A Large Family

- Nath, do you have a place to stay? Because for me you can both stay at my house. - I said, and it's true, maybe they have nowhere to stay.

- The truth is that no ... I forged all the documents of both to be able to go on the plane and I have nowhere to stay, but I don't want to bother you or be a burden to you.- He said crestfallen.

- You are not a burden to my fool, I would love to help you and Ethan. - If it were anybody who asked me to stay at my house or speak to him, but in this case I have seen how both are and I am not going to leave a small child on the street, because for Nathan to have to do something like fake is that something bad happened to them, I'm not going to ignore them.

- Ok, if you want. - He says.

- Of course I want to, I'm not going to leave you alone. - I smiled looking at them both - Come on.

- I said approaching the place where my parents are. - Hellooo, hey, they are Nathaniel - greeted the eldest - and Ethan, his brother - the latter greeted, more timid and without taking his eyes off my father.- Could you come with us please? They have nowhere to go. - And now is when I use my great acting skills to put on the best sad face in the world, I don't want them to be left wandering the streets or someone to hurt them. My parents take me away from them to a more private place.

- No Melody, who do you think you are? Do you know them on a flight and already want to bring them home? .- My father says.

- And what do I do? They probably don't have anyone, just each other and one of them is a child, I'm not going to leave them alone.

- Ok Mel, but with two conditions, help us around the house and that they continue studying, both, any disobedience and we call the juvenile center, how much money do they have? - My father says returning to where they were.

"Enough to pay for my studies and my brother's" says Nathaniel.

"Very well, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask us," says my mother, to which Nathaniel nods while my father frowns.

We all get in the car, we are a little tight with all our things but we can hold on until we get home, once I see it there, it is an incredible three-story red house with white window edges, after entering all the things I observe the first floor, as soon as you enter there is a staircase to climb to reach all the floors, there are two rooms on the right side, a living room in front of them and in the corner a bathroom.

On the second floor there is a gigantic living room joined to a kitchen and a corridor that leads to a small room on the right side, a larger room on the left side and in the background a bathroom, the roof was divided, one half was open free and the other half is covered and inside it there was another living room joined to a kitchen and a bathroom in the corner. You can tell that the house was made to be divided into floors, but I suppose my parents bought it whole.

"Mel, we are going to stay on the second floor and you too, let your friends decide where they want to stay." My father says and goes up to the second floor. I walk over to Nathaniel.

- Hey Nath, what room do you want to stay? - I say - If you want you can stay here, on the first floor, you take that room and Ethan can take that other - I say pointing to the rooms.

- Thank you very much Melody - And suddenly she hugged me - thanks for everything. - I reciprocated in the embrace until little by little it fell apart.

- You're welcome Nathaniel, with you here I feel more ... accompanied.

- Wow!!! Thanks Mel !! - Said the little one, jumping up for me to catch it and giving me a hug.

- You're welcome, hey, tomorrow we have to go find our uniforms and our material so we have to get up early because there are also classes so take tuna and millet sandwiches and go to sleep that tomorrow a great day awaits us !!

The brothers looked at each other and shouted - Yes ma'am !! - Putting a hand to his forehead and I went up to the second floor laughing, I see that my parents are already sleeping, so I quickly take a shower, eat a tuna and millet sandwich, brush my teeth and go to sleep.

I slowly open my eyes when I notice how a small body tries to lift me up, so I guess it's Ethan - What's wrong with you little one? - He whispered so that no one wakes up.

- I had a nightmare Mel, can I stay with you? - He says while blushing a little, I can't see it from here but I know, it shows in his voice.

- Sure Ethan, come here - I make a hole for the little one and he quickly gets on the bed, I approach him, I tuck him in and hug him, so that he feels protected.- Good night little one - And I hear a slight "Good night Mel "and I fall asleep again.

I am in a small room, with a small bed, next to me there is a child of about six years old, he is crying, suddenly someone opens the door, it is a woman, he tried to see his face, I am about to achieve it when ... (PIPIPIP ... PIPIPI ... PIPIPIP ...) I swear that as that alarm clock continues to charge my dreams I CARRY IT OUT !!!!

I open my eyes and see Ethan sleeping peacefully, he is like a little angel, very similar to his brother, what will they hide? The truth is that this whole situation makes me feel strange, like out of place, I never imagined living in another place that was not my old house or feeling that I should be with these two brothers and on top of that to be nothing short of being a special agent, It is a life that I did not expect, but I like it. I remember that today there are classes at the new school, I get up without waking up the little one and very quietly take a shower, I dress very simply with jeans, a white tank top and an open plaid shirt on top and when I finish I make pancakes for everyone.

- Hey little one, wake up, today it's school time. - I tell little Ethan while I try to wake him up with gentle caresses, fortunately he has a good awakening and gets up rubbing his eyes with his little hands. I take it and feel it in a chair at the table. - Eth eat first. I made you pancakes! - I cut his pancake into small pieces and go down to see if Nath has already woken up, since when have I been so responsible, they will ask? Well, if the situation requires it ... perhaps it is also due to the fact that soon I'm going to be a secret agent or a spy. I open the door where Nath is staying, I go in and start to wake him up, he gets up the first time and goes to the room where Ethan was supposed to stay - Nathan, Ethan is upstairs - I whisper, he stares at me confused . - He had a nightmare and he stayed to sleep with me, don't worry.

Los dos subimos para empezar a comer, mis padres ya habían comido y estaban a punto de irse, nos despedimos y comencé a comer.

Cuando terminamos los hermanos se van a sus habitaciones a cambiarse mientras yo me quedo probando los filtros de Snapchat, el primero en terminar fue Ethan y veo que se había puesto la ropa al revés, lo que me provocó una leve risa.

- Ethan te pones la camisa al revés - le digo y al instante veo como se pone serio y sus ojos comienzan a lagrimear. No puedo soportar verlo llorar, tengo esa sensación y terminaré llorando también. - Oh, no no no, por favor amor no llores.- No voy a decirle a la gente "amor", es más, desconfío mucho de todos y soy muy callado, pero este niño necesita amor, siento la necesidad de llamarlo así. puedes confiar en mi.

- Es ... es que siempre me pongo la ropa ... mami ...- me dice llorando, trato de calmarlo y secar las lágrimas de su rostro.

- Tranquilo, mira, - le quito la remera y le enseño la etiqueta - Esta etiqueta va en la espalda, en tu espalda, y así con toda la ropa, es fácil pequeño.- Le digo ayudándolo a ponerse su camisa, tomo un peine y le peino el cabello. - Eso es, te ves preciosa - le digo y se sonroja, ¡qué lindo!
