Being the youngest out of 8 boys is difficult. It seemed that the trail of good looks and talents and finished it course before it reached me. My brothers who are all good looking and talented were popular. They were happy at least until I came alon...
"C'mon boys! It's time to go shopping!" Mother yells out. I stand near the door. In the kitchen.
"Coming, mom!" I hear a chorus of voices ring out.
Then the stomping of boots as all of my brothers hustle down the stairs.
I watch as each and everyone of them is handed money before taking off to the car. Finally Ashton gets his and runs out to the car. I walk out of the shadows over to my mom. She hands me a few dollars and walks outside. I count the bills. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. $5. She gave me $5. The lowest priced thing at the store we are going to is $173.99 I believe. And that's for a 2x2 piece of fabric. Yeah it's expensive. But what ever. I'll just give it to one of my brothers.
I climb into the car. Well the back. There aren't any seats left. We have a mini van. A weird one though. It has three seats in the front. Then three behind it and three more behind it. Then the back where I sit. It doesn't bother me. No ones in my space then. I get the entire back to myself. I'm a very...independent person if you couldn't tell.
"lyn! JAYLYN!" I hear a scream. I look up to see who was yelling my name. It was Silas.
I sit up, rubbing my eyes to get the sleep out of them. I jump out of the back, and stretch my muscles. I hear cracks in certain places making a relieved sigh escape me.
"C'mon Jaylyn. Everyone is waiting." I nod. Feeling heat fill my face as shame enters me.
"Sorry." I mutter.
"Whatever. Lets just go. Can't believe I was stuck with getting you." He mutters the last part under his breath but still loud enough for me to hear. Tears well in my eyes. I turn my face down towards the ground.
"Walk faster!" He growls out, frightening me.
I nod. Keeping my head down and pretty much wheezing my way to the building. We walk in. He instantly leaves me. I stand there, feeling light headed. I still can't breath. My lungs ache as my body starts to shut down.
"Sir are you okay? Sir!" A worker shouts at me. "Here." He shoves something in my mouth but I'm too far gone to know what. Then suddenly it all stops. I can breath again.
"Thank you!" I say quietly. He nods, wiping at the sweat on his forehead.
"Your welcome. My brother has asthma so I kinda knew a little what to do." He smiles at me.
His handsome face lighting up. His light green eyes light up as his pink thin lips pull back in a grin. His Raven black hair falls into his face to which he roughly shoves back. His dimples come into action as I look up at him.
"My names Kyle, what's yours?" He grins a boyish cute smile.
"Jaylyn, Jaylyn Shay." I give a small smile back.
"Oh, one of the richies I see." He jokes.
"I guess." I say. "I should get back to my family."
"Yeah, I should get back to work." He helps me up before starting to walk away. He stops before he can get very far though. "Do you maybe wanna go get some coffee or something sometime?"
I nod at him. "That sounds lovely."
"Wonderful." The boyish grin comes back. He walks over to me and grabs my hand. "Here's my number. Call me." He writes down a number: (123) 123-4567, with a pen I didn't know he had.
He walks away this time making it away. I smile and quickly pull out my phone. I put his number in my phone under the contact Kyle. Then I head to where I can see Ravens head high above the shelves. While I don't even reach the top of the display.
Walking over I hear Ajax and Sixx arguing. Ajax wants something that he's a few dollars short for and Sixx won't lend him the money. I walk over and they both instantly shut up once I reach them. I look up at Ajax and pull out the five dollars mom gave me. I grab his hand and place it in there before giving him a small sad smile and walking away. Looking around i spot something out of the counter of my eye. Walking over to it. I see it's a beautiful moonstone pendant. Light catches on the magnificent moonstone.

"Ravishing isn't it? You know they say that the moonstone picks the person." Someone says behind me.
"How much is if?"
"For you? Lets see." He pulls the necklace out and puts it around my neck. It hits the light beautifully. Glowing almost. "I see. It's almost impossible. This moonstone, one of the rarest of its kind. And it seems to have picked you." He taps his finger against his chin. I start to take it off but he stops me. "Keep it my beauty."
"I can't." I shake my head. "I shalln't be able to pay for it."
"No cost my darling." He shakes his head.
"I can't. Something so priceless shouldn't be worn by someone so worthless. It's just not meant to be. I'm sorry. Thank you though, but I can't. I don't deserve it." I take it off and very carefully hand it back to him. Making sure I don't actually touch the moonstone itself. I walk away. Sparing a glance at the beautiful moonstone one last time before spotting my family. I see them talking and laughing with one another. I stand back. Hidden in the shadows almost as if I wasn't there.
"Did you see his face! It looked like he was about the cry! Hahaha! What a pussy! Why is he even our brother? Seems like the ugly train ran into him!" My heart clenches. Tears stung my eyes. My breathing gets shallow.
But then I hear something. The magical sound of something. I don't know what. Sounds like a base guitar. The beat enters my body and calms my heart. I take a deep breath. Everything going back to normal. I sneak a peak out at my family and see them looking at a picture frame.
"Hey mom wouldn't this look good with the picture we took on our trip to Fiji?" River asks mom.
"Yeah River it would. Especially with the beach type boarder. Come on lets go pay."
