It was the next day and i was finally going home. I was only here for a few days but it seamed forever, definitely with the white walls caressing my vision. And i could finally have a shower because i was in desperate need for one.

Jacob drove home. Most of my brothers were already at home, except for Issac of course. He wasn't really speaking to me because he was still pissed, and so was i. I loved him but he knows how to push things too far.

I got in the house and went straight up to my room. I jumped on my bed seeking the comfort of it, but it was accompanied by a throbbing pain in my head. I ignored it despite it hurting and i cuddled up in my duvet. Within minutes i was fast asleep, and it was the best sleep i think I've ever had, apart from that times you get back home after being on a long flight back home.

I got woken up by someone sitting on my bed, I wanted to ignore it but my curiosity forced me to open my eyes. When i did open them I saw Libby. We looked at each other blankly for awhile before we both dived into a humongous hug. I was so glad to see her, I'd missed her face so much.

"You don't understand how happy i am to see you." We both pulled away from the hug smiling.

"Me too, you've been gone for so long what happened?" She asked, she looked slightly worried.

"I fell down the stairs, cracked my head open and passed out, you know the usual." We laughed.

"I knew you were clumsy but i didn't know you were that bad. I'm glad your okay."

"Me to, although my brothers were even more annoying than usual, especially Issac." I slumped back down in my bed and Libby climbed under the covers and sat next to me.

"Oh god, i can imagine."

"You have got to tell me about Alex, now!" I pointed my finger at her half serious half laughing.

"Well, he took me home the night we were at yours. We've been sitting next to each other at lunch and texting. Oh and he said he wants to take me out next week." She smiled shyly.

"Like a date?"

"No its not a-"

"Omg Alex is taking you on a date!" I said a little too loudly.

"shh, the whole street will hear you."

"Good!" I jumped out of bed quickly and ran downstairs.

Everyone was in the Kitchen and Libby was a few steps behind me.

"Guys Libby's got a date!" As soon as i spoke Libby covered my mouth with her hands, but i got away from her.

My brothers didn't really show any expressions and just stared until Cory spoke.

"Does your brothers know?" He asked.

"It's only Alex" Liam spoke up and then took a sip of his drink.

"You guys want to play a board game or a game on the Wii?" Toby asked, Most of us nodded.

"I've got to go to work and so does Jacob so Caleb your in charge. And you misses be careful." He muffled my hair which annoyed me a little bit.

Around 10 minutes later Issac and Jacob had gone to work and we were still deciding what to play.

"Why don't we play monopoly?" Cory suggested.

"NO!" Me and Liam shouted at the same time. "Unless its on the Wii." I said.

"I vote Mario party or that quiz game you have." Libby said.

"Ooo yes lets play the quiz party game." Leo said.

"Okay then that's settled, quiz party it is." Caleb said as he goes to the cupboard to get the game.

................................................................................................

"You cheated!" Toby said in a mood.

"No i didn't I'm just smart." I boasted happily.

"She's not going to shut up about this for a while you know that right." Caleb said falling deeper into the couch.

"Haha i win, your all losers." I strutted into the kitchen to get myself a drink and everyone followed.

"I'm hungry." Liam stated.

"Get some food then." Leo said blankly.

"Order something, i'll use Issacs card" Caleb said.

We ended up getting pizza as we usually do. Libby stayed for tea as well before Leo drove her home.

"I have a question." I asked, dying to ask the question that had been on my mind for a while.

"Go on." Cory said.

"Where's dad?" I asked nervously.

"None of us know he just look of and left a note." Caleb replied leaning against the counter.

"What did the note say?" I asked.

"That he has to leave for a bit and that he will be back." Caleb said.

"Oh okay, well I'm gonna go upstairs." I said turning around.

"Shout if you need anything." Liam said walking past and beating me to the stairs.

I got up to my room and lied down on my bed thinking. Everything seamed fine but i know it wasn't. Things going on with dad where awful, even if he's gone we all have to live knowing he's a criminal. Things with myself aren't good, i feel myself falling apart inside. I still grieve over mum, i miss her and i wish i could speak to her. My mind hurts because i think to much, thoughts are consuming my brain. I feel as if there's an invisible darkness that's causing me to be down all the time, like leaving me in a room with no light. It doesn't show much because I've learnt to hid it but its always there. I wanted to disappear for a while, away from anyone or anything. To be alone, but being a lone scared me.
