I couldn't look at Jake for some reason. Maybe it's too do with what Lola told me. I have another sibling.

"You gonna eat that?" Eli asks pointing to the sandwich on my plate. I shake my head and slide the white plate across the table to him.

"I'll be in the gym if anyone needs me." I stand up and begin to walk off.

"We'll join you." Danny, Brandon, Cole, Layne, Caden and blaze stand up.

I nod and walk off to my room to change into something I can work out in it. Working out right now is what I need to clear my head out. Changing into a pair of black crop leggings, a blue coloured sports bra, with a loose white crop top on top. I tied up my trainers and tied my hair up into a ponytail.

I begin to walk downstairs and towards the gym. I plug my earphones into my phone and put the buds in my ears as I walked into the gym, making sure to blast my music so I can't hear anyone else.

I stopped in my step a bit when I saw Carter, Emily, Jake and Harper there. Guess everyone is going to work out today.

Ignoring them I started to do some stretches. I begin by going on the treadmill first. Starting off with a walking before jogging. After about 20 mins I stop the treadmill and begin to some sit-ups, to help tighten my abdominal muscles.

Standing up again, I jump as my earphone is pulled out my ear. I turn to look at Danny with a raised brow. "We're having a few matches in the box, wanna join?" He asks nodding his head over where everyone is standing looking at me expectantly.

"Uh. . . No, but thanks for asking." I say to Danny.

"Oh come on, one match," Cole says.

I open my mouth to speak but get cut off.

"Leave her, she doesn't want to fight," Carter says turning is back on me and looking at Emily. I swallow the lump forming in my throat and give Danny a forced smile as I walk out of the gym.

As much as I wanted to hold it in. I couldn't.

"Sophia." I look up at John. I smile at him and walk over to him.

"Yeah?"

"You met with your dads assistant today?"

"Yes, I did."

"How did it go?"

"Could have gone better."

He sighs. "You found out didn't you?"

"You knew?" I ask shocked.

"For a while, I always told your dad to end it, it's wrong. But he never listened. He hurt your mother in more ways than one." He says looking out to the distance.

"What did he do to her?" I ask him.

"I'll tell you that another day." He smiles and begins to walk off after I nodded.

"And Sophia." He calls out behind me. I turn around and look at him.

"My boy is an idiot, for letting someone like you go."

My mouth falls open slightly and watch as he walks off and into the gym.

"Suicide if you ever try to let go, uh
I'm sad, I know, yeah, I'm sad, I know, yeah. I gave him I gave him everything. He took my heart and left me lonely. I think a broken heart's contagious. I won't fix, I'd rather weep. I'm lost then I'm found. But it's torture bein' in love. I love when you're around. But I fuckin' hate when you leave." I sing changing the lyrics a bit as I apply my false lashes. I relate to that song on another level.

I left my phone on shuffle as it plays random songs while I get ready. It's been over a week since I had that meeting with the lawyer and my dad assistant.

Alex made a big announcement yesterday, he's going to propose to Melissa today. His girlfriend. We're all going out to a restaurant, where he's going to do it. Melissa's family is also invited. She thinks it's just a big family dinner, she definitely not going to expect it. Emily also decided to invite her family.

After I'm finished with my makeup, I put on my black, skin-tight dress. It shows off my figure perfectly, I strap up my black heels and then let my hair loose letting the curls down.

I grab my jacket and pull it over my shoulders, with my clutch in my hands. I press my lips together and smile at my reflection as my eyes set onto my mother pendant which lies on my neck. My sliver hoops shine in the light and match my outfit perfectly.

"Sophia." A knock sounded on my door. It opened up to reveal Danny with a blond girl on his arms.

"You look amazing." He compliments me.

"You really do." the girl sincerely compliments me. "I'm Taylor." She introduces herself, holding her hand out for me to shake which I do.

"Sophia."

"Oh, I already know, Danny speaks very highly of you." She smiles.

"Let's go down." Danny interrupts our conversation.

I begin to walk downstairs with the pair. Feeling like a bit of a third wheel, I walk downs the strips and walk over to Brandon who stands alone.

"Hey," I smile at him.

He gives me a boyish grin, "You look gorgeous."

"You look handsome. But this tie could use some work." I say as I go to fix his tie and collar.

"Let's go." I jump from Carter's loud voice. I let of Brandon's tie and pat down his blazer, I smile at him before we both make our way out.

"Stop it, Noah." Elizabeth scolds little Noah who now sits there with a cute pout on his lips and his arms folded. We all sit on a long rectangular table. Brandon on my left and Jake on my right.

Alex then stands up. "I have an announcement to make." Everyone looks up at him.

"I'm going to skip the long speech and just-just those words out my mouth before I run off." He chuckles. Getting on one knee in front of Melissa, taking out a beautiful diamond ring.

Melissa gasps and puts her hands to her face, tears forming in my eyes. "Yes, yes, yes." She screams and hugs him.

"I didn't even ask you anything yet." He laughs. A let out a little laugh at Melissa's face.

"Will you marry me?"

"Of course you big bear." Brandon snorts next to me at the nickname. I slap his chest telling him to shut up. I look away when they kiss. My eyes find a certain somebody's, who then stands up.

"I also have an announcement to make," Carter says. "As most of you already know, Emily and I are moving into our own house, where we will both be raising our child together."

"I want to take full responsibility for this child and I know that this child is going to be in my life forever. A lot of you think I might be making a rash decision, but I'm doing this because I think it's right." He gets on one knee in front of Emily and my throat begins to clog up.

"Will you marry me, Emily?"
