"Lia, they're here!" Nick whisper-yelled frantically as he ran into my room gripping my hand.
"Whoa, slow down. Who's here?" I asked trying to get my hand away from my little brother.
"Mum and Dad! They're both here!" He exclaimed as he gripped my hand tighter.
"What? Why?" I asked in a panic, actually getting off of my bed and following Nick out of the door.
"I don't know, they just barged in through the front door." I ran down the stairs faster than Nick and saw all of my brothers and Avery in the living room, staring at my smirking parents.
"Ah, you're all here now. Good. Your mother and I have some very important news." Chris said with a gleeful grin on his face. No-one said anything so he continued. "We are evicting you all!" He said happily with a clap of his hands. I gawked at him, and I could be sure that everyone else looked the same.
"What? You can't do that to us!" Liam yelled. Chris laughed him off.
"Oh, but you see, we can do this. If we don't want you here, then you won't be here. We have no use for the house what with all of our travelling, and we could be so much better off selling the house, so that's what's happening." Mel said with a malicious undertone to her words.
"But what about us?"
"What about you?"
"What are we meant to do? Where are we meant to go?" Leo asked desperately.
"Don't know, don't care."
"How can you even say that you don't care about your own children? That your own flesh and blood doesn't even matter to you?" I asked angrily.
"Well it's only the truth." She shrugged. "You have one hour to pack your things and return your keys before we forcefully drag you out of the house." Chris said before taking Mel by the hand and walking out of the house. I looked back at my siblings to see them staring after my parents in shock.
"I can't believe that we are going to be homeless." Nick mumbled next to me.
"We won't be homeless as such. We all have somewhere to go, so we will be okay." James piped up.
"No, you and Avery have somewhere to go. The rest of us have to crash somewhere until this bloody housing issue is over." Josh groaned as he stomped up the stairs. I sighed and followed him. I heard Josh slam his bedroom door as I got to the top of the stairs and began walking across my landing to my own room. I shut my door and looked around my room, finding somewhere to start considering I only had an hour. James and Avery could help us I suppose considering they had a home, but I wanted to do this myself. I picked my phone up from my bed and quickly entered the group chat whilst rummaging under my bed for a bag or suitcase to pack things into.
Are you two together right now?
No, I'm at James and Charlies place, Why?
I'm at home. What's up?
Can you do me a favor babe and go to Zara's?
Sure, but why? What's going on?
Just please go and text me when you're there, I'll tell you after x
I left my phone back on the bed and ran to my wardrobe, packing a few changes of clothes, pyjamas, shoes, underwear and grabbing a coat. I also picked up my school uniform and school bag before I shoved them all in my suicase and left my bag and coat on the side. I took my phone charger from the wall and put that in my suitcase as well as my handbag which contained my purse. I grabbed all of my essentials and toiletries and chucked them in too. I took one last glance around my room before I ran over to my film and TV collection. I picked up my favourite ones and dropped them on top of my rapidly filling suitcase. I heard a ping from my phone and glanced down at it seeing that Danny was now at Zara's. I picked up my laptop from the floor and went on skype. I clicked on Zara's name and the ringtone rang around my room. I swiped my hand across my forehead ridding myself of the sheen of sweat that had covered it whilst Zara and Danny's face popped up side-by-side on the screen in front of me.
"What's the matter? You didn't exactly specify why I had to come here." Danny asked off the bat.
"I needed to speak to both of you at the same time, it's extremely important." Zara looked at me with a worried expression.
"What's so important that you couldn't text us or we couldn't come to you?" She asked. I sighed.
"That's kinda what the issue is. Texting would have taken too long and I have," I glanced at the time in the lower right hand corner of the screen of my laptop. "less than fifteen minutes left to talk to you." They looked at me expectantly, if not a little confused. "I'm being kicked out of my house, all of us are." I finally said, trying to hold back on the truth as much as I could've.
"WHAT?" They both yelled simultaneously whilst asking questions over each other at an alarming pace.
"Shut up a minute!" I exclaimed loudly with my hands up. They both quieted down but their minds were still reeling. "My dickhead parents don't like any of us any more so they are kicking us out of the house so they can sell it. With the amount of travelling they do, they don't even need a house, so it suits them. They gave us an hour to pack everything and have provided us with no-where to go and no help in finding somewhere. James is fine considering he has his own place and so is Avery considering she has another family, the rest of us only really have friends to stay with for a few nights before we are considered a housemate that is in the way of everything. I don't know what to do." I finished with tears in my eyes. I knew that my parents weren't worth the tears, but the thought of being kicked out by the people that brought me into the world and wanting nothing more to do with me, is actually painful in it's own way. I knew I never had a good relationship with them, but it was better than no relationship which was the case right now.
"Hey, hey, don't cry, they don't deserve your tears. You can stay with me for as long as you need to. My parent's love you and your family so they would be more than happy to have you here. And, we have Charlie's empty room, so one of your brothers could come too!" Danny said in a soothing voice.
"That is so nice, but I can't accept. I don't want to intrude on your family."
"Nonsense! Come over with Josh or something, we would be happy to have you here." I thought about it for a minute before finally nodding my head with a gracious smile.
"I could never repay you for such a thing, thank you so so much Danny." I bit my lip to stop more tears falling.
"Hold on, who is Avery?" Zara finally came out of her silent state. I laughed lightly before telling her everything she missed. She forgets things in her hyper state. "Well shit. I suppose it's a good thing that you aren't the only girl anymore!" I laughed and nodded. "Also, one of your bothers could always stay here if they need to."
"Thank you both so much, words can't describe how happy I am that you are both so willing to help us." As soon as I said that Mel barged in through the door.
"Get your shit bitch, you're out of here!" She yelled at me with an evil grin.
"Screw you Melanie." I scowled and gave an apologetic looks to my friends before ending the call and packing my laptop and it's charger into my suitcase.
"Give me the key." She held her hand out to me as I zipped the case up. I glared at her and rummaged around in my back pocket for the keyring I kept. I flipped through everything on it before I came to the front door key. I took it from the ring and pressed it roughly into her hand. "Bitch." She mumbled as she walked out of my room, jingling all of our keys in her palm. I smiled at the back door key that I had cut and put all of my keys into my school bag. I shrugged my coat on and swung my school bag over my back. I stood up from the floor and gripped the handle of my black case before making my way out of my room and down the stairs where I saw the rest of my siblings. We all walked out of the house together as Chris locked the door behind us and got back into his car with Mel without so much a glance in our direction.
"Does everyone have a place to go? Raise you hand if you don't." James said. Avery stood by him. The boys all raised their hands. "Lia, where you going?"
"Danny's. He also said that I could bring someone if they didn't have a place."
"I'll go." Josh said and stood next to me with a big sports bag hanging from his hand and his school bag on his back. I nodded with a small smile.
"Zara also said that she was happy to have someone there." I butted in before James could say anything else.
"We'll go." The twins offered. "We've nowhere else to go." Leo shrugged. James nodded and told Nick to go with him and Charlie.
"Well now that you all have somewhere to go, I'll be off back to my parents' place. I'll find you a more permanent place. I'll be in touch." Avery said whilst going around hugging us all. She walked off towards town where her car was left. I turned to my brothers and saluted before walking off in the same direction as her, Josh right by me as we made our way to our temporary home with my boyfriend.
