I walked down the stairs barely able to grasp what was going on all i new was that mum and dad and uncle Joe were gone Joe and dad wouldn’t hurt me anymore and mum wouldn’t make me come meet her ‘new’ friends, i loved them both but they all seemed to hate me or couldn’t bare to be near me the only one who could was my brother Danny i loved him with all my heart he looked after me helped me when i was stuck i needed him he WAS my only family as far as i was concerned.

I walked down holding the picture of me mum dad Joe and Danny on are holiday that i ended up in hospital because mum throw me down the stairs and Joe and dad kicked the crap out of me until Danny saved me from them, i owe him my life, i loved them so much and they didn’t care about me at all, and to this day i still love them though im glad there is no more abuse but i still miss them, i looked up at Danny and he took my hand in his, his big hand clutching mine i looked at are hands and then smiled for the first time in 2 days, Danny saw and smiled at me and walked me to the car he put me in the back then went round to the drivers side and drove to are new house that mum and dad had bought.

They were going to send us to this house when i turned 15 and Danny would be 19 so he would be able to take care of me until i moved out but i was only 13 and Danny was only 16 i looked up at the house and didn’t understand how or why they would leave us such a big house it had over 15 bedrooms that had a walk in wardrobe and a bathroom in everyone and two bathrooms downstairs there was also a games room a kitchen, a dinning room, living room, dance room, ball room, bar, cinema room, an inside pool, an outside pool and a calming down room that was padded and filled with soft stuff im guessing to take your anger out on then there was also a gym and a basement and a wine cellar and a food storage thing that was already filled to the top of everything we will need this made me think that they truly did love us but i could just be mistaken and this is so they didn’t have to look after us, i walked in and looked at Danny “go find a room jojo” he said smiling at me i smiled back and hugged him and ran upstairs to find my perfect room i found it.

it was the first one i walked in to it was massive it had a big Balcony and a tree right out side it to the left i could climb that if i wanted to sneak out i giggled and then looked outside i had an amazing view, i looked up and there to the right was a ladder stuck to the side of the house i looked at it the smiled ‘cool i can get on the roof’ i smiled to my self knowing that nobody would be able to find me if i went up their and i could just think by myself i smiled to myself and closed my eyes and leaned against the wall looking out towards the view, just then Danny walked in and i jumped out of my skin and screamed at him he realised he scared me “im sorry jojo come hear” he said holding his arms out i ran to him and smiled “its ok old habits die hard” i smiled at him he nodded “jojo what do you think about me asking some of my mates to move in with us and you can ask one friend to move in as well as long as its a girl” he said sternly i smiled at him and nodded “good iv already arranged mine to come round so they will be hear later ok jojo so go and get dressed” i nodded and hugged him and then ran back inside i loved his friends but they were to protective of me and they also thought i was cute and fit and hot but Danny always made them stay away from me when i didn’t want it or he smacked them when they stared at me i giggled remembering the first time i met them (their is keegan, josh, cody, brady, bryan, james, zack, drake, tony, peter, stuart, sam and dennis) then i herd Danny shout to me “jojo hurry up im doing lunch” “ok” i shouted back,

then i walked over to my dresser and then got out my black v-neck top and a tight skirt that stopped mid thigh i new Danny wasn’t going to like it but he doesn’t get to chose what i wear he is not my dad i cringed remember the bad times but then jumped in the shower and shaved my legs and under my arms and then washed my hair and jumped out i got dressed and then put on my dollies.

Then i walked slowly down the stairs and then stopped half way down the boys had arrived and they were all looking at me i blushed and smiled they all smiled except for Danny of course “FOR FUCK SAKE GUYS STOP LOOKING AT HER AND GO SIT DOWN” he growled they all took their eyes of me except for Bryan i looked at him and he looked at me then i walked down stairs and walked past him but he still didn’t move his eyes followed me and i just rolled my eyes then Danny came over to Bryan “BRYAN” he growled and Bryan shock his head as if to bring him back to reality “JOJO” Danny growled i walked into the living room where everyone else was and he stared at me with flames in his eyes “go change now” he spat through his teeth i flinched at the venom in it and fought to keep the tears from coming i blinked a few time and then took a deep breath “why” i said quietly although i already new the answer it was because of them staring at me but now they were watching his every move “because how are they so-post to concentrate when all they can do is stair at you!” he said slowly trying to lose all his anger “jojo im sorry” he said and walked over to me i didn’t realise i was crying then all the boys stood up and apologised to me and Danny and said they would try not to stair i laughed,

I decided i would help out the boys and go change, i walked up stairs only to find that Bryan was in my room looking out the big window at the view “hello what are you doing in hear” i said then i walked in and touched his shoulder and he flinched when he noticed that i was looking at him “oh sorry jojo i didn’t realise someone came in i was just looking at the view its beautiful” he said “its ok i know i couldn’t stop looking at it earlier it is beautiful i have to agree with you their” i said smiling and looking at the view i heard him mumble something but then he stood up and walked out

i changed into skinny jeans and but kept my top the same and put my brothers hoddie on and my black ugg’s and walked back downstairs i walked in the living room and smiled at Danny he looked at me and then mouthed thanks i smiled at him

I noticed their was nowhere for me to sit i frowned “hey where am i so-post to sit and don’t even think about saying the floor” i said to them all they all looked at me and smiled then i realised that they were all walking towards me with grins on their face i screamed and ran and they followed me but me being stupid ran out side and the stopped right before the pool and then took a deep breath and turned around and Brady and Bryan looked at me and smile and pushed me i screamed “sssshhhhiiiiittttt” when i plunged into the pool water filled my lungs and i fond it impossible to breath i heard gasps and shits but i couldn’t bring myself up to the top to breath so Danny dived in and pulled me to the top again and i started choking and coughing everyone was looking at Bryan and Brady and they looked shocked

“im-im sorry i didn’t realise...” Brady started to say but James cut him off “Danny shouted that she couldn’t swim and look she almost died” he growled “sssssssttttttoooooooppp” i whispered through my chattering teeth they all looked at me “iitt was j-just a gameeee ok they dddiiidddnntt no ok leave it at ttthhhaatt” i said slowly and then keegan looked at me and helped me out of the pool and then helped Danny out josh ran and got me and Danny a towel and then i went upstairs to change

I looked around my room but i couldn’t find my trackies i looked out my room and outside a door there were some ones trackies i didn’t think they would mind so i ran and got them i checked to see if they were clean and then put them on and grabbed the hoddie that was next to it and then walked down stairs they all looked at me and laughed and then i looked down theses clothes were big but i didn’t have any left until i unpacked i looked around the room and saw keegan smiling at me and blushing a bit “sorry keegan i didn’t have anything left until i unpacked” i said blushing he stood up “its ok don’t worry about it you do look cute and very tiny in my clothes though do you want a hot chocolate” i smiled he always new how to make me happy i nodded and then jumped in his seat Danny chucked me a pair of his fluffy socks and i smiled “thanks Danny” “its ok sis and don’t worry we will all unpack in the morning and i need a favour” he said with a cheeky grin all the boys smiled “what do you want Daniel” i said using his full name
