Great News! My father met his second mate and will marry soon. My stepmother is a charming lady, but...
Bad News; My stepmother has six sons who are part of the notorious bad boy team at school. These boys I offended not long ago, and we hated each other.
Bad Start.
Chapter1
I slammed the locker shut, and turned around to see my best friend looking at me with her big blue eyes.
"What is it, Bella?" I asked and she shrugged. I rolled my eyes but still kept a smile on my face.
"You know what happened to The Famous Brothers?" She asked as I leaned against the lockers. I shook my head, but I didn't really want to know.
"They got caught for using illicit substances and went to jail," she explained and I shrugged.
"Who really cares?" I asked and she frowned.
"Duh, everyone," she said and I held back an annoyed eye roll.
I really don't like gossiping about other people, especially when we don't even know them that well. For all we know is that they're doing this for a good reason.
Suddenly Bella's phone pinged and she pulled it out and read the text, "Hey, my brother is here to pick me up. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
I nodded and gave her a hug, "I'll see you tomorrow."
She waved and started walking away to the doors. I sighed and pulled out my phone to text my father to come to get me.
Before I forget, hi my name is Norah. I'm 16 and a sophomore. I have one best friend, who you all know as Bella. We've been best friends for as long as I can remember. My father is the best; he does everything for me, and I love him dearly.
Currently, he's working two jobs just to maintain ourselves. My mother... we'll talk about her later.
I walked outside to wait for my father there, so as I did I heard a yell. I whipped around and looked around frantically. Me being the curious person I am, I walked to where the yell came from and it didn't take long for the yell to continue.
It leads to the side of the school, so I hid behind the corner to watch what was happening.
I gasped quietly as I saw the scene unfold. It was four of the Carries brothers looking as scary as ever. That wasn't it though, Avery Carries had a guy pushed up against the wall, holding his collar and wearing a deadly expression on his face. The poor guy's face had multiple bruises, black eyes, and a bleeding nose. Avery raised his fist into the air, about to punch him again until I did the stupidest thing I could have ever imagined doing.
"Stop!" I shouted at him, and all of them whipped their heads in my direction. I gulped and walked to them, as they glared at me. "Let him go."
"Y-you're just making it worse!" The guys spat out and, apparently, Avery loosened his grip because the guy ran away lightning fast.
"Darn it! You made that guy run away!" Elijah exclaimed and I jumped a little.
You're probably wondering how I know these guys, well I don't. Apparently, people have nothing better to do other than gossip about the Famous Brothers, which are the six brothers that go to school this school. Only four go, but the other two dropped out of college, which is really weird about how people even know them when they don't even go here.
"Why in the world did you do that?" Emmet asked annoyed, glaring at me. I cleared my throat, hoping I wouldn't crack it while saying this sentence.
"Because whatever you tried doing there, it's rude, " I told them confidently. They all rolled their eyes and Cayden scoffed.
"What are you, eight years old?" He taunted and I shook my head.
"Nope. I'm human, " I said and they stopped short and just stared at me with an unsettling gaze. I gulped as their gazes got more intense.
"Cya, " I said suddenly beginning to walk away, but I felt a hand grab my arm. Before I could retaliate, I was shoved up against the wall, with my arms pinned above my head.
"Listen here lady, " it was Avery, "don't try to act like you're better than us. We are and we'll always be. You're nothing and we're something, so just shut up and get out of here. So don't ever think you can mess with us, " he whispered with a grim look on his face. I gulped and slowly nodded.
"Dude, let her go now, I think she understands, " Cayden said putting his hand on his brother's arm. He let me go and I instantly massaged my wrists, and soon enough my phone began to ring. I picked up my backpack and pulled out my phone, watching the four carefully.
"Hello?" I answered and for some reason, the four didn't leave, instead, they just watched me.
"Hey, my dear. I'm waiting for you outside so just come out when you're ready, " my father said and I nodded but then realized he couldn't see me.
"Sure thing father. I'll be out in a minute, " I said and he replied with a 'see you soon' and hung up. I sighed and furrowed my eyebrows to see the four still staring at me.
"What?" I asked, getting all cautious. They finally snapped out of it and turned the stare to glares.
"Nothing, let's go, guys, " Elijah said and nudged Emmet who followed Elijah and slowly Avery and Cayden followed soon too.
I shook my head and walked to the front of the school to see my father's car waiting out there for me. He smiled when he saw me and gave me a big hug.
"Hey angel, " he greeted and I grinned and hugged him back. After the greetings, we both got in the car, and for some odd reason, my father looked nervous.
"Father, you okay?" I tentatively and he snapped his head at me. He smiled sheepishly and shook his head.
"I might have some news, " he said and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"What kind of news?" I asked curiously and he shrugged.
"I guess you could say it depends how you react, " he said and I nodded slowly.
He took a breath in, "I'm getting married."
I widen my eyes and the first thing I do is give him a big hug. Well tried to at least, since we're sitting opposite from each other it was an awkward side hug.
"I'm so proud of you father!" I said trying to hold back the tears, but I heard him sniffle. I pulled back and wiped away his tears, and gave him a warm smile.
"Why are you nervous about that?" I asked him and he immediately frowned.
"Your mother, " he said quietly and I rolled my eyes, not at him though, just at her.
"Father, she's not my mother nor your wife. She killed-, " I took in a sharp breath, "-him. She also cheated on you too. So don't you dare try to defend her. I'm sure the new woman you chose is a lovely lady, " I told him and he grinned.
"Thanks, Norah dear, " he said and I hugged him once again.
Can't wait to meet my new stepmother.
Chapter2
It was the weekend, and I finally get to meet my new mother. I'm really excited, only because I never really had a mother growing up. She would always get drunk, pass out on the bed, and go out in the middle of the night.
That's why my father had to take care of me. We are really close, and I love talking with my father.
Right now, I'm staring at myself in the mirror. Since we're going to have dinner with my new mother, my father and I wanted to make a good impression, I decided to dress up a little.
I'm wearing a blood red dress, with the sleeves as lace, I paired it with black flat shoes, and I put my hair up in a messy bun.
I think it came out pretty good, and I'm fine with it. I put away all the makeup I used (which wasn't that much) and opened my door to walk down the stairs.
Once I reached the bottom, I saw my father sitting down on the couch, probably hyperventilating. I understand though, he's about to have dinner with his wife, and he's going to propose too.
"Hey father, " I said softly rubbing his back. He looked up and took in my appearance and smiled wide.
"You look like a princess, " he said and I laughed.
"It's going to be okay, I'm sure she'll say yes, " I assured him and he took in a deep breath and nodded.
He stood up, "You're looking snazzy." I complimented, but then realized I never want to say that sentence ever again.
He chuckled and hugged me, "Can't wait for you to meet her, she really is sweet and caring."
"I'm sure she is a father, " I said pulling back and giving him a warm smile.
The doorbell rang and father went to open it, I followed behind. He opened it to reveal a lady wearing a white lace dress, that comes off her shoulders. I love her dress, and she looks absolutely stunning!
"Vanessa!" Father exclaimed and pulled her into an embrace, she laughed and hugged him back.
"You're looking very nice William, " she said and my father being the man-child he is, blushed a deep red.
"Thanks, Nessa, you look stunning too, " he said and she smiled wide. I didn't really want to interrupt their moment but I had to so I coughed to get their attention.
They both turned to me and father lit up as if he forgot I was here, "Vanessa, this is my daughter, Norah. Norah this is Vanessa, my girlfriend."
Before I could say hi, she pulled me into a hug, so tight I couldn't really breath. When she let go, she took in my appearance and grinned.
"You look lovely Norah, " she said and I smiled and nodded towards her.
"So do you, " I said and she giggled. My father led us to the dining room where we sat down, but when we did, Vanessa looked around and frowned.
"There aren't enough seats, " she said and father widens his eyes while I furrowed my eyebrows.
"What do you mean? There's only the three of us, " I said probably looking dumbfounded. Vanessa turned her head to me as if I said something dumb but then turned to my father with a scolding look on her face.
"You didn't tell her?!" She exclaimed and father rubbed his neck while smiling nervously. I raised an eyebrow, interested in where this conversation was going.
"Because there was just a lot going on so I kind of forgot, " my father explained and Vanessa rolled her eyes and turned back to me.
"I have so-, " she got cut off by the doorbell. She stood up and walked towards it, as she opened it I heard a lot of chatter and footsteps. Once she got back I saw six guys standing there.
The four I confronted on Friday stared at me with a complete dumbfounded look, and so did I.
"William, Norah, meet my six sons. This is Avery-, " she got cut off by me.
"I-I know who they are already, " I stuttered. She tilted her head to one side and father copied her action.
"They go to my school, " I said quietly. My father and her face lit up like a cute little puppy getting adopted.
"Then you guys must be great friends!" She exclaimed happily and the five of us widen our eyes.
"No! She-," Avery started but Cayden nudged him in his stomach. I rolled my eyes at them and sat down and smirked.
"Oh look at that, there's no more room, guess you guys have to sit on the floor, " I said giving them a sly smirk, while my father gave me a hard look.
I couldn't help myself.
We finally settled in the dining room and I was gladly sat a the end so they wouldn't try something, but they were still glaring at me. I have seen Theo and West around, but never have I ever tried to make a conversation with them.
They're brothers probably told them about me.
Apparently, Vanessa and father are deep in conversation because I don't think they can tell that six scary and intimidating guys are glaring at me. Do they not get tired of this?
I then finally thought of something, because even though they're really intimidating towards other people, they just don't scare me. Theo and West are on my left, while Avery and Cayden are on my right.
I slowly but surely slid my arms towards their drinks and as I reached their glasses I knocked them down, and I hastily put my hand on my fork and shovelled food in my mouth, looking down and pretending I didn't do anything.
"What the flip!?" Avery and Theo shouted at the same time, but knowing them they obviously didn't day flip.
Vanessa and father looked at them and Vanessa tsked and got up grabbing some paper towel while father helped Theo get to the bathroom.
I fought back a smile, but Cayden noticed that and glared while clenching his jaw. I gulped as Avery came back and sat back down. He motioned West to lean in, which he did, and he whispered something to both West and Avery. All three of them made eye contact with me.
Avery was furious, West smirked, and Cayden snickered quietly.
This is not going to go well.
Theo came back, grumbling something under his breath, and as he sat back down, West learned in his ear and whispered something. Once he was done, Theo snapped his head to my direction and shot me a cold hard glare that made me shrink in my seat.
We were finally done eating, my father and Vanessa got up and poured some wine in a glass, but father stopped me.
"Why don't you and the boys go to your room?" He asked and I gave him a dirty look.
"You're sending me to my room, with six boys?" I asked and he stood up and leaned to whisper.
"I'm going to propose to her, please Norah for me?" he whispered and I gave him a smile.
"Sure father, " I nodded and gave Vanessa a wave. Once I turned, the guys were giving me a smirk.
I think this was a bad idea.
Chapter3
I guided the boys to my room, and even though I said I'm not scared of them, I am now since they caught me spilling water on them.
I opened my bedroom door and they silently walked. Okay, I feel dirty for doing this. What kind of girl leads in six guys in her room? That's gross. I took in a deep breath-
I was already pulled into the room by a strong grip, I whimpered as Avery locked the door and Theo grinned. I feel like crying, but I'm obviously not giving them the satisfaction.
"Let me go, " I demanded. They chuckled all at once.
"You really think you can scare us, little Norah?" Theo asked in a deadly tone. I gulped and stared at him.
"Little Norah?" I asked and he exchanged looks with the others who just shrugged.
"Yeah, your little and your name is Norah, " he explained slowly. I rolled my eyes, and for some reason, once I did roll my eyes, his grip got tighter.
"Don't you dare roll your eyes at me, " he said and this time I mentally rolled my eyes.
He finally let me go and I walked to my desk chair. West, Emmet and Elijah looked around my room, studying it with their eyes.
"You spilled our drinks on us, didn't you?" Avery asked suddenly crossing his arms, I pursed my lips and looked down at my lap.
"Maybe, " I mumbled. He scoffed and glared at me.
"Why on earth would you do that?" He asked and I looked back at him, and I got the courage to stand up and look at each and every one of them.
"I'm not scared of you. Any of you, "I said confidently and they smirked.
"You sure about that?" Cayden asked and nodded.
"Positive, " I said and he laughed and grabbed my wrist.
"Wow, you guys really like touching me, huh?" I taunted and he rolled his eyes but said nothing. He led me to the middle, so now I was crowded by all six of them.
"W-what are you doing?" I asked them cautiously. They smirked and Avery pushed me down on the bed.
"What do you think?" He whispered flirtatiously in my ear, then I noticed that my father didn't tell them about him proposing to their mother.
He was now literally on top of me and before this could get any weirder, "Stop! My father is proposing to your mother!"
He was about to kiss my neck until he heard that and stopped midway. He jumped off me and everyone exchanged looks.
"Holy cow!" Avery shouted and continuously wiped his mouth. I scurried to my bed frame.
"You guys were trying to assault me!" I screeched and they jumped from my voice.
"No, it's not like that! We didn't know!" Emmet explained and I felt so violated.
"What if I didn't say that, huh? What would you do?" I asked getting angry, Avery repeatedly ran his hand through his hair.
"Okay, okay! We're sorry!" West said and I rolled my eyes when all of a sudden Cayden widens his eyes.
"Wait, so if your father is proposing to our mother and if she says yes then..." he trailed off and looked specifically at me.
"You're going to be our stepsister?" Avery finished and I snorted unladylike.
"Wow, you guys figured out how relations work, " I said clapping my hands sarcastically. They glared at me but I ignored it.
"She shouldn't be marrying your father, he's a flippin' loser, " West muttered and I heard him clearly.
I gasped and got off of my bed went up to West, "My father is not a loser, you are!
Don't you dare say that about him, he did so much for me and he still does!"
The room went silent until Cayden cursed, "Who cares? We just don't want you to be our sister."
"Why not?" I asked curiously.
"Cause' you're flippin' annoying. Now, our mother is marrying a loser," he said and I felt my blood boil.
"He's not a loser! Why can't you be happy for your mother?" I exclaimed angrily. Emmet and Elijah cursed and clenched their jaw.
"Just shut up!" Emmet shouted at me, his face red with anger. I looked down at the ground.
"Just be happy for her. Your mother finally found a man she loves-," I got cut off by Theo - who hasn't said anything for a while - shoving me on my bed, again, and pinning my arms above my head.
Wow, they really like this position, don't they? ;)
"Shut up! You don't know anything about us! Stop talking about us like that! We don't care at all about you or your father! So just stop talking, or I'll do it myself," he screamed and I'm pretty sure I struck a nerve in him.
"O-okay! I'm sorry," I said softly. He sighed and got off me, the others just watched in amusement.
I'm sure this is about their father, I'm sure.
The door swung open and in came father and Vanessa, looking as happy as ever. Father walked up to me and picked me up and swung me around. I laughed and hugged him back, already knowing what happened.
"We're getting married!" He exclaimed happily, and suddenly I saw the guys stop. Father let go of me and stuck his hand out to West - probably cause' he's the oldest - and grinned brightly.
"I'm glad you guys are going to be my new stepsons," he said. They frowned and hesitantly West gripped fathers hand and shook it.
"Glad you're our new stepfather," he said and I did a double. What the flip did he just? That he's glad that fathers their new stepfather? Really? Wow, I thought they were going to, like, knee him or something.
Father pulled them in a hug and I couldn't help but smile.
This is my new family now.
It's been a week since the whole proposal, and now today's the day where we move into Vanessa's house. Father announced that he and Vanessa are getting married in about two weeks.
Every day at school, the four guys keep giving me glares and stares. At this point, it's getting fricken annoying. What can I do though? We haven't gotten along at all, and I'm not sure what to do now.
We loaded in our boxes, suitcases, and more boxes into the moving truck. Once we were finished, father got in the passenger's seat as I looked at the house I grew up in.
It really is hard leaving your house that you grew up in. People think that it's easy, but they're dead wrong. It's absolutely petrifying to people. It doesn't hurt me that much, though it's still a little depressing.
The truck honked and I jumped, before turning around and entering the truck. I watched as the truck started and my house disappearing.
Bye-bye old life.
Chapter4
We arrived at Vanessa's house in an hour. The truck driver helped us get out our stuff, and put them on the sidewalk. He nodded at us and left, father and I looked at each other and smiled.
Father went to go get Vanessa as I took me and fathers suitcases and rolled them over to the front door. I grabbed some of the boxes and put them there too. I opened the door and entered myself, rolling in the suitcases. Vanessa appeared with father beside her, she came and hugged me.
"Hey Norah, how are you?" She asked and I gave her a smile, which she returned.
"I'm fine. You?" I asked.
I'm great, sweetie. Why don't I help you with that? The boys are not here right now, so I can help," she said and we all got together and moved in the boxes and we got the suitcases upstairs. Vanessa showed me my new room, it's cute and simple. I might just decorate later.
I opened up my suitcase and took out all my clothes and started storing them in my closet. This is pretty big since there was a lot of people staying in it. Now, there's plus two more.
Once I was done, it pretty late. I went down the hall and opened up Vanessa bedroom, father and Vanessa were there. They were both snoring away, sleeping peacefully. I smiled slightly and turned off the lights.
Closing the door, I walked downstairs. I went inside the kitchen and made myself some toast. I flopped down on the couch, as I turned on the TV.
I didn't realize but when I looked out the window, it was 10;00 pm and none of the boys came home yet. I started to get worried, even though we don't have a good friendship, they're still kind of my brothers.
Finally, the door opened and slammed. I jumped up and looked at who did it. West and Theo were there and they were staring right back at me. Suddenly, my eyes widen. They have bruises all over their faces and their knuckles were purple.
"Are you guys okay?" I asked tentatively. They rolled their eyes and disappeared into the kitchen. I raced to the kitchen and they were on the stools. I opened the freezer and took out some ice, put a paper towel over it and handed it to West, and I did the same with Theo.
Though, they both tsked and threw it away, "What is the matter with you two? I'm trying help!" I exclaimed angrily, and West turned to glare.
"We don't need your help," he said ruthlessly. I sighed and crossed my arms, while leaning on the kitchen counter.
"Where were you guys anyway?" I asked them, then suddenly Theo slammed his fist on the table. I winced and he heard but ignored it.
"Stop being so nosy! Why do you care?" He asked bitterly. I shook my head and scoffed.
"What do you think? We're going to be s-," I couldn't finish that since the door open and slammed hard.
I flinched and turned to see the other four with bruises all over their faces and knuckles. I looked at them with disbelief.
"Seriously?" I asked. Avery smirked and opened up the freezer and got ice out, he covered it with a paper towel and put it on his face. He hissed in pain.
"Why are you guys fighting people?" I asked annoyed. They also looked annoyed, but like on a different level.
"Do you ever shut up?" Emmet asked furiously and I pursed my lips.
"Not really," I replied sheepishly. Cayden scoffed but said nothing.
"Can you guys just tell me, we're going to be siblings soon, so we might as well care for each other," I said and they clenched their jaws.
"Look, " Avery began as the others glared at me, "we will never be siblings. You will never be our sister and we'll never be your brothers. Got it?"
I rolled my eyes, "Stop being so dramatic."
"Why can't you understand? You'll never be our sister and that's final!" West told me directly, glaring in my direction.
"Why are you guys so stubborn? I just want your trust!" I told them, my anger rising. "I-if you don't want me to be your sister, fine, I don't care."
Oh, but that isn't true. I will break all their walls, one by one.
That was a lie.
For some reason, I felt a tear slip from my eyes. They did a double take and Elijah came up to me, deciding to whether or not to wipe them.
I tsked and shoved Elijah and wiped them by myself. If he ever said that to me, I would kill myself.
"Why are you crying so much?" Emmet asked annoyed, I huffed and glared at him.
"No reason," I muttered and walked to my room.
There was obviously a reason though.
The next day it was school. I like school, but you know, it's school. Does that make sense? I mean what I'm trying to say is that maybe if school started more earlier, then I would like school.
So put that aside, I woke up from my alarm. I don't have an alarm clock because people always complain about how annoying it is. So, I realized I don't need one and that I can just use my phone.
I go to the bathroom because personal hygiene is important. I do everything I need to do and go downstairs.
I scowl at Emmet and Elijah when I see them shirtless in the kitchen. I just lost my freaking appetite.
"Can you guys like, put on shirts?" I asked irritated. They turned and I widen my eyes to see they have pretty defined abs, but I cover it up with a cough and look straight at them, though they're looking at me with a smirk.
"Like what you see?" Emmet asked teasingly, I rolled my eyes and shoved past them. I opened up the freezer to get out some waffles.
"Have you guys eaten already?" I ask them and they scoff, but nonetheless, nod.
I decided to make waffles for Cayden and Avery since they do have a lot. By the time I'm done, they're awake and sitting on the kitchen counter.
I pour some syrup for Avery since he's the oldest and serve it for him. He watches me cautiously and pushes it out the way.
"Hey! I worked really hard to make that for you and Cayden!" I told him annoyed. He smirked and grabbed the waffle with his bare hand and slapped it on top of Cayden's head since his head was facing down.
I made an 'o' shape with my mouth from surprise and fear for Avery. His head shot up and he glared at me.
"What the flip, Norah!" He shouted furiously. I gulped and shook my head frantically.
"It was Avery, not me!" I said, my voice cracking a little. I cursed at myself for doing that, it was pretty embarrassing.
"What, me? How could you accuse me, Norah?" Avery said innocently, I shot him a glare that didn't seem to affect him at all.
I sighed and went back up to my room, pulled on a random t-shirt and some blue jeans. I ran back down stairs and as I was about to leave someone grabbed my arm and turned me around.
"Nobody can know that your father proposed to my mother," Cayden said angrily. I rolled my eyes and yanked my arm out of his hold.
"Whatever."
