The Reids And Me

Chapter 2

When i was younger i heard this quote saying "Family is not an important thing. It's everything" but as i fly through the air i realize how wrong that quote truly is. If family is everything then why did my father ever hurt me, why is my father sending me away, why are mother and sister dead and why is my brother in a coma when will i ever get to see him again.

This and more is what was running through my mind as the plane barrales through the air, i was deep in thought the whole time i didn't even notice the fact that we landed until a flight attendant appeared in front of me letting me know that it was time to get off the plane.

Once i have my bags i head towards the front of the airport (trying not to limp as i walk) hoping to see my mums best friend Rachel i haven't seen her in a few years but i'm hoping she will look close to the samebut see my problem is i'm guessing i actually have to find her because my dad never sepcified who i'm living with. 

As i reach the door to exit the airport i spot Rachel and her Husband George sitting on one of the seats beside the door, i begin to head towards them but just as i do Rachel spots me and sprints towards me engulfing me in a hug, making me groan in pain, which causes her to jump backwards 

"Your dad never specified why you were here but you look terrible dear not trying to be offencevie or anything i just uhh well i've put my foot in it haven't i" i just giggle at her

"Its ok i know what you meant and well that's a really long story and i don't think this is the right place" they smile at me "Your right let's get back to our place and we can talk" george says "Ohh yeah i hope you don't mind walking we don't live to far from here and we wanted a nice walk" Rachel seemed nervous as she talked "no that's fine i don't mind walking" i slightly lied normally i really wouldn't care but this could be a tad painful.

We walk the ten minute walk to there house talking about all sorts they asked about my hobbies and all that sorta thing but they also told me they have eight boys and no girls yeah you heard me eight boys and no girls. Then again i'm not that worried i wont be making friends with them anyways and even if i was guys can sometmes better than girls i mean some girls are good but yeah, i don't really like being a open person anyways. 

We arrive back at the house and i meet Victoria the nanny then head into George's office with him and Rachel we all sit down and i can tell they want me to tell them so i take a deep breath and tell them the whole story right from the first day he hit me i left out a few details that i don't want anyone to know ( i told my brother but i guess that's different) but told them the most of it, i managed to hold back the tears that wanted to pour down my cheeks.

Rachel cried hearing the news of her best friend having past so i gave her a hug and she seemed to calm down a bit

"Thank you so much sweetie for telling us this, we won't tell the boys so don't worry, your father will be delt with and i will sort out your brother as well" i smile at them knowing Rachel meant what she said after talking for a bit longer Rachel and i went into the kitchen and she gave me a plate full of brownies before taking me up to my new room. I walked through the door to see a huge room i mean this room was just about the size of my old house

"Wow" was all i could say, there was a king sized bed on one wall then across from that a huge tv mounted on the wall and on another wall there was a desk and spinny chair, sitting beside that there was a mini fridge, along the wall across from that there was a huge window with a seat running along the bottom but what caught my attention the most was the two white doors on either side of the tv. 

My staring at them must have caught Rachel's attention because she walked over and opened one to reveal a huge and i mean huge walk in wardrobe, my clothes won't even take half of this hell i doubt they will even take quarter of it, after the shock of how big the wardrobe was i walked back out to see the other door open i walk over to the door and look inside to see a gorgeous ensuite. This house this room everything was so amazing, too amazing if you ask me. Rachel was watching me i guess to figure out if i liked it.

"This room is just about bigger than my house" i say wanting her to know how much i do like it but the pink and white was giving me a slight head spin "Well this is your house now and i'm glad you like the room" she smiles as she talks "Like it i freaking love it" i say trying to give her a smile but it doesn't come so easy, I just want her to feel good "I'm glad and it's ok i get you need sometime, i have to go downstairs but here i want to give you this" she hands me a large bag that has a apple with a bite out of it on the side. I wait till she's out of the room before i sit down at my desk and pull out the two boxes from inside one a lot smaller than the other i open the larger box first to reveal and macbook my jaw dropped this must have been so expensive , well look at this whole house i guess.

I open the next box to show a iphone 8 plus. I turn the phone over to see a rose gold back,both gifts were gorgeous. After examining the outside for awhile i turned the phone on. It was already connected to the wifi and there were already contacts in it. The contacts were Alex, Colton, George, Jason, Logan, Mason, Max, Noah, and Rachel i was assuming they had all the boys numbers put in if i needed them.

After the buzz of receiving the devices passed reality hit me, my family's gone, i will never see my mother or sister again, i may never see my brother again i began to break down but then something else hit me as i realized that this also meant i would never ever have to see my bastard of a father again.

Sitting on the window seat looking out at the huge ocean with the sound of waves slapping against the rocks, it was one of the most amazing things i had ever seen and even after another sleepless night all i could think about was my brother and how much i missed him.

I headed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror but the person i saw looking back at me wasn't someone i recognised ............ i stripped out of my clothes and climbed into a burning hot shower, the pain from my burns was almost unbearable but i pushed myself through it, after washing scrubbing and shaving i turned off the water slowly making my way out and to my towel. Walking back out of the bathroom i once again caught my reflection, i still don't look like me. I rewrapped my burns in there bandages i had gotten from the hospital. I threw on a sports bra and booty shorts and my glasses while unpacking all my things which honestly isn't much, i throw a black crop hoodie on before climbing into my bed and turning the tv on i flick through the channels before landing on suicide squad.

I wasn't far into the movie when my phone dinged with a text

"There's some food down stairs if you would like it" - R

"Thanks but i'm not hungry" - A

I know i should have been honest and said that i just didn't want to socialise that things were hard enough already but i couldn't bare it she's done so much for me already and i don't want her to think it's her fault. Not long later there was a knock at my door followed my the nob being jiggled then after she realised it was locked Rachel shouts

"I know you said you weren't hungry but i brought you up some food"

I slowly climbed out of bed making sure not to hit my side and walked over to open the door, she brought the trey in and placed it on my desk before turning back to me and her eyes drifted to my burn bandages

"Aww hun that looks sore" she says giving me a sad smile

"It's third degree burns the whole way down and my head's still really bad as well" i say tucking my hair behind my ear to show her my cut " But i'm alive and i really can't complain" i finish

She gives me a hug being careful not to hurt me before heading out of my room closing the door on the way.

I pull my sisters teddy up and hold back my tears knowing i have to be strong and not longer after that for the first time in ages my eyes become droopy and i fall asleep.
