''What about my family?'' I spoke from behind Felix.

''Oh honey have they not told you? They aren't your real brothers.'' I stood frozen. They aren't my real brothers.

''What do you mean?'' I tried to move forward but Felix had his hand around my upper arm stopping me for going anywhere.

''Have you ever wondered why you look nothing like your brothers?'' I always did but I thought it was just because I was the only girl in the family.

''What are you talking about Jacob how'd you even know Nora?'' just someone saying my mother's name makes my heart drop.

''Maybe the big bad Jonah Harrington would like to have a say in this conversation. Mh?'' Jacob turned his head to the side where Jonah, Graham and Spencer were walking towards us.

''Leave Juliet out of it Jacob she doesn't need this.'' Jonah spoke calmly. Too calmly for someone who just said that they aren't my brothers.

''See Juliet, he didn't deny it.'' Jacob locked eyes with me before I turned my head to Jonah.

''What is he talking about Jonah.'' Felix spoke up for me.

Jonah looked at me before looking at Jacob.

''Boys get her to the car and lock the doors I'll be there shortly.'' None of us moved from our spot. I needed some water.

''Spencer.''

I saw Spencer move over to us. ''Come on Jules.'' I looked at Spencer before turning back to the situation in front of me.

''Nice talking to you Jules.'' A smirk grew on Jacob's face before he waved his hand at me.

I ignored Spencer and walked off; I brushed pass Graham. I saw Preston and Hugo run out of the shop.

''Juliet are you ok? did anyone hurt you?'' Preston ran over to me looking for any signs if I was hurt.

''Your scared I know but you ok.'' He stood up and wrapped his arms around me. they aren't your real brothers. I pushed Preston away from me and kept walking. I could hear Hugo yelling my name, I didn't know where I was going but I kept walking.

''Juliet, what's wrong? Talk to me.'' Hugo grabbed my forearm turning me around to face him.

''Did you know?'' a concerned look flashed over his face.

''Did I know what?'' I looked over his shoulder to see Elliot and Felix still standing where I left them, Spencer and Preston were standing next to them. Graham was standing off to the side and Jonah was talking to Jacob. As if they could feel me looking at them, they all turned to face me. I pulled out of Hugo's grip and ran.

I needed space. This was all too much for me to manage. I still had my phone on me so they could get a hold of me if they wanted. I heard Jonah yell at Hugo to let me be.

I didn't know where to go. I didn't have any friends because I was home schooled. I was barely allowed out of the house so I didn't know where I could go to relax. I kept walking, I had no destination, no safe place. I didn't know who to turn to. I didn't have anyone to talk to.

My phone was buzzing nonstop. While I was deleting my notifications, I ran into someone and dropped my phone on the floor.

''Oh my god, I'm so sorry.'' I bent down to grab my phone as he did and bumped our heads together.

''Oh shit, are you ok?'' I let out a small laugh, holding my hand to my head. this man had the nicest voice I have ever heard.

''Yeah I'm ok. Are you ok?'' he let out a deep chuckle that gave my stomach butterflies.

''I'm fine. Here's your phone, you've got a lot of messages and missed calls. I know it's not my place but is everything ok?'' I completely forgot about my phone.

''Fuck, yeah everything is ok just some family drama and my head is all over the place right now and I need an escape.'' He nodded his head, something flashed against his eyes. he knew where I was coming from.

''I know a place that's just down the road, it might help with the ''Escape.'' Was this man a complete stranger? Yes. did I care? No.

''Sure.'' A smile grew on his face as he stepped in toe with me. we didn't talk much but I wanted to get to know him.

''Do you live in Germany?'' I asked. I could hint another accent when he spoke.

''No, I'm here for a couple of days before I have to go to Italy and then back home. I'm from Poland actually.'' I nodded my head making eye contact with him. He was about 6'7, quite a strong frame, light brown hazel eyes with light brown curly hair.

''I'm Tobias by the way.'' he stopped in the middle of the pathway and held out his hand.

I grabbed it before speaking. ''Juliet'' he shot me a wholesome smile, teeth and his dimples showing.

''Like Romeo and Juliet?'' I shook my head.

''No Romeo just Juliet.'' He sent me another smile before looking up at the building behind me.

''An arcade, of course.'' I looked up at the building before looking at Tobias.

''Come on.'' He opened the door for me, following close behind. The building was full of games and there was a bowling alley too. My phone kept buzzing in my hand, I looked down to see Jonah was calling me. I turned off my phone and placed it in my back pocket. I turned to see Tobias looking at me.

''Ready for an escape of your lifetime?'' I nodded my head and giving him a smile which I received back.
