Falling Into The Deep End

Chapter 19

The next day, I head down after getting dressed into an oversized sweater dress considering I don't have anywhere else to be. In the kitchen everyone is awake and Anna, Henry's wife, is also there as well as Margeret, my cook.

"Hey Guys" I say joyfully

Everyone looks at me with some weird expression and I choose to ignore it by going to get some water from the fridge then go sit next to Daniel on the table where everyone else is sitting and Margeret sits opposite me

"I see you've made yourself comfortable" I observe by the way they are scoffing down their breakfast

"This food is amazing" Noah says

"Thank you Margeret, you are an amazing cook" Oliver says

"Thank you, Oliver," Margeret replies

Just then my phone rings and Daniel picks it up to check who is calling since it was closer to him as the my brother, cousin, Oliver and Nathan's mask with shock

"Its thing 5" he says, and Daniel, Anna and Henry look up at Noah who looks confused and I pick up the phone to answer

"Hey there" I greet Linda

"Hey beautiful. How are you doing?" Linda replies

"I'm great actually. Guess who I ran into yesterday" I say

"The Fantastic Four? God, I miss my husband. How did that go?" she asks

"Don't go all lovey dovey on me. Why don't you see for yourself? I'll put on speakerphone" I say as look to see everyone expressions: Anna, Henry, Margeret and Daniel are smirking whilst the boys look confused

I set the phone down after putting on the speaker

"Hi Linda" Anna says

"Hey Linda" Henry says

"Morning Linda" Daniel says

"Hey guys, I miss you all" Linda replies

The guys jaws drop, and Noah looks at me with wide eyes

"Um hi babe" Noah says

"Morning! I miss you" Linda replies

I burst out in laughter not being able to contain it anymore and Anna, Henry, Daniel and Margeret follow along

"Your faces are priceless. We did good, Linda, didn't we?" I say to Linda

"Yepp" she says with amusement

"OK please explain" Noah says

"Oh yeah sorry so basically before I left, I knew Noah was in love with Linda and vice versa so I told Linda what I was going to do. By the way, Noah you did good you really enjoyed the falling in love with the nurse, didn't you?" I say and Noah scowls whilst everyone else laughs "Anyway, Linda has become one of best friends and came to visit every now and then hence why everyone knows her. She helps me with stuff like I wanted to be at you guys wedding, so she helped me be at it as well as Andrew and Oliver's engagement party. I was at most of the important events in your life including your high school graduation" I say

The four of them get up and wrap their arms around me in a group hug

"Wow, sis" Noah says

"Yeah wow, couz" Andrew says

"I love you, belle" Oliver says

"Thank you" Nathan says

They release me

"I really love you guys. More than you can ever know. Noah, Nathan, Andrew, Oliver, you guys made it easier for me to grow up and Daniel, Henry, Anna, Margeret, make me want to continue to live. Linda, I don't what I would do without you" I say affectionately
