JESSICA'S P.O.V.

Jess wake up it's time to get ready for school!" my dad yelled. I groaned and looked at the clock sure enough it was 6 in the morning. Ugh why does school have to start so early. I rolled out of bed and started to get ready for school. I curled my hair into soft ringlets cascading down my back. Then I got dressed in skinny jeans, my floaty yellow tank top with ruffles and a dark blue jean jacket. After I finished getting ready I had fifteen minutes till the bus came. So I went downstairs and found dad in the in the kitchen making his breakfast. I got a toaster pastry out of the freezer and made that for my breakfast. It popped out of the toaster just as the bus arrived, so i grabbed my toaster pastry and back pack and got on the bus and sat in the back. I put my headphones in and blared Ed Sheeran's, One Direction's, and Little Mix's music till I got to school. When I got to school I took my headphones out and went to first period which too my luck was english.

Time skip 4:00 pm

"Dad I'm home!" I yelled. Getting a yogurt out of the fridge. I walked into his office and saw him paying bills so I decided to go hang out in the woods that's next to our house. "Dad i'm gonna go hang out in the woods I'll be back by dark or if you text me." I told him and walked out when I saw him nod and okay. I went to a nearby stream that i found last year. I had a little fort built there that I built with my cousin Shawn last summer after I found the stream and he's the only other one who knows its their. I come here alot when i'm stressed, sad, or just need some time to think. I have a tent, campfire pit, and a wall around three sides of it with a door in one of the walls there. It was about four thirty when I got there so I decided to start on dinner. I went to the stream and filled the bucket and filled it with stream water and started a fire to boil the water. then i got my fishing pole and caught a fish and roasted it over the fire and had a nice little dinner outside. I like being outside it reminds me of when I was little and i'd go camping with my parents. Then my mom left us and i'm an only child living in london with my father. I go to the London arts it's a school where we mainly study singing, acting, art, instrumental talents, and literary arts. We also have the normal classes but they're not as long as the arts classes. I got accepted for the singing program. My dad always used too tell me that I had a twin brother out their that can sing too, but I don't believe him. I was jolted back into reality when my phone started vibrating. I looked down at the screen and noticed that it was just my alarm telling me It was time to go back to the house. I picked up all my stuff and put out the fire and headed back to the house. I got back to the house at about seven thirty and i went straight to my room too do my homework. I got done at about eight so i went to the living room and watched two episodes of Criminal Minds with my dad then I went up to be at ten.

TIME SKIP NEXT DAY

It's friday and I just want to sleep but my alarm went off at six again. I groaned and got out of bed and and threw on a pair of jeans, my neon purple "I'm not perfect i'm original" t-shirt, and a bright pink zip up hoodie. I didn't feel like doing anything with my hair and since it's late November i decided to leave it down to cover my ears. Then I went downstairs and had some toast. I grabbed my bag and walked out the door to get on the bus and I noticed my car was the only one in driveway so my dad must of left early this morning to get a headstart on one of his cases. Yes I know a sixteen year old girl that can drive and has a car riding the bus to school. I prefer to ride the bus because it gives me time to think. I had extra long choir practice this morning so I went to the choir room when I got to school. I was the first one in the choir room so I sat at the piano and started playing "Everybody Lies"

"everybody lives and everybody dies

Oh it doesn't matter if it's out there somewhere

waiting for the world to find

or buried deep inside

or buried deep inside

everybody lies"

As I finished playing I heard clapping behind me. I quickly turned around on the bench and saw Mr. Reed the band teacher just casually leaning against the door frame. "You know Jessica you'd be perfect in the instrumental arts program." He said to me. "I don't know I have Choir and homework and i'm just not sure if i'm ready to add the extra stress." I told him. "Well if you change your mind give me a call." he said handing me a business card. Then he turned and walked out of the room. I put the card in my bag just as Ms. Prentice walked in with the rest of the class. We started working on our Christmas song for the school recital. My dream is to become a famous singer. My favorite song so far is "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" When we got done with Choir practice i went to lunch with my best friend Stacy cause we had practice all morning.

TIME SKIP 3:00

I got home on the bus and saw my dad's Range Rover in the driveway. He was supposed to be gone till late tonight. That was the first thing that set me on edge the second thing was that was that he was sitting at the dining room table and not in his office getting work done. He was just staring at the table. "Dad What's wrong?" I asked walking over to him. "Your mother died yesterday in a car crash with her three best friends, So there boys and your brother Jacob are coming to live with us." He told me. "What are their names?" I sighed. "Jason, Joshua, and Jackson." He told me. "When do they get here?" I asked. "Tomorrow" He said walking out of the room. I started freaking out so I ran upstairs and grabbed my Ipod of the charger and ran to the stream. I turned on my Ipod and blasted "Don't grow up" by taylor swift my mom used to sing it too me when I was little. I sat against one of the walls and just cried thinking why did they have to show up now. I just got my life back on track after slipped into depression after my grandmother died. I just got accepted into the most prestigious school in London and now four boys are coming into my life and their gonna ruin it and what if I fall In love with one of my brothers friends. I finally stopped crying and got too flustered to think so I got a hand sized block of and my carving tools out of a chest I had their. I let my mind wander and I ended up carving a small puppy. I was sitting there for a couple of hours before Dad called and told me to come home. I ran home and up to my room and slammed my door shut and just cried into my pillow. I heard a knock on the door. "It's open." I said. My dad came in and sat at the foot of my bed. "I know you're not happy about this but he is your brother and I couldn't let his closest friends go to an orphanage." He said I just nodded and gave him a big hug. After my little meltdown we went downstairs and had supper. Then I went and did my homework. It was math and english so my homework took me about an hour. I finished it up and went downstairs to watch Law & Order SVU with my dad.

TIME SKIP NEXT DAY (SATURDAY)

I woke up at 10:00 today is Saturday, It's also the day my twin brother and his friends come to live with us. We have to pick them up at noon. My dads dragging me with him too the airport I don't get why I have to go to. I just want too got to the stream and never come back. I got dressed and to go anyway because I knew I wasn't getting out of it. I wore my "this is my happy face" t-shirt, blue jeans, and a green zip up hoodie that says "I'm Irish and i'm proud" on the back. I went downstairs and had of Fruit Loops. Dad came In a couple minutes later wearing Jeans and a white t-shirt. He made some toast and we got into the car and I plugged my phone into the radio and blasted "Mean Girls" by Rachel Crow. my dad and I belted out the words too the song he may be a hotshot lawyer but he's really laid back and fun at home. When we got to the airport we were a half hour early so we went to starbucks and just talked. There plane landed so dad held up a sign that said "Jacob, Jackson, Jason, and Joshua." Five minutes later four boys came over to us. The tallest one had blonde hair, the one next to him had quiffed up brown hair, the third one had buzzcut brown hair, and the last one had ear length hair styled like justin beiber. They introduced themselves bieber hair was Joshua, buzz cut was Jason, quiff was Jackson, and the tall blonde was my brother Jacob. They all hugged me when the realised I was Jacobs sister. I stood there as stiff as a board while dad just laughed at my expression. They finally let me go and went to retrieve their bags from baggage claim. We then headed to the car. Dad made me sit in the back because he wanted me to get to know them. If looks could kill he'd so be six feet under right now. I sat in between Joshua and Jacob but i put my headphones in and listened to music the whole way home. When we got home as soon as I got out of the car and took off running. I ran till I got to the stream did I mention I used to be on the track team. I went and sat on the stump by the fire pit. I sat there for five minutes before I felt the need to draw. I went to the tent and got my sketchbook and pencil pouch. I spent a good two hours drawing a picture of a girl in a long white gown, sitting on a stump in front of an ivy wall, holding a rose and crying as she watches the petals fall from it. On the bottom in fancy handwriting I wrote "Life Doesn't Always Go As Planned." That's the last thing I remember my mom saying as she walked out of my life forever. I put my name and the date at the bottom of the drawing then I put my stuff away into its chest and went back to the house so dad wouldn't be worried. When I got back I told dad I was back and went to my room. I decided to the mentalist so I turned my TV on and put it on. I was In the middle of my fourth episode when there was a knock on my door. "It's open." I yelled. My dad walked in carrying my dinner because I didn't go and eat with them. I paused the show and looked him. "Whatcha need dad?" I asked "Jacob and the boys really want to get to know you, ya know." he told me. "Dad he popped out of nowhere with three friends and he's going to audition for my school how would you act if this happened to you!" I yelled at him. He just sat there. "See you would feel the same way." I said. "What do you want me to do, pretend I like someone I don't?" I asked him. "No I just want you too give them a chance. It's not like I'm asking you to tell them all your secrets, show them your secret hideout, or tell them all about your past." He said. I nodded and gave him a hug and he walked out.

JACOB'S P.O.V.

I was downstairs with the boys, wondering why Jess won't talk too me. I really want to get to know her and be the brother I never got a chance to be. The boys want to get to know her to see how we're gonna be living with her. I wonder why mom never told me I had a twin sister. The boys are playing video games. Maybe I should go talk to her but Justin told me to give her a couple days to get used too the idea of having a brother. I looked up at the clock and saw it was 10:00. "Boys i'm going to bed see ya in the morning." I said and went into my new room that I share with Jack. I plugged my phone in and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
