Arabella's POV

Shit, shit...
My body felt heavy, you'd think that the bath last night would work but no I just feel like shit. I looked at the clock before getting out of bed. I was early which gives me a chance to collect my thoughts about yesterday.

I went the bathroom to have a quick shower. When I was walking out the bathroom I bumped into Stacey, who looked like she was about to burst into tears when she looked at me.

"I'm sorry, Grace. If I-" she tried to say but I cut her off, because she had nothing to apologize for and if she continued talking she was honestly going to cry. Crying is the last thing I need right now. "Okay, Stace. Its okay just breath okay. I'm over it, its not that important." I said keeping my annoyance out of my voice.

Stacey looked at me and pulled me into a hug which caught me by surprise but I accepted it. "Are you good now?" I asked her with a soft chuckle after hearing her snuffles. "A little..." She pulled away from me. "Good because I don't think I have it in me to calm you and Liam down all in one day." I said jokingly.

"Ha, good luck with that one. He is whirlwind of emotions." She joked before continuing. "You'd think I'd be the one who is a mess." I laughed at that. Stacey let me go after telling me that everything will be okay as she headed to the bathroom.

I did my hygiene routine and changed into gray sweat pants with a black tank top, black vans. I braided my hair one fishtail, didn't put on any makeup and made my bed before heading downstairs to make breakfast.

I made pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon ,fruit salad and made herbal tea for Stacey. By the time they come downstairs I was placing the pancakes at the table. "What's all this for?" The first thing my brother said to me.

"I know that you both have questions, so I figured this would be the best way for us to discuss this." I said truthfully. It would be pointless to lie to Liam now, though I will omit a few things.

They sat down and made their plates while I poured Stacey her tea, Liam and I stuck to orange juice. I sat down and made my plate that was only the fruit salad. It was awkward as no one had said anything. Just when I thought that the purpose of this breakfast was futile Liam broke the ice.

"When did it happen?" His voice was icy. I put down my spoon, whipped my mouth clean and cleared my throat to speak. "A few years ago, please don't ask precisely when I simply wish not to relive the entire events of that day." His grip on his glass was so tight that it shattered it.

"Why? Why didn't you tell me,Grace? " his voice strained as he talked. I looked up to him to see that he was mad, disappointed and maybe a little hurt. Its funny how life can throw you into the burning flames and once you think you've finally managed to find peace it just brings you back to the flames.

"A lot of reasons, one of them being that telling you would change nothing and it seemed pointless anyways." I began, I really wish mom was here with me because she would know how to put my thoughts into words better. "What I'm trying to say is that I couldn't bring myself to adding to your misery with my burdens. You may not say  it but I know that being here brings you joy and the news would have just-" I was cut of by a knock at the door. I took a whiff of the air.

I thought that the devil only appeared when you think of him or talk of him. The Royal couple must have something pressing to talk about if they have come to grace us with their presence this early.  I thought sarcastically. Stacey got up to open the door while Liam and I remained in the kitchen.
