"Did you know Grayson, Elijah, Ezra and Everleigh moved out of the house yesterday?" Madison asks all of us but the question was directed mainly at me if there was anyone that should have known it was me.
But I hadn't known.
"What?" The frown on my face gives away that I hadn't been told this information. I hadn't spoken to Auriella this morning or last night. She had been vague in her messaging saying she was having a bonding night with her siblings.
She was telling the truth. She never outright lies, but she had missed some very crucial details in her story. We can't be going through this again.
"Yeah," Madi says softer this time, seeing how I never knew either. "Em hadn't told me much except there was a fight and Crew somehow got Lilianna and Nicolas to sign guardianship over to him and Olivia."
"Oh, thank God." Eleanor breathed, looking like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. I had never noticed how much the siblings behind in that house had worried her, but now looking back at it, it was apparent she always had all of them over here, feeding and trying to give them the nurture they all lacked.
I scroll through my notifications, seeing an alert that Auriella had been over at our cabin yesterday in the late afternoon. I had overlooked it, thinking she had just wanted some space away from her large family. I opened up the security cameras and saw she and Grayson had been over there, dropping off her suitcases. They had stayed there for a while, watching a movie before leaving as the sun started setting. After that, there was only a single message from Ella telling me to sleep well, to which I had replied, nothing about the drama of yesterday. I type out a message and sent it to her, reading the reply before pocketing my phone, and heading back downstairs so I could leave for school.
ANR: We need to talk, just the two of us.
AES: We do. See you at school.
ANR: Sounds good, I love you.
AES: I love you more <3
"Ready to go?" Madi asks me, looking guilty that she had dropped such a bomb on me, but it wasn't her fault.
"Yeah, come on."
Liam catches up to the two of us, he took the passenger seat while Madi slid in behind us. "I might not know you and your girlfriend too well, but I know that Everleigh's brain often gets ahead of her. I wouldn't take it personally."
He was right, but that wasn't the point. Auriella always told me everything. I was almost always on the listening side to every single one of her rambling tangents, and if she didn't tell me something as big as this, that meant we were drifting.
It was already hard essentially regressing our relationship from where we were with each other all the time to having limited time together and it was monitored save for the few moments we could sneak behind everyone's backs.
