I found myself falling in love with my room. The maids started hanging dark pink fabrics instead of the lighter color pinks. I found that I have a tv, and a whole network of gaming systems in my wall. I found it by just pushing a button on a small remote. When the wall slid open, and all this wonderful technology appeared I died a happy death. With maybe a lot of girlish giggles.
"So you ever seen Lord of the Rings?" Tommy asked with a little excitement. He has started hanging out with me ever since that first dinner. He jumped on my bed beside me.
I look at him giving a little smile, "I've seen it, do you like it?"
"I don't know I haven't seen it yet, and my brothers won't watch it with me." Tommy dropped his head.
Being a fan, and always ready for a movie night with Lord of the Rings, I quickly find the movies we would need. Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are my ultimate soul mates on the tv screen. I've seen almost every movie both of them stared in. "Let's watch it together, or do you want to watch it alone?"
Tommy smiled. "No I'll stay with you and watch it. You put it in, and I'll call Roxy to get us some movie snacks!"
"Sounds like a plan to me." I laugh. Roxy soon brings in a large bowl of popped corn and sugared pecan wheels. She also brought in two big sodas, and the glasses had curly straws.
"Tommy let's make Wednesdays our movie night. Just the two of us, yeah?" I offer smiling.
"I like that idea, and I'll let you pick the next movie." He scrunched up his nose, "No girly movies though."
I laughed, "Ok it's a deal."
We settled in and started watching the movie. Of course I love Lord of the Rings, but The Pirates of the Caribbean is still my number one. That's just because both actors I love play in it together. Thirty minutes in and Tommy was asleep on my arm. I didn't care I could still eat popped corn and watch the movie I loved.
To bad I fell asleep just as the war started up. The elves are so beautifully created in this movie, was my last coherent thought.
A loud thud outside my door accompanied by yelling woke me up. The credits were rolling up the tv and Tommy was curled into my side a pecan wheel stuck to his cheek. More yelling outside my door caught me off guard.
"How can you lose a little boy! Your own brother to be exact!"
"I didn't lose him he just hasn't shown up this evening. It's only ten o'clock. He will show up."
"You better hope she can help us find him, I'd hate to call dad home to tell him you lost our little brother."
"Shit... it's locked again." A loud knock sounded out from my door.
"Hey Jessica you in there?" Another knock, "She does know she doesn't have to lock is out twenty-four seven right."
"William just calm down I'm sure she knows."
"Well damn, I'm gonna hate when school starts. This is gonna be a pain trying to keep up with her and Tommy."
I snickered to myself before pulling my door open. "Maybe not to much of a pain. Tommy is asleep we had a movie night sorry if we worried you."
The look on William's face was hilarious. Jordan just shook his head, and held his hands up.
Jordan smirked, "I'd never call you a pain my dear." He looked at William. "Although William here is another story. May I retrieve Tommy, and take him to his room?"
"Sure just don't shake him to much, he's full of sweets." I move out of the doorway so Jordan can come in to pick Tommy up off my bed. William just stood watching me. His eyes gave off a cold blank stare as he looked from my food covered bed, and back to me.
The twins had been quiet until now. Tyler puffed up . "Awe I want a movie night with Jessica!"
"Yeah why can't we have a movie night with her. I'd love to cuddle and watch movies." James said, as he craned his head around to see inside my room.
"I'd watch anime, or movies with her, but I do like anime better." Tyler said cheerfully.
"Tyler your such an anime freak." James laughed.
"No I'm not I just like the story lines."
Jordan shook his head as he pushed the arguing twins down the hall little Tommy snuggled in his arms. "Go on you two, let's leave her alone tonight."
William sorta glared at me before turning and following behind the group of guys. "School starts Monday morning." He threw over his shoulder.
With that the hall was quiet once again, and I shut my door. I felt so small now that Tommy was gone, and I was left with a bed full of sweets and a blank tv.
Anime did sound good at the moment though. For some reason I felt like watching a simple one, so I went with Your Lie in April. This one always makes me cry. I get so into the anime shows, and feel like I can jump right in.
Roxy came in to clean up the mess, and I could tell she liked watching this one too because it took her a long time to clean my room. I fell back asleep on episode three. My new family could wait till morning.
I didn't even bother locking my door. For the first time, I felt ok with falling asleep, without having to lock myself in. Maybe, life here wouldn't hurt the way it did back home. I couldn't say I trusted my new brothers, but I don't feel afraid of them. Yet.
