To see outfits and character pictures head on over to Polyvore Noellamonster. Thanks for reading and please review!

I didn't want to get out of bed, it was warm and soft, my body wrapped in layers of blanket. But the sound of the door opening made me turn, it was Alex with a grimace on his face. He was in jeans and some band hoodie as he stared at me.

His voice was low, not wanting to be heard "Mom is here with her new boyfriend, and plus we are helping the twins into their new place. Your truck is needed, so get out of bed," then without a smile, or words he shut my bedroom door, he was upset this was his upset attitude. I was up having to dress, I comb through my hair, until it hung like a two-colored curtain down my back. I hooked my bra as fast as I could without messing up, a gray short sleeve tie dress with my new barefoot sandals with antiqued square turquoise jewel with the ankle lace is sprinkled with * yellow, turquoise and orange ceramic beads and a touch of * orange and turquoise glass seed beads. I grabbed my hand-crafted metal hoop earrings and necklace, it had a warm copper color, gold and turquoise as well. I was ready after admiring my choices, knowing mother was waiting with her friend had me taking my time.

My father left for work, it was nearly ten, I was off and the twins moved into their own apartment today, we are moving all the boxes and things over so my truck was needed. I turn taking my bag with my cell inside walking from the room making sure to shut the door, I resented my own mother for skirting around behind my father's back, they kept it hushed so the town never found out, but she moved out and we have not spoken. My father was a damn good man and she was something awful to have betrayed him like that, good men don't fall from trees.

Alex was waiting with Kyle, who soon joined our group of freaks after he was seriously hurt by a drunk driver, his father now knew but we had his allegiance after saving Kyle. But both boys stood at the door waiting, my mother was at the entrance to our kitchen with a man I knew, the same Doctor who treated me and my father, I walk into the room.

I made my voice chipper 'Ready boy's?" I smiled, when I felt rage boiling inside, I was learning from Isabel and Max how to control my powers.

Her voice was just as chipper "Hello my darling," she moved to hug me, I gave her one back.

"Mother, sorry but we have plans. I hope you and this scum have a great day, but not here," my smile never wavered as she paled looking ill. She was also angry, I was normally very caring but the fact was she ruined our family, and I resented her and him.

"Crimson, what has gotten into you, young lady. This is my boyfriend," she smiled now.

"I and the boys are helping the twins into their new apartment. So you need to go, you're not welcome here." I urged, she stood straighter now.

"Crimson, sometimes marriages don't work," her voice low and hurt but now Alex cut in instead of bottling it up.

His voice deep and nerdy "Yeah because one decides to go behind the others back with a doctor, a down grade really. Go now, mom. We have plans," this was the end, she walked out with her boyfriend, maybe things could be better but not right now.

Kyle and Alex jump in as I start the engine "You two are ruthless," Kyle chimed in from the back, we scoffed together.

"No just angry," Alex was the one to say because I was angry, we are both closer to our father. He was this important figure and he still made time for us, time for our family.

The apartment was in a better neighborhood, the Jeep and two dirt bikes rested out front of the old trailer they used to live in as I parked behind Max's jeep as he walked out with a box in hand and a smile on his face.

He spoke "Good morning, you're just in time," I kissed his cheek walking into the trailer, it was sold already, they used the money wisely.

I jumped on Liz as she was stacking books into another box "Hey, Lizzy," taking a seat with her, adding their books, making sure they're neat as she groans.

Her answer was not surprising "My parents are really being harsh on Max, and I,"

I retort "You both stayed out all night, not like they're being unreasonable, Liz. Just let them know, he is your choice and they must deal. Just as you will deal with your punishment," I closed the filled box as she taped it closed.

Was retorted "I said the same thing," Max smiled picking the box up.

"You hush," Liz smiled placing a small kiss to his lips.

"Hey Crimson, Liz," Maria yawned walking through the front door, heading where the sounds of the twins reside.

We carried boxes letting Kyle put them in the bed of my truck when Bren walked out, shirtless with Isabel who looked to be crying. She gave me a weak smile "Going to go grab, coffee and food," then she drove off, this was not like her. I would corner her later and demand answers.

Bren walked over, his very muscled arms coming around me "Morning," was all he said, his forehead placed on mine just this simple touch was needed. We feel un-whole but better like this, together, he said he knew the missing section was his brother, I refused to think such a thing.

Maria and Michael walk out at that moment boxes in hand, a small look said enough. "Better get this done, love," he smiled taking my hand as we all headed back in.

I kissed Michaels cheek as we passed "Come on, Maria we girls can pack and the boys load my truck. You don't need to be with him every minute you two are in the same room," it was Liz and I dragging her into the trailer to pack, Isabel gave Liz and I coffee and a curt look to Maria.

Her tone was also curt "Coffee is over there, food too," but I stay and pack up another box when a paper plate was hitting my nose, pizza was on it.

I glanced up smelling Michaels scent, just a tad different than Bren's. "Thanks," I smiled as he helped me to my feet.

"Yeah, no problem. You look very beautiful today. We have a few more boxes and that's it," he mumbled, his voice tense with emotion, deep with his hidden feelings.

Another week has passed. I was now not grounded, my father was very upset with my disrespect towards our mother. He understood but was still firm on us trying to be a spate family, which ended up with me screaming, glasses breaking and the loud squeal of my tires.

So, I dressed in jeans, and a black tank top paired with an over shirt and my black boots, I walked out ten minutes later with Alex, we drove off in separate cars. Everything was great until lunch, I sit with Isobel as the other go to grab their lunch. A girl walked over, her hair was blonde, she had big blue eyes my fingers dug into the table as she started to speak.

"Can I join you girls, I am new here." She smiled as Isabel gave me a look her hand covering mine.

Isabel answered in a sweet fake tone "Of course," she steered the conversation towards the boys and girls of the school, as I gave the rest a warning look, they moved to the grass area instead of the table. Bren looked worried along with his brother.

She gave me a smile "Hello, I am Tess Harding," her hand out to me.

I smiled back as our hands touched "Hello, Tess. I am Crimson," trying a tone like Isabel's. Flashes filled my open eyes. A baby, brown eyes and dark hair, no powers, in danger, she was a danger.

Alex dead on the floor of Kyles room.
