Finding Love (Bastard Princess)

"The truth"

Chapter 16

All eyes on me. all guys are sitting on each slouch bag. Brian was sitting on the blue one, he patted the space beside him for me to sat there. I walked towards him and sat beside him on his slouch bag. Dave turned off the TV. and I can't take it anymore!

"Guys, you can breath.." chuckles covered the room. "I'll make this short. um, first, I'm sorry Brian I lied." I shifted my eyes to Brian beside me, and he just held my palm on his.

"it's okay.. go on." he smiled at me.

"I'm not here for a vacation. I came here with purpose.. to find my biological father." everybody stayed silent. Brian clutched his fingers with mine and whispered 'go on' to my ear. I was distracted by his fingers on mine, it brings some small tickles on my stomach. he grasped them tightly telling me to go on.

"I run away from home almost a year ago after my eighteenth birthday.. I have two siblings, they surprised me with a big party on that special day. unfortunately a girl ruined it by telling me that I was a bastard princess, that girl was suppose to be our step sister. my siblings father was engaged to the mother of that girl.." I paused for a bit.

"Zia.. it's okay, you can stop if you want." Lance said.

"no Lance, I have to tell you this guys. so that you have an idea why I always do the crying." chuckles again.. "I left home, my siblings and our grandfather. after 6 months I give my address to our grandfather and he came to see me, he handed me our mom's diary including some pics of my real father." I breathed for a moment. "yesterday, I saw him.. together with his wife and daughter. he looks so happy and content to his life. jealous rushed through my veins, and-" my voice cracked down. I held my tears up, I need to do this, I need to be strong..

"hey.. come here.." Brian wrapped his arms around me. "it's okay babe.. you can stop now.. we understand." Brian whispered.

"hey! that's unfair.. we want to hug her too..." Kevin stated.

"why don't we give her a group hug?!" I heard Dave sang.

"yay! bear hug everybody!" Jude shoved himself towards us, and the rest followed. all guys around me. it feels warm, and nice to have them..

"thank you guys... I'm happy I've met you all.." all guys rumbled my hair except Brian, his arms was still around me. I tapped his back using my fist. "hey! I'm hungry..." I whispered, but I guess all of them heard it. they all laughed and unbuckled their arms from the group hug that they formed.

after eating, we sat back to the living room. again, Brian and I shared the blue slouch bag.

"Lance.. why you always watch celebrity news?" I asked amused.

"he wants to know when his big celebrity crush coming." Jude answered. Lance nodded nonchalantly. while we were eating awhile back, I found out that all of them are product of fame, and all of them are living on a limelights.

"hey! give me that!" Brian took my orange fruit from my hand and shoved them all to his mouth. "you're such...!"

"a darling.. yes. I am" he sang. I ignored his charm and took another one on the plate in front of us before I turned again at Lance.

"and who is your big crush?!" Lance glance at me.

"Samantha Smith." he said nonchalantly again. and I chocked when the orange landed on my throat. "you okay Zia?" Lance stared at me. "sometimes you look like her.. or I just like her that much that I saw her on you." I choked again.

"stop eating!. here.." Brian handed me a glass of water before he cast a glare on Lance side. "don't compare her!" Brian said. I laughed. its okay for me to be compared with my sister. but not with his ex.
