"Wait what?!" I gasped.

"Bella is Vic and Mikes step sister." Mia sighed, everyone from the two bands crowding around.

Bella was still asleep luckily.

"How are we gonna tell her?" Gabe whispered.

"I don't know. I don't wanna add to her stress right now." Mia replied "and she hates her mum anyway."

Vic looked down "I just can't believe when she left us for nine years it was to fuck up Bella's life then come back and act as if nothing had happened."

Mia rubbed his back softly as he went back into his own thoughts "I don't even know if I can bare to visit her knowing that she's done all of that."

Everyone sighed then heard a yawn as Bella came trundling over.

"I have to try and make up with Oli today." She yawned and laughed slightly "I'll just beat him up."

I smiled and wrapped my arm around her then pecked her cheek and whispered "good morning princess."

She smiled and leant into me as I stared down at her in awe. Her makeup was slightly smudged around her face and it was evident that she was crying a lot last night but she still looked beautiful.

"Why are you all here anyway?" She asked "it's like eleven in the morning."

We smiled then frowned when we realised that we'd have to tell her.

"This isn't easy to say but I'm your step brother basically." Mike blurted out "so is Vic."

Bella pulled a confused face then muttered "how exactly?"

Vic sighed "my.. Our mum left Mike and I for nine years because she cheated on our dad with yours and had you. Then my dad sent her to rehab and she came back, brand new, while you were with your aunt."

"Wait... you're my... fucking... that little bitch. She fucked up my life and raised you normally?"

Mike nodded guiltily "yeah basically."

Seeing that she was shaking, I held her tightly but she moved away from me and grabbed a can out of the fridge.

"Bella please." I whimpered, not wanting her to get addicted again but she brushed me off and downed the can then smiled "I'm gonna go have a shower now."

We all sighed as she made her way into the bathroom and turned on the water, trying to drown out her sobs.

"I'm gonna go make sure she isn't doing anything to herself, you should all probably take a break and go out somewhere, try to find a spa or something." I forced a smile as they stared sympathetically.

I ran my fingers through my hair and opened the bathroom door. I could see her pills on the side and that her phone was on the floor with its phone case off. shit.

Not caring that she was naked, I sat down on the toilet seat and sighed "Bella?"

"Yeah." She sniffed from behind the curtains.

"Please stop."

She went silent and we both sat still for a few seconds then her arm reached out of the curtains, her blade in the palm of her hands. There were a few new cuts on her arm as I stared at it then took the blade out of her hand.

"Thank you."

"It's okay princess, we're going to make you better."

I glared at the silver object in my hand and chucked it down the toilet, hearing her sigh from the shower.

After a few minutes of silence I heard her laugh "when was the last time we had sex?"

"I don't know like a month ago." I smiled.

"We should have sex now."

I laughed "really?"

She poked her head out of the shower curtain "duh I'm horny."
