You're Family Now

Part 25

Gems pov-

After explaining everything to the guys I let as few tears fall as possible.
I left out the part of me running away, I told them that I was going to an event to get my head straight and figure out how to solve our problems in the Tc/Pack house.

"Wow, that's um... thats tough." Connor states.

"Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that." Troye adds.

I smile to them. "It's okay really, I just have to figure things out, and I have all I need to do it."

"Well how about a film?" Phil questions and Tyler cheers.

"You guys go ahead, I'm gonna go upload a couple of things so my subscribers don't know I'm gone." I decline and stalk over to the office.

Taking out my lap top I scroll through my saved files of solo content so people don't know when it was filmed. I do that for two more videos and set them to upload at two hour intervals. I sigh and move my laptop over to an open spot on the coffee table and lie down on the floor.

I close my eyes and place my hands above my head grabbing onto the bar of the futon. I then begin doing leg lifts because that's what a sensible person does when they are frustrated... right?

I count to ninety-three when there is a knock on the door frame and I sit up. There in the door way stands Dan.

"Why the bloody hell are you exercising!" He questions with a confused look on his face. "Exercise literally kills you."

I smirk. "Umm, Dan, I think you have that backwards... Not exercising can kill you, exercise can make you feel better."

"Pfft, no! You are wronnnnng." He objects making me smile. Dan offers his hand and helps me stand up. We sit on the futon and he speaks first. "So what aren't you saying?"

"Hm?"

"What aren't you telling me and the rest of us?" He questions again.

"I- Nothing, I told you all everything." I stutter. Damnit, why do I stutter? The fuck is that shit?

"You're lying. I know you're lying and you're not leaving until you say what you're not telling us, what you're not telling me." Dan objects once more. I shake my head an go to stand but get pulled back down to my seat. "Like I said, you're not going until you say."

I sigh. "Daniel... I-"

"The truth." He pushes.

"I'm leaving. For good. I'm solving the problem at home- at the house" I correct myself. "By walking away. I'm flying to New York and maby even around the world. I could do a world tour vlog type of thing? I just have to go, like I told everyone else, I'm bad luck."

He sighs. "You're not going to New York Gemma, I'm not letting you, and the others won't let you either."

I begin to choke on my tears. "No. No! I'm leaving!"

"No you aren't!" He shouts at an equally loud volume.

Everyone comes running into the room and stares.

"What the fuck is going on!?" Tyler shouts, quieting Dan and I.

I snatch my bags up from leaning on the wall and close my laptop sticking into my baggage. "Thank you Tyler, but I have just gotten word that my flight has been altered and is taking off in two hours, so I gotta run. I'll text you all when I land."

I squeeze out of the room and slip on my converse rushing over to the from door. I whip out my phone and alert an uber to come pick me up,
Good, they'll be here in ten minutes.

I pull open the door and am met with Adam, Preston and Lachlan.

"Gem!" Preston shouts along with Adam and they tackle me. I squirm out of their grip.

"Get off, get. OFF!" I squeeze out if their grip. "Why are you here?"

"We were looking for you." Lachlan snaps. "What the hell were you thinking? Running off like that?"

"There could have been a repeat of what happened when you ran off from Lachlan and Simon had to save you!" Preston buts in.

"Now come on, we're going home, Mitch is on his way back with Jerome." Adam states. They all seem mad.

"Oh, hi!" Tyler inputs shocked. Behind him are the other guys.

"Well this is a party isn't it?" I retort sarcastically.

"Enough out of you." Lachlan pushes.

"And who are you to tell me that!? Who are you to act like you control me!? Part of all of this is your fault! Part of this is both of the Tylers and Quentins! Part of this is Jasons fault! But almost all of it is mine! I'm destroying everyone's fucking family because I am just a good luck charm to destruction!" I shout, tears rolling down my face. " I am leaving to keep you all from splitting up like you have since I got here!"

There faces were all awestruck. Not one word uttered from any of them.

"Please. Just let me leave." I plead. I grab up my bags once more and push through the group of three in the door way and out to my uber.

My hand hits the handle of the car door and Adam starts shouting.

"The fall out wasn't- ISN'T your fault!" I stop and turn to face them, confusion written all over my face.

Preston sighs. "Team crafted was falling apart before Mitch got guardianship over you. The lease for the house is even almost up. Every issue has been solved, even the one from this morning."

"We're all going out on good terms. The Tylers moving out were agreed by everyone, even them. Ashley left for family reasons, and so have Quentin and Ian. The other problems were just people being asses." Adam states ,smacking Lachlan lightly on the back of the head earning a shouting 'Hey!!!' from him.

" So-" I start but Preston cuts me off.

"So, everyone is leaving. Some earlier than others. You aren't the problem Gem, you actually got people to stay longer than they were going to. You aren't a bad luck charm Gem."

By now he's right infront of me, the rain starting to sprinkle again.

"I didn't mess things up? I didn't tear everyone apart?" I question sniffling.
God I feel like a goddamn child. Maby I'm not as tall as I thought, cause... Preston is even a few inches taller than me.

"No. No you didn't." He whispers.

I smile up at him and he grins at me then we hear a subtle cough that draws our attention to the rest of the guys. I blush and run to Lachlan hugging him then jump on to Adam.

We let go then I freeze.

"What- what do I do now? Do I just go home? I already paid for my flight." I ask.

Silence.

"Well you could spend the night here? Things are probably going to be... tense back at the house." Tyler steps in, staring at the three hopefully. They exchange looks before giving in.

"YES!" I cheer and hug Adam since it was ultimately his decision since he was the oldest. Before any more words can be said, Connor has run up with Troye, snatched my bags from me and ran inside. They dropped them and ran back out to the rest of us, acting like they did nothing. We all laugh and I turn to the guys before they head to Adams car.

"Text us tomorrow when you want someone to pick you up, or someone can drive you home." Adam states then gives a quick side hug before getting into the drivers seat of the car. I receive a hug and kiss on the top of my head from Lachlan and he heads off.

Preston hugs me and leans down to my ear. "Don't do this again please? I- We were all scared you left us. Don't leave m- Us."

He then kisses the top of my head and ducks inside the car. I turn to face Phil, Tyler, Troye, Connor and Dan with a smile on my face.

"Now that drama has passed, time for some fun!" Tyler exclaims taking my arm and literally dragging me into the house.
