Forgotten

21

People who don't think before they talk are the worst type of people because how could he really sit there and decide to say what he said.

Silence befalls the room. No one speaks, no one breaths out loud and for a few seconds we all just sit there and look at each other until Max breaks the silence with a hiccup.

I chuckle and hand him a glass of water to which he gulps down.

So cute.

Dad then speaks "What do you mean by that?" He asks.

Honestly, I would also want to know because him saying that made it sound like i would be coming to live with them again and God only knows that won't happen.

"Ever since we found out Eureka was alive we have been working on ways to get her back" Sebastian replies making me look up at him.

"With who's consent?" I ask and take a bite out of my stake while still looking at him. I'm very sure my tone sounds disrespectful but I couldn't care less.

Elijah clears his throat to somewhat clear the tension in the room before replying "We just thought since you were back you would like to come back got your family"

I glare at him "You never really were good at thinking, were you Elijah"

I notice his jaw clench before he slams his fist on the table "I am your older brother and you shall not speak to me in that manner" he yells.

Henry angrily drops his fork with a loud clack and glares at Elijah "This fool is so loud for no reason" he says in French with a loud sigh.

I mean he really is a fool if he falls for that light provocation. If he is really next in line to inherit the mafia then I only wonder where that will get them.

"You're not my older brother though" I tilt my head and look at him as if talking to a five year old. I don't even treat Max like that.

Silence befalls the room again.

"What do you mean? Of course he is" Michael says and breaks the silence but I shake my head.

"My name isn't in your family register so I don't see how that can make us family" I say and take another bite of my food.

"Yes you are. Why wouldn't you be?" Sebastian asks in a surprised voice but I just shrug.

I'm not sure if they thought I wouldn't figure it out. I found out a couple of years ago that they erased me from their family. To them I never existed.

After that uproar we all eat in silence, occasionally something asks a question which turns out to be annoying so Henry answers.

I don't think any of us actually properly digested the food.

After dinner we move to the living room and I inform them that I'm going to take a look around the house.

"I can show you" Liam volunteers.

I look him up and down before replying "I know my way around" I say and leave with Max who wanted to come with me and I didn't refuse because I need someone to be on lookout.

I first go through the room that I remember but don't find anything much and then I move to the main office which is Sebastian's office.

I let Max be on the lookout for me while I go through the computer and start downloading everything. While it downloads I look through the drawers and then a few seconds later Max knocks on the door to give me the signal that someone is coming.

I look at the downloading files and see it has only downloaded 89% but I don't panic. I arrange everything as it was or as I saw it and move from the table before Elijah walks in.

"What are you doing here?" He asks while looking around and I see Max behind him shrugging his shoulders.

"Just looking around" I reply.

"This isn't somewhere you can enter" he says

Well you should have locked the door if it was off limits' is what I want to say but instead I pick up one of the framed pictures and point at it.

"I see I'm not in any of these" I say and point to all the other photos that centers around Ava.

He looks at me with a frown and for a moment I think he will resort to yelling at me for changing the subject but instead he says

"We thought you were dead Eureka"

I nod "you guys did send me there to die so I don't know what you where expecting"

He opens his mouth to reply but then his phone starts ringing and I couldn't be any more happier to be done with this conversation.

He goes out and I immediately rush to retrieve the drive I was using to download the files and fix anything I messed up while in there before going out.

"Did you get it" Max asks the moment he sees me .

I chuckle "Yes I did, good job"

Back to the living room I notice my parents and Henry fighting with the smiths and wonder what is going on since everyone has their guns drawn.

"What happened?" I ask

"They said something about going to court and charging us with kidnapping" Henry replies in an angry voice.

Surprised, I look at the smiths wondering if they realize that i am no longer a child but a legal adult.

"No one is charging anyone with kidnapping. And stay out of my live. If you have a bone to pick, then come find me" I say and with that we walk out of the smith mansion without the slightest look back.

Her family 🤮
