3RD P.O.V.

"Jo, go call your siblings here, we need to talk." Lexi said as she sat down on one of sofas.

"That sounds scary." Josie narrowed her eyebrows as she got up.

"Yo, momma and dad are calling us to have a talk."
"The fuck did you do Michael?" Mason glared at Michael, making him roll his eyes.

"Why does it have to be me? What did you do?"
"Maybe it's Josie." Mason said, both of them looking at Josie.

"Or maybe it's three of us. Shut up and come."

They made their way to the living room where Jaden and Lexi are waiting for them.

"Hi parents."
"Hi guys. Come, sit."

Three of them sat next to each other on the couch, their backs straight as they thought they're gonna get yelled at.

"Before you start yelling, can you just give us a hint what did we do?" Mason tried asking, making Lexi and Jaden laugh.

"You aren't getting yelled at. But it is something serious though."
"Oh thank God." Three of them finally sat comfortably on the couch.

Lexi and Jaden both were scared to talk to kids, knowing all of them will get mad, Michael probably the most.

"Okay, so, dad and I talked for quite a while,"
"And we came to conclusion that we need to move away." Jaden dropped, making Michael's head go in front as Josie's and Mason's eyes widened.

"What?"
"We are moving away." Lexi confirmed as she was just waiting to see which one of three kids will be the first one to leave the room.

"Where?" Josie asked, her hand grabbing Michael's to stop him from getting up.

"Madrid."
"Madrid?!" Michael finally spoke up, raising his voice.
"Yes."
"Madrid like Madrid capital of Spain?" Mason tried confirming, making Jaden and Lexi nod their heads.

"No." Michael stated as he tried getting up, pushing Josie's hand off of him and leaving the room.

"Why Madrid?"
"Because, first of all, five of us knowing Spanish the best out of languages that are not English. Second of all, has best offers for our company too, so that means your dad could go back to work."

They sat in silence as Jaden tried to calm himself down. He was hating the fact that he is the only reason that they need to move away. If it wasn't for him, none of this would happen.

"When?"
"Soon. Few weeks, maybe a month."

Both Josie's and Mason's eyes glistened as tears started forming.

But they understood why this is happening and they knew that there is no way of changing their parents decision.

"I'm going upstairs." Lexi said as she got up, making her way to Michael's room.

"Don't come in." Michael stated from inside of the room when Lexi knocked on the doors.

"Mikey, we need to talk. It's just me."
"No, I don't want to talk."

Lexi sighed, deciding to walk away and give him a little time, but then in the moment just snapping back towards his room and walking in without knocking.

Michael had his earphones in as he listened to music while sitting on his window.

"Michael."

He looked at her, before looking away again while rolling his eyes.

"Take your headphones out."
"I said that I don't want to talk to you."
"Yeah, you don't want to talk to me, but you're going to listen to what I have to say."

Michael groaned as he took the earphones out and looked at his mom.

"Happy?"
"No. I'm not fucking happy. Michael, none of us want to move away. This is our home and the place where our family grew and we have so many good and bad memories here, but it's just time to move on. For this country, your dad is dead. That means that he can't use his name anymore. He can't walk on the street. He can't do anything. And so to be able to live a life we had five years ago, we need to move away. We need a new start. And I know it's hard, it is for me too. It's not just you that is leaving his girlfriend and friends here. All of us are leaving them. I'm not leaving only my friends, but my mom and siblings too. Just like your dad is. Just like your siblings are leaving their friends. It's hard for all of us, but it's for the best."
"Mom, I cannot leave Celia here. I just cannot bring myself to do it, okay? Yes, we have another month, but what then? I cannot just go on and live a normal life in Spain without her okay?" Michael said in angry tone, but the pain in it was too obvious. Tears streamed down his face, as Lexi sighed.

"You are deep in love, aren't you?"
"Yes I fucking am and I'm too fucking scared."

Lexi approached him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, her hand on the side of his head as he rested in on her chest.

"It's okay baby. I know you are scared of everything right now, but we can get through it."
"No mom, I don't want to leave her. Especially not with Josh."
"What do you mean?"
"You're the one that knows everything he has done to them. She opened up to me about it. I can't just leave her. And I don't want to leave her, because I do love her. A lot."

Lexi sighed as she ran her hands up and down Michael's back.

"I know. But what can we do when Nessa doesn't want to leave him?"
"No mom, she's just too manipulated by him."
"I know that Michael. I talked to her so many times, but there's nothing else I could do. There's nothing else we could do."

"Michael!" Familiar vocie yelled, before bursting through the doors, making both Lexi and Michael pull away as they got caught off guard.

"What's wrong baby? Are you okay?"
"N-no. You gotta run away!"
"Calm down C. Come sit, and tell me what happened."
"I don't have time to fucking sit!"
