Shattered

Angelica's P.O.V-

I woke up to light invading my room, making me cover my eyes with my hands and groan loudly. I lazily got up and realized I wasn't in my ran down flat anymore, I was in the most cheerful and beautiful bedroom I had ever seen. I questioned myself where I was but the memories soon came rushing by. This happened to me constantly, I woke up not knowing where I was or who I was and in half a second I'd remember everything.

"Well then, what do we have to do today..." I said to no one in particular. I decided I'd explore the house for a bit and then take a long bath, change, pick up Liam and start working on the daily chores. I sighed, knowing I had work to do from now on.

I walked out of my new bedroom and looked to my right, where I saw two doors, one was another bedroom ( Little Liam's) and the other was the bathroom. I walked down the stairs after finding out I had a balcony at the end of the corridor. The living room was perfect, and the kitchen was just so welcoming. Close to the living room was a door that lead to an office/library of some sort. Whoever got the books has very good taste in literature. I smiled to myself and decided to take a shower, change into my uniform ( I don't even know why I have a uniform! ) and pick up Liam. It was only 6:30 am so I had enough time before I had to wake the boys up, which was around 8 am.

I went into the bathroom, did my business, took a bath, combed my hair and brushed my teeth. I walked out with a towel around my body and another on my hair. I went to my new closet and saw all these beautiful clothes and shoes, I almost cried. I picked up my uniform (it had a tag on it). It was very basic, and quite cute, actually. I blow dried my hair and brushed through it pulling it into a neat bun. I pull on my tights and boots and quickly grab my bag. Mr. Cowell said I'd have my own car, seeing I had my license up to date and all. I smiled as I saw a sticky note on the kitchen counter with the car keys along with the house keys. I picked them up and ran outside.

I looked behind me and finally got a clear view of what my new home looked like. It was adorable and so breath taking, not to mention I was happy everything was going well for me so far... I hope. I sighed happily and walked to the car parked next to the boy's car, that also had a sticky note on. I smiled at how considerate Mr. Cowell has been and made a mental note to pray for him later. I hopped in the car, opened the gates with the control system on my keys and drove off to the orphanage. I got there in about 10 minutes, and it was currently 7:10.

"Hello, how may I assist you?" The lady who answered the door said politely smiling at me. I shook her extended hand and smiled back.

"Hi, my name is Angelica Greyson I'm here to pick up Liam Greyson" I said handing her the papers the judge had given me after the court I had to attend in order to become my brother's guardian when I was ready. She took them from me and scanned through them quickly. She nodded and told me to follow her. I did as told and we walked into a small office with Victorian like furniture. She sat and motioned me to take a seat myself. She ran through the papers again and nodded.

"Are you in conditions to raise him up and provide him with at least the basic?" She asked peering at me from her glasses. I nodded and handed her my contract and documents. She scanned through them as well, signed my guardian papers and gave them back to me. I signed them where it was needed and handed them to her. She put them in a brown envelope and placed it inside her drawer. She smiled up at me, standing up. I followed her as she lead me to my little brother's dorm.

"He's been waiting excitedly for your return. He kept saying his 'big sis' would come back and save him" She said laughing and putting air quotes on the phrase 'big sis'. I smiled and chuckled.

"I've been agitated myself, I've missed the little guy..." I trailed off sadly, remembering the last time we saw each other. It was at the court. My father was on one side of the room and I was on the other. Liam sat next to the judge and he was crying silently. When the judge decided to lock my dad up, he also decided that I would be Liam's guardian as soon as I was 18 and had the conditions for him to live. He was taken from my arms by a security guard that drove him to this orphanage. I remember crying, both of happiness and sadness. Happiness because we were now free from father, sadness because I couldn't stay with my brother...

"Liam, there's someone that would like to see you..." She said before opening the door wider. Liam looked up and his eyes widened. He stood up and ran with his little legs in my direction, crying. Tears were in my eyes as I crouched down and picked him up, spinning with him in my arms. He sniffled in m hair and began laughing but he was still crying.

"I've miss you big sis!" He exclaimed kissing my cheek. I smiled widely and kissed his.

"I've missed you too big guy!" I gave him a big hug and set him down.

"Go get your things, I'll help you." He quickly nodded and ran back to his room to get out his suitcase. He threw his clothes in and I raised an eyebrow at him. He rolled his eyes and handed it to me, as if challenging me to do better. I neatly folded all of his clothes and packed them. He got his jacket and scarf on along with his glasses.

"Here are his papers, medical numbers, everything! I'm sure you'll be more than just a sister to him" The lady smiled warmly at us while Liam said goodbye to his friends. I promised to bring him back to visit them and play, making him jump and hug me again. I laughed and held his suitcase in one hand along with the papers and his hand with my other hand. We walked out waving goodbye and I placed his things in the back of the car. I lifted him up and settled him on the car seat and buckled him up. I closed the door, got in and drove back to the mansion.

"I wove you so much baby! I've missed you big guy!" I said into his neck once we got there and I had gotten him inside our new house. He giggled and kissed my cheek. Now I felt complete.
