(EDITED)
I had been up in my room for a while now unpacking my suitcase. My room was so me it was white walls a balcony attached to it that looked over the gardens. There was a white stand with a big flat screen tv Infront of my bed. In one corner there was a big white desk which now had my laptop on it as well as notebooks, pens, pencils and other stationary I might need. Hanging above the desk was a beautiful picture of the beach. It also had a bathroom built on to the room which was pretty cool.
As I was unpacking the rest of my clothes, I couldn't help but wonder what was happening how did they react to me leaving. They were a negative in pact in my life and I don't want negativity like that. But in the end, they were still my family I can't help but miss them. I don't want revenge or to get back at them I just want a happy life full of positivity.
I looked at the time on my phone and realised that it was ten to six and I had to start heading down to the dining room. I packed the rest of the clothes into the dresser and quickly made my way out into the long hallway. I shut my door and rushed towards the direction of the staircase. After five minutes of wondering through the hall's, I finally found the staircase, letting out a sigh of relief I made my way down the staircase and into the dining room.
When I walked through the huge brown door's I saw Uncle Bill and Uncle Jeremy standing there no one else was here yet but they were talking to one of the guys in the suits. It wasn't normal conversation they both had very stern faces and seem very mad about something what I don't know but I sure would love to. Something was off I knew security carry guns, but I had a feeling they were so much more than just security.
Bill seems furious at the man there whispers soon got louder and louder. I decided it might be a good time to make myself known before it got to heated and fined myself caught in the middle of something. I cleared my throat catching all three of their attention.

"Uhm... sorry to interrupt" I said shyly looking down at my feet.
"Bella sweetheart you're not interrupting at all" Uncle Bill said before turning back to the unknown man "We will continue this later understood"
"Yes sir" the man said before walking swiftly past me and out the door.
"Come on over here, how are you Bella?" Uncle Bill asked me as I walked slowly over to him and Jeremy.
"I'm good, thank you for letting me stay here" I said to him quietly they both are quite intimidating.
"Your welcome Bella, I knew that you and your parents didn't have the best relationship" Bill said to me.
"Wonder why" I heard Jeremy mutter under his breath my head snapped in his direction, I didn't know exactly what he meant by that. But Uncle Bill must have thought the same thing as me, because his head also snapped in Jeremys direction.
"What? We all know that they don't care about anyone else but themselves, If I had my way Bella would've been hear with us ages ago" he said all the thoughts I had that I thought was my fault cleared my head.
"Ok everyone dinner is being served, where is those children of ours do they not know how to tell the time" you heard Caroline's voice before you could actually see her as she got closer you could hear the sound of her high heels clanking against the tiles. She soon appeared in the doorway of the dining room with Maya by her side dressed in a pink fluffy dress with Green fairy wings hanging off her back the sight alone made me smile ear to ear.
"I don't know where Jay and Char are but I'm guessing now that you have said that ever so loudly, they will be down any minute" Uncle Bill said to his wife, Caroline walked up to her husband with a smile on her face slapping him on the chest.
"Well that's the point darling, I talk nice and loudly and they come running" she said before turning to me and linking her dainty arm with mine and walked off in the direction on the huge oak table pulling me along beside her.

"I know how much you like my lasagne, so I baked it for us tonight" she said to me sitting me next to her and on the other side of her she sat Maya.
"What? Mum you never cook for us" I heard Jay exclaim taking a seat across from us as Char sat down beside him and Bill and Jeremy on either end of the table.
"Oh...Now you decide to listen any other time it goes in one ear and out the other" Caroline scowled at her teenage son Jay simply rolled his eyes and waited for the food to be put on the table.
Jay was two years older than me making him nineteen as I will turn seventeen in a month's time in August, Char was twenty-one years old and of course Maya will be seven in August as well. Soon enough dinner was brought to the table and was served, and everyone started eating. It was pretty much silence while everyone ate, all that was heard was knives and forks banging and scraping against the plates and glasses clinking.
After dinner I went back to my room to get ready for bed it has been a long day for me. I went for my shower and brushed my teeth; I had my pyjamas on and in bed by 8:30. I threw myself back onto the comfy pillows and cuddled into the fluffy comforter slowly drifting into sleep which was must needed.
I rolled back and forth before slowly opening my eyes I let out a sigh, checking my phone for the time I saw it was ten o'clock at night I slept for about an and a half. Knowing I wasn't easily going to get back to sleep I chucked the ever so warm blanket off of me and made my way to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water hoping it would make me sleep. Once I reached the fridge and grabbed my water.
I walked back to the massive stair case there was two ways you could turn once you reached the top, if you turned right it would take you to the bedrooms and if you turned left it would go to the offices and library that type of thing. I was just about to turn right when a dim light caught my attention down the other hall, I was curious as to what it was. You know what they say curiosity killed the cat, but I let the curious side get the better of me and went to see what it possibly was.
I stopped just in front of the room which had its door ajar, I heard voices coming from the room I quickly pressed my back against the wall beside the door hoping no one will come out just yet.
"How's the shipment going Jeremy" I recognised the voice as Uncle Bills.
"There good some seems like they will arrive on time" Jeremy answered back.
"No, they will arrive on time understand we can't afford muck ups we need those weapons" Bill said. Weapons why would they ever need weapons that's just all types of scary their businessman, they invest in stocks I thought to myself.
"I understand and I have never let you down before have I" Jeremy answered.
"No, you haven't, another thing Jeremy, Bella can't know" Bill said, "about any of this, it's a dangerous world the less she knows the better, after all Lucas and Cindy did it so we should be able to".
"I agree she would freak out and that's the last thing we need but we couldn't leave her there with them, let's face it they treated her horrible and if he found out all hell will break out" I heard Jeremy said who is he that's what I want to know.
"I know anyway we have meetings tomorrow I better call it a night" I heard Bill say I took off running down the hall to my room, when I was finally back in the room I shut the door and slid down it and let out a sigh of relief.
The only thought running through my mind was, what did I just hear
