chapter 21: The sibling bond

I woke up the next morning, feeling as groggy as ever. It was quite early when I checked the time on the nightstand. So I decided to go to the gym room.

I don't know how long I have been there. But I felt a presence behind me making me turn around. It was Belinda.

"I am quite sorry to disturb you. But Mister John has sent me to fetch you for breakfast." She said and I gave her a polite smile.

"I'll be out in a minute" I said and she nodded and left.

Today is the day I go to Singapore. I get to see what my father had planned for my siblings and I. By the end of today, I hope all my questions would be answered.

I walked into the dinning room to find uncle John and my siblings there, except for Raelynn.

"Where's Raelynn?" I asked Ruby.

"Belinda is feeding her" she said and I nodded. Just as I was about to sit down uncle John spoke to me.

"Don't you dare sit on that chair. Go take a shower, you stink." He said. I was shocked at first by what he had just said.

Was this seriously the man I was comforting yesterday? I thought we were starting to build a relationship.

But then I realized that he will always be the same uncle John. A part of me knew he wouldn't change. I just smiled to myself and turned to leave the dinning room.

"And where exactly are all of you going?" I stopped and turned around to see my siblings trailing behind me.

Ronan turned around to face uncle John. His black hair was a mess as it fell in front of his bright blue eyes. He placed his hands in his pyjamas pockets which made him look adorable but intimidating at the same time. Just like dad.

"Oh sorry uncle John, but we haven't had a shower either, after all, we all kinda stink. We wouldn't want to disgust you." I am pretty sure my jaw had broken at that moment.

Where was my quiet little brother? And who the hell is this rebellious guy?

with that he turned around and left the dinning room with the rest trailing behind.

Leaving me and uncle John speechless. I looked at uncle John and surprised would have been an understatement to what I saw. He was smiling. I scratched my head trying to understand what just happened.

Ok where the hell am I? And where is my family?

After taking a long relaxing shower. I walked over to the closet and grinned when I found a black hoodie and black sweatpants with black combat boots. I just love wearing hoodies, and sweatpants, and combat boots, and black.

After wearing my clothes, I decided to grab the bag mom gave me and check if the picture and guns were still there. I didn't really care about the credit cards.

For some reason, I feel like there is more than enough money waiting for me and my siblings in Singapore. But nevertheless I still took everything.

I walked into the lobby to find all my siblings wearing the same clothes as me. Except for Ronan, he was wearing a white hoodie and blue jeans with white sneakers.

I smiled at them, realizing I haven't really been talking to them much since mom and dad's death.

"Hey guys, thanks for what you did earlier. It was really sweet." I said.

"No worries, we weren't going to let uncle John talk shit about you." Rolland said putting his arm over my shoulder.

"And besides we promised to stick together, our sibling bond." Ruby said walking up to my side.
