In the morning I brushed my teeth and washed my face, I went down to eat breakfast while still wearing my new pajama.

Some black shorts with a white Tshirt, a panda was imprinted on it and it ate some bamboo. It was so cute. My hair was in a messy bun and my head felt pretty heavy.

I did sleep well, but I woke up in the night, because my brothers walked around in the house all night long. I think these guys never sleep. Maybe they are vampires.

Caleb was sitting in the kitchen with Jon, both were drinking coffee.

"Good Morning." I whispered shyly. I really wanted to say it louder, but I was afraid they would be mad at me. Victor could have told them about yesterday.

"Good Morning, sleepy head!" Jon chuckled, taking a sip from his cup. "Are you ready to have a fun day with Caleb?" Caleb looked up, he looked like he only realized now that I was here. "Sure." I replied.

"Fuck! I totally forgot I was looking after her today." he groaned. 

"Language!" Victor admonished Caleb, walking into the kitchen in his suit. Is he even changing his suit or is he maybe sleeping in them? 

"Can one of you guys watch over Liltih? I have things to do." Caleb groaned. 

"No." Victor looked blankly at Caleb. "I told you, today you will look after Lilith."

"I am sorry, Cally. I have work to do, because we left early yesterday." Jon apologized to Caleb.

"Uhm, I dont need a caretaker." I mumbled. "What was that?" Victor suddenly asked me.

"I can just stay at home today, I am old enough to take care of myself for one day." I tried to explain myself.

A day in my new room, would be chilling and I could finally think everything through.

"Lilith-" Victor started, he sounded angry. I rethought my explanation, did I say something wrong or was this counting as disobeying him. 

"Lilith." Jon interrupted him. "Today you will spend your day with Caleb, because that was the plan, but next week you can spend some time at home, okay?" 

I simply nodded. Thanks Jonathan, for always saving my ass.

"Go put some clothes on. I will wait outside for you." Caleb commended me, standing up, while rolling his eyes. He put his cup into the sink and left without another word.

Not having any other choices anymore, I ran into my room and took out a yellow tshirt and some black jeans with holes in them.

I wondered what Caleb had to do and what we would do the whole day. I really wished I could spend time at home or maybe even with Jon or Elijah. 

Caleb wasnt that mean yesterday, but he changed his mood pretty fast and I cant really tell how he is feeling. Spending time with somebody who clearly does not want to spend time with me is not very fun.

I let my hair open and put on some Mascara, before heading down.

Caleb wore some stylish clothes. He wore some black Joggers with chains hanging on the left side. A black and white stripped longsleeve Shirt and a white tshirt over it. He looked like the eboys I saw on tiktok.

I am impressed to see somebody dress like this in the real world. It suited him well.

"Come." He sat into his car and we drove off. 

"Where are we going?" I asked, but he ignored me.

Instead he turned on some music. It was not the kind of music I liked, but it was okey. I dont know why, but I  like the slowed versions of every song I found. 

I glanced at Caleb, why is he treating me like this? Well, he is nicer to me than Xander, but still.

We drove thirty minutes, parking near a park. 

He took a skateboard outside his trunk and walked ahead of me. When I saw some boys in Calebs age, I knew we where going to hang out with them.

They stood near a skatepark, they welcomed Caleb with one of these bro hug things that boys do.

"Bro, there is some chick following you around." One of them stated.

"Yes. I know." Caleb stated back, jumping on his skatebourd and driving away. What am I supposed to do know? Sit in the grass and watch him all day?

"So? You are?" The boy asked me, the other friends of Caleb already followed him but he still stood besides me.

"I am Lilith, Calebs younger sister." I introduced myself. 

"Oh, I did not know he had a younger sister." his voice was clearly suprised. "I am his best friend, you know. I never saw you at there house."

"I only moved in two days ago." I simply said. I am not revealing my whole life story infront of a stranger.

He shrugged and drove off as well. I watched him, I saw Caleb starring at me shortly then making some stupid trick. I rolled my eyes at him. What is wrong with my brothers? They ignore me, but still try to impress me or boss me around.

I turned around and walked away. I had enough, if he acted like a child, I will act like a child too. I am going to have some alone time.

I dont need Victors permission, or somebody watching me, not Jon, not Elijah and clearly not Caleb. I dont even want to start with Xander. When somebody had an attidude in this house then it was him, not me.

I felt good walking, I could not see the skate park anymore, but I only shake my head. I am 15 years old. I can take care of myself, I will find the way back.

I found a beautiful spot, there were a lot of trees and flowers bloomed around them. I walked up to a bench and spotted a small pond, a duck was swimming in it, when I sat down on the bench, there were some baby ducks.

My eyes softened. They followed their mom around and looked so cute.

I used to follow my mom around, too. Before she met Simon our life was pretty normal. She tried her best to raise me alone and I admired her, she was my hero.

When she cut her hair shoulder length, I tried to do it as well, to look like her. I made a mess out of my hair and there was no way to save my once long curly brown hair. I walked around like a clown, but mom still kissed me on my cheek and told me I looked beautiful. I was maybe six years old.

I did not notice tears rolling down my cheeks. Since the death of my mother I did not cry even once. My heart started hurting. "I am sorry, Mom." I whispered. I wanted to bawl like a baby, but I wiped my tears away. I need to be strong now, I can cry another time.

"Hi!" a voice suprised me. A boy sat besides me, when did he came here. "Are you okay?" 

"Y-yes, I am fine." I stuttered.

"Well, are you sure, you were crying." He said, raising he brows. "Where you stalking me?" I tried to change the subject.

"Yes." he blurted out, his cheeks turning red. "I mean, no, well I kind of saw you sitting here, and I never saw a girl sitting here, so I approached you and you were crying so I did not say anything. But I am not a creep, I swear! I only waited, so I could ask you, If you were okay." 

I started laughing. my cheeks heating up. "It is okay, thank you for checking up on me." I smiled at him.

"Do you want to go eat some ice cream? I was meeting up with friends, but I am free now." he suggested, looking awy from me, his cheeks were still red.

"I dont have any money and I dont think I can leave the park, I am here with my brother." I explained to him. 

He sighed. He looked kind of sad. "Do you maybe want to give me your phone number then? We could meet up another time?" 

"I did not memorize my number, but If you have a pen, you could write yours on my arm." I smiled at him, I am making my first friend in this city. I am so excited.

"Yes! I have one!" he looked happy and pulled out a pencil out of his backpack. He wrote it on my right arm. "I am Peter by the way."

"I am Lilith, it is nice to meet you."

"Well, I will take my leave now, so bye." He said, waving a me. 

"Wait!" I called him out, he turned around, his eyes were kind of sparkling, what is going on with him? "Could you tell me how to walk back to the skate park?"

His sparkling eyes faded. "Too good to be true." he whispered. 

"What did you say?" I did not quite catch it.

He shook his head, his ears getting kind of red. He explained me the road and drove of on his bicycle.

I followed his instructions and soon I was back at the skate park. I looked around, Caleb was nowhere to be seen and I could not even spot one of his friends.

I panicked a little, but decided to sit on a bench near the skate park and wait for him.

A while later, I saw Caleb, he ran to the skate park from the other directon. He looked stressed, looking around. His "best friend" behind him, telling him something. Then Calebs head shoot towards me. 

"Lilith!" he screamed. 

What was happening?

"Where were you?" he scolded me. "You were gone for two hours! I called Jon to get your phone number, but Victor told us then that he had your phone! We were all so worried about you!" he hugged me.

I dont know why, but the moment he hugged me I started breathing hard. My heart felt tight and I wanted to scream this feeling away. "Are you alright?" he asked me.

I was so irritated of his actions. He did not even talked with me when we got here, but he was worried about my whereabouts.

Even though the hug felt good and warm, and even though I could easily cry on his shoulders for hours I pushed him away.

"I was only walking in the park." I stated. Starring at the floor, my hands clenched to fists. "Are we going home, or what?"

Caleb looked down at me, his gaze became stiff and he looked like he was deep in his thoughts.

"Let's drive home." He told me, taking my shoulder and shoving me in front oh him.

The car ride was horrible. Caleb did not put music on, it was quite and the tension in the car told me already.

I was in trouble.

"Are you out of your mind! Were you even thinking?" Victor screamed at me.

Jon stood besides him, just shaking his head in disappointment.

I sat on the couch, Caleb was sitting next to me.

The twins leaned both against the wall, Elijah looked sorry for me, everytime I flinched when Victor screamed something at me, he closed his eyes. Xander smirked. He was enjoying himself.

"I did nothing wrong!" I stood up for myself.

"Nothing wrong? You walked away without even telling Caleb, you were away without any phone or any idea how to come back home? You could habe been kidnapped or somebody could have started beating you up!" My eyes widned. 

"Why would somebody beat me up? I was only walking around in the park!" he was crazy. 

"Caleb, what were you doing, when Lilith walked away?" Jon asked him, he did not aks him to help me, he asked him, to not answer my question.

"I was skating." 

Jon and Victor just nodded.

For real?

"He was not even talking to me the whole day, so I had no intetion to stay there and watch somebody who did not wanted me with him!" I raised my voice at them.

Jon looked between the both of us, he nodded, but Victor just glared at me a little longer, I felt Caleb glaring at me too. I am not sorry for ratting you out, Caleb.

Victor then just sighed. "Just next time tell Caleb and dont talk to people you dont know and dont follow anybody!" He pulled out my cellphone out his pocket. "I am giving it back to you, I saved all our numbers in your phone, I expect you to pick up, when we call you!"

I nodded fast, I could finally save Peters number and message him. 

When he gave me my phone, he furrowed his brows. "Whats that on your arm?"

"That looks like a phone number." Xander stated. Thank you, Xander. What would we do without you.

"It is a phone number." Elijah said, too. 

"Who wrote that, Lil?" Jon asked me. I smiled at him.

"I made a friend at the park. He talked to me, when I sat on a bench, he wanted to hang out, but I declined because walking out of the park would have been irresposible." I smiled proudly.

"He?" All of the five boys asked now. From the sentence, all they remembered was the word he?

I nodded. "Yes, Peter told me to write him, so we can hang out another time."

"No fucking way!" Xander spat. 

"Xanders right, Lilith. Even though he could have chosen another language, but you are not going to meet up with a boy." Victor told me.

"He is my friend." I assured them, I looked at Jon and at Elijah.

"You need to wash that off, Lil." Jon smiled at me sad. "Boys are no good."

I started shacking my head. "No." My eyes started to get teary. "I am not washing it off. You are boys, too."

"Boys in your age only want to fuck, there is no way he wants to be your friend." Caleb included himself in the conversation.

"Now, after erverything today, dont make me angry again, Lilith. No contact with any boys, go wash away this bullshit!" Victor grabbed my arm and dragged me behind him.

I screamed at him. Hitting his hand with my free one, but he did not loosen his grip. "Stop, he is going to be my friend! Stop it!"

Tears stormed down my cheeks, when we were in the bathroom, Victor washed my arm, Peter's phone number disappeared, like it was never even there.

After that Victor just left, leaving me behind. Crying, scared and hurt.

I only wanted one friend, why was it such a big deal that he was a boy. I was not even going to date him or make him my boyfriend. I only wanted a friend.

"Lilith." Jons soothing voice got my attention, I looked up to him, starring. He did not help me, he is the same. All of them are the same. I stormed off into my room.

I will shower and sleep, hoping school tomorrow will be better.
