. "Hmm, maybe we can have taco soup with chocolate cake for desert." Yum, chocolate I can't help but lick my lips. I am a total chocoholic. It's my true kryptonite. I start getting the ingredients out while waiting on Andrew.
