the young man, well he worked mostly afternoon and night and tried to pick up as many shifts as he could in order to keep everything peachy, and so the system didn't touch him when it came to abrielle. today, well was his day off though and what was he doing with it? well, one would be shocked because this kitchen hadb't been used by him...marley was doing the right thing by sitting on the floor by the couch this was going to be a bit of a disaster! what someone would see walking into this? matthew in an apron, a cook book, and the ingrediants about the counter! the young man was attempting to make something good for his little sister to eat! she had to be sick of take out and some of the other food he had served up in this bitch! the twenty one year old read over the directions and looked at the stuff wishing it would all magically hop in the proper place and taste amazing.
"marleeeeyy help meeee" he pouted over the counter to a dog that didnt even budge. he laughed and then he went to work! how hard could it be to make some bomb ass lasagna? as long as he followed the directions he could do it! the boy did it when it came to drinks...he needed to master another art, keeping that tummy of his and his sister's full! "we got this marley.." he said seeing as he had stuff going good it seemed but marley was out! time passed and the clock kept ticking on he looked down at the thing he called lasagna after...two hours? the boy looked at the clock and hoped abriele would but wouldn't be home soon! he wanted to surprise her, but not have her worrying he was going to burn down the complex's! soon enough he had that puppy in the oven and now it was time to clean up some of his mess. the boy didn't rush with this cause he didn't want anything to break. the door still hadn't opened. maybe he would make it! though he doubted she'd be out long enough for him to get all this on the table and shish! she'd walk into a good smell at least!
next step was the salad! that was easy he had a bagged one and he cut stuff up on the side she could add if she wanted. he didn't want her to not eat the salad cause she didn't like the flavoring of something. there was tamato's, onions, avacado, cucumbers, and of course the lettuce. he covered that stuff up and put it in the fridge. bread, salad, and lasagna the ballards were eating good tonight. he looked at the timer on the oven and the cleaning job he did! now he could really surprise her! he liked doing that cause he liked seeing his sister happy and smiling! marleys head rose up and he went to the door wagging his tail. was it cause? probably! that dog had a sense of elle! it was crazy. "thanks bro i see how it is" he said shaking his head and hurrying to the couch and put his feet on the coffee table and turned on the tv. the apartment well it had the kitchen, dining, and living room connected and then a hall with two closets one with a washer and dryer and one for appliances and crap. there was two bedrooms. matt took the smaller one because girls had more stuff and then there was a bathroom! it worked wonders for the three of them! he was proud of where and who he lived with. "elllllle" he said smiling up at her from the couch. "how was your day?" he asked acting normal like he always did when he was home and she walked through the door. he would have went and hugged her but the damn dog beat him to it so he was being jealous and pouty and waiting for her to realize what was going on?!

it had been a long day.. she was ready to just go home and relax, spend some time with her older brother. she didn't mind school, it helped take her mind off of things, when she wasn't crumbling under boys gazes or how close they were to her. she let out a sigh as she walked home, humming quietly to herself. she let her blue-green eyes look around her, and it was such a beautiful day. this was one of those days she would spend her whole day outside and just letting herself go crazy in her photography. but she needed to get home! however... matty wouldn't miss her too much if she didn't come straight home, surely?
she pulled her phone out of her pocket and looked down at the time, before biting down on her bottom lip and looked back up around her. it was such a beautiful day, and she didn't want it to go go waste. so, with a sigh, but also with a smile on her lips, she pulled her canon photography camera out of her bag and made her way down to the park. it was the perfect place to take some photos for her portfolio. she smiled when she made it there and looked around for some inspiration. every once in a while, she would stop and take a few pictures of the landscape in front of her, and then she sat down, watching the kids play on the playground. oh, how she wished she could have been that carefree. but instead, she had to grow up earlier than she should have. suddenly, she felt her jeans give a small tug and she looked down to see a little girl looking up at her with a smile. then, the girl pointed at her camera, "do you take pictures?" the young girl, who couldn't be any older than four, asked her.
that made a huge smile come to elle's face and she nodded her head, "yeah, i do.." she said, looking down at the camera that was hanging around her neck. the young girl grinned and she pulled her by her hand, "take my picture!" abrielle couldn't help but let out a big laugh and nod her head, "alright then, give me a big smile," she said, bringing her camera up. she took some pictures of the small girl just standing there, smiling and being silly, before she told her to go play on the playground. while the young girl played, she took pictures of her playing. when she felt like had enough, elle called her over, "what's your name?" she asked, bending down to the young girls level, "rachel," she said, a huge grin on her face, "well, rachel, it's been a pleasure taking pictures of you. i hope to see you again soon, but i have to go." suddenly, rachel launched herself at elle and hugged her. it took her a moment, but she hugged her back with a smile. she waved over to rachel's mom, whom had stood next to her sometimes. she had asked her to send some pictures to her when they were done. then, she was off. she couldn't wait to edit these pictures!
finally, abrielle was home. she walked in with a content sigh, before grinning as she saw marley. she bent down and scratched the dog behind the ears, before hearing her brother's voice. she stood back up to her normal height and smiled over at him, walked over to him, "school was alright, as always. nothing special. i went to the park today and took some pictures. this little girl was so ecstatic about me taking pictures of her, the perfect model," she said, grinning at the memory. she looked around for a moment, before looking back at him with a raised eyebrow, "what's that i smell?"

the cooking thing, well he had never been the best at it but he was trying tonight so him and elle would have some delight in their tummies that was home made. it made him smile that she was giving him plenty of time to figure this stuff out but at the same time deep down the pit of his stomach he was worried. if anything happened to elle he would go nuts. it was bad enough bad things already happened to her and it pained him to know, but he handled it well in his mind. she was away from that life and they never had to tell a soul. her secret was horrible! though he was always there to protect her and marley was as well for protection. it was an aweful thing to really not remember and have to keep im, but he was always there for her if she ever wanted to talk or needed a shoulder to cry on. it would be a wrotten day in hell if her ever let their parents close enough to elle ever again to mess up the life she had now. she enjoyed kids, marley, photography, and he loved the smile over anything.
when things were off and cooking he kept looking at his phone for a text or a missed call, but matty was trying not to be over bearing. elle knew how worried he could be sometimes he could be such a little worry wart. the boy hoped he didn't seem overly so though, because he knew an important part of being a teen girl was space and giving her the right amount of space and let her be a teenager. she was a good kid and he was proud of her and proud to be living with her and greatful for the relationship they had! marley and him were on their own till the dinner was all put away and the prettier of the two ballards came in and marley was the first one to hog her attention up. though it did make him smile, because he liked that dog and he was glad that i loved elle and was attracted to elle. the pair of them were cute his little sister who wasn't so little and a mans best friend. it was their home the three of them as long as they needed it. he'd be happy to keep both of them here forever, but he did know in a year or so there would be a chance elle would want to go to college and gain further independence.
matthew smiled when she said her day was alright, because he knew school was school. it was nothing special, but he hoped it would be with friends or something. the young man wouldn't pry or anything until a boy came in the picture. elle would probably be mad at him, but matt would hunt any boy down and go on a date with him to make sure he knew how important elle was to him, and that he wanted to get to know him, but that was the easy part. the other part was to instill fear, but at this point the young man had not heard or seen any boy. which was odd, because elle was a pretty girl, but he did understand she could be reserve. a smirk played on his lips when he said that she had the perfect kid model. "hey should i be jealous or something i thought i was the prefect model?" though of course he was teasing her. he did like that she had a way with children and that she had a child model. it made him feel good she was nice and safe. "when you get those pictures up can i see your pretty little model thats not me?" he asked with a grin. he really did like looking at her pictures she was extremely talented!
when she asked what that smell was he grinned. "i cooked us lasagna and didn't burn the complex down" he said standing up extremely proud of himself. "i figured it was time to try something other then mac n cheese or pizza." he said smiling now as he went over to uncover his master peice for her.
