When we get to the house my mum and the sheriff are standing on the porch.

They instantly notice Nolan's car. Emma and Henry walk up to the house first.

"Well how dead do you think I am?" I ask Elijah.

"It was good knowing Arabella." Elijah says, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Hopefully she's so happy to see Henry that she forgets about me." I say.

"We can only hope." Elijah says.

"I'll see you at school later." I tell them.

I quickly look out the window to make sure no one at my house is looking and turn to Nolan quickly leaning in for a kiss.

"I hope your mom looks over here." Elijah says as I lean away from Nolan.

"Love you too, Eli." I say before getting out of the car.

When I walk up the path to my house my mom looks up from Henry.

"Arabella Mills," My mom says, her face changing from the relief of seeing Henry home safe to anger. "How could you be so Irresponsible."

"Henry wanted to meet his birth mother," I tell her. "He would have done it with or without me."

"You should have come straight to me." She yells.

"You weren't going to be able to stop him either," I say as I walk past her to the house door. "Just be glad that someone was there to make sure he was okay."

She tries to shout at me to come back but I ignore it and head to my room instead.

Once I get to my room I fall into my bed, if I'm this tired I feel awful for Nolan.

I'm about to go to sleep when I hear a knock on my room door.

"I'm not talking to you mom." I say.

"It's Graham," He says. "Can I come In."

"Yeah," I say as I sit up on my bed.

"Your mom was just scared." He says as he stands at the door.

"For Henry." I say, taking one of my pillows and hugging it.

"For the both of you," He tells me. "She's your mother and she loves you both equally."

"Doesn't seem like it." I tell him.

"Regina is a closed off person," The sheriff says. "Just because she doesn't show it doesn't mean she doesn't."

"Kinda hard to believe something if you can't see it." I tell him.

"I think you need to have a talk with her, Bella." The sheriff says. "I need to go to talk to Henry but promise me you won't be running off like that again, you scared me."

"I promise." I tell him.

At that he gets up and leaves the room.
