Isabella pov

"Danielle called and want us to come back," Daniel says as we are eating breakfast, I haven't really touched my food since I am not really hungry I am just drinking my tea. "Did she say when?" Aubrey asks and Daniel nods "she wants us back within two or three days" he says and I sight "I am staying here" I say and all of the head snaps to me and everyone starts with their no's "I just found my parents and I am not leaving Nicole alone here while her father is gonna start world war three" I say and everyone goes quiet "she can join us" Daniel says and I look at Nicole who's staring at her food "no she is already in enough danger" I say shaking my head "I think it will be better for me" she says and I frown and turn to her "I can help take down my dad" she says and the kitchen goes quiet again "you want to take down your dead?" Aubrey asks and Nicole nods "he isn't a good person he needs to be taken down," she says and everyone nods "great then we have a deal," Daniel says.

I get from the table and Adam's eyes snap to me "babe you didn't eat" he says and I shake my head " I am really not hungry" I say and walk back to the room, I lay down and my tears immediately starts coming down. I wanna stay with my parents, I just found them I can't leave them again. About an hour later I hear a knock on the door and I yell a low come in, the door opens and I see Sabrina come in with a bowl in her hand "hey sweetie" she says and comes closer to me "I am made you some soup, come on sit up" she says and sits on the bed beside me "I'll feed you"she says and I sigh and sit up "you okay, looks like you have been crying" she says and I look down "Danielle wants us to go back to America" I say and I feel her body stiff "I don't want to leave you guys, I just found you" I say and whip away my tears. Sabrina sights and puts down the soup on the nightstand and sits closer to me and holds my arm "why don't you leave the job then?" She asks and I shake my head "you leave you die, that's why I got shot it's because I try to leave but they will find a way" I say and she sights and looks down "you can always come visit and we can always come visit" she says and I nod my head slowly "here is some soup honey" she says and started feeding me, couple minutes later the door opens and Isaiah walks in "hey Bella" he sits on the bed beside me, I look at him and notice he's wearing grey sweatpants with a white shirt and his hair is pulled back "had fun yesterday?" I say as Sabrina puts a full spoon of soup in my mouth "mm yeah" he says typing on his phone and puts it down "you are you feeling?" He again and I groan "would you ever stop asking that?" I ask and he shakes his head "you are my sister, I have to ask" he says, those words warm my hard and for the first time in days I actually smile like a real smile "I am okay Isaiah" I say and he nods and lays in the pillow closing his eyes "what's wrong with Nicole?" Mom asks and that makes Isaiah open his eyes and stare at the ceiling "she's just going through something" I say taking a sip from my water "I heard she's gonna be joining you guys now" Sabrina says and I nod "joining where ?" Isaiah asks "My job in America" I say and he gets up "your leaving" he asks and I sight and nod "boss called today and wants me back in three days" I say and he groan "come on we just got you" he says and mom sights "she will come visits us, plus Christmas is in two month so" she says and I nod my head. After mom and Isaiah left my room I quickly walked into the shower and strip out of my clothe.

After showering I change into a pair of shorts and a long sleeve white shirt, I put my wet hair in a bun. I walk out of the room and see Carl lying down on the bed, eyes closed. I walk up to him and sit down on the bed, he opens his eyes and sees me and a smile comes to his face "you smell like peaches I love it" he says and I lay down in his arms. He looks really tired and I feel bad because I know it is because of me, I lean in and give him a kiss on the lips, his hands going on my waist and kissing me back as well. I pull back and he smiles "What was that for?" He asks and I shrug "can't I kiss my boyfriend?" I ask and he chuckles "oh Nah you can kiss him whenever you feel like it," he says and I smile which makes his smile even bigger "go to sleep babe you look tired," I say playing with his hair "will you stay with me?" He asks and I nod "I'll be right here," I say and lean in kissing his forehead. Carl sights and closes his eyes, he hugs me and puts his head on the crook of my neck and takes in a deep breath, making my body go on fire.

A couple of minutes after I hear his soft

Snores and sight, he really needed to rest he has been doing nothing but taking care of me. I pick up my phone and a small smile comes across my face as I see my wallpaper, it's the picture of Carl and me, the one at my birthday party. I look over to his phone and open it to see his wallpaper the same as mine. I put his phone down and lean in kissing his forehead. I get out of bed slowly and make my way outside the room and walk into the living room to see Nicole and Isaiah sitting down beside each other playing on their phone, while Aubrey and Daniel are showing something to Sabrina. "Where is Carl" Daniel asks "sleeping," I say and he nods "good the boys look exhausted," Sabrina says and I nod, I walk to Sabrina and sight "wanna help me make dinner?" I ask and she smiles "of course," she says and we walk into the kitchen.

"I just wanna say thank you for taking care of me these past days, it means everything to me. Your the best mom anyone can ask for" I say and see tears in her eyes "come here" she says and hugs me "I'd do anything for you, sweetie, your my baby girl" she says and I smile "thank you mom" I say and feel her freeze "did you just call me mom?" She asks shock all of her faces "yeah I mean you are my mom" I say and I whip away the tears from her face.
