THE LAST TIME I SAW MY DAD I WAS ABOUT 6 years old, that was years ago, I was anxious, but shocked when I got his call, he was telling me that I could live with him and his new wife. Telling me that he couldn't wait to see me, to see what I've grown up to be. Well he was going to be in one hell of a shock when he sees my hair, one side was brown and the other was blonde and let's not forget to mention I dress differently, almost like a child...almost like a girl. He was going to see his son who was gay, and one that has issues, the depression and the hopeless anxiety boy who can't get away from his past. Hopefully, he will not find out about my regressing situation, I hope none of them do for a matter of fact.

I got up and walked off the train and took in an anxious breath and slowly let it out again, hopefully my dad wouldn't see the nervous jitters. I walked around the corner because it was now or never, that's when I saw him, he was near a black jeep, his arms crossed, his black hair jelled back and his beard was shaved off and his blue eyes scanning the area with a stoic look on his face. I stopped walking when his eyes met mine, soon enough his frown was turned upside down into a smile. I walked forward again and almost flinched when his muscular warms circled around my waist.

"Jayden! Kiddo, it's....it's been so long, and look at you, you've changed." He said looking at me up and down, he looked slightly confused with my hair and the cloths I was wearing.

He managed to see past all of that and took my suit cases from me and ushered me into the car. We soon drove off and he was asking me all sorts of questions like how was I? Or what have I been up to. "Wait until you meet Primrose, she's just a darling and I've told her all about you, she is so excited to finally meet you. Oh! And your big brothers, they are all sweet and do sometimes keep to themselves, but I'm sure they will love you!" I couldn't help but blink, I had brothers.......now I was nervous.

"So, hey, wanna tell your old man, what you did with your hair and....uh...where you found your fashion sense from?" The nerve of this man, I hadn't seen him for 11 years and he was already asking questions, ugh, maybe he just wants to get to know me.

"Well the hair.....uh...I thought it would be cool to dye the other side blonde, like my favourite song artist; Melanie Martinez, and the clothes...." I trail off looking down at my ripped jeans, and my converse boots that went all the way up to my knees and then up to my Nirvana top, and a black hoodie. I also stare down at my fingers that had some rings that my mum bought me a couple of years ago, "I'm just really into black and I do like blue as well, don't worry I like colours! But erm – I found it on an app called Pinterest and I fell in love with the way I dress." I gulped, that's right I wear pastel colours when I'm little, but no one needs to know that.

"Cool, my son, who's quirky and has his own style. I'm so proud." I have a small smile, but I could see behind his words he seemed uncomfortable and nervous.

"Anyways, we are here, kiddo." I looked out the window at the big suburban house, I couldn't help but gape, but what was I expecting he left mum to have more money, and literally left us with nothing.

I got out of the car and grabbed my cases while he led us through the door, everything looked so expensive. But I stayed quiet walking to my dads side, there was a woman with brown hair and green eyes staring back at me, she had a big smile with her white pearls staring back at me. I flushed and smiled back, next to her were four boys and boy they did not look happy that I was here.

One of the boys had brown curly hair like my own and these dark brown does staring back at me, he seemed to be the youngest, he was the shortest from them, but definitely taller than me. The one next to him had mousy brown hair with streaks of blonde, he seemed to have his brothers eyes too, I couldn't help but feel intense from the stares I was receiving. Then the other one next to him was taller than both of them, he had his mother's hair and his greenish-blue hues were looking me head-to-toe, but that's what they were all doing. And the last one who looked older from all of them, he had brown hair with a lighter tone highlights and his brown eyes were just looking from both me to my dad, probably to see if we were actually related.

"Everyone, this is Jayden my son I was telling you about, your little brother. Jayden these are your older brothers, "Dylan, Wynter, Carson and Wesley." He said pointing to each and everyone of them, "and this is my wife, Primrose."

"It's lovely to meet you, sweetheart, welcome to the family, I've heard so much about you. You can call me anything you'd like." I stare at her with a small smile, I wasn't going to call her mum, she was probably hoping I would when she told me to call her anything.

"Um, hi, t-thanks.....for taking me in." I said awkwardly, dad ruffled my hair causing me to huff, I wanted out of this house, away from this tension and just go hide. I want someone to come and help me!

"Jayden, why don't I take you to your room." She smiles taking my hand, "so, Jayden, I know you find this nerve wracking and everything will be new to you, but if you ever need me, you come to me or your big brothers okay?" I nod my head at her, my cheeks flushed. I let out a small thanks and let her lead me to my room which had surprised me.

The bed was like a bunk bed, just stacked on square shelf boxes with little drawers I can pull out, it had ladder steps to get up onto the bed, and it even had a secret den under it, I could probably put a curtain there and that's where I could be little. The walls were white and blank, I would have to change that into something more suited for me; like posters and maybe fake vines or something. All the furniture set up for me were white, the floorboards were grey with a white fluffy rug in the middle.

I could put fairy lights in my little den and the nightlight stars that glow in the dark could go on the ceiling when I look up at them. The tv was also great, it even had a gaming console, and let's not forget the built in wardrobe, it was huge and it would give me room to get dressed in there.

I hugged Prim and thanked her, I was grateful to have everything I get, and maybe, just maybe I could fit in here, but I kinda feel like she knows me a bit too well, it was weird. I couldn't help but watch her leave, leaving me to unpack, she shut the door and I could hear everyone talking downstairs.

Maybe.....this wouldn't be so bad.....nothing to worry about, right?
