Me and Noah hadn't spoken since our last little discussion. He had changed and I don't like who he's become. Before the accident he was being different but now he's completely changed. The sweet Noah that I once knew was gone. Replaced was someone who I didn't recognise as my brother.

I was extremely tired. My father had grounded Noah for two months. He took away his keys to his car just in case, but my father knew that Noah can barely get back in a car, let alone drive it.

"Quinn?!" Someone shouted.
"Yeah?" I shouted back.
"Come down here." They said and I think it was David.

I ran downstairs and found my whole family in the Living room.

"What's this about now? Haven't we had enough family meetings for now?" I snapped.
"Loose the attitude young lady." My father scolded me.

Noah was stood with his arms folded with his back to me. I was just glad I couldn't see his pathetic face.

"Your cousins are going to arrive tonight and all of you will be starting school the next day. However before they come, I would like this situation to be solved." He said.
"What situation?" Fraser asked playing dumb.
"I don't know maybe the fact that none of you are getting along. Noah and Quinn are constantly at each other's necks and don't think I can't tell that you and David aren't getting along."' My father said to Fraser. "And the fact that something is also going on between David and Quinn. You four think I am stupid, but I am not. I understand I can't just tell you to get on after everything, but I expect you to all be civil, especially when your cousins are here. Understand?" My father ranted.
"Yes." We all replied.
"Good. Now Fraser Quinn and Noah you can clean the house up, whilst me and David go and pick your other brother up from the train station. " he was talking about Harry as he had been away go visit my stepdad in prison.
"Daddy can't i come with you?" I asked.
"No! Do as your told." My father shouted. "David, lets go." My father said and they left.

Noah turned around when the door slammed shut. "Oh Daddy can't I come with you?" Noah mocked. "Your pathetic." He continued and started laughing. He walked towards me and pushed past me.
"Wow dude, leave her alone." Fraser said.
"And what are you going to do About it, little brother?" Noah said standing over him. Fraser didn't do anything he just left it.

I sighed. Noah was completely lost.
He's not my brother any more and frankly I don't care. I walked past him trying to leave, but Noah grabbed my arm.

"Your not going anywhere little sister." He told me, now dragging me towards the kitchen.
"Stop being a jerk, why can't you just let me go?!" I snapped.
"Because dad said we have to clean and I'm not going to do it so that means you are going to have to." He told me.

When we reached the kitchen he pushed me towards the sink and told me to start washing the dishes. If he thinks I'm going to be forced to do all the work and let him sit on his arse he's got another thing coming.

"I'm not going to do what you tell me to." I told him.
"Yes you are and you will." Noah told me.
"Why would I?"
"Because of you don't I will make your life at school a living hell. You have my word." He threatened.
"One thing you should know about me Noah, is my ability to hold a grudge. If you stray down the road of making an enemy of me, then if you ever want to come back from this then it will be along time until our relationship can ever be the same."
"Do you think I care about our relationship anymore. As far as I'm concerned, your just the kid my mother decided to take. Maybe if you never existed everything would be alright." He told me.
"Well I'm glad you feel that way. I'm not as weak as I used to be Noah and if you think you saying that is going to destroy me, then your wrong. I'm done with you. I'm not going to clean, you can do it. Go ahead and make my life at school a misery. I can handle it." I responded and left.

I made my way around the house. I was bored and this house was so big that there was still rooms I hadn't been in. I found my self in the attic by the end of it. It may be creepy, but Noah had already come looking for me to force me to to jobs. The only way I could get away from him was to hide.

"Quinn Clark! Where are you?!" Okay the person who shouted that was my father not Noah, so I had best get downstairs.

As quickly as possible I made my way downstairs and towards the front door. "Quinn." Harry said. My once miserable face now had a smile! Harry wrapped his arms around me and spun me around. "I've missed you so much!" I said.
"Me too sis." Harry replied. We hadn't seen each other for a bit and I did truly miss him.
"Is the house tidy?" My father interrupted.
"Yes it is." Fraser said.
"Very well. Don't disturb me until your cousins arrive. If there is any arguments, I will trust David to handle it as I'm sick to death of them. For now I want you to all remain in the lounge." My father told us and left us to go to his study.

"Quinn you're so dead." Noah said to me. I rolled my eyes and walked towards the lounge. The others had gone, now it was just me and Noah in the hallway, but I was heading to the Lounge.
"Nice to know brother." I replied just as I was in the company of the others.

Noah followed me, but he wasn't done. "Quinn? Don't you dare walk away from me."
"To bad." I replied simply.
"Your so full of yourself."
"Your such a dick."
"Don't you call me that!" He said. He was so angry that he picked up the fireplace poker and was going to take a swing. I froze. "Go on then hit me. I dare you." He took a swing, but someone else grabbed hold of it before he could. It was David.
"Stop it ." He said.
"No. Can't you see? He's changed, he's different , he's become so cruel." I said.
"He may of changed Quinn, but what about you? Haven't you changed? Last time i checked you would of been terrified if someone did what he just did and you would of stopped it all, instead of provoking him. You've become reckless. What's happened to him? But really what's happened to you?" David said. I rolled my eyes.
"You always have to take control don't you David? Ever you ever thought, maybe you should stop getting involved in other people's business that doesn't concern you?!" I shouted.

Just after I said that my cousins, the ones I had never met appeared in the doorway. They looked at me in shock and then at my brothers.

"Hey." The tallest and I'm guessing oldest one said.
"Hi, mason? Right?" David said trying to act normal like I hadn't just had a go at him.
"Taking control again." I muttered. David sent me a death glare and I just shrugged.
"Just telling the truth and you know it." I said. Fraser and Harry exchanged looks.
"Sorry, but let us just have a word. We'll be back In a minute." Harry said, taking me and Fraser following behind us out of the room.

As soon as we were alone Harry started "Quinn you need to stop it! George is going to
Become so mad with you." Harry Warned.
"Can people stop telling me what to do?!"
"Quinn-" Harry started.
"No. Stop. I'm not five, stop treating me like a little kid!" I said.
"You are a little kid. We are older than you because your our little sister, which means you have to do as we say. Do as your told." Fraser ranted.
"How about... NO." I replied and walked back into the lounge before they could stop me.

However when I got back in, my dad was their. "Ah Quinn, Fraser and Harry. Meet mason, Jacob and Stefan." Our father introduced. We smiled politely, trying to act as if nothing had just happened. "Hi." Harry said and man hugged each just like Fraser. I stayed back, unsure what to do. I was a bit nervous to be honest. "Hi." Mason said to me. I smiled.
"Hey." He was obviously the oldest, I could tell as mason was the tallest, then Jacob and then Stefan. "Quinn." My father warned, he could tell I wasn't so into opening up to them. I copied my brothers and hugged each of them. It was weird.

We spent sometime as a family in the lounge. We well they talked and they got to know each other. I just watched and listened. I know them now, but they don't know me.

I was sat between Fraser and Harry, I was still mad, but I didn't want to sit with strangers or the enemy.

"How old are you three now?" My father asked.
"I'm 18, Jacobs 17 and Stefan's 16." Mason told him.
"Ah your the same age as harry and noah." my father said directly to jacob. "and you and fraser are the same age." my father continued, but this time to mason. (A/N sorry they've become older now as this is a year or so later) "Great, i'm still the youngest that's great." i said, knowing they could hear me. "more people to tell me what i should and shouldn't do." however i muttered that bit.
"how old are you?" mason asked me. he seemed nice, but i don't tend to go on first impressions.
"fourteen." i told him and he nodded.
"so Davids the oldest then mason, Jacob, harry, noah, fraser stefan and then me?" i asked clarrifying, what? i like to know details. age is power so i know my place, but seeing as though mines at the bottom i need to know who's above me.
"no, not exactly. the age order even though i dont know why you need it is David, Mason, Harry, Jacob, Noah, Stefan, Fraser and then you quinn." i got told.
"can't someone be younger than me that's a guy? i'm sick of the second youngest." fraser complained.
"you can't help when you were born, believe me i know." i said with a sigh.
"have you boys eaten, we can order pizza." my dad said.
"no we haven't." jacob told him.
"pizza it is. i'll leave you all to it, you can get to know eachother." my father said and left.

we stood their akwardly until i got bored. "well i'm out of here." i said walking towards the door.
"no, your not going anywhere." noah said standing in my way.
"what's it to you?" i snapped.

Fraser's P.O.V

i rolled my eyes, watching my older brother and little sister argue. it was getting old and boring. she had such a bad attitude at the moment, i don't know what has gotten into her. but i'm not sure i want to know? i can understand Noah and i feel like i should just leave him as he needs time. i get quinn was worried about her friend, but he was alright. were they ever really that good friends? they better not of been anything more than friends because no guy is touching my little sister. i frowned when i realised what i just said to myself. "did i really care about quinn that much now?" i said to myself outloud, but no one heard. well she is my sister and i'm used to her. i'm just not used to her being such a bitch.

"will the pair of you shut up!" harry shouted.
"he wont let me through, i'm just trying to get by, i'm not doing anything." she said trying to act innoccent, but i'm pretty sure it was an act. she's acting like a bitch and she knows it.
"why don't you sit down, dad wants us in here." david said.
"but i want to leave." she complained.
"grow up quinn, stop acting like a baby. you don't always get what you want." harry said, she looked taken back. everything became silent.
"fine." she said and sat down in the arm chair in a huff. she crossed her arms and wouldn't make eye contact with any of us. peace at last.

Hey thankyou so much, i can't believe how many people have read the previous book. i really hope you like it. what do you think to their cousins? like or ...? please comment what you think i really appreciate it. i know the other book had a really crap ending and i'm sorry for that, but i had kind of run out of ideas for that particular story. hopefully the next one, this one, the sequel to my brothers will be better. what do you think to Noah and quinns fight? who's side are you on? Noah or quinn, please comment. and also what do you think to bringing ethan back as a memory. i know he was only in the beggining of the last book, but i guess i thought why not? thankyou so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
