Evelyn Mercer was a liked lady in the area. She was known for her foster care, and ended up helping many kids. Your mother did the same, and they became friends. Your mother then came across four girls. She came across Sabrina first, a girl about 15 at the time. She was a runaway, trying to escape her family. She had a criminal record, so no one wanted her. She was living on the streets before your mom came along. Next, was Billie. She was in a foster home before, but the foster parents needed to get the kids out, due to them moving. Your mom took Billie immediately after meeting her. She was sweet and her former foster parents described her to have a bit of family trauma. It turned out her big brother took care of her most of her childhood. Then came Olivia. She was a great kid. She was in need of a home because her parents were deemed unfit, and were insistant on keeping her away from other family members due to past experiences. Lastly, came Tate. You. You had been tossed from home to home. "No one wants the broken ones," was what they would say. Your mother could see through it. You were just scared. You were heavily abused by your biological parents, and they just threw you into the nearest home when you turned 12. You weren't a bad kid, just traumatized. You didn't like to be touched, would flinch the second a voice was raised, and preferred to be alone. Every family looking to adopt avoided you like the plague, and foster families gave up on you every time. You ended up with your mom, and she definitely had to work for your trust. Everyone in that house was adopted, except you four. Your mother decided that she would adopt you.

Connecting with your sisters wasn't hard, and you all grew close very quickly. You weren't too fond of boys, just the thought of them reminding you of your dad. One day however, your mom told your sister that her friend, who also adopted four kids from her foster care, was coming over. The only thing was, they were all boys. She told them to get me used to the idea, at least try to warm it up to me. She described them, saying that they were all four the same ages as us. She said the youngest boy was a lot like me and that we would most likely get along if i was open to talking to him.

Olivia was sitting in your room, pitching the idea to you while you doomscrolled on your phone. As she was talking about it, there was a knock on the door. Your mother answered, and let the five of them in. Evelyn was a nice yet stern woman, definitely older than your mother but not by much. Your mom went and introduced them to Sabrina and Billie first, a friendly 'hello' exchanged between everyone. She then cane to your room, introducing everyone to you and Liv. She introduced Evelyn and the four boys. Their names were Bobby, Jeremiah, Angel, and Jack. Their ages went in the same order, Jack being the youngest and Bobby the oldest.
