"Who are you?"

"Demon to some. Angel to others."

Finally. I get to go home, we have just left the hospital and honestly the whole time Sean, Owen and Uncle were gone and I exited the bathroom the boys have been having secret conversations with each other and looking at me constantly. As if I was a glass doll that would break if touched. Frankly it was starting to piss me off so I decided to ignore majority of the boys the only people I would talk to would be Sean, Owen, Uncle, Kai and Cosmos. 

I think the guys are catching on to what I'm doing because after I asked Cosmos for my phone back I've been ignoring them, every time one of them would talk to me I would either grunt in reply or just pretend I didn't hear them. I can some of them are getting frustrated and honestly it's the greatest thing ever.

I follow Cosmos and Kai to the car they're getting into but I hear Uncles voice shout my name. I turn to him and see him coming towards me. "Hi Uncle, is everything okay?" I question, confused.

"Everything's fine pumpkin, I just wanted to ask if you would like to ride with me, I would like to get to know you better, because well we haven't really gotten around to it before you....uhhh....left. Don't worry it will be just you and me, I noticed the tension in the room when I came back and told North and Luke to get lost and catch a ride with one of the others." I think about it and then nod, following Uncle to his car.

"So what would you like to talk about or know exactly?" I question getting into the car after putting my bag into the backseat. That's how an hour long conversation went, him asking questions he had and me answering them we drove around half the time and then stopped and parked in front of a beach and continued talking.

"Do you have any other questions Uncle or have you run out for now?" I question him. "I think I'm done for now but if I ever have anymore can I ask them?" I nod and then add. "Only if the others aren't around." He nods and we both shake hands in agreement.

"I think it's time we head home maybe pick up some dinner for us on the way." I nod like crazy with a smile on my face, he chuckles and drives off to the closest pizza place, then heading home. I must have fallen asleep on the 45 minute journey back, because the next thing is I'm waking up slightly to hushed voices and someone carrying me. Uncle's scent hits my nose so I know it's him carrying me, his scent along with Luke's gets stronger making me believe I was carried into Uncle's. I'm put onto what feels like a couch I open my eyes a little bit.

Luke see's this and decides to voice really loudly. "Good morning sleepy head." This wakes me up fully and disorientated, I sit up quickly making a dizzy spell hit me. "Whoa slow down a bit their Aella." Luke moves forward a bit concern adorning his features.

"What happened? How did I get here?" The last thing I remember was being in Uncle's car heading back here, he must have carried me in. I look around for him but can't spot him, I sigh I'll find him later and thank him.

"Well now that your awake come get some food." Gabriel's voice comes to my ears, he comes to stand in front of me and holds out his hand, not feeling confident to stand straight without falling over I grab it letting him pull me up, I let him go and walk forward but stumble a bit till Gabe's arms come around me and catch me he continues to hold me whilst we walk to the kitchen. 

Upon entering everyone turns to look at us all have concern on their faces, Sean steps forward. "What's wrong? What hurts?" I stay silent then realize he is questioning me, "Oh nothing's wrong, I just was a bit disorientated whilst walking and nearly fell over before Gabriel caught me. I woke up like maybe 5 minutes ago and I normally need more time to function before moving around." He nods and relief covers his features.

"Well don't just stand there come get some food kiddo, then you can go back to sleep. Are you going to head back to your house tonight kiddo?" Uncle's voice questions. "Uhm I'm not sure right now Uncle but will tell you when I figure it out, if I do decide to stay here would that be alright?" He nods happily.

"Your always welcome kiddo, don't even question it." I smile and start to walk but stumble again to the food, multiple arms catch me again. Sean is on my left and Gabe is on my right both holding my arms they lead me slowly to a seat at the table and let me sit down.

"Thank you." I say to them they smile and nod and sit down as well at different parts of the table. Food is put in front of me by Uncle, I dig into the food along with everyone else. Everyone finishes after 30 minutes. I stand up knowing I will be able to now and take my dish to the kitchen to clean it. After cleaning it I walk back out and go up to Uncle.

"May I talk to you privately in the back yard, please Uncle." I rub my arm whilst waiting for his reply. "Sure kiddo. Boys stay here and I mean it." Uncle has a stern look on his face before we walk out to the back yard. "So what's up kiddo?" 

"Would you uhh... fuck how do I start this, or even say it." I grip my hair in frustration. Concern crosses Uncle's face. "Whats wrong? Start from the beginning, I find that easier." I nod taking a deep breath.

"Firstly I would like to thank you for adopting me, for giving me a place to now call home, for being a great person and so much more. Second thing is if I ever need a hug or to cry can I come to you," He smiles whilst nodding, "Now the difficult bit. I um...uh...would you mind if I uhh called you dad instead of Uncle. It's totally fine if you don't want me to but it's just I see you as more of a dad then an Uncle and I don't really remember my father all that much and uhh yea, just ignore the last thing." I sigh sadly and start to walk further into the back yard, his face sad the answer for me and that alone was enough to break my heart. Tears start to form, I sniffle a bit and keep walking into the night. 

"Hey where you going? Do you want to know my answer kiddo, you didn't give me a chance to answer ya." Uncle calls out, I stop and wait for him to continue. "I have never had kids before as you can tell, but I think of you as my daughter after everything since you've been here so I think it's only fair if you get to call me dad whilst I call you my daughter what do you say." He finished talking and I had already turned around and started running at him, I could see the guys at the back door with confusion, they must not have heard our talk thankfully.

North opens the door seeing me running full speed at dad he quickly moves in front of dad in a protective stance, I'm getting closer and they both see this and dad pushes North out of the way and stands in a different stance to stop himself falling from the force that I will hit him with. I finally make it to him and wrap my arms around him and start to cry into his shoulder. Happy tears this time.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I sob into his shoulder, he hugs me back and rubs my shoulder. "Shh your welcome kiddo. Lets go inside okay and watch a movie or something." I nod and pull away and wipe my tears away and laugh lightly and smile at my new dad, he smiles back and we walk inside, everyone moves out the doorway when we enter, we head to the couch and go to Netflix to put a movie on.
