Guilt, Regret, and Trust

Chapter 3

Bailey's POV

Everyone around me had their mouths open in shock.

I forgot to mention, not really, the part were we share a five story house with some entertainment. The structure in front of us was pure white with windows. I guess being on the run has its perks. I've been saving for something big, but I've never imagined I would spend my money on a house for all 38 of us.

I swear we stood there for about five minutes, all of them staring up at the house. All the while I had a huge smirk wiped across me face. Next to the house was a garage about half the size of the house. Before we came here I contacted a
friend that used to help us out a while ago. He talked to the guy that owned the house and we ended up buying it. I told him I will pay him back as soon as I see him again which won't be long.

Andrew's POV

My head rolls forward as we come to a stop, jurking me awake. I have a huge headache, probably dehydration. I look down and see a sleeping Bailey in my lap. I don't know why but I smile. She looks so peaceful and happy. It's been awhile since I seen her like this. Ever since she took on the leadership role she's been acting strangely and hasn't smiled enough. I wish I could stay in this moment forever, I miss the old Bailey.

I hear multiple gasps coming from outside. I grudgingly nudge Bailey awake. I see her gray-blue eyes flutter open and close. I feel guilty for waking her up. She hasn't been sleeping property, or probably not at all.

I decided to have some fun and started to tickle her. She immediately starts moving around, a ghost of a smile on her lips. I laugh quietly to myself. And started to pull her out of the car by her hands. My feet touch the ground, all the while oblivious to my surroundings. I pull her out of the SUV until her butt hits the ground.

She jumps up, and gives me the biggest death stare only she could manage. I think to myself, if only looks can kill.

"I'm going to kick your a**." She mutters.

If I didn't know Bailey I would be running towards the woods, not daring to look back.

She looks so damn intimidating.
I smirk in return and say

"Watch that little mouth of yours, sleeping beauty. You never know who will be listening, don't make threats you can keep." I wink at her and walk off. I hear her mumble something and walk after me. As soon as I saw it I stopped dead in my tracks.

The sight before me was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. There was a huge house which what looked like it had five stories. There was a garden beside the house, by the garden was a clear blue lake. I've never seen anything so clear, it was as if this all was a fairytale. This place had land. Lots of land. I look behind me and see a long drive way, the drive way was cement. To the right of a house was a U-turn that looped behind the house, and connected to the long drive way behind me and from here it looks like there is a workshop just behind the house. The smell was absolutely amazing and the forest surrounded the house. Then there was the garage, at least half the size as the house. There were gates all around the tree line, they are pitch black. I can't believe someone could afford all this. This all seems so unreal.

Bailey's POV

I glance at Andrew beside me, turning around to look behind him. I guess he's amazed also. I roll my eyes and walk into the house. They probably won't notice me leaving. Heck, they probably won't notice a herd of cows run a few inches by their feet.

I laugh to myself as I imagine Mia's expression if she did notice. That girl needs to chill. But then again, I need to chill also.

As I open the door it was my turn to gasp. The whole place was furnished. The first thought that came to my mind was...
