Where one thing falls another one grows. We all have a past and the future to some looks very bleak. He moved back in with his brothers to escape the toxicity of a life he had once been happy in. Meanwhile, she was found and given a home its when he arrives that things get a little hectic for everyone.
Chapter 1:
The taxi cab pulled up to the two-story home at the end of the street. He smirked to himself as he looked up at the old grey home. It didn't surprise him that they had chosen a place like this one. Just looking at it he automatically felt comfortable. The only thing that appeared off to him was the front garden and fenced in backyard. Maybe they had a dog? He paid the cab driver, grabbed his bag, and exited the car. When he walked up to the door he expected an answer on the first knock so by the third time something felt strange. He pulled out his phone and was about to press the send button when the front door opened.
A young woman stood there in the doorway. She had auburn hair pulled back into a shoulder length ponytail. Her blue green eyes stared at him with wonder. Typically in a scene like this when he watched the movies women wore shorts and a tank top, instead she sported a t-shirt that was three times her size and extremely baggy sweat pants.
"I'm sorry I must be at the wrong address. Do you know anyone on this street named Bryan Kuznetsov?" he asked
She closed the door without a word and left him standing there. Frowning, he picked his bag up and turned to leave when the door opened again. He looked over his shoulder to see Ian standing in the doorway with a smirk on his face.
"Took you long enough to get here." the borderline midget crossed his arms. "Its been awhile Tala."
The redhead smirked back and stood tall, "You guys picked a heck of a spot to live. I can't believe your living in a family kind of neighborhood."
Ian rolled his eyes and stepped aside to let his long time friend in. Inside the house it looked even more awkwardly home than the fence and garden outside. They'd come along way from how things had been when they were all kids. The house was 'different' but he liked it. Even the air inside was nice, defiantly better than his old apartment. It was a good feel, he was glad to be away. After everything that had happened in the past few months this was a breathe of fresh air. Footsteps sounded over his head, they sounded like Spencer, the guy couldn't help but walk a little heavy footed because of his height and weight. In another room he could hear Bryan talking most likely to the woman he had seen a moment ago.
"So when did Bryan get a girlfriend?" He asked looking around.
Ian chuckled in response before replying "She's our room mate. None of us are dating her."
His expression changed at that moment like something had dawned on him then it quickly disappeared to be replaced by a smirk Tala had grown up not liking at all. The redhead narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
"What?" he demanded more than asked
"Have you ever met her before?"
Tala opened his mouth to respond but was cut off by a hard slap on the back. The force of it caused him to stumble forward a couple steps. It was an all too familiar way of Spencer saying hello. He rarely ever spoke but when he did it always left its mark on you. The guy had a way with words.
"Nice to see you too." Tala grumbled while stretching upward to make the sting go away a little faster.
Quietly the blonde giant walked away heading towards what appeared to be the kitchen. As he walked through the doorway Tala heard a loud squeal followed by banging. He looked at Ian with curiosity as usual the dark blue haired boy smirked and walked away. Tala rolled his eyes and followed him into the other room. When he entered the kitchen he immediately stopped in his tracks to stare at the child that sat at the table. The room was silent as he stood there staring at the child. He sat in a booster seat at the table with little cheerios spread out all in front of him. His head was covered in red fuzz. A bib was wrapped around his neck. The thing that stood out the most were his ice blue eyes. Oddly enough Tala felt as though he were staring at an infant version of himself. Without thinking he walked up and looked at the kid more closely. The child simply sat there staring for a moment and then shoved a cheerio at him almost putting it up his nose.
"Welp looks like you were right." Bryan spoke up momentarily distracting Tala from the baby.
He watched Bryan dig his wallet out of his pocket and shuffle through it before handing Ian a ten dollar bill. It was gratefully accepted with a snicker before he waved it in thanks and exited the room.
"What was that about?" he asked
"Tala this is Ana and the little guy you were just admiring is her son Issac. They live here with us." Bryan explained gesturing to the two of them.
Finally he turned his blue gaze to look at her. She was leaned up against the counter quietly surveying the boys as they interacted with one another.
She had seen the others talk and joke but something about this one seemed to light a fire in their eyes that she hadn't seen before. He was tall but not nearly the same as Spencer and Bryan seemed to beat him by a couple inches as well. Judging from his outfit he seemed to enjoy staying fit so he probably had his own work out routine like the others. His blue eyes were like ice pretty to look at but cold inside. She had seen a look similar to that before except the other was much colder and more hateful inside. Brushing the thought aside she gave him a small smile and held out her hand. He looked at it and shook it light and quick. He seemed in a hurry to get away because he motioned for Bryan to follow and they left the room to speak amongst themselves. When they left she smiled at Issac and went back to washing the dishes again.
"Forgive him." Spencer spoke up
Ana turned to look at him surprised that he'd spoken up.
"He hasn't been himself in awhile. A long time ago he would've behaved much more mature than he did today."
She turned back around and continued the dishes again.
"Its ok." She replied "I'm new that's all."
"Glad you came. We haven't seen you in so long. You were always so busy in the city."
Tala let his eyes wonder around the living room before looking at his childhood friend again. "I know. A lot has happened and I'd rather not talk about it. Coming back here though feels like the best thing I could've done for myself. If I had stayed there a moment longer this crushing feeling inside would swallow me whole. No offense but if you don't mind can you show me where I'm staying."
Bryan narrowed his eyes before nodding. They both had a silent mutual understanding and when the time was right an explanation would be given.
"Upstairs lets go." he walked ahead to lead the way he was silent until they reached the last door on the right. "This is your room." he began to walk away but stopped and without looking back "Be nice to her Tala. I know it's a little weird with that kid looking like you and all but she's here so deal with it."
The redhead said nothing and entered his room. Inside it was empty with the exception of a bed, dresser, and bedside table with a small lamp on it. He dropped his bag on the floor and plopped face down onto the mattress. He lay there staring at the wall and closed his eyes, when he opened them again the room was shrouded in darkness signaling night had fallen. A rustling noise made him look towards his door which was now opened after he knew he'd closed it. Tala squinted his eyes in the darkness to notice a short dark shape making its way over to him. Quickly he reached out and found the lamp by his bed, when he turned the light on those baby ice blue eyes stared him in the face. His brow furrowed at the child at he stood there staring at Tala a thumb in his mouth and a blanket in his other hand. This kid really creeped him out.
"Go away." he whispered "Shoo."
Issac giggled and waved almost similar to the way Tala had been trying to shoo him out.
"Where's your mommy? Go on, go see her, she's gonna be scared if she can't find you." he said getting up off the bed.
The little boy looked up at him and raised his arms in a motion wanting Tala to pick him up. He frowned and took one of the little boys hands and led him to the door. A creak in the hallway made him look up to see Ana standing in the doorway, hands on her hips.
"What are you doing young man?" she asked squatting down to look her baby boy in the eye. "People are trying to sleep and its way past your bedtime young man."
Issac let go of Tala's hand and walked over to her. She scooped him up and stood with him in her arms. "Sorry he woke you." she said
He stepped back and closed the door without another word. The sound of her shuffling footsteps on the carpet disappeared after he heard her bedroom door close. Tala leaned his back against his door and slid down to the floor. He ran a hand through his hair and squeezed his eyes shut.
