"Kyle baby pick up the clothes off your floor we are not pigs" mum said, she never yelled, only when she was really mad and that was rare.
"Can't be arsed" Kyle sighed.
"Hey! Don't talk to your mother like that young man" dad yelled.

Rileys parents were opposites. Her mother was chilled and gentle were as her father was stern and serious.

Her parents were high school sweethearts. Rileys dad was a douche jock and her mum was a preppy cheerleader, what more needs to be said.

Dad walked over to her room "hey sweetie" he smiled at her, she smiled back.
"When are you leaving?" Riley played with her bracelet.
"Me and your mother will be leaving to get the taxi in about 20 minutes to go to the ball" he sat down on her bed and lay a careful hand on her knee.

"I don't want to leave you here with all these boys, but Charlie is back from college so he can take care of you" he scooped her up into his lap.
"They are mean to me dad" Riley looked up at her father with her big puppy dog eyes, he continued to rock her back and forth.
"If they are being nasty tell them I'll sort them out when I get back."

Riley knew that her dad treated her differently from the rest of her siblings. He was kinder almost, maybe it was because she was the youngest but she secretly thought it was because she was the only girl.

"Okay papa" she kissed him on his stubbly cheek.
"I better get dressed into my suit or your mum will kill me. Don't tell her but she scares me" he chuckled and left the room.

This was the first time in months her parents were leaving her alone with all five of her brothers.

Riley hated being alone with them, they were horrible, mean, vile and not to mention obnoxious.

Last time her parents left her with them they ended up throwing a big house party and locking her in the garage. She shivered at the memory of being stuck in the cold damp garage.

"William I told you the red tie" she heard her mum nag dad, Riley giggled.
"No the red one is horrid" he begged.
"William" she raised her voice slightly as a warning.

Riley grabbed her book, phone and headphones and started walking towards the stairs.

"What you reading nerd?" Kyle stepped in front of her so that she couldn't get passed.
"Harry potter" she muttered and tried to push past him, but he was too strong.
"Harry Potter" he mimicked her voice, she rolled her eyes annoyed.

Riley squirmed away quickly and ran down the stairs. Her brothers were horrible, horrible!

She entered the lounge to find the twins fighting on the floor. Mikey was there as well but he wasn't paying any attention to them. Ryan was punching Shawn in his belly, Riley tilted her head and watched them, animals.

"Dude why did you do that?" Ryan continued to beat his twin.
"You loved it really" Shawn laughed and punched back.

Riley didn't even have to ask, she already knew. Riley took in one breath of the rancid air and left quickly. Boys were gross.

She hovered around each room until finally deciding the kitchen would be the quietest place to read.

They needed a bigger house, eight of them lived under one roof and recently it felt crowded, more than usual.

Riley opened her book and the amazing smell of the paper pages reached her nostrils, she inhaled it in.

Riley eyes followed each word carefully, she turned the page. The sound of her mothers heels banged against the stairs.

Rileys eyes followed the sound and they landed warmly on her mum. Her mother was beautiful, Riley wished one day she could look like her.

"Hey sweetie pie" mum said entering the kitchen as she rubbed her daughters chin.
"Mum you look beautiful" Riley stared at her mum who wore a tight red sparkly dress.
"Thank you baby" she smiled at her daughter.

"I've got a surprise for you dear" Riley looked up at her dad who hid behind the wall.
"William what are you doing?" Her mum chuckled.

Dad entered the kitchen holding flowers.
"Daisies" mum grinned and looked at her father.
"Your favourite right babe" he knelt down and passed them to her, man her parents were so cute.

"William, I love them" mum took them and raised them to her nose, her eyes closed as she smelled the white flowers. Her dad didn't blink once as he watched his wife enjoy the gift.

Mum grabbed onto dad's red tie and pulled him close. She lay a gently hand on his cheek and kissed him hard.

"Ew gross please guys not well I'm here" Riley pretended to vomit as she hid behind her book.
"Sorry baby" dad laughed at his disgusted daughter.

Mum grabbed her fathers wrist and looked at his watch "Looks like its time to go" she dropped his arm and walked out of the kitchen.

Riley followed her parents to the door. All of her brothers were down stairs now, even Charlie.

"Okay so everyone listen up" mum stared at them all with a stern expression. "I want no messing, no fighting and no trouble" she point at Kyle who smirked.
"We will be back tomorrow morning and we expect all of you to be asleep" dad warned and looked at his kids one by one.

"Mum, dad chill out I've got this" Charlie grinned at them.
"You better sweetie don't let me down" mum pinched his cheek.
"Are you growing a beard son?" Dad rubbed Charlie's face.

"Yeah I was thinking I should grow one out" Charlie swatted his hand away.
"Wow, my little boy is a man" dad grabbed Charlie into an embrace and pulled his head into his shoulder.

"Okay okay time to go" mum waved her hand. She kissed all of her kids one by one and they exchanged their goodbyes.

"Be good for Charlie kids" dad yelled and locked the door.

Riley stared at the door, she didn't know it then but that was the last time she saw them.
