Love, Lies, & Loss [COMPLETED] (The Cricket Trilogy) Book 1

Uncle Phil-Fred

Alex's POV
"I already miss you Al...." Drake said as we  Skyped on my plane ride to New York. "I miss you too Drake." I said to him. He smiled his beautiful smile and I smiled back. "It's gonna be hard to live without you here with me." When he said that my heart sunk. "I-I know......but next week is spring break in New York so maybe you can come down." I suggested happily. "I dont know, I will ask my mum tonight. " I smiled at his comment.
Our conversation went on for the rest of the flight. "Please turn off all electronic devices, we are about to land." The lady over the intercom said. I frowned and looked at the screen. "Well I've got to go Drake. I'll text you when I get to my uncles." I said with a fake smile. His smile turned into a small frown. "Oh, well don't forget. " He said hopefully. "I never forget." And with that we lost connection. I shut the laptop and stuffed it in my carry on.

When the taxi I ordered screeched to a stop I looked out the window to see we were stopped infront of a gorgeous house. "Are you sure this is the right address?" I asked the driver. He gave me a look and I got out. I got my stuff out of the trunk and walked up to the front door.
Before I even got to knock the door opened and a old looking man was staring me in the face. "You must be Ms.Price." He said. I nodded and he let me in. I gaped at how marvelous the inside of the house was.
"Ms.Price, Master Vanhoo is away at the moment but said I should take you to your room. So if you'd follow me." The old man said. I nodded silently and followed him.
We came upon a white door with beautiful pink and blue decorations. The old man opened the door and we entered a outstanding room.

"Ms.Price, Master Vanhoo has returned. " The old man, I learned his name is Mr.Lerch, called for me from the downstairs livingroom. I got off of my new bed and walked my way down there. "Ahh, Alex. It's been a few years darling."
"Uncle Vernon!?" I asked shocked at his new appearance. "Oh no dear, ever since that dreadful Vernon from harry potter I go by Phil-Fred. " He said. I nodded in agreement at the dreadful name of Vernon. "Well dear, since you've had a long day how about we go to the bar room and have some dinner then hit the hay." He said. I nodded and followed him and Mr.Lerch.
"OH MY GOSH!!"
