I understand where her thoughts came from. But this is our mom! Seriously Stefa, only because she came to get us we won't need to live in an orphanage or foster home.

And she loves us. She didn't say that yet but I can see it in her eyes. I cling to Stefa's arm because even though I would love to run and hug my momma I need to show that we are a team. But this whole thing feels really awkward so I guess I should try to do something ...

"I'm sure she had a reason to not pick us up earlier, Stefa."
The glare Stefa gives me could kill people but oh well.
"Right, mom?"
"Honey, we never gave up on searching for you guys, but Amalia was really good at hiding all your tracks, so we didn't have a clue where we should even start", mom said.

"Lies. See Luna it's no use listening peoples lies. You didn't want us and Amalia took us in because she pityied us." You can hear Stefas anger while she says that.

Well, it's right, that's what we were told our whole lives but what if.. "what if not mom is lying but Amalia lied to us." I thought about this possibility a lot to tell the truth.

"I know we were not on good terms with them but not even they would've lied to us for so long, Luna."

"This will clear itself with time I would say." Oh, it's the first thing the boy next to mom said.
"You're our brother right? You look so similar to Stefa it's crazy."

The Man smiled at me which I greatfully returned. "That's right, Luna love."
"Don't call her love." Stefa interrupts and if glares could kill he would've died.

I really do understand that Stafa is angry, but they are our chance for a new life! Stefa would never ever have bruises all over her body. I know that she has them now and every now and then there are more on her but she never told me how she gets them or anything at all. I mean I understand that she has secrets she keeps to herself, like I have mine. But I want to help her. And these people seem to be the only way I can help her.

"Where do you guys live ? Will we move in with you?"
Mom smiled greatfully at me as I changed the subject, "Yes we will now go get your stuff and then bring you home to our house in Chicago."
"Chicago? I would love to visit the library there!"

"that's great, let's go then."

(The library)


They wanted us to say goodbye to our friends, but Stefa and I don't really have friends so we kinda awkwardly told them that it's not necessary. Amilia always found a way to ruin the friendships we had. Stefa is enough for me though.
The car they came with was a Porsche I guess. I don't really care about such things but the car just screamed 'rich people in here'. The drive was mostly silent because Stefa is clearly in a bad mood and the two of the didn't want to anger her more.

When they see in what a little house we were living they looked at us with eyes full of pity and sadness.
Not the first time someone looked at us like that but definitely the first time it felt really shitty.
Then again maybe we can use this pity to make them not treat us like crab?

Oh well they haven't seen the house from inside yet and because I don't want them to pity us more for now I tell them to wait outside because we won't need much time to get our stuff cause, as said already, we don't have much at all.

"Please don't trust and love them just because they said they are our family. Amalia showed us that family doesn't mean automatically love."

I guess we need to talk about this situation and we're alone now so no way leads past this argument.

"I think we should at least try to trust and love them."

Love is probably too early to say, but I can't think of anything else we could do.

"BUT WE DON'T KNOW THEM!" She shouted this sentence so they probably heard us outside but oh well.

"I KNOW! But they are our way to be together! Because Amalia and Stan died we have nothing! No home, no money and because we are underage we would get into an orphanage otherwise! We should be greatful that they came to get us now!"

"I know. I mean I am. I just don't want you to start loving and trusting them and then they just break your heart! I worry about you, don't you get it?" Stefa whispered and I can see not shed tears shine in her eyes. So I make my way to her and hug her while I say: "And i'm thankful for that, really. But given the circumstances I don't think we will have much of a choice. So let's wait and see how they treat us, we're finally able to leave this shithole, isn't that exciting at all for you ?"

I hear her chuckle and then we break away from each other and continue to pack our things.

-

I'm internally screaming right now. They have their own private jet here and i'm standing right in front of it. How rich is our family ?
I hear a deep chuckle next to me and then someone say " if you don't close your mouth, insects will fly in."

I look up and meet dark green eyes. That's our brother but he still hasn't introduced himself properly. "You still haven't introduced yourself." I tell him.

His eyes go wide and he combs his hair back with his hand. " I guess I completely forgot, I'm your oldest brother Nathaneal. It's nice to meet you two."
He smiled and I must say he's gorgeous when he smiles. He looks very much like Stefa so that's a given, but woah.

"The pleasure is ours" I tell him and smile back.

"Are you guys coming?" Mom shouts from the entry of the jet.
We make our way in there and I realize I'm really sleepy, but it's my first time flying ever so I can't just fall asleep! As if she could read my mind Stefa chuckles and says I should just sleep and I need my energy to meet the others.

-

I'm being shaked awake. Huh? We're in a car, and I'm about to ask how no one woke me up to walk to the car myself but Stefa tells me that Nathaneal carried me into the car and that she wanted to stop him but wanted me to sleep a bit more. "They said we will be at the mansion soon, so you should mentally prepare to meet other people."
"Thanks Stef, I'm kinda scared to meet the others. What if they don't like me and only want to keep you ?" Crap, I didn't mean to say this out loud.

"If they don't want you, they wouldn't want me either. You're an angel and every person that doesn't like you has serious issues. We'll run away if that's the case." The last part she whispered so only I could hear it but it made me smile nonetheless.

I knew she would say something like that, she always finds a way to cheer me up but she doesn't realize that most people like her way more than she thinks.

"We're here!" Mom tells us and the car stops in front of the biggest mansion I've seen in my entire life.

After just standing there and looking shocked at it for a few minutes I grab Steffas hand and we make our way inside right behind Nath.

Mom walks up to something that looks like a microphone and says something. The house is so big that they need microphones to communicate? Rich people problems are just different. She probably said that we're here or something and my guess turns out to be correct because there are suddenly lots of footsteps running down the stairs..
