Hello "She will be okay. She lost so much blood and possibly will be awake in forty two hours." A male voice resounded.  "Forty two hours?" An angry male voice which sounded very familiar almost like Ethans resounded. We're they with me? I think I'm in hell then. They were illusions maybe. "Yes. Forty two hours. She lost a lot of blood along with a head injury and she got shot in the arm and stomach. You should be thankful that she is not dead. We did our best." A male voice responded again. It was calm, unlike Ethans. However, this conversation didn't seem to start nor end here as the shouts of panic rose. There were a few curse words exchanged by the voices that sounded too familiar. Like my siblings. God, I hope they are not here. And that was my last thought before darkness clouded me again. *the next day* "W

Apologies   "Okay"   I'm foolish.   I turned to iris, pleading with her with my eyes and confirming what I said was true. I know she wouldn't want to believe because truthfully I don't want to believe what I just said also. Mason said 'please' and I was back to being the dog that I used to be.   But other than that I know I needed to do it. It is not for just me. If I'm living, I have to start again. I am done being played at, and always drowning in guilt. I want a fresh start and thinking about everything that is happening and coming to a closure is a better start for starting my life again.   A new beginning. I promised Elijah.   "Please, iris. I have to do this." I told her. She faltered. Maybe because she saw the determination on my face. Or the burning sadness for my past. I'm done with crying and sadness and maybe she understood that. What I learned abo

Normalcy The next I woke up from my sleep, the room filled with sunlight. All the others were already up and eating their breakfasts with ease. Even Iris was eating and talking with Olivia. They seem connected like friends. Friendship at first sight. I groaned as I woke up. I couldn't move a muscle as everything was in pain. And then I noticed Adrian. He was seated on the sofa working on something on his computer. No one noticed me at first. Mason was also eating his breakfast, thinking about something. He was really deep, like deep deep in thoughts. And I know it because I know he and Adrian would be the first ones to notice I'm awake and Adrian is working, so his concentration must be there and mason was deep in his thoughts. Our talk in the early morning must have worked out. I am gonna give them another chance. This seems so unreal to me. Looking at all of them peacefully eating. All my loved ones were here except George and Melanie. This seemed like a dream except for the pain

Back to New York "YOU ARE COMING WITH US?" I shouted like a mad woman at Adrian and that caught the attention of all my brothers who were already inside the plane and doing something fun. At least that's what they thought. "Yes. Isn't it already obvious?" My dearest best friend replied back to me before stone, an emotionless man could even open his mouth. "I don't think someone shot you near your eyes and anyway, come on. It's already late." She continued.This girl. If only I could kick her right now. Somehow to my utter nonsurprise, my brothers agreed with statement of reasoning instead of her. And they really didn't appreciate the obvious joke meant on my injuries. And I didn't give much of an interest to it as my attention was captured by the man who stood near the steps waiting to go in if not for the sarcastic words exchanged between my younger elder brothers who were not mature enough and Iris who acts like she is mature. And I just ignored the words as they only make me laug
