How to save life

Chapter 2 the reunion

The morning came of the day we went to see mum I woke up like any over morning and went to the bathroom and got a shower and got ready I wore my ripped jeans and one of my brothers Joel's old hoodies he use to be so tall so I managed to fit in his clothes since I was on 5 foot 4 and he use to be 5 foot 10. later I heard banging on the door GRACE a voice shouted from outside they shouted again GRACE again and eventually they barged into room it was Tyler he came in and asked if I was ready Sam was going to drive us up then he stopped and stared at me and realised I had Joel's hoodie on he just smiled at me and told me that we're going now and that Joel was going to kill me I just laughed And I grabbed my bag hugged my dad and he said I'll see you in the summer to me , Tyler Joel Henry and Darren . sam finished loading the car and then we all race to see who would be sat in the front I lost and ended up in the back with the twins Darren and Henry this was no fun at all and Joel got stuck with all the bags we were going up for a week well that's what we thought anyway.

Car ride
Sam- what are yous all doing back there
Henry - betting to see if mums gonna tell us she pregnant or not
Darren - so far me and grace are saying that what it will be and Joel and Henry are going with she getting her boobs done
Tyler- put me down for that she's pregnant
Sam- same here cause she said we've got news
Grace -she said surprise but did anyone else know what dad meant when he said see you in August ?
Sam- I don't know weird
We all laughed
3 hours later when we arrived in London
It was around 6 pm we pulled into an estate full of big house we drove down a gated community these were not the kind of houses we were use to back home all my brothers had to share there was two in each room but then Sam moved out to uni but we only had small rooms two of them slept in the attic anyway we finally got to a huge grey gate with a buzzer on it I (grace ) shout who the fuck is mum marrying I knew he was rich but I didn't know he was this rich everyone agreed Sam spoke how do we get in Darren and Henry looked at each other and got out the car and climbed over the fence and then the gates magically opened also some alarm started going off in the background weird. We drove up a long path full of trees we all gazed out the window eventually we got to this house well it wasn't a house it was more of a mansion I looked at it my jaw dropped open and I had no clue what to say we got out the car and there she stood with tears in her eyes she looked gorgeous stood there in an jeans a white blouse and a gorgeous dark blue blazer with the Chanel logo on it her blonde hair curled perfect I couldn't believe it , it was mum Tyler spoke "she had definitely had plastic surgery " not loud enough for her to hear she came walking over to us I didn't know what to think I felt so weak I could feel an anxiety attack coming on I just grabbed Tyler's hand and squeezed it Tyler is my favourite brother he just looked at me and said it's ok do you want to take the meds no I just put my other hand in my pocket and played with my stress ball I just said no I want to deal with this on my own without the meds I'm on medication to help me feel less stressed I can have quiet bad anxiety attacks I didn't leave my room at one point anyway. Mum eventually finished walking over and started giving hugs and she was crying she got to me and Tyler I was still holding his hand tight and hugged us both and just looked at me in they eyes my baby girl she then stroked my face I stepped back she then spoke welcome to your new home Joel was confused he was extremely smart Joel and he spoke what do you mean by new home mum stood there for a minute with a face of panic and confusion I'll explain at tea when you meet dale and his family let me show you to your rooms so you can unpack next minute we see a moving than pull up on the drive what's that Sam asked mum replied nothing. We eventually the house through 2 huge grand oak doors wow it was huge mum took us upstairs and said our rooms are in the west wing we each got our own room and we could decorate them I thought to myself why would we decorate them were only here for a week aren't we. Anyway we eventually all found our rooms and went and put our stuff away I walked into my room and my face dropped I had a king sized bed with silk sheets and huge cushions and a gorgeous gold bed frame and my favourite part the vintage bay window that overlooked the huge garden wow I thought did mum marry a prince or something I looked round my room was huge eventually I heard a nock on the door and next minute Tyler walked in hey can we talk he says I just nodded my head and he came in and sat on my bed so I came and sat next to him he looked at me I just stared down at my feet with tears forming my eyes he just sat there and said Are you ok I just Burst out in a rant to him WHAT THE HELL DID SHE MEAN BY NEW HOME AND WHAT DID DAD MEAN BY SEE YOU IN AUGUST
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ITS BEEN 3 YEARS TYLER 3 FUCKING YEARS AND NOW SHE WANTS TO SEE US AND WHO THE HELL IS DALE SOME PRINCE I screamed all that and then just broke down in tears I feel drained t he just sat there and hugged me I just cried into his shoulder breath G it's gonna be ok next minute Sam came in yous ok he asked Joel followed him in I just started laughing and said ye did I scare you Joel said ye I was trying to read Sam hit him on they head and said what would we do without Joel the king of dorks we all just laughed and sat on my bed Sam spoke I know what yous are all wondering but like she said she'll explain at tea which is an hour and half away so why don't I go grab a pack of cards and the other set of twins and will play a game we all agreed to it and so we did about 40 minutes we heard giggles and shouts coming from the garden Henry asked what's that ? Darren asked I don't know coming from out the window Sam said go and Look out the window then you idiots they both got up and moved to the window and they spoke guys yous should come and see this they both said we all rushed over I said what the GRACE , Joel kindly interrupted me before I could finish my sentence he always hated it when I swore but then Tyler spoke who do you think they are there was 2 little girls down there and a boy around my age to Sam then spoke who ever they are I'm guessing will find out at tea cause looks like mums going to talk to them. Eventually it was time for tea and all I could think was who were tho kids and what did dad mean this morning. Eventually we found the dining rooms who knew they had a room just for eating we walked in there was a huge table it could fit 12 people around it we was the first ones to come in me and all my brothers had just walked in then we heard laughing again then 2 blonde girls came running in they looked rather young both in baby pink dresses Poofy dresses that went to there knees they came in and all of a sudden stoped laughing and started to stare behind them came in a blonde boy he looked around my age he had a brown hair bit of a ket wig behind him came mum the 2 girls shouted MUMMY they went over and hugged her I wasn't sure what to do we all just stood there next to each other awkwardly until mum said sit down we all sat down there was Joel me Tyler Henry and Daren on one side then the 3 strangers and Sam he left a seat between him and they 3 strangers on they other side and mum sat at they head of then dale he went and sat at they other end of head he was right by Sam and Darren then all of a sudden some lady came in dishing out bowls of chicken or tomato soup it looked Devine I wasn't sure what to say tho then all of a sudden dale spoke he said welcome you lot what a pleasure it is that you'll be here with us for a while mum interrupted him honey I haven't told them yet , told us what Tyler shouted let us introduce everyone then we will tell you what's going on Tyler darling mother said
