It didn't turn out on what I expected. Once that happened at the dinner table every one was staring at me and Iris looks scared and as for my brothers where some was shock or proud including father.

Right now we were walking to his office. What I meant by we—I meant me and Iris. He wanted to discuss some 'important matters' as he liked to say.

Once inside the office we both sit in a chair that was in-front of his desk. The rest of our brothers was standing over father who was sitting down in the chair.

"We ask you guys here so you can hear the rules I have while you will be staying here with me" Carlos said

I rolled my eyes after hearing them words come out of his mouth. It ain't no point in listening if I'm not going to follow.

He takes out two sheet of paper. Lawd don't tell me that this man type this shit out.

RULES

1. Respect me and your brothers 2. Expect Verbal Answers 3. No boys/ No cursing 4. Excels in school 5.Curfew at 11:00 6. Ask for permission before leaving the house 7. Never go to the Basement

This is some bullshit.

I read over the paper.

"Do you agree" father ask to which iris shake her head frantic which got a smile out of him to which I rolled my eyes

"Sadly to say boys but I will not be following any of these rules" I say as I split the paper to the end.

I have a good memory when it comes to memorizing things.

All my brothers looked enraged including father.

"YOU NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE A FUCKING BRAT AND FOLLOW THESE RULES. WE GET IT, YOU HAD A PERFECT LIFE. STOP ACTING LIKE A STUCK UP PRINCESS." Victor yelled.

Perfect life....really?—my life was far from perfect.

"You think after coming into my life after 12 years you can demand stuff and think I'm supposed to follow this shit huh"

"We'll guess what—my life wasn't fucking perfect. It would have been fine if they my so called parents stayed alive a little longer so I wouldn't have to deal with this shit" I said

The room was quiet for a moment before I spoke again

"And as for this rules—

1. You just don't demand respect. It is given and earned. Respect me and I'll respect you. 2.Why would u demand me to talk. If I nod my head you would understand that I'm saying yes right?

"RIGHT" I asked no one in particular

I got a nod from Alex. It's good to know he's listening.

"Now 3—

3.How do you fucking know if I'm not into girls which I'm not but if I want to date a boys or have one as my friend I will do as I pleased. And no cursing...really. Did you not just hear what came out of Victor mouth so that's a NO. 4. I really don't have a problem with school so we good with this one except maybe my fights 5. A curfew really to which I'm not going to listen 6. I don't have to ask for permission to go somewhere. If I feel like going out I will go on my own free will. 7. The basement. What's down in the basement

I say and I saw a nervous look grow on Alex face. The fucker just gave them away.

But anyway as long as you don't go through my personal stuff then I won't go by the basement"

"Yeah yeah sure whatever to get you off my case. Feels like you glaring a hole in the side of my head" dad say

I smiled, a small smile but was interrupted, "Dad you can't do that, what about the No boys rules"Victor ask

"That will only cause her to go for it anyway. What's the point in arguing with her knowing she ain't gonna agree" he said rubbing his temple

"But there is something I wanted to talk to you two about" he says looking directly at us.

"So y'all last names are change to ours which is 'Romano' he said

"So Iris, in school you have B and C's. I would like you to pull that up and your fine on everything else. You may leave if you want too" he said

"O-ok" she got out her chair leaving the office.

"So Ivy your an advanced student with a high IQ, I'm impressed. But there is a problem about your behavior. You have way to many fights and a lot of detention formed. We have to do less of that"

I really already knew where this was going.

"Maybe if no one bother 's me or some stuck up bitch thinking they're better than come up to my face and try to fight when they know they not good, well I'll just beat this ass" I say

"But anyway as I already said , forgot your fucking rules. So just for future preferences, you just going to get a lots of phone calls". I said standing up, all there's eyes on me

"The point of this conversation is to tell you not—" I left not wanting to here no more

CARLOS ROMANO POV

"The point of this conversation is to tell you not—" she walked out

She walked out with me looking at her shock. Is she not fucking scared.

"Did she just walk out when I was speaking" I ask still shocked from the moment

"Yes dad" Xavier said with a smirk looking quite amused.

"Ok you dipshit can get the fuck out my office" I said pointing towards the door.

"But dad" Alex said

"Nope I'll deal with y'all tomorrow. Leave me alone and don't bother me" I say still motioning my hand towards the door.

Once they left, I just went into thought.

I'm really happy the girls are back home and this cause me to be in their life more. I wanna hug Ivy tho. Just realizing it now...I NEVER GOT MY HUG.

But I'll give her times if she want to talk about anything. I just hope it's nothing bad.

I went to the wall and pour some scotch in a glass cup because taking a sip feeling the strong sensation burning through my throat.

Once finish, I put the glass down and went to check on the girls.

First I went to Iris and open the door to see her getting ready to lay down in the bed.

She looked surprised when I came peeking my head through her room seeing brightly colors on her wall.

"Goodnight, I love you " she smiled before saying Goodnight I love you.

That bright joy inside of me but now let's see about Ivy.

I opened the door to her room to see everything pitch black but the tv was on. Like her walls and bed sheets were just black. Now this is my taste.

She just had some popcorn and on her phone. She looked towards me.

"Goodnight, I love you"

"Yeah, yeah whatever old man" she said as I gasp at her

"I am not old. I don't look a day past old"

"Yeah, yeah whatever helps you sleep at night"

I just scoffed at her before saying, "Goodnight"

"Night" she says

"I love you" I say trying to get it out of her

"I like hate you too" she says before turning back to eating her popcorn in this dark room.

"I'm not even finna get on you. At least you said like" I said before walking out.

See this what I be talking about.

How is one of them joyful and bright while the other twin dark and mysterious like me.

This is the biggest difference between them and for one they don't communicate at all like twins supposed to.

There might be something that went on that I don't know about Ivy.

Or they just have different personalities.

I'll have to figure out......
