Isabella's POV:

It's been two weeks since I "moved" to LA. And my god, it's been hard. Simon told me to tell the press I'm his niece who is staying with him for awhile, and all I have been doing is following him around! Going to studios, etc. I've even had to babysit his god damn kid! Speaking of which...

"Bella!" Eric pulled on the hem of my shirt and I looked down.

"Hi Eric. Mama will be home soon." I picked Eric up and walked to the front window and peered outside. I saw Lauren pull into the driveway and sighed.

"Mama!!" Eric screamed and I put him down as Lauren opened the door.

"Hi baby!" Lauren picked up Eric and swung him around. "Where's your uncle at?" Lauren looked at me and I scoffed.

"He's not my uncle." I can't believe he didn't tell her!

"What do you mean?" She asked looking confused. Of course she is, she has the right to be.

"It started when me, my sister and my little brother were placed in an adoption centre." And so I told her the whole story. I was in tears by the end and Lauren was rubbing my back.

"That son of a bitch, I can't believe he made you do that. I promise you Isabella, you do NOT have to follow him around. You can stay with me, we'll figure something out until you can go back home-"

"My parents are mad at me."

"Hun, they may seem mad but they are just upset. Their baby girl left home without warning, and you thought he would forget. Truth is, they are missing you terribly and only want you home with them. No matter the faults you've done, family never turns on family. Now why don't you go call them?" Lauren handed me her cellphone and I nodded, wiping the tears from my cheeks.

"T-thank you." I dialled the home phone number and pressed talk. It rang 4 times before the line connected.

"Hello?"

"D-daddy?"
