###### hey people so I don't even know if I'm going to keep this but my psychiatrist said it could help deal with my emotions so here it goes this is my story...######

A quite room, no lights on, music blasting from my earphones ... that's the perfect conditions to relax. Sadly in this house conditions like these don't occur that much. I guess being ten children doesn't help. Between all of them it's hard to have a moment were you don't have to help your little sister with homework or pick up the kitchen after your big brother makes breakfast. I can't say I really mind except when I want some alone time to think about my life.

This might be the right time to tell you my name and who I am. It's Elijah and I live with my 10 siblings in a small town of Quebec in Canada. My parents died a couple of years ago because of a poor decision. I hate talking about them even to my closest friends because well it hurts... Ah and my friends I don't have a lot of them. Really I only have two, Christopher and James. We all go to the same school but we're all in different grades so it's our hockey team that really brought us together. Between working together on the ice and sharing rooms in hotels we had to get along so while we were at it we became best friends.

Christopher is the gentle one. A lot of people don't believe he plays hockey as in our town it's always a rough game and many get beat up but it's like he has two personalities and the demon gets out during the games. He's always been the responsible one that tells us when we do something wrong and helps us fix our problems. He's semi long hair, big glasses, slender body and nerdy style defines him well. The only thing that make people look at him longer before knowing him is he's eyes. One of them is dark brown almost black but the other... well the other is a mix of blue and violet. Some get scared at first glance whilst others, most of them girls, fall for him. Chris has a little sister and two older brothers but sadly they all live with their mother while my best friend is stuck with his work obsessed dad.

James is the guy no one sees. It's hard to describe him because he's so bland. Even after spending five years of my life with him I still don't know much about him. Everything is secret with him and getting something out of his mouth makes you feel like you're trying to kill him of something. He usually follows us around and if something awkward is happening he finally opens his mouth to tell the funniest jokes. I swear to your it's the only time he really speaks! I don't know what his girlfriend and him do when they're alone because they certainly don't talk. Than again I don't think I really want to know what they do on their free time! James lives with us now because his mother died the same night as my parents. They were together that night ... deciding the fate of many people. He's father had left long ago and never looked back. Since James never talks I don't know how he feels about that. I never want to ask because well one I don't like talking about the family and second because I don't want to pressure him into telling me.

I'm sorry I do get quite distracted when I talk about my friends. But I guess it's hard not to they're some of the most important people in my life. But to get back to right now ... Argh... Wait I need the phone!

"Hello Marks' residence!"

"Hey El ... We wanted to know if you wanted to hang out? We're at Chris place but we can pick you up."

"Sorry J I can't right now Magz is home and I don't want to leave her alone."

"Yellow Lele! Do you want us to come over instead?" Great now Christopher is on the line.

"Sorry hon, me and James can't we need to leave for a family supper... I could still drive Chrisi over if you like?"

"Yeah sure Christopher you can come over. But just a warning Magz, Marco, O , Ted and Live are here so were going to have to look after them."

"Really? That's great I love your family Lele!!!!" You'd think he was lying but he's not... He like hanging out at my house even when I'm not there. He is a weird child! Ahahah.

"kk see you soon!" I know I'm grinning as I put the phone down because Ophelie is looking at me glaring.

"Why are you damn grinning so much?!"

"I dunno..." I mumble "by the way Christopher is coming over in about twenty!"

"Why'd you say you didn't know why you were grinning?! I'm 10 and even I know you're grinning cause your bromance is coming over!"

"Seriously I told you to stop calling us Bromance!"

She walks away and I smile even more at the idea of our bromance. If only it could be more... Okay so maybe I liked Chris a bit more than a friend and maybe I'm not so straight. At least I'm not in love with a straight guy okay! Man people get of my back!

I hear crying in the background and I get back to reality and hurry to Maggie's bed. I pick her up and start softly singing to her. She's the youngest of us all at 1 year old and she is the cutest thing you've ever seen. She grabs at my T shirt and I know she won't go back to sleep for another hour.

I feel a grad at my pants and look down. It's Marco... lovely Marco.

"Eli... can you help me draw a picture? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

I take it back what I said about my baby sister! All my younger siblings are the cutest.

"Yeah sure buddy just let me change Magz shirt cause it's full of slobber from when she slept. Oh and Marco? Christopher is coming over in a couple of minutes but you know the drill even if he knocks you don't answer the door okay?"

"YAY CHRISSSSSSSS! I won't answer the door I promise!"

I chuckle they all love him so much. Even my my big brother and big sister like him. They all consider him as family which is great. He's also great with the little ones .... Awww it's hard not to fall for him!

Talking about mister Devil I can hear the door bell wring.

BOP BOOOOOP BOOP BOOOOOOOOP

I know we have a weird door bell but my dad was obsessed with those and no one really wanted to get rid of it. My best friend liked it too which caused him to invent a baby single so every time he was at the door we knew it was him. He could honestly make me melt with he's childish behaviour.

I walked up to the door and answered the door still caring a smiling Maggie with a dirty shirt. When I opened the door I was crushed in a huge bear hug. Magz giggled and I laughed.

"Hey Chris!"

" Hey Magz! Oh hey Eli!"

"Hey why am I less important?" I asked fake sad.

"Oh you're always the most important to me Elijah!" He whispers in ear after taking he's converse off and we had walked to the kitchen him holding me from behind.

"EWWWW seriously people I love you but keep it for your room I don't want to see my brother getting all cozy with his boyfriend!!!" Live cried. She was sitting at the table eating soup.

"How many times do I have to say not to call him that!" I say.

"Fine your bromance!" She giggles and acts pissed off even though we all know it's not real. She runs of before I can catch her. Argh why were all my family members trying to make out our friendship as more than it is?!
