Hope

Chapter 11

"Your toothbrush and all the other stuff you'll need is on the right side of your bag" Surgio explained for the fifth time to Sarah. From the corner of her eye, she saw Xander roll his eyes. 

"If you need anything just ask Leo or Aless they'll tend to it. If you're uncomfortable on the plane ride just inform them. Don't roam outside the hotel premises just-

"Ask one of them to take me, if I have to go somewhere or meet any of my friends" She finished for him giving him an amused smile. He gave her a nervous laugh scratching the back of his neck.

Surgio has been very worried since the news was broken down that Sarah was going back to Norway. Personally, she felt the same way and if it were up to her, she would have made an excuse for not going but she needed answers and needed them quick. Several thoughts invaded her mind about the situation The only motives she had were finding out more about her mother and why did her brothers weren't informed that she was dead a long time ago.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Leo and Aless coming down the stairs. Leo had insisted to join them and as much as Aless was against it since there was no one here to handle the business he allowed him to come. 

'You can support her emotionally' he had quoted awkwardly, Since he was not very good at it, he corrected again. Leo gave her a pleasant smile, ruffling her hair a little. The smile definitely helped with her nerves a bit. 

"Did you get everything you need?" he asked while Aless excused himself to take a phone call.

"Yes, I didn't pack a lot though" She sheepishly admitted. Since she didn't have a lot to pack.

Leo dismissed the sentence waving his hand. "It's fine, if you need anything just tell us we'll get it for you"

As much as she was not okay with the idea she nodded, mentally check listing all the things in her mind as they made their way to the door, with the small suitcase that Surgio had packed for her. Thank the heavens her ankle had healed enough for her to walk without limping. It would have been a major problem, not only during the journey but also because she was supposed to start her school within a day or two after her return from Norway.

That topic in specific took days to decide. 

Apparently, they weren't living in San Fransico for a long time. It was just a temporary arrangement. 

Living in a mansion was a temporary arrangement. 

Hence nobody cared to give her a tour. That just proved how rich her brothers were. This was just a house they had built, to visit during vacations, and when Aless had gotten the news about her, they were vacating here in San Fransico, so it just seemed reasonable at the time for him to directly bring her here rather than going back home then calling all of the others telling them to come at their actual home too. That would have just caused a lot of confusion. Xander also said something about not being surprised since they had a number of homes in different states. She didn't even care to ask in how many states. 

She would be sad though, it was a quite beautiful atmosphere, feeling the summer breeze and the sun against your skin was quite good. It also gave her skin a pleasant tan. It wasn't, in particular, an actual tan but her skin didn't seem as pale as ghost anymore. At least that's what Dexter had said. 

Snapping out of her thoughts when she felt a tug at her hair, she looked at Xander who gestured her to follow them out. 

He put a hand on her shoulder. She turned back to look at him, curious as to what he wanted. Xander cleared his throat, hoping he doesn't make a fool out of him, and upset her, both.
