A/N: Surprise!! I know i said i wouldn't be updating til Thursday but i seriously missed updating this story for you guys so much i had to come back early with a mini chapter<3 this is an upsetting one, so please be prepared to feel bad for Erika :(

When we got home Jacob instantly started bugging me about what the girls had said.

"Just tell me, Erika! I know they upset you and i feel like it had something to do with me."

"Just drop it, Jacob."

"No. I want to know."

I spun around and looked him dead in the eyes, "They said you wished I was never found and that i caused everyone here stress. Everyone thinks I'm a traitor, just in it for the money you guys have."

He opened his mouth to say something but then stopped and just sighed.

"So now you know. Are you happy now? Oh and what's this bullshit you fed me about being the outcast of the family when everyone in the freakin school knows who you are?" I spat angrily

Jacob shook his head, "You don't understand, Erika. I am the outcast of the family, just not of the school."

I rolled my eyes and walked away from him. I felt my blood boiling with anger.

He wouldn't stop following me around the house and eventually grabbed my arm, "Erika, I'm not kidding sit down and talk to me."

I pulled my arm away and narrowed my eyes at him, "Leave me alone. I don't even know who you are anymore."

"I'm the same guy I was the night we stayed up watching horror movies and talking about life! The one who comforted you and let you use my cell phone the first night you were here!" He exclaimed

Right then Annette walked in, "I'm sorry, did i just hear that Erika used a phone the first night she was here?"

"Thanks a lot." I sighed. I had totally been busted since I wasn't supposed to use any phone until they got me one.

"What on earth did you need a cell phone for? Who did you contact? Mike and Lisa?" She rambled on.

Jacob shook his head, "Mom, it's not a big deal."

"Yes, it is a big deal!" She sternly said turning to me. "You may have gotten away with this type of behavior in the past but that is not how things work around here."

I began to spill out everything quickly, "I texted Stacy, my best friend who convinced me to go with you guys who now hates me just like everyone else. You and Steve hate me for not loving my parents and now using the phone, Jacob hates me because I cause everyone stress.. hell Elizabeth probably wishes i we're still gone too sometimes! I'm sorry for making a mess out of everything."

Right when i finished, i began to cry harder than i had in a long time. I awkwardly stood there in the middle of the living room crying while Annette, Jacob, and Elizabeth all stared at me in wonder. I would never stop being the alien in the room.

Jacob took a step towards me but i put my hand out to stop him and rushed out of the room. I headed towards my room, shut the door, and slid down it onto the ground and just let everything out. Sometimes it's good to just cry out your emotions instead of bottling it up.
