Right, the talk..

Shoot!..I forgot about it..

Nah, not literally, I am seriously having a heart attack here thinking about it.

What would they want to talk about?

Do they know what happened because of me?

Will they leave me like they all did?

My past..it should be hidden at all cost!

They should not find out!

It would kill me to see someone being hurt because of me and the baggage I carry.

I would die, rather than unleashing my demons upon them.

I hope they know nothing about any of this.

I broke out of my toxicity, when I heard the unmistakable sound of someone calling me.

"Arabella!" Liam called with corcern shining in his usually blank eyes.

"Ya..umm..wha-tt, sor-ry ju-ust spaced o-ut" I stuttered caught off guard.

"Oh..?" It came out more like a question than a statement.

I cleared my throat looking around for something to change the topic.

"Wait..where is everyone?" I asked dumbfounded.

Weren't they all sitting here- like right now?

He shook his head at my ignorance, the corner of his lips twitching upwards.

"They're in the living room, waiting for you, bella"

"Bella?" Already on the nickname basis?

"Yea..I can call you that, right?" He asked awkwardly.

"Of course, silly" I said smiling cheekily.

"Follow me, bambina" I smiled broadly.

"O-k" The nerves are back, at least I was able to block it out for a few seconds.

Walking behind liam, I looked around taking in the beauty of the house.

The living room was safe to say HUGE!

With an L shaped couch and a big flat screen tv and these big chandeliers hanging, It was beautiful.

I looked at my eldest brother before taking a seat next to liam.

"Tell me how she is our sister-" Lorenzo grunted but stopped when he received a look from Calvin.

Woah! Impatient much?

"Mariella was pregnant with Arabella when she left" He shared a look with all of them and I could see realisation sink in their eyes.

Wait a second! What was that about??

Mariella?- as in mom?

Why aren't they calling her mom?

Something fishy.

Nobody questioned him...even Lorenzo was quite.

That's all, huh?

Not confusing at all.

There's something their hiding.

Oh my god! I'm getting a headache with all the questions circling in my head.
