Alexia--

It was a cool spring night, I was walking around my town, Just thinking about how my life has gone wrong...

I didn't want to live anymore... I looked up at the sky, clouds moving faster, The air was getting cooler. "A storm is coming" A raspy voice came from the left of me "Pardon?" I looked at the old man puzzled, He had a tin can in one hand, His face was all drawn in, Like a sick cancer patient and his clothes were all torn, He looked up at me, His eyes sad and dull "I said a storm is coming.. You'd better get somewhere safe, it's going to be a bad one.. I can feel it in my knee" I looked around... I had nowhere to go, that I felt safe going... "Thanks... Uh.." I paused not knowing his name "Larry... Names Larry" I smiled a little "Thanks, Larry" I started to walk away. But turned around and handed him a $20 he looked at me "You don't hav-" I cut him off "I want to... Stay safe tonight, Larry" I gave him a small smile, In which he returned and I headed back to.. Where ever. Because I wasn't going back to the child's protective office.

There was a flash of lightning and a big boom of thunder I was completely soaked, And if it wasn't for a plastic baggie that held my phone that would be fried. The wind was picking up rapidly, I really needed to find shelter... I checked my phone quickly "6:00 and it's already this dark out... This is a bad storm..." I said to myself... I walked a little further until I found an overhang over some building that had a bench, I hurried over there and sat down exhausted and started to cry... I barely had anyone left... Everyone is gone... "What am I doing with my life... Fuck..." I wiped my eyes and sighed. "Alexia, there you are!" I heard a voice, My head shot up to see Jayne, My case worker, Sitting in her blue Corvette "Here I am" I pursed my lips into a thin line. "Get in, People are looking to care for you" I rolled my eyes, "I told you I don't want to do this thing anymore. I always get landed in a home worse than the last" I was shivering from the cold by now. "We did a background check this time. You're safe. They might even adopt you. But come one. Let's get you showered up before they come." she smiled. I slowly stood up and walked to her car.

The drive there was quiet. No one spoke. I didn't want to speak.

We got back and I used the small bathroom to wash my body and hair. I blew it dry and let my red hair fall in soft waves over my shoulder. I applied some makeup and walked out the door. To meet this round of caretakers.

Gerard--

"Where'd mom and dad go?" I asked my brother as I walk into the living room "Out to get our foster sister" He said not looking up from his phone "Oh great" I sighed.

We've been down this path before, and each time it results in something getting stolen and them running away. If it wasn't that it was some little kid throwing a tantrum every hour.

"Girl or boy this time?" he looked up "Girl I think" He seemed to be just as excited as I was.

Group home girls are always slutty and very unclean "Hide your valuables Mikes" I laughed flopping down on the couch beside him "Already done" he chortled. Just as a loud rumble of thunder filled the house "Storms getting pretty bad, You closed the windows upstairs right?" he looked at me with a bored look "No, I even popped the screens out too, extra wet" I rolled my eyes at him "Thanks, smart ass" "No problem!" he smiled.

"Gerard, Mikey! We're back!" Our mother called "Here goes nothing." I mumbled standing up.

And just as I suspected. A bitchy looking girl stood at the door. I rolled my eyes before disappearing to my room.

Mikey--

All it took was one look at this girl to know there was more than just the 'group home' label.

Gerard sighed and walked towards his room. "Ah, Mikey! This is Alexia" She didn't look up, And more or less looked like she was about to break down. "Hi...." Her voice was quiet "Could you take her up to the spare room, and get Gerard to bring her things in?" My father asked "Sure" I smiled looking back at Alexia who timidly walked towards me, I held my hand out for her to take and she slowly did so.

"Gerard!" I shouted, And she flinched "What!" he shouted louder and she flinched harder, I pulled her closer to me trying to comfort her. His door swung open and instantly Alexia was behind me "Mom and dad want you to bring her stuff in" I said, quieter than before, He nodded whilst eyeing her "Sure. Am I bringing it to your room or the spare" "Spare" I replied before pulling Alexia into my room "My room?" she whispered and I looked at her "Hmm, Oh no I'm just putting my phone on the charger. She nodded.

After that, I lead her to her room. "Sorry, It's kinda pink and well.." I looked at her "It's okay, Only temporary right?" she sighed before sitting on the bed "Hey, You don't know that" she shrugged "Here" Gerard's voice said grumpily from the doorway. She went rigid. I turned to see he had placed the two suitcases in the door "I don't think he likes me that much" She whispered "Just bad experiences" I stated, to which she scoffed "Right" I felt stupid for saying that now... just then the power was cut, and the only light to fill the room was the flashes of lightning outside.

Instantly I felt someone at my side trembling, Alexia, I instantly wrapped my arms around her protectively "It's okay, Only a storm" I whispered and she let out a sob. I brought her to her bed and we both laid down "I'm sorry..." She whispered into my chest "For what?" I asked her "This... I'm not usually so touchy. But you just make me feel safe... I hope that's okay..." my hand instinctively rubbed her back "It's absolutely fine" I whispered quietly "Wanna try and sleep?" she nodded shyly "Please... Stay?" She gripped my shirt tighter "If it will make you feel better, sure"

Alexia--

I woke up the next morning wrapped in some guys arms, It didn't process that I had jut been adopted, Well taken into care... And that this was my 'brother' All I knew was it was a guy and he was holding me. I knew there was no point in fighting out of the grip so I just started to cry...

This woke him up though "Hey, whats wrong?" I shook my head "Did.... Did you...." He cut me off quickly "No! Oh god no! Alexia no" His voice was quiet, It was then that I realized that it was only six in the morning on a Saturday "I'm sorry I woke you up" My voice cracked "I wasn't really sleeping, It's okay" his voice held tiredness. I sighed "Just try and sleep again" I shook my head and he raised an eyebrow at me "I'm used to waking up this early... They usually have chores or something for me to do" I said while sitting up before I was being pulled back down if you're not gonna sleep, tell me about yourself" I shook my head "What about breakfast, I can do that" He sighed from beside me "Fine, but while you do that at least tell me about yourself" I rolled my eyes before he led me downstairs.

"So... What do you guys usually eat?" I asked looking through the cabinets and the fridge "Usually cereal" I frowned at him and decided on a simple omelet with bacon and some homemade muffins.

The whole time Mikey was watching me, repeatedly telling me I didn't have to.

"Jesus, Mikey did you let Gordon Ramsay in this bitch!" Someone called from upstairs before feet were barreling down the stairs making me freeze momentarily. Before getting back to the omelet's "You made all this?" The guy's voice startled me, but I knew I'd most likely be in more trouble if I let anything burn "Y-Yes, sir" I whispered. It was clear he was the alpha of this house so I had to show him respect "Alexia you don't have to-" I cut Mikey off "What do you both like in your Omelets?" "Gerard sit the fuck down" Mikey hissed was I confused? Was Mikey the boss of this Gerard guy, that seemed to scare me so much?

I heard Gerard mumbled something before a chair scraped harshly against the floor "What about Mr. And Mrs. Way? what do they like in their omelets?" I asked, Platting two of them and placing them in front of Mikey and Gerard "They went to work early this morning." I nodded before placing a pancake, sausage, and muffin on their plates. and then went about cleaning.

"You're not eating?" Gerard questioned through a mouthful of food, I turned and looked at him quizzically "No one told me I was allowed to" I mumbled, Mikey and Him shared a look before They both swallowed thickly "You don't have to be told to eat. Lexie" Mikey said I shook my head "I'm not hungry anyway" They both frowned and I went back to cleaning...

They probably think I'm a freak...
