The Fault in Her Scars .

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock buzzing in my ear. I quickly reached over and slapped the off button, allowing the silence of the room to fall over me. I pushed back my bed cover and stepped onto the soft carpet and walked over to my mirror.
I was thankful I didn't have to go to school. My mom let me do online school for my senior year because I was being bullied so badly at school and could hardly take it anymore. I came home crying everyday and it went on for longest time, until my mom decided enough was enough.
But that didn't stop me from having to wake up. I pushed myself towards my mirror and threw on a grey shirt with jeans and put my hair into a bun. I smiled when I saw my tattoo. I only got it a few months ago, and after years of convincing my mom, I was so excited to finally have gotten it.
I checked my phone for any messages and was surprised to see one this early from my brother Vic.
Burrito Brother: Hey sissy, hopefully you woke up in time to come pick us up! Mom hasn't responded and we need both cars so please wake her up and come down here, our flight leaves in about twenty. I love you and cannot wait to see my favorite girl!

My eyes shot wide open. My brothers and the boys are coming home today. I ran down the hallway into my moms room and shook her awake. " We need to get ready and go to the airport! They're coming home today!" I squealed, unable to contain myself. "Shit! I overslept! Get in the car and start driving, I'll meet you there."
I ran down the stairs and threw my flip-flops on, grabbing my keys as I did this. I jogged to my car and jumped in and starting it. I peeled down my driveway and onto the road, hoping I would get there with an hour or so to spare.

I pulled into the airport parking garage and pulled into the first available spot. I ran into the airport and checked my phone. No texts from the boys, but mom texted to say she would be about thirty minutes. I knew they would be landing soon. I checked the arrivals board and saw I had about fifteen minutes before they got here, so I walked to Starbucks and bought myself a caramel frappe.
Grabbing my drink from the barista, I walked to the arrivals section and took a seat. Just as I sat down, a lady came over the intercom and announced "Flight 35 from London is now deboarding. Please retrieve your guests." I shot up and walked over to the gates. I searched the crowd for the boys but only saw people I didn't recognize. I looked down to check my phone and saw a message from my boyfriend when I heard my name being called.
"Taylor!!!!!" My eyes shot up as I saw Mike, Vic, Jaime, and Tony all running towards me as fast as they could. Mike having the longest legs, he reached me first and pulled me up into his arms.
"Taylor! I missed you so much! You've gotten so big since I last saw you! And so pretty! What am I going to do with you?!" Mike said, spinning me around. He finally put me down and I felt another pair of arms grip me.
Tony and Jaime hugged me tightly, each of them kissing a cheek. "I missed you too." I mumbled into each of their chests.
When they finally pulled away, I saw the person I had missed more than anything. Vic pulled me in for a hug and I let the tears fall. Him and I had always been the closest and he had always been so protective, more so than Mike. And I thought Mike was bad.
Vic kissed my forehead and let himself cry too. " I missed you Taylor. More than anything."
