I woke up to someone slightly shaking my shoulders causing me to flinch back and immediately open my eyes in panic.
"Hey hey calm down it's me" I looked to see Xavier sitting on the edge of my bed facing me.
"Sorry" I said whilst sitting up on my bed.
"That's okay I didn't mean to startle you I was just coming to let you know breakfast will be ready in twenty minutes" he said whilst getting up me making his was to the door.
"Thanks" I replied as he left I got up took a nice hot shower wrapped a towel around my body and dried my hair with the blow dryer, I took my meds and got dressed into a pair of grey joggers and a burgandy long sleeved top. I applied some makeup to cover any visible bruises then made my way downstairs.
As I entered the kitchen I saw all my brothers sat there immediately going silent staring at me making me feel extremely uncomfortable. I made my way and sat with Ace on my left and Cole on my right the same as last night with Nicholas at the head of the table, Caleb opposite me with Blake on his left closest to Nicholas and Xavier and Xander to Calebs right. Everyone was staring at me as I just looked down at my hands on my lap.
"Did you sleep okay last night Bri" I looked to see Nicholas looking at me along with everyone else.
"Um yes fine thankyou" I replied quietly looking down again.
"Then why do you have bags under your eyes and look so tired" Caleb questioned.
I just shrugged my shoulders not looking up whilst saying "I don't know."
Breakfast was served and everyone started putting a load of food onto there plates I was hesitant at first but Caleb nodded at me with a smile encouraging me to get some food. I just had one pancake and two pieces of bacon. As I started eating Xavier spoke "Is that all your eating bub?" Huh bub? That's the nickname of my panda.
"Er yeah" I replied whilst continuing to eat.
"You need to eat more you barley ate last night here try these mushrooms and eggs there really good" Ace said placing a fried egg onto my plate and going to put some mushrooms on but I immediately grabbed his arm before he could place them on my plate. "WAIT STOP!!" I quickly spoke causing everyone to give me a questioning look I sat back to get away from the mushrooms.
"Do you not like mushrooms?" Ace questioned pitting the serving spoon back down.
"No it's not that I'm allergic" I stated whilst picking my knife and fork back up and continuing to eat my food.
"Ah shoot sorry I didn't know my bad" Ace apologised.
"Don't worry it's not your fault" I replied back to which he gave me a kind smile as I continued to eat.
"I had eaten one piece of bacon an egg and I only left a quarter of my pancake before I had to stop knowing I would be sick if I carried on.
"Why did you stop you've barley touched your food" Blake questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm full" I replied taking a sip from my orange juice.
"Eat more you've barley eaten anything since you got here" Nicholas said.
"I can't I'm full" I said slightly irritated that he's trying to force me to eat when I said I'm full.
"Can you try and at least finish your pancake sweetheart" Cole said in a soft voice.
I just nodded my head not wanting to start an argument whilst taking small bites already feeling as though I was gonna throw up any second.
Once I had finished someone came and took all are plates as I was about to leave Nicholas spoke "So Bri tell me is there any hobbies you like" I was shocked that he had asked me that why does he care.
"Um I don't know" I replied.
"What do you like doing for fun did you attend any clubs at your old school?" Caleb asked me.
"Oh um yeah basketball and um soccer" I replied.
"Basketball huh?" Xavier looked at me "I'll have to practice with you sometime but ill warn you I'm quite competative" Xavier chuckled.
I nodded in acknowledgement "tomorrow you and the boys will go shopping to buy you your school uniform and some new clothes" Nicholas informed me.
"No no I don't need new clothes it's fine" I really didn't want them spending money one me.
"Nonsense they'll take you to the mall tomorrow afternoon I'm busy with work along with Blake so we won't to joining but the others will" Nicholas said.
"Um okay thankyou" I replied whilst looking down. "Er may I got back to my room please" I asked.
"Yes of course we will see you later" Nicholas replied.
"Hey Bri me, Xander and Ace are gonna play some video games you wanna join us?" Xavier questioned.
"Um no thanks maybe next time I'm kinda tired" I replied hoping he won't be mad."
"Okay no worries we'll see you at lunch" he smiled back looking kinda disappointed.
With that I got up and left heading straight to my room I don't know why I'm so scared of them maybe it's because they're men I don't know I laid on my bed and started reading my book but I felt my eyes starting to shut and I fell asleep.
____________________________________
I woke up to someone knocking on my door I looked at the time to see it's ten past six shit I slept through the whole day. How? Ugh great and I'm late to dinner they're gonna be mad. The knocking started again so I turned to face the door and said "come in" with a quiet voice.
The door opened to reveal Ace "Hey dinner is ready come down and eat something" he said in a sweet voice.
I nodded my head and followed him downstairs. We entered the kitchen and I took my usual seat the food was already on the table they were probably waiting for me everyone began eating an again I was hesitant at first and slowly began eating we had lasanga I was still slightly sleepy but I managed to stay awake.
"Hey Bri we are gonna watch some movies tonight wanna join us" Ace asked me.
"Um no thanks I was just gonna go to bed" I replied I don't know why I'm being so polite I should hate these boys they left me this is so out of character for me I haven't made one cocky comment the entire time I've been here maybe it's because they're all really scary I mean Dan I could handle but these boys there's seven of them and they all look ten times stronger than Dan one wrong move and they could easily break me in half no doubt about it.
"Awh come on please we can't have family movie night without are little sister" Xavier begged with puppy dog eyes. I don't know why I'm scared they've all been pretty nice to me but yet again that could easily change in any second I didn't wanna disobey them but sitting with all of them during a movie I don't know if I'll cope being in the same room as them for so long plus my ribbs and thigh are burning it's starting to get really painful.
"Er um do I have to" I asked
"No you don't but please do" Ace replied they were both giving me puppy dog eyes.
"We've barley seen you please just one movie" Xavier carried on begging me.
"Er um okay" I gave in if I get uncomfortable I'll just say I'm tired and leave.
"Yessss!!" They both said whilst giving eachother a high five.
I tried eating a much as I could knowing they would be mad if I didn't but I felt like I was gonna be sick so I put my knife and fork down and had a drink of water.
"Can you not eat anymore hun?" Cole questioned.
"Um no sorry I'm full" I replied.
"How can you be full you barley at breakfast and you skipped lunch because you were asleep?" Blake asked me looking irritated I really don't wanna make him mad he looks hella scary.
"Sorry" I mumbled looking down at my hands on my lap playing with my fingers.
"Don't be sorry sweetheart it's fine are you sure you can't eat anymore though" Cole asked looking kinda concerned why is he being so kind towards me doesn't he hate me?
"I can't I'll be sick" I replied whilst shaking my head hoping he will understand.
"Okay that's fine you can leave the rest" he sighed.
"Um can I got upstairs" I asked.
"Yes you can someone will come get after when the movie starts" Nicholas replied.
"Okay thankyou" I replied making my way out the kitchen.
As I was about to go upstairs I heard Caleb speak "Nick what's wrong with her?" What the crap?
"Leave it Caleb she's only just gotten here and her foster father has just died she's just grieving" Nicholas replied to him.
Pffft yeah right I feel no remorse for that awful man I don't care if he's dead that may make me sound like a bitch but I don't care he was disgusting and evil.
"Yeah I guess your right" Caleb said.
I made my way to my room and changed into black leggings and a charcoal grey jumper without a hood I was really nervous to watch this movie with them who know what they might do I just hope I don't give them any reason to be mad at me.
