THE SUN WAS SHINING BRIGHTLY and well pretty much everybody saw it as beautiful day except for Keira. Life could be so much unfair to people sometimes. At that moment it was very hard for Keira. Even though it was such a bright sunny day. For Keira, it wasn't so bright. Maybe that was why she liked the rain so much.
Keira was walking down the pavement to her work place 'Heather's diner'. She kicked a stone after stone while walking. Her hands were in the pockets of her ripped skinny jeans and her head was ducked down.
She pushed the glass doors of the diner and walked inside, she knew that Heather had already arrived because the diner was already open. She walked to the back side of the diner and wore her blue colour apron . There weren't any people at that time therefore she started to put the chairs down and cleaning the tables.
"Hello, good morning Keira". Keira heard someone talking to her from behind.
"Oh hello, Heather. Good morning". Heather was the wife of owner of Heather's diner. She was around her early sixties as her husband. They were both kind people and were like Keira's own grandparents. One of the things she liked about them was their great taste in music. The diner was mostly decorated by music-ish things. As an example there were music stickers on the walls and the glass. There was a guitar hung on the wall. And the quote 'Music is a piece of art that goes in the ears straight to the heart' was written on the wall. Heather and her husband both loved music. They once told her that music was what brought their hearts together. Keira would listen to their story in awe, no matter how many times Marcus disturbed her during her shift.
There was a small stage in the corner of the diner. Every night a band played there. Much to her dismay, she never got the chance to hear them as her shift got over before the band arrived. She would love to hang around a bit after her shift as Heather suggested ones but she didn't want her brothers waiting.
Business went quite well for Heather and her husband, Marcus during that time. Well comparing to the customers they used to get more people would come after each day.
It was a quite tiring day for Keira as she was running from table to table and finally when she off at 6 she wanted nothing but to go home.
"Okay guys I'm off now. See you tomorrow" Keira said after leaving her apron.
Just as she pulled the glass doors she met with most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. Well even she had a pair of blue eyes but for Keira that person's eyes were way better. She knew whose eyes they were. It was Ashton's. He was the lead guitarist of the band played at the diner. There were two other guys and a girl behind him.They were the other members of the band. Right behind Ashton, a guy with brown hair stood and after him the brunette girl and Noel, a blonde guy. Keira knew him from school they were the same age and they were in the same class for music.
Keira only knew Noel but the interest she took in Ashton when she saw him for the first time made her ask Heather about his name.
Keira stepped aside making room for them to enter. After giving the girl a small smile she walked out of the diner.
*~*~*~*~
"Boys I'm home!". Keira shouted as she entered her house to let her younger brothers know.
"Keira! Keira! Jason broke your guitar". Jasper shouted betraying his twin brother.
"WHAT?!" Keira couldn't help but yell back.
" I did not! Jasper is lying!".
"Did too!" Was Jasper's reply.
"Jason! What did you do?" Keira only had one guitar and it was her life. She didn't know what she would do without it.
"I swear I didn't break it" Jason lowered his voice before saying "it's just one string".
Keira let out a breath of relief. All sort of pictures of her guitar broken in to two or even smaller pieces were flashing through her mind. Yeah they could have done it. They were such monsters with innocent faces. That was what Keira thought.
"What were you doing with my guitar?" Keira asked with a calm voice this time.
"I don't know. I was just trying to play it. What's wrong with a 12 year old trying something new in his life? Is that a crime? Am I not valuable enough to my own sister more than a guitar? Why are you so cruel?" Jasper just rolled his eyes at his brother. Even though that kind of act had worked on our parents. Jasper knew that Keira wouldn't let go of it easily. And Jason was being dramatic as always. Even though Keira wasn't really related by blood to them, being dramatic was something they both shared.
Kiera was taught by her parents that blood doesn't really make one family only love does. And without a doubt she believed it, as her loving parents proved it to her.
Keira sighed " It's fine I can fix it".
A huge smile formed on Jason's lips as he shouted "aww I knew you were the best sis ever!"
Jasper scoffed "are you really falling for his act?".
"No, but the string isn't a big deal. But Jason if you break my guitar I'll take your phone away from you". Keira threatened nonchalantly.
"It won't happen again" Jason replied innocently and put his tongue out at his twin brother.
"Boys come help me set the table up. I bought dinner".
Since 5 months dinner hadn't been the same with two more empty chairs. The chairs their parents used to sit. It was lonely without them. It was incomplete. Keira didn't voice her thoughts. She was glad to see her brothers finally starting to get better. They couldn't really handle their parents death. Especially Jasper and Keira had to force herself to be stronger. For her brothers sake.
After cleaning up the table. They all went to the living room and watched friends on the television.
"Hey Keira can we come to the diner after school tomorrow?" Asked Jason.
Keira tilted her head and asked "I guess, as long as you two behave. But why?"
Jason brought his attention back to the TV "oh no reason. I just wanna hang out there rather than being at home".
Jasper scoffed "he just wants to see his girlfriend".
"What no!" Jason protested.
"Girlfriend?" Keira asked in confusion.
Jason groaned "she is not my girlfriend alright". He smirked "well yet".
"Oh so there is a girl huh. Is it a date?" Keira asked sincerely being curious about her brothers life.
"No. She is the granddaughter of the owners there. I just wanna go there so I could talk to her. You know Jasper this is how you do things. You should man up and talk to Chloe".
"What? Chloe? Why should I talk to her?"Jasper started to blush.
"Oh c'mon I know you like her. I have seen you staring at her. All the time". Jason replied while Keira just watched her brothers talk.
"That's insane. I don't even like her. I mean sure she is hot but I don't have a crush on her" Jasper replied crossing his arms.
A soft chuckle escaped Keira's lips " since when did you grow up so much? You should go and sleep now you have school tomorrow. Go, get up".
They said good night to Keira and left the living room. Keira knew they weren't going to sleep. They would just chit chat about something or stay on their phones till late. Well Keira did the same too but she would just watch videos on YouTube. Unlike her small brothers Keira didn't have much friends. The only friend she had was miles away in a college.
Keira knew she had to check up on her brothers again. But she didn't want move from the couch yet. She didn't really like to play the role of her mother to her brothers but she didn't really have a choice. She was left to do the things her parents used to do the twins.
After half an hour Keira got tired and walked towards to her brothers to room to check on them. She heard a small whisper and it stopped her from walking in to the room.
"-you hear too? It was so weird. What could it be?"Said Jason.
"I have no idea".
"Since when-".
"Guys what are you doing. I thought I told you to sleep".
"Well we couldn't because the TV was too loud" was Jason's reply.
"Yeah nice try I switched off the TV when you went. What were you talking about?" Keira asking crossing her arms under her chest.
"Nothing important. Good night Keira" After saying that Jasper pulled the sheets over his head. And Jason did the same.
"Hmm, night boys"
