A half and hour later Brayden arrived at the apartment to pick me up. I was excited to finally get away from this place. I got in Brayden's car after putting my suitcase in the back. Ryan came around to talk to Brayden.

"Make sure you take care of her Brayden and I hope you feel better soon Bella! Bye!" Brayden backed out of the parking lot after we said goodbye to Ryan.

"What happened? If you don't mind me asking." Brayden said.

"Jordan freaked out on me saying things he probably didn't mean. I didn't know what to do and Ryan helped me out." I tried not to explain to much. "Thanks for coming out to give me a place to stay." I thanked him.

"No problem. My family is willing to accept anybody who needs a home to stay in." Brayden replied.

"It's just I don't have enough money to go back to England and I didn't want to stay under the roof that Jordan was staying in. I also didn't want to ask you and the cube guys for more money. You guys already gave me enough."

"I don't care Bella. I'm here if you ever need help or support."

"Thanks Brayden. That means a lot." It got quiet so I decided to change the subject. "Did you know Will and I are cousins?"

"Wait, what?" Brayden asked confused.

"Will and I are cousins."

"What the heck? That's mind blowing. You guys are like long lost cousins who know each other for a long time before you guys knew you were even cousins." Brayden giggled. He knows how to make every situation better.

We finally got to Brayden's house and I already had my suitcase inside.

"It's so nice to see you! You are welcome to stay here as long as you want!" Brayden's step-mom said.

"As long as your here you're always going to be a family member in our eyes." Brayden's dad said. I've only been here a few minutes and I feel like I've been here for a long time. They make me feel so welcomed.

"Thank you so much! You guys are amazing!" I cheered.

Brayden led me up to the guest room and told me it's my room from now on. I can decorate it however I want. I left my suitcase in there and went to go meet the rest of the family members. We went to Rylan's room first. Brayden knocked on Rylan's door and we heard footsteps from inside the room.

"What?" Rylan said to Brayden not noticing me.

"Have some respect Rylan. Bella is here." Brayden said sarcastically. Rylan finally noticed me and a smile spread across his face. "He's always had a crush on you." Brayden said trying to embarrass Rylan. Rylan's cheeks flushed red.

"I've never had a crush on her Brayden! Stop lying."

"Yes you did! You talk about her all the time." Brayden said laughing.

"You look like you need a hug." I said to Rylan as I have him a hug.

"Look his dream came true!!" Brayden laughed even more.

"Stop embarrassing him Brayden." I giggled. We went to visit the next person which was Keaton. We knocked on his door an he answered.

"Hey Brayden and since when did you get hot girls to hang out with you?" He joked. I started laughing and Brayden looked embarrassed. "I'm just kidding. I'm Keaton." He shook my hand.

"Don't get too ahead of yourself there bud." Brayden laughed.

"Don't worry, I will."

"She's going to be staying here so I'm warning you she's crazy." Brayden winked at me.

"Hey, I am not crazy!" I playfully hit him.

Brayden's sisters were not home yet so I would meet them later. I'm so excited to see them especially Brooke! She's such a nice person! The rest of the night Brayden let me use his gaming laptop that Ryan would use when he came over. I was in my room listening to "Something's Gotta Give" by All Time Low.

Since I've been here I've only gotten two texts from Jordan. I didn't want to answer any of them nor did I even see what he texted me. I was just angry, frustrated, sad, disappointed and so many more words. I will admit that yes, I still do love him it's just how am I suppose to forgive him? He hurt me. I rolled up my sleeve on my left arm and rubbed my thumb against my barely visible, faded scars. I promised myself, Jordan and Seth I wouldn't do this anymore. I tried my hardest and I succeeded but now I feel like I wasted my time making that promise. The good thing is that I don't have any blades I can use just in case I lose self-control.

I get ready for bed and try to make myself fall asleep before I go into my deep thinking mood and cry myself to sleep.

It's been a long day.

A/N: Shitty chapter but whatever. This is unedited so sorry if there is any mistakes or things that don't make sense.

YOU CAN STILL ASK QUESTIONS FOR ME, BELLA OR JORDAN!

So far I only have two questions for Jordan so you can ask more than one question for any of them

See ya in the next chapter!
