I wake up from my slumber due to my phone aggressively vibrating underneath my hand. I look around to see everyone sleeping on the couch. Well, except Luca. He managed to fall asleep on the coffee table which I couldn't help but find that adorable.

I accept the call and I'm greeted by breathing. "H-hello?" I ask a bit nervous. Don't call someone and then start breathing. If you ask me, that's a little creepy.

"Adalina?" The caller asks. I recognize the voice. It was the lady I spoke to early today.

"It's actually Arabella." I chuckle correcting her.

"No, it's Adalina. It was the name you were given before he hid you." She whispers.

"Who hid me?" I ask.

"Look, I can only tell you this once. When I do never call back here again." She explains leaving me to slightly shiver.

I nod only then realizing she can't even see me. "Yeah."

"You're real name, legally I'm guessing is Arabella Rossi, but before that, you were Adalina Rossi, but your father's last name is Muller which would actually make you Adalina Muller." She speaks.

"Your father is my brother which would make you my niece and the lady you saw with me is your grandma. Look I don't know how to break it to you but someone killed your father. The person was your mother's husband."

"Wait, what? How do I know this isn't complete bullshit?" I question.

"You had this old raggedy teddy bear I gave you. Also, you have a tiny mark you got from riding a bike on your knee." She proves. So this lady was my auntie and my parents were dead. Despite not ever knowing them I was still a bit sad.

"Don't be sad." She speaks as if she just read my mind. "Your mother was a horrible person and she never loved you and your dad never even got to meet you."

Taking a deep sigh, I cover my eyes with my free hand as if I didn't want her to see me cry. I don't have parents anymore. My mother never loved me and my dad didn't get to meet me. "If I ever have to call you I guess you can call me Auntie Lynn."

That seemed to force a small smile onto my face. "Thank you." I whisper. "Do I have any cousins?"

"No. After Fynn died I lost hope in a lot of things and decided to dedicate everything to my mom; your grandma." I smile at the fact I have at least a little bit of family left. It's a shame I don't know anything about my mom's side and I actually don't want to.

"Thank you," I pause remembering I can call her Auntie now. "Auntie Lynn."

"Actually, don't call me that." She snaps harshly. Nevermind. "Look I have to go. I hope I helped you out enough. Bye."

And with that she cut the call. I soak in everything she told me. "Who were you talking to?" A groggy voice asks me, causing me to drop my phone.

*-*-*

Damn at least she has family alive. Sorry, this update was so many hours late. My parents are going to take me to the hospital soon because they're worried. Don't worry guys! I'm 92% sure it ain't COVID-19.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE FAMILY MEMBER?
