Chapter 2
Ayannah's POV
I grinned as Eliza introduced herself. Yeah, it was incredible that I got away from the god-awful year of 2020, but I get to meet Elizabeth Hamilton and live my dream? That's just insane.
"Ma, do you think you could take care of the cuts on Aya's face?" Philip asked, while rocking the small child that was still screaming.
"Of course, Aya, honey, go sit on that couch for me. I'll be right back" Eliza left the room and I sat down.
I looked over at Philip and Holly, who was still screaming and crying no matter what he did. "Can I see her?" I asked Philip.
"Sure," Philip handed me Holly. She screamed more leaving her brother's arms then she did leaving her mother's.
I bounced my leg and rocked little Holly. She started screaming slightly less but not much. Holly got very fascinated by the strings of my hoodie. I tucked them into my shirt so she couldn't hurt herself and I booped her nose. She busted out laughing. I grinned, I've always wanted a little sibling but my parents always told me no, then my mom got the job promotion and everything changed.
I started making funny faces at Holly to get her to laugh more. She grabbed my face but I pulled her hands away she didn't get blood on her hands. I saw a doll sitting on the floor and picked it up. Holly giggled as I handed it to her. I continued to rock her until she slowly drifted to sleep.
"Here" I whispered to Philip, while handing him Holly.
"How'd you do that?" He asked, stunned.
I shrugged. Eliza came back in and smiled when she saw Holly asleep in Philip's arms. "Oh good you finally got her to sleep Pip"
Philip shook his head slightly. "Actually Aya did it"
"Wow, Holly's usually not good with new people, you're amazing Aya" Eliza said while wiping down the cuts on my face with a wet towel.
I gave a small smile. I would've smiled more but I didn't want to mess up what Eliza was doing to my face. Eliza finished by putting some bandages on my face. I was slightly worried about the cuts getting infected, but I knew that most of the stuff I would do to a cut, hasn't been invented.
"Do you need help getting to your family?" Eliza asked.
"I don't have a family" I said quietly.
"Oh sweetheart!" Eliza hugged me. "You can stay here as long as you need ok?"
I smiled. I've known Eliza for 5 minutes and she's already been more motherly to me then my mother even was. "Thank you so much"
Philip came from another room in the house and stood next to his mother. "Where's everyone else?" He asked.
"Upstairs" Eliza answered. "I made Angie and Junior keep them occupied. Although William is in his room, he got a time out for throwing toys" Philip nodded. "Can you take over for Angie and have her help Aya get one of her dresses"
"Yeah, come with me Aya" Philip lead me upstairs. "I'm gonna get Angie, wait here. I don't want the little ones trampling you"
I laughed. "I can handle it" I said sticking my hands on my hips.
Philip looked back at me and smirked. "Sure. I'll let you 'handle it' after you get changed" I playfully rolled my eyes. "Angie, come here!" He called into a large looking room.
"Coming!" A girl's voice called. A girl about my height came through the doorway. "Yes?" She turned yer head and saw me. "Oh hi!"
"This is my little sister, Angelica" Philip said.
Angelica curtsied. "You can call me Angie. Angelica is my aunt's name and I don't like getting mixed up with her."
"I'm Ayannah, but I go by Aya. Mostly because my name is too long and I don't like it very much"
"Aw why? It's so pretty"
I shrugged. "Angie can you give Aya a dress" Philip asked, well more said.
Angie nodded. Philip went into the large room and Angelica lead me down the hall. We walked into a room and she opened a closet door. "Here. Pick any of my dresses, they should fit you. If you need help I'll be just outside the room."
"Thank you"
I stared at the closet in awe. I've always wanted to wear a dress like this. Lucky for me, I've done so much research that I should be able to get in on with minimal help. I look through the dresses to see if I can find one I like. My eyes set on a lavender dress with long sleeves. I look through the back of the closet to see if I can find a stay. The sports bra I'm wearing is not gonna cut it.
I manage to get the stay on, with only minor difficulty. I slide the dress on no problem. Ok now the hard part. Tying the back of the dress. I turned the stay around to tie it but I can't do that with the dress.
"Hey Angie, can you come tie the dress for me?" I called.
Angie walked in and smiled. "That dress is gorgeous on you, purple never looked very good on me" She said while tying the dress.
I looked down and noticed that the dress came to the floor. "Hey my leg is hidden" I whispered.
"What's wrong with your leg?" Angie asked.
"It's metal" I say nonchalantly while pulling the dress up so she can see it.
Angie's eyes widened. She crouched on the floor to look at it. "That's so cool!" She exclaimed. She looked up at me. "I wanna loose a leg now"
I laughed. "Maybe one day you can be as cool as me" I said flipping my hair.
Angie busted out laughing. "Come on, I'll introduce you to the rest of the boys"
