The entire house was quiet, considering I had many noisy brothers the quietude was very unsettling but I understood why. I sat at the edge of one chair in the living room of my fathers house, roman sitting beside me as we both watched a rerun of friends on the TV even though our minds were completely off. Matias sat in another chair staring into space and completely ignoring our presence. He hadn't spoken a word since we arrived earlier in the morning. I could understand his pain, he was the closest to our father while the rest of us were rather distanced. He took everything father said as gold. Xavier didn’t really seem as bothered as his twin because he mad one move to comfort him whatsoever. Ace and Diego were not present because they had gone to see to my mother. I hadn't even seen her yet since the news was broken to me. Not that I didn’t want to but a part of me just didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t fathom her grief because I hated my father for most of my life. “you look pre

Matias was the first to leave the dinning room. He walked into the living room and flopped into one of the chairs with a loud huff. I looked away from my re run of mean girls and stared at him wondering why he was hunched in his chair like he’d been scolded. He looked at me and we stared at each other for a few seconds before he broke the silence. “i want a niece first” he announced with a sour face, i giggled. “whatever you want Matias” I replied. He shrugged, looking down at the couch and picked at it before looking up again. “but seriously is this what you want, I mean right now, don’t let anyone pressure you into doing it” he said with all seriousness. I grinned at our protective he was being. “this is what I want big brother who knew you could be such a baby” i replied. He glared at me and huffed again. “im not a baby” he muttered. “are to” I replied. “not” he snapped back. I laughed at him but he didn’t seem to find it funny because the next thing in knew I was being th

I felt better waking up the next morning, Roman’s side of the bed was empty but still a bit warm meaning he’d just woke up. I rolled out of the bed to go to the shower because if felt clammy and sweaty. I groaned when o looked at where I stood up from and saw it soiled with blood. I’d been so caught up with a lot of things that I forgot to check the date. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, so I hurried back to the bed, lay down and covered myself with the duvet. Roman walked in dressed in shorts and a normal t shirt.“i know you are not sleeping Camila, come have breakfast” he said.“don’t worry, I’ll come after you” I replied but he didn't move instead he came forward and ripped the duvet off me.“get up” he instructed. I shook my head trying to reach for the duvet. Roman froze for a second as his blue eyes met mine. I flushed. This reminded me of the first time I got my period, Matias was the one that found out and he went around the house yelling that I was dying but when

“your brothers have suggested a date” Roman told me as we sat down to eat breakfast. He had a skeptical look on his face as if wondering how I was going to react to the news. “when?” I asked, stuffing my mouth with some hash browns that he’d made. He looked down at the paper he was holding. “that’ll be in two weeks, June 20” I nodded finding nothing wrong with the date. Roman smiled and stuffed the paper away before beginning on his breakfast. We were soon interrupted though by someone slamming the front door open. Olivia stalked into the room with Matias right behind her. They both had very excited looks on their faces but I just didn’t get their excitement. “what are you guys doing?” Olivia asked looked down at our breakfast with a sour look on her face that matched the one on Matias face too. “eating breakfast” I deadpanned earning an eye roll from her. “we have a party to plan, tonight is the announcement to friends and family and ya’ll sitting eating this” she took a piece of

Its been 3 days, 3 days of me seating beside Matias’ bed waiting for him to wake up. I’ve watched him just sleep and snore for 3 whole days and that was the only indication that he was alive. I was holding his hand for all the time that I sat there, which was in fact 2 days, I’d got up only to use the bathroom. Roman forced me to eat a few time but the food always came back up as it did whenever I was worried about something. I was the morning of the 4th day and I could feel my body weakening already even though I told Roman and the rest of my brothers that I was totally fine. I looked up when I saw the door of the ward open, it was Diego and Roman both looking fresh because I’d told them to go home and freshen up. “hey, how’s he?” Diego asked me, taking a seat beside me. I shrugged not knowing what to say. Was he fine? He’s been like that for a few days now. “you need to rest Camila, you’ve been here for almost 3 days now” Roman said with a sigh. He looked me straight in the eye w
