"Coco!" I hear a not so quiet whisper

"Whats up munchkin?" I hear Caleb mumble in response,

"Bexley asked for you, she's crying" The voice I now recognize as Max's

"Okay, lets go" I hear Caleb say just as a weight is lifted from my lap

My eyes flutter open to see Caleb carrying Max up the stairs to my room.

I wait a few minutes, but after Caleb doesn't return, I creep my way upstairs. I see my door is cracked and slink in to see Caleb sitting in my bed with Bexley, Julia and Max curled up on either side of him all using him as a pillow. his head is resting on the wall behind him with his eyes closed.

His eyes snap open when the floor creeks beneath me.

"Is she okay?" I whisper as I stand by the door

The moonlight shining through my balcony door shone on the girls faces, revealing Bexleys

tear stained one.

"She'll be fine" he nods

"Belle can you stay with us" Julia asks, picking her head up off of Caleb's chest

"Sure" I smile and nod at her as I walk over and climb in to my bed next to them

I wrap one of my blankets around around Max, Julia and I as they cuddle up next to me.

"Go back to sleep girls" I whisper to them

They just nods and slowly close their eyes. After a few minutes I feel them both relax and their breath even out.

"Couldn't sleep without me?" Caleb whispers with a smirk

"Shut up Kazer, I just wanted to see if Bex was okay"

He just huffs and nods "she's okay, she just had nightmares sometimes. It just got really bad tonight. I'm usually the only one that can calm her down" he nods as he moves some of bexleys hair out of her face

"Kinda like when you had nightmares" he grins at me

I used to have nightmares when I was Bexleys age, it was around the time my mom left, that turned out to be a reoccurring theme in my dreams.

"You were the only one" I nod

"I guess I'm just kind of amazing" he smiles making me roll

"Don't flatter yourself Kazer" I quietly scoff as I rest my head against the wall behind me

I feel an arm snake around my waist and before I can resist, I'm being pulled to Caleb's side

"What are you doing?" I question him, he just shrugs without opening his eyes

"The walls uncomfortable" he says simply

I sigh loudly before resting my head against his chest

"Go to sleep princess, you're tired" he whispers

"You have to be uncomfortable"

"I'm fine, go to sleep" he mumbles

"Fine" I huff, "goodnight Co"

"Night princess"

Today was the first game of football playoffs, the boys had gone and almost undefeated season, only loosing one game against our schools biggest rivals, East Warren High. Other than that, they have never been better. It was starting to get cold as it was mid October, but the Texas heat has for the most part stayed strong.

"Are we going to Kanes after the game?" I ask my brothers as I join the group on the football field

"Of course, we have to have a victory meal after we win" Jordan smirks

These boys were probably the most cocky group of guys I've ever met. I mean they had a right to be, they were easily the best in the state.

"Wow cocky are we now?" Em questions

"Better back that shit up boys" I smirk

"Wait wheres Amy?" Beck asks looking at us

"She had to go home. But she said she'd be here for the game," Em informs them just as coach blows the whistle, becoming them over.

Em and I retreat to our usual spots in the bleachers while the boys start their usual pre-game practice.

"Hey Em, I think I'm gonna run home too and relax a little before the game, my stomachs kinda hurting" I say as I pick my stuff up "I'll be back for the game"

"Okay girlie" she smiles, taking out her calculus book "I'll see you to tonight" she grins as I run down the bleacher stairs

Once in the school I go straight to the boys locker room and to Arrex's locker. After putting his code in I grab the keys from his backpack and hurry back to his truck after locking his locker back up.

For some reason my stomach was killing me, I haven't eaten all day because of it and I had a killer headache. I needed to get rid of this before the game or I was going to be miserable.

"I'm home!" I yell through the house before remembering that Cheri and my dad were both out of town for he weekend leaving Tiny home alone.

My baby comes bounding down the hall to greet me, making me smile before running back in the kitchen, looking back occasionally to make sure I'm following. After giving him a few scoops of food, I myself make some toast before laying down on the couch, within minutes I fall fast asleep under the warmth of my blanket.

----------

"C'mon Belle, the games gonna start in twenty minutes" Em says,shaking me lightly, Tiny and Amy standing next to her also looking down at me.

I sit up quickly, no longer feeling pain in my head, thank God, but feeling the same constant pain in my stomach.

"Feeling any better?" Amy asks as I enter the kitchen

"My headache is gone" I shrug "stomach is still killing me though"

"Are you sure you want to go?" Em questions

"Of course! It's a playoff game, I have to go" I

smile "I'll be fine,"

"Okay, just please if you're going to throw up, don't do it on me" she playfully jokes

"I second that" Amy adds

"yeah yeah" I grin "let's go, games starting soon"

As we walk out, I take notice of our sweatshirts. We we were all matching. Amy had gotten a sweatshirt to match mine and Em's with her lucky number, 88, on the back with her last name. We liked to call ourselves the three Musketeers, the guys on the other hand, preferred three stooges.

"So do you think they'll win tonight?" Amy asks us

"I hope so, they're against Mistbrook. They are super dirty." I tell her

"Oh yeah didn't they almost loose to them?" Amy questions looking at em

"Yeah, they are cheaters, literally everyone hates them besides East Warren" Em scoffs

" It isn't surprising considering that they play the exact same way"

"Well hopefully they'll do well tonight" any huffs "I don't want any of them being hurt"

"That's not what we have to worry about" I can't help the grin that takes over my face "it's them fighting"

------

The score was close, we were winning by a field goal.

"WHY THE FUCK IS HE TAKING SHOTGUN?!" I question as I watch Caleb take on of the riskiest position for quaterback. It left him open.

"Belle!" Em scolds, pulling me back down in my seat

Okay so maybe I get a little heated watching football. I'm pretty sure everyone on that field heard me.

I watch as Caleb effortlessly dodges a hit as passes it to Beck downfield, only for Beck to be tackled from before the ball is even close to his possession. He went down hard, hitting his head, leaving the ball to bounce off the ground and out of bounds.

I watch as my twin lays there and no flags are thrown

It was clear pass interference! How the fuck did they not see this?! Now I was pissed, not only did this douche canoe land a dirty hit on my fucking brother, the dumbasses are actually letting him get away with it.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!" I yell once again jumping out of my seat. The stadium was quiet as we watch coach and Caleb help Beck off the field

"IT WAS CLEAR PASS INTERFERENCE!! ARE YOU GUYS FUCKING BLIND OR JUST STUPID?! I yell at the refs

"Belle!" Em scolds me again, pulling me down again.

I see the people around me laugh before glancing back at the field to see everyone on our team laughing. Okay I might've been a little loud.

I look at Beck, he just smiles and gives me two thumbs up. He was okay.

I roll my eyes with a grin at my stupid brother, always so dramatic, before glancing back at the refs huddle.

Apperently the refs heard me too, after reviewing the play, pass interference was called and our team was rewarded five yards and a first down.

"THROW THE FUCKING BALL KAZER!" I scream as he almost gets sacked.

He fires the ball downfield straight into Tylers arms, like usual no one is fast nor strong enough to pull him down. We get the extra point just as the clock runs out, we won by ten points.

"LETS GO!" I yell to Em and Amy as I run down the bleachers to the field

I make a beeline to the fence where our guys are already waiting. After quickly scaling the fence I jump into Jordans awaiting arms.

"You are so fucking loud, you had all of us dying" I hear Jordan say through the cheers

He eventually pits me down and I turn to Caleb who immediately picks me up and spins me around

"I have never been more thankful for your loud ass mouth" He whispers into my ear "you had me crying I was laughing so hard"

"I may have went a little overboard" I grin up

at him as he puts me down

"Wouldn't want it any other way princess" he chuckles as his hands leave my waist

I just laugh at him before turning to my four brothers and wrapping all of them up into a hug.

"Okay guys we gotta go, locker room meeting" Ace yells them as they all take off after the team to the locker rooms

"Hey Belle we're gonna go and get our table at Kanes," Em tells me as her and Amy start to leave

"Okay, I'm gonna wait and just drive over with the guys" I tell her before splitting away and walking towards the school.

Within fifteen minutes, the stadium had cleared out and I noticed I was the only one left outside. I contemplated going inside to wait but decided against it as it was a nice night and just went on my phone instead.

"Waiting for someone?" I notice a guy standing a few feet away. He was tall, about the same height as the twins, I couldn't tell the color of his eyes but his hair was definitely lighter, though it was messy and damp with sweat. He was still wearing a football uniform. Hes on Mistbrook.

"Just some friends" I shrug, looking back down at my phone

"Mind if I wait with you?"

"I don't care," I glance as him again, before he walks closer and leans against the wall next to me

"You were the one who was yelling" he smirks

"Mhm" I give yet another short answer "I'm not a very quiet person"

"You know you got Williams benched for the next game" he adds

"And? Maybe he should actually play football and not be a dick. That was all his fault, I just simply called him out on his shit." I glare at him, of course he blames me instead of the guy who actually was the reason behind the penalty.

"Wow, you're fiesty." He grins

"I prefer blunt and sarcastic, but I guess fiesty works" I shrug "Didn't your bus leave already?"

I had seen the Mistbrook bus leave a few minutes before this guys had walked up.

"Yeah I drove here" he says, spinning his keys around his finger

"Ah okay" I nod

"I like you, you're cute" he smiles, I hate to admit it, but it was an adorable smile. Now that he's closer I notice his big hazel-green eyes that are currently fixated on me

"Well you're making a huge mistake" I grin looking back towards the school to see if the guys were coming.

"Guys don't typically like me like that" I state simply, looking back at him. It was true, my brothers have scared almost everyone away.

"Well I do," The smile widens as he holds his hand out to me "I'm Dallas Arres,"

I take his hand and shake it softly

"Nice to meet you, I'm Bailey-Belle Kalanski, don't call be Bailey though"

"Oh Kalanski?" He smirks

"There it is" I grin looking away from him to

"The infamous Kalanski sister" he smirks

"Oh I'm infamous now? I kinda like that" I grin, "Might I ask why I'm so infamous though?"

"Well there's a few rumors" he begins

"Well let me hear them, I'll tell you if they're true or not"

"Okay, well one of the most common one I've heard, you are a little spitfire, but based on the little interaction we've had, I can already tell you are" he adds

He wasn't wrong. I was naturally a loud person who wasn't really afraid of speaking my mind.

"That is correct, growing up with the guys, I can admit, I am a loudnouth" I grin "next one"

"You are also one of the sweetest girls anyone will ever meet" he smiles "I have a feeling that ones true"

"Well depends who you are, if I love you, your one of the most important people in the world, if I hate you, then you're non existent" I "next"

"Okay this one is definitely the most popular. Specifically with the guys. You're hot" he smirks as he blantantly looks me up and down before meeting my eyes once again.

The only thing I could think of when he said this was what Caleb always said. He hated it when people called eachother hot, he always said calling them beautiful or gorgeous or cute held more meaning.

Hot is a temperature, not an adjective.

"That one is not true, by any means. Have you met my best friend? Or even the cheerleaders?" I reason as I feel heat rush to my cheeks. I was not the hot girl in any situation.

"You're cute when you blush" he grins at me

I just look down at my feet

"Give me your phone" he says holding his hand out

"Why?" I question as I carefully place my phone in his hand

"Cause I want to put my number in, duh" he smirks as he enters his name while entering my number into his phone.

"Who's 'sexiest most amazing guy in the world'" he asks, looking down at my phone.

I look at him with a confused look on my face, he turns my phone so I can see, I roll my eyes as I recognize the number. Of course it was Caleb .

"Kazer" I huff. I had no idea when he changed his name on my phone or how, last time I checked he didn't even know my password.

"Ah, well I just have to put myself in as 'hottest most sexy guy in the universe'" he smirks as he hands my phone

"Bails?" I hear Ace's voice behind me, I glance

behind me to see Ace, Tyler and Wes waiting.

"I gotta go, um-I'll see you around?" I tell quickly

"I plan on it" Dallas grins "see you later Belle" he nods before walking in the opposite direction.
