Chapter 10

Hey guys, I'm soooo sorry that I haven't written any new chapters. I've just gotten a little too lazy now that summer is coming. Finally!!!! Here's my next chapter, I hope you enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jake's POV

It's been over 2 months since we last saw Arabella and it has been the like hell. Every time I think about her, I thnk about how she smiles when we eat her food, and how she laughs at Chris's stupid jokes. Richard has been very depressed lately too and Mom seems like the only thing that lifts up his spirits.

"Honey, why don't we all go visit Arabella? I mean, surely she misses you alot and it would seem like a great-" my mom gets cut off by Richard.

"No, we can't. She isn't allowed to have any visitors where she is." Richard looks down at the ground and goes back to his depressive state.

Stupid Richard! It's your damn fault that Arabella's gone!? Why the hell did you have to send her away?

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, and someone suddeny grabs my arm. I turn around to find Seth standing there, glaring at Richard. He pulls on my hand and takes me towards Arabella's old room.

I was about to complain about being dragged back in the room that carried so many memories of her, but then I see all of my brothers enter the room.

They close the door behind them and sit on the ground with their backs to the wall. I sigh. It really hasn't been the same without her. We all sit their quietly, waiting for someone to speak.

Chris gets up and takes a deep breath. "Look, we all know that this family hasn't been the same since Arabella left, but we need to be patient and wait for her to come back."

I stare at Chris in complete shock. He really has matured alot. It was true, he really changed for the better when Arabella left. I chuckled, thinking about how much she changed us all.

"But what if she never comes back," Nick whispers. We all stay silent, thinking about his question. 

What if she never comes back? Could I live without her? Can we all move on? All these questions running in my head, and soon Seth squeezes my shoulder.

"She will," Seth say in a reassuring voice. He was always the one you could count on to make you feel better.

I smile at my younger brother, and before I could say anything else, my mom calls us.

"Guys, there is a boy here who says he knows you all. His name is Dani." We all give confused looks, wondering as to why he's back. We all get up and head downstairs towards the living room. We enter the living room and are shocked to see what was happening.

Nick's POV

We all enter the living room and our jaws instanty drop. Dani and Richard were hugging and Richard's smile was immedietly back on his face. Why the hell is he so happy-go-lucky towards Dani and not to us!? I felt a spark of anger run through my head, but decide to forget about it.

Richard notices us staring and soon lets go of Dani. Dani turns toward us and we frown. Yep, it's him. The same old tall wierd kid with a tattoo. I'm still shocked about the fact that a kid his age has a tattoo. I mean, yeah I'm not that much older, but it would make better sense if I had it.

Dani walks towards us and grins."Hey guys, long time no see. Where's Arabella?"

All of our eyes soon drop to the ground, and Richard's smile fades away.

"She decided to go to a dance academy far away. We are not allowed to visit." My anger instantly returns upon hearing this, and I had the sudden urge to punch him right in the jaw. Well it wouldn't be that bad, he did it to me before. 

Dani loses his annoying grin."Oh, well do you know by any chance when she'll be coming back?"

Richard shakes his head."Probably in a few years." We all stare in shock and I feel a huge lump form in my throat. A few years?

It stays quiet for a few minutes, an awkward atmosphere forming. Dani decides to break the atmosphere. "Well, that's good then. If she's doing what she wants to." 

Richard gives him a small smile and then gets up."Well, if you won't mind, Melissa and I have to take a quick trip to the store. We are leaving the house in your care." We all give either a quiet "Ya", or "Whatever".

as we hear the car drive away, Dani turns towards us. He shoots out a cold stare towards all of us, mainly Seth. 

"Why the hell did she leave? I mean surely she wouldn't want to leave her dad. You guys must have done something, didn't you? If you did anything to hurt Ara, God help me I swear-" Seth cuts him off.

"We didn't do anything you Idiot! Don't go blaming us for something we didn't do!" Seth spat out. We all stare in shock as the Calm and collected Seth just broke out towards Dani. He looked a little shocked himself.

Dani recollects himself from the shock and says,"Okay, I'm sorry. I had no right to accuse you guys of doing something. Can you tell me why she left?" 

We all glance around, trying to see who was brave enough to tell the story. I sigh and walk towards Dani."Richard found out about our feelings towards Arabella and he decided to send her away. What else could have happened?"

Dani shows a blank expression, but soon covers it with anger. "How the hell could he send his own daughter away!" After saying that, we heard the car pulling up and in the blink of an eye, Dani was gone.

Dani's POV

I hear Richard's car pulling up and without thinking, I run towards the car. So much anger running through me that all of my thoughts were jumbled together. 

Richard turns towards me and gives me a smile. I clench my fists and hit him as hard as I can. He falls to the ground, gripping his bloody jaw. Melissa screams and soon the boys are holding me back.

"How the hell could you send away your only daughter! Do you have any feelings at all?!" I spat at the ground where he was sitting and give him a deathly glare.

He stands up, and wipes the blood on his shirt. "I did what I thought was good for her, you have no right to judge me!" 

I feel my adrenaline pump up and I feel the sudden urge to hit him again, but I am held back by all of the brothers. "Why the hell is sending her away the best decision? Just because the guys fell in love for her? You can't really blam them for falling for her, I mean I did!" I immedietly shut my mouth, shocked at what I said.

Richard stares at me, confused as to what I said."Y-you love Arabella?" I feel a little nervous as to what his reaction might be. I give him a small nod. He looks to the ground and stays quiet for a long time.

"Leave now. Don't ever come back here and don't ever see Arabella again." With that, he soon picked up the bags from his trunk and headed inside the house. Melissa, confused at everything that was going on, follows him up the steps.

The brothers all stare at me and we all stay quiet. I let out a deep sigh and look at them all. "I'll be fine, you guys just make sure you wait for Arabella to return."

They all give me confused looks and I smile."It's alright, as long as I know that Arabella is safe, I'm happy."

"But you won't be able to see her again." Dylan says. 

I sigh, thinking of not being able to see her. I felt my heart drop at the idea of losing her.

I give them all reassuring looks."Don't worry, I'll be fine." I head towards my car and point my back towards the guys so they couldn't see my face.

If I look as badly as I feel, I might as well get a bag and put it over my head. I rethink of all the times I spent with Arabella and a small smile creeps into my face. I don't care what you're dad says Ara, I will see you. Just wait for me.
