Cloud drove me home so I can properly tell everyone I am now living with Cloud, Dad was devastated and Mom was sullen that they weren't even planning on hiding it

"Man up you two, you guys knew this would happen" Aunt Laborè told them, she was in the kitchen in her comfortable clothes

My sisters were nowhere to be seen but suddenly I heard all of them come out one by one holding a weapon each

Adeline was holding her signature favorite bat, Wendy was holding a kitchen knife the protective cover still on, Brie was holding a frying pan, Caramia was not holding back because she brought an axe

Ella and Natalie brought the thickest book they could find and were gripping it tightly with a threatening look, they all sat around us and was giving Cloud a menacing glare

Caramia was more threatening because the axe was more scarier, she slammed her hand on the coffee table

"If I ever see you hurt and beat my sister do you know where your head will hang? Right on top of the fireplace", she pointed the axe to the fireplace in the living room

Forget overprotective big brothers be more afraid of overprotective big sisters

All the adults in the room were ignoring the scary tension that was forming that Aunt Laborè say out loud

"do you guys want to have tea? I think I have some here?"

Mom and Dad agreed and they all went outside with the tea set, Cloud was doomed but he wasn't threatened at all

He must have faced a more scary situation than this

But when my sisters get angry you will get an angry mob of killers, the last time that Wendy was bullied we all beat, more specifically, Caramia was the one who beat the shit out of them

Cloud instead chuckle lowly

"How about we talk it out with a promise?"

When Cloud makes a deal or promise he makes sure he benefitted from it very well

I try giving my sisters my no-look but they decided to accept it, they pushed me out and I am now hanging out with my parents and Aunt for tea

The tea was good and there were little to no noise outside today but I was still not relaxed at the thought of Cloud making a deal with my sisters

Is this what it feels like to deal with the devil?

I just hope it's not another ridiculous promise or deal

"The tea tastes good" I said as I eyed my cup that is now empty

Mom was about to pour me another cup when suddenly I hear loud commotions coming from the inside

"I'm praying that they won't break anything inside" Dad said out loud and all of us agreed with a nod all at the same time

But alas his prayers weren't answered cause the next thing we see after we opened the door after our afternoon tea is the vase being broken and several couch pillows were on the floor, it was not that catastrophic but a vase broke, Mom didn't lash out but what she did, however, was emitting a deadly aura that was more deadlier than Caramia and Dad combined

Cloud was more afraid of my Mom than Caramia almost swinging an axe at him that was mere inches close to his neck, she hid the axe behind her and gave us a sheepish grin and Dad raised a brow at her

"Caramia college first before murder you know that" he crossed his arms

Dad, I'm more concerned that you have to let your daughter kill a person than finish college

I rubbed both of my temples

This house was chaotic enough with my sisters but since Cloud came along it was more chaotic than ever

I pulled Cloud out of the house and sat him down at the front porch stairs

"Have you lost your mind? Did the brain inside you just go poof?!"

"For your information, my brain didn't go poof, it's more like a boom" he corrected me

The audacity to correct me when he just broke a vase

"You just broke my mother's vase"

"I can buy another one" he shrugged it off like money is the solution to all problems

"Cloud you can't buy sentimental value" I sat far away from him at the porch stairs

He raised a brow at my actions "Why are you sitting far away from me?"

I played a pebble with my hand that I got from the ground that was next to my shoe "I am going to enjoy the distance since later there will be only inches of distance that I can have at your place especially when we're sleeping" I threw the pebble at him

"Trust me you are going to have a hard time dealing with my problem in sleeping" he replied as he took the pebble that I threw at him with one hand and observed it

"Why? Are you not worried that you are going to have a hard time tutoring me?" I asked him quizzically because sleeping will be easy but I doubt tutoring me won't be

He put the pebble beside him as he looked up at the sky giving me the perfect view of his side profile that is good looking at any angle

"I don't think that will be a problem"

I didn't question him further after, I got up and walked away from my house with Cloud following me

"So where are you going, Angel?" He asked me innocently knowing that I hate that new nickname he is using for me

"I told you to not call me Angel I hate that nickname" I complained as I didn't look back at him and kept marching forward to Alice's house that was 3 blocks away from mine, it wasn't that hot today but it was bright that I have to squint my eyes time to time when I am not under the shade of a house or a tree

"What's wrong with calling you Angel, Angel?" He kept going on about that stupid nickname that it has now become exhausting for me to make him quit

I arrived at the front lawn of Alice's house and I saw her little brother Michael run to me and hug my leg

"Miss Angel You're here!"

Cloud pouted and was trying to gain my attention "Hey how come he can call you Angel?"

I ruffled Michael's hair before he ran off to play with the neighbour's kid that he has a crush on "because I can and I let him, not you though" I left him at the spot and walked up to Alice door to be greeted by her Mom named Mary who always give me unnecessary advice but it actually becomes useful in unexpected situations

A great example of this is that she told me that I should run when someone was running away fast among the crowd, I did and after that, there was a stampede that happened in the middle of town because there was a riot

"Hey Mary" I greeted her as she let me into her home, her eyes went to Cloud who was now playing with Michael on the grass. Cloud made Michael comfortable with him in a matter of minutes but it took me three months to even build a friendship with the little guy

I walked up to the stairs and barged myself into Alice's room which I shouldn't have done, I closed the door quickly "Sorry!"

It was Alice who is making out with Will on her bed and I just want to wash my eyes with holy water at the sight. Alice opened the door as she fixed her messy hair and outfit

"Hey Penelope" she pretended as if nothing happened

"Yeah I'll pretend I didn't see that" I told her and she gave out a nervous laugh

"We haven't told anyone about it" she answered as she open the door widely for Will to wave at me

"Even Jane?"

She nodded "Even Jane"

I just want to know if her Mom knows what her daughter is doing in her room with a guy in the middle of the day, who am I to judge when I am moving in and sleeping beside the guy I hate

"It's up to you guys to tell her but for now I will keep my mouth shut" I say it to both of them especially to Will that I was surprised to have a secret of his own from his sister, I am keeping a secret from Jane too so I am no Angel either
