•Author's Note Part One•

So here's the catch.. At first this book was going to be about the usual mafia-brother books. Till I got a sudden idea and changed my whole plot.

Under this author's note is the original story I intended to write.

•••
Chapter 1

I was on the beach, my brothers were chasing me, and I was having some much fun.

But then my alarm rang.

Of course, having brothers was always a dream. I had read so many books on siblings that I felt like I was missing out. I always felt lonely.

Groaning, I stood up to take a quick shower.

I always felt extra sleepy on a Friday.

Once I was done, I got dressed. I was angry at the school because we had to wear a uniform, which sucked.

Our school uniform included a sky-blue shirt, navy blue skirts/trousers (an option for girls), white socks, black shoes and a navy blue tie with the school logo on it.

I usually wore the trousers instead of the skirt because skirts weren't my thing. In fact, I barely had any skirts in my wardrobe.

Once I was dressed, I sleepily stuffed my books and equipment I needed for the day and walked to the kitchen for breakfast.

Mum was already there, and she was rubbing her forehead, staring at her laptop.

"Hey mum," I said, putting on a smile.

She closed her laptop and looked at me,"Morning Alexa."

"You still have that headache?" I asked mum. She had this headache for a few days now, and it wasn't showing any sign of going away.

Mum nodded.

"It's high time you see the doctor now," I told her.

"Bu-"

I cut her off,"No buts, you have to get better mum."

She sighed,"Fine, I will go once I have dropped you off at school, okay?"

I smiled, satisfied that I was able to convince her. Mum returned the smile.

I went and hugged her, but my nose stung me.

"Mum," I whined,"You put too much perfume."

She rolled her eyes,"I can't do anything about that, my boss says that I have too."

I sat down to eat breakfast as my mum, once again, told me about how strict her boss was I had never actually met this boss of her.

I quickly finished my food, and mum drove me to school.

I got out of the car while waving goodbye to mum.

I felt someone hugging me, I smiled and hugged the person back.

It was Hannah, my best friend. We met in third grade.

"I missed you so much," Hannah squealed.

I rolled my eyes at her,"It has only been a day."

"A dreadful, long day. Trust me, staying with a mean sister for a whole day is not fun," Hannah replied recalling the past few days.

I put my arm around her,"Why don't you tell me all about it?"

I knew Hannah was someone who liked to talk about how they feel. After all, she was my best friend and I knew everything about her.

*

It was lunch time.

Hannah and I sat down together on a table.

"Did you hear?" Hannah asked me?

"Let me guess," I said sarcastically,"Liam Jones is dating another girl?"

Liam Jones was one of the popular boys at school, he was a player as well. Liam (who was sixteen years old) also had a brother who, too, was a player, his name was Shawn (he was fifteen years old).

Hannah nodded.

"Honestly, I am not surprised. He literally changes girls every week."

Hannah just shrugged, deep in a thought.

*

"Bye Hannah!" I yelled.

School was over and it was time to go home. Like every other usual day, I yelled goodbye to Hannah.

Mum was already waiting for me, from the car window I could see her bit her nails. It meant that she was nervous.

"What's wrong mum?" I asked once I was inside the car.

She jumped,"Oh hey Honey, I didn't notice you come in."

I looked at her suspiciously,"Did you go to the doctor."

She nodded, starting the car.

"What did the doctor say?" I questioned her.

It took mum some time, but she finally said,"It was nothing to worry about, just a normal headache. He said I was stressing out too much."

I squinted my eyes in a stern was, trying to see if it was a lie.

But I found nothing.

"Listen, honey, I have something important to tell you," Mum started.

I hummed in response, now looking out the window.

She sighed,"I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

That was important? Why did she have to make a big deal about it, I could always stay at Hannah's, her mum wouldn't mind me there for a few days.

Mum was now staring at me through the front mirror.

"I will be gone for two months," she finally said.

"WHAT?!" I yelled. I had never been away from mum for more than two days. Where was she going to leave me?

"This is the part when I can no more hide the truth from you."

Truth, what truth? It was my turn to stare at mum.

She looked away from my eyes,"You have five brothers."

I was stunned.

We were now at home, but still in the car.

Mum looked at me for my reaction.

I suddenly burst and happiness and started squealing,"Yes, Yes! I have five brothers!"

"I did not expect this kind of a reaction," I heard my mum mutter.

But I ignored her. I jumped out of the car and started pulling mum out of the car as well.

"Come on, come on, you have to help me pack!" I said, already dragging her into our house.

"Hold your horses," Mum said when we were in the kitchen,"Don't you want to know your past?"

I stood there for a moment, before saying,"Maybe some other day, now come on!"

There were far more exciting things in my mind right now. I heard mum chuckle, as she let me drag her to my room.

We immediately started packing things that I would need for the two months.

Chapter 2

I couldn't sleep that night. I was just too excited.

Part of me was guilty because it felt as if I wasn't going to miss mum at all.

After I finally managed to fall asleep, I was woken up by my mum.

It was early in the morning.

Mum had to catch a flight and so she had to be at the airport aeast three hours early.

I was to be dropped off to where five of my brothers lived but her.

Once I showered, I wore a turquoise hoodie with black leggings.

I always wore leggings. Jeans were uncomfortable, shorts were too open, and as I said before, I never wear skirts.

When I went down, mum was already there, fiddling with here clothes.

I hugged her and whispered,"I will miss you."

The hug was given back, and I heard some sniffling.

I tightened the hug, forcing myself to not cry.

After a few minutes the both of us let go. Mum gave me a reassuring smile.

Our luggage was already in the car, so the both of us grabbed a sandwich and left.

I stared at my house. I would not be seeing my small cosy house for two whole months.

The car drive was silent.

Once we reached my brothers' house, I stared at it, my mouth hanging open. It was a huge mansion!

I heard mum chuckle,"Your father was very rich. He started his own clothes business."

"Come on, we better take your luggage inside before I get late, yeah?" Mum said.

The both of us got out of the car, and got my things out of the car.

We slowly walked to the front door.

Mum took a deep breathe and rang the doorbell.

Almost immediately it swung open to reveal a tall man, he was so tall that I had to look up.

He had drank brown hair and eyes just like mum. But the rest was different, perhaps he looked like dad. The man looked so familiar to me.

I didn't really know dad that well because he died when I was a kid.

Mum never showed me his picture because each time the topic came on dad she would burst out crying.

The man nodded to the both of us.

After some time of silence mum finally said,"I must get going now."

She hugged me tight, as if she never wanted to let go, this made tears spill out of my eyes. I was a person with full of emotions, I would cry over the random thing like fictional characters.

"Take care," Mum whispered in my ear,"I love you."

"I love you too," I whispered back.

She let go and quickly said goodbye to us, then sat in her car, driving off.

I stared at the car that was long gone.

"We better go inside now," The man said.

I forgot he was there. I nodded and followed him inside.

"I am Blake, the eldest of your five brothers," he said already giving me a tour of the house.

There was the normal things like the kitchen and the living room, but there was also the basement which was mainly used as the theater room. Then there was a huge library full of books, a gym, a game room, five bedrooms and uncountable guest bedrooms. Then there was the huge office.

I was so tired once the tour was done. I dramatically collapsed onto the floor, pretending to faint.

I heard a low chuckle come from Blake. I opened my eye to see him smirking at me.

"Time for bed," he said.

I raised my eyebrow,"I have to walk all the way to my room? No way!"

Blake rolled his and lifted me up bridal way.

I smiled.

I missed out alot on not having siblings, I couldn't wait to meet the rest of my brothers who were still sleeping.

Blake later me down on the bed and put the covers on me and then left the room.

I closed my eyes going into a dreamless sleep.

Chapter 3

I woke up, stretching. Where was I?

Then it all came to me. I got up, squealing, I had brothers!

I ran out of my room. Where was everybody?

I face palmed myself, they could be anywhere in this huge mansion, how was I ever going to find anyone.

Plus, it wasn't like I paid attention to Blake during the tour.

I found some staircases that led my way downstairs. I walked towards it, but what I didn't notice was one of my brothers' clothes were on the floor.

I slipped, I was a hundred percent sure that I was going to roll down the stairs. But the moment never came. Instead, I was grabbed by my wrist.

I looked to see who it was,a boy who looked just like my mum -just with shorter hair- was standing there.

"You okay?" He asked.

I blinked once, and then started squealing,"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!"

I hugged my brother.

He chuckled and hugged me back.

"You must be Alexandre," He said as I scrunched up my face.

He suddenly frowned,"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

"Don't call me Alexandre," was all I said.

I didn't like it when people called me by my full name, it felt like my parents wanted a boy instead of me and they were going to name him Alexander, but instead I came and so they just changed it to Alexandre.

"What would you like me to call you?" He asked softly.

I shrugged,"Alexa, Lexi, Lex or Lexa."

He nodded, thinking for a bit,"I have always fancied the name Lexi."

I smiled,"Me too."

"Well, Lexi, I am Cole, your third eldest brother."

"Cool," I said. My stomach rumbled,"That reminds me, I'm hungry."

"You should be, it's lunch time now," Cole said, pulling me gently down the stairs.

We walked into the kitchen to find all my brothers. My mouth was left hanging open. Sitting there were Liam and Shawn.

I widened my eyes,"My brothers are players?"

"Hey," Shawn said,"Isn't she the one with the friend who is always staring at me during lunch?"

I rolled my eyes,"Her name is Hannah."

Blake cleared his throat,"Seeing as you already know Shawn and Liam I must introduce you to the rest. I assume Cole has already introduced himself?"

Cole nodded.

"Right, then this is Jayden," Blake said pointing to the boy who, I assumed, looked just like dad. Jayden stared at me with cold eyes.

Usually I would get scared, but

Yeah.. Lol, that's it-
