I left them all just staring at me, wondering about court and what was going to happen. I got a call from Lisa, saying my brothers had paid for our case to be pushed forwards to just two days in time. It was around 9 at night now and I was just chilling on a bridge, just sat with my legs dangling over the edge.

I didn't really feel scared though. It was almost exciting.

I was quite happy just chilling here on my own. The rain stopped an hour or so ago, and I managed to find a bus stop to wait for the rain to stop. I managed to find a small bridge at the side of the city outskirts. It was pretty small but pretty comfy.

I heard a faint noise from behind me, a small purring. I turned slowly to see a small kitten sat at the bottom of the bridge, hanging on to the railing as it wrapped its body around it, shivering from the cold. It was a dark black colour with white dots on either cheek, as if it was blushing. I slowly got off the bridge and headed in it's direction.

It noticed me after a second as it cowered away. I just smiled at it gently as I put my hand out, sitting patiently as it slowly made it's way towards me. I waited until the last second as it licked my hand, as my other hand stroked her tiny head. At least I think it was a her.

It purred again, but this time alot calmer and obviously less afraid. I managed to pick her up without her trying to run as she snuggled deeped into my chest, obviously enjoying the small amount of warmth my body was portraying outwards.

"Why hello there little one", I said with a calm and gentle voice, as she purred back at me, as if saying back herself. I didn't really know what to call her, she was a black so maybe pearl, like the black pearl from that Jack Sparrow movie.

Pearl. I liked it. I held her closer as I climbed back onto the bridge, sitting on the edge as I stroked her, letting my legs waver off the side.

I was just chilling when a car pulled up beside me. I didn't move off the bridge when they got out of the car, but strangely I felt safe. I felt a very familiar scent and thats when I knew who it was. I just stayed where I was sat, swinging my legs back and forth in rhythm.

"Hey Angel", Mike said from behind me, putting an arm around my waist and pulling me onto the ground. I didn't really fight him, I was too tired at this point. He looked at me with wide eyes and went to touch my face. I had completely forgotten about the cut on my head, but it stopped bleeding ages ago. He put his hand on my cheek. It took him a moment to see Pearl in a tiny ball in my arms.

"I was worried about you, why didn't you call? Are you alright Tills? Also, who is this little thing", He asked with sincerity, staring back at me and pearl. I just nodded as I was too tired to say anything and pulled him into a hug. He didn't waste anytime to put his arm around my waist and a hand on my head. I just stood their silently, as my eyes closed more and more out of tiredness, probably from crying so much.

I think Mike realised this as he pulled me up into Bridal position and made sure to rest my head on his shoulder as I kept Pearl in the small cave in my stomach. He walked over to the car and opened the door to the passenger seat and placed me gently inside, he then pulled a jumper from the backseat and put it over me, I think to keep me warm I didn't know. Pearl seemed to love it though as she practically dove underneath it.

He then moved the jumper so it was tightly around me, Pearl herself cuddling so her head was touching the bottom of my chin. Ooh, I've read about this in fairy tale books, its when a person tucks you in to make sure you safe. It was pretty odd, I always just tucked myself in at night. It was to make sure that I was safe at night from my father, waiting for him to get home and pass out so I could finally go to sleep.

"Your just so beautiful", I heard him say, before I shut my eyes and let myself pass out, safe in his car, tucked in.

-------------------------

I woke up with a huge yawn, with my body stiff. I looked and saw that I was still wearing my clothes but my shoes and socks were off. I reached up to the cut on my head, but it now had a bandage on it and the blood was now all gone. I put my head down in embarrassment into my pillow as I screamed.

I looked around for Pearl, only to see her chilling on the floor with a seemingly new cat bed, with a bowl of I think tuna and milk next to her. She was knocked out though, I could just hear her adorable baby snores.

Jesus I made such a fool of myself yesterday. I let myself cry infront of my brothers and hug them, after everything they did. I even let Mike tuck me in. Jesus he even saw me cry all over again.

I am such an idiot! A big fat stupid idiot.

I screamed into my pillow and smashed the pillow on my head over and over again.

"Hey hey, stop it", I heard someone say whilst pulling the pillow away from me. I look up to see Mike stood watching me in confusion. It didn't really hurt though as it was only a small pillow.

"Yesterday didn't happen!", I said quickly. He moved his head back a little and smirked.

"Happen?", He asked, sitting onto the bed as I just stared at him, with the sun on his beautiful face, his muscles catching my attention. He noticed this and smirked as I blushed and looked away.

"Yeah, just forget everything", I said not looking at him, but I could feel his smirk on me as I rolled my eyes. I turned to him but he was alot closer than I thought he was. His smell was enticing and his lips were so soft. He was staring at mine at the same time, as he moved a little closer to me every second.

We both were staring into eachothers eye when he moved over a bit more , causing me to move back alittle , which made me fall off the bed.

I squealed as I did as I heard him laugh. I laid on the floor for a second, sighing as I got up and blew a bit of hair away from my face. I jumped back up onto the bed and just shook my head at him as Mike was practically cackling from laughter. I just waited for his to be done with a bored look on my face, but on the inside my heart was beating and I was smiling.

"Ughh, whatever I'm starving", I said to him, punching him playfully in the shoulder. He just glared at me with a smile as I did and we both went downstairs to eat, as I gave Pearl a small look to make sure she was alright, only to find her still fast asleep. I just shook my head and followed him downstairs.

When I got there his friends were also stood there eating, without any shirts by the way. I just looked down at the ground in annoyance. I guess it was there house so I shouldn't really argue with them either.

"Heyo Matilda, come here, we just made bacon and pancakes", Adam said to me with a smile, in which I nodded and went over to him. He gave me a plate of food and I sat down next to him, not ignoring Mike's eyes contantly staring at me and I think kind of glaring at Adam but not really.

I took one bite of the pancakes and I practically moaned with joy. I saw Mike squirm when I did which made me internally smirk at myself. Mike then got a call from his phone and left the room as I heard mine go off in my room. I put the fork down and rushed past the group of them. Adam was just chilling eating bacon and Noah was on his laptop typing away at something, Harry had a big cup of coffee and his eyes were practically glued shut. Shaun however was just staring at me.

"What are you going to do about your brothers?", He asked, put I rushed past him to get to my phone upstairs.

"ONE SEC! LET ME JUST GET THIS", I yelled down the stairs as I went to my room. I managed to get there when the last rang went off.

"Hello?", I asked into the phone, it was a private number that I didn't know before.

"Hey girl, it's Lisa", She said back. I smiled and then frowned.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?", I asked her quickly. She laughed a little.

"You are such a doll sweetheart, no, I was just letting you know that they are moving the date once more to tommorow", She said. I gasped and sat down onto the bed.

"WHAT? How?", I asked her. She stayed silent for a second before coughing.

"They have money and power doll, it's just how to world works", She said, I could practically see her shaking her head.

"Okay, well are we ready?", I asked her.

"As ready as we will ever be sweetheart, Monty has other things as well if they don't go to plan", She said hesitantly. I raised my eyebrows.

"Like what?", I asked her suspiciously.

"Well, I'll explain it to you tommorow hun, but for now just relax, have some coffee and chocolate and for a walk or something, everything will be alright sweetie. I got to go, I'll call you later sweetie", She said, and cut me off pretty much afterwards. I just stood up slowly and went over to the window.

I stood there for a second before there was a knock at the door.

"Are you alright?", I heard Mike asked me. I just nodded without looking at him. For some reason I just wanted to be left alone, but I knew that it was a bad idea as I would just be left with my thoughts.

"Well, that was Stone checking in that you got home safe. God what a complete hypocrite", I heard him say, whispering the last part but I still heard it, but still, I didn't comment on what he said.

"Oh", I just replied, staring out of the window, into the clouds and the greenland.

"Whats on your mind?", He asked me. I stayed silent for a second before sighing and turning around to him.

"They moved the date again to tommorow. I feel sick Mike, what if they deny it? What the hell am I suppose to do it, I can't keep living this fake life of happy family", I said to him, and as I did his eyebrows scrunched more and more and he looked more and more upset.

"Tommorow? How the hell did they get a judge to accept that?", He asked as he stood there thinking.

"HEY GUYS COME DOWN HERE!", Noah yelled up at us. Mike rolled his eyes and held his hand out for me. I put my hand in his and he pulled me gently downstairs and into the kitchen, in which Noah had a very panicked look on his face.

"So, I did what you told me, and I got everything I could of them, they had a shit ton of firewalls and it took me two full nights and days to get past them all but I finally got into it, and to be honest with you, I really wish I hadn't.", He said, with an almost haunted look on his face.

"Why, what do they do?", I asked, looking at all of them, Adam looked stricken whereas Shaun and Harry looked disgusted.

"Come look for yourself, but I pre-warn you", He said. I nodded at him to show me the laptop and he turned it around to me. I gasped as I saw it.

It was her.

The woman from my dreams,

on the floor,

with a bullet in her head.

Mum?

I just stared in shock at the photo. I thought it was my fault though? I looked more into the photo and noticed my blanket from when I was a baby in her arms.

"What? How? How did this happen?", I asked Shaun, tears coming into my eyes. He looked back at the image on the screen as I could feel the bile coming up in my throat. I put my hand over my mouth and ran straight to the bathroom, just getting to the toilet in time.

As I threw up I felt Mike hold my hair back to make sure sick didn't get into it. It kept coming for a few minutes before it all stopped. I sat on the bathroom floor with my arms over my legs, with tears brimming.

"They lied to me. They said it was all my fault", I said, crying out to Mike, who pulled me in and held me.

"Hey, um, Tills, you might want to see this", Adam said, coming through into the bathroom with tears also in his eyes. I just nodded and clung onto Mike as he pulled me. I walked into the kitchen and both Shaun and Harry were just staring at me with looks of pity, but at this point in time I didn't really care.

"What happened to her?", I whispered to them. They all looked down but Noah who looked right at me.

"Well I'll start from the beginning", He said, with a look of pity and determination in his voice.

What the hell is going on? Why did my father and brother lie to me about how she died?
