Not So Sweet Sixteen

I woke up to silence at 6:30 am, I thought this never happens. I thought that’s strange, it’s never this quiet. Oh well, I figured I’d hurry up and get in the shower before my annoying brother got in the shower and we’d be late for school. Ran out of my room, and thought I smelled something metallic, but I shrugged it off and thought maybe mom was cooking something new in that thing she called an Instapot for breakfast. I took a shower, dried myself off, combed out my brunette hair that landed just above my shoulders. Decided it’s my birthday so I’ll put on some eyeliner, and mascara. My eyes are naturally pretty so I don’t put on too much makeup just enough to accentuate, dad would kill me if he saw me looking like a clown. I slid on my black boy shorts, black bra, and a nice yellow maxi skirt with a white tank top which brought out my olive skin. I spritzed some of my perfume on and I was out of the bathroom, as I was walking back to the bathroom I walked right and knocked on my brother’s door. I said Liam get your ass out of bed, you can have the bathroom if you don’t hurry we are going to be late. I opened his door and his bed was still a mess from last night, so I walked to my room and threw my clothes in the hamper. I grabbed my phone and threw it in my purse, and grabbed my bag for school. I saw a note outside my door on the floor and I picked it up, I didn’t recognize the handwriting but it said Happy Birthday, it’s going to be a wonderful day. I thought well that’s strange, I ran down the stairs and yelled to my mom, hey I’m going to pick up Sabine I don’t have time to eat, Love you. I ran out to my beat-up station wagon threw my purse in the car, and my bag. I went to turn the ignition on but realized I didn’t hear mom say she loved me back. I got out of the car leaving my car door open and jogged onto the porch and opened the door, I yelled mom, mom. No answer, that’s weird. Her car was still in the driveway, so I walked into the kitchen and that’s when it hit me the metallic smell. I screamed so loud I’m pretty sure I heard some glasses break, my mom was on the floor holding my brother who looked like he had been attacked by a wild animal. His shirt was torn to pieces and I could see deep claw marks oozing with blood, and where mom’s heart should have been there was a gaping hole now. I ran out the front door and I called my dad who was out of town for business, he didn’t answer, I called him again this time his secretary answered. I yelled through my tears telling her to get my father on the phone this f*****g minute, it was an emergency. My father answered in his usual calming voice, I sobbed as I told him they’re dead. My father instantly asked me to repeat myself, I told him Liam and Mom are dead. My father instantly told me to get in my car and lock the door and that he was sending me an address to go to, I told him I was going to call the police. My dad yelled at me, not to call the police and he would take care of it. He asked me if I touched anything and I said I hadn’t. He told me he loved me, dad hasn’t told me he loved me in years. Now I’m freaking out even more, but I got in the car and locked the door, he sent me an address and I plugged it into my GPS while on speaker with my dad. He told me that he is sending someone to come get me until he can get to me, and he told me that Jaxon was the man coming to take me someplace safe. Dad said he was on the first flight home; he was in Texas but he would be back on his private jet in a few hours.
I went to the address that my dad sent me, and I waited. Suddenly I saw this black Escalade pull behind me, and one pulled up beside me with tinted windows. A guy got out of the vehicle and I am already sweating from being nervous and trying my best to wipe the tears away from my eyes. The guy knocked on my window, he didn’t look much older than me but told me his name was Jaxon. He asked if I had everything from my car that I needed because I wouldn’t be coming back for it. I nodded as I grabbed my purse and my bag, he grabbed the bag away from me and carried it for me. Once I was in the Escalade with Jaxon, another guy got out of the Escalade that was parked behind me while the driver drove ahead with both vehicles in sync, I turned around and my vehicle was in flames and I shrieked and asked why the hell he did that. The driver looked at Jaxon, Jaxon looked at me and said that everything will be explained once my father arrives. I was screaming hysterically if anything happened to me my dad would kill them; truth be told I wasn’t sure if dad would even care if something happened to me. As I was crying, I shut my eyes and I felt the blackness take over my body with warmth.
I’m not sure how long I was out for, but I woke up to Jaxon picking me up and carrying me bridal style to the front door. I woke up and looked into his bright blue eyes, and though he was handsome. Jaxon chuckled and asked if I slept well, I mumbled something, and Jaxon put me down as two other men joined Jaxon in the main entry. Jaxon officially introduced himself to me and introduced me to Colton, and Ryan. I was so drawn to Colton, his olive skin, his defined muscles, his dark tousled hair, and those dark green eyes, he flashed me a smile. Ryan was the first to step forward and say that my dad will be here in an hour and he would be showing me to my room. Jaxon side stepped Ryan and told him that he would take over the tour and show me where my room is. Ryan and Colton looked at each other, and before they could say anything Jaxon whisked me off to show me my room.
