Arriving at the hospital I got out and went to the hospital room where we were staying the past couple of days.
As I was about to knock I heard little giggles making me smile.
"Oh, stop you love birds, and come eat your food." A little masculine voice said and with that my smile slowly dropped. I guess her boyfriend is here.
"E! you know we see each other as br-" I knocked on the door after thinking I heard enough and went in when I heard a faint, "come in."
Inside the room I saw Ethan feeding the babies and Bella standing next to Grayson.
"Hey um, I got you some clothes. I figured you wouldn't have any sense...you know." I said handing her the bag of clothes and trying to avoid eye contact.
"Oh, thank you so much! You didn't have to do that!" She said taking it.
"I'm going to go get ready. Gray, can you watch the twins, I don't trust that idiot." She said laughing, making me smile.
Grayson started laughing and said, "yes, ma'am," and kissed her cheek. She giggled and pushed him away.
"And you say you guys aren't dating" Ethan mumbled under his breath behind me.
Bella rolled her eyes and said, "I swear I'll kill you in your sleep if you don't stop." pointing her finger in his face.
"Okay, okay. Chill woman," he said putting his hands in the air. "Good boy," She said while messing up his hair and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
It was good seeing that side of her. The funny, happy, joyful side.
I sat in a chair next to the bed and pulled out my phone.
After a while someone said, "so, Nick, right?" I looked up seeing Grayson looking at me with his eyes squinted.
"Yea, Grayson?"
"You got that right." He responded.
"What do you want with my Blue?" He said giving me a glare I could die right there right then.
"Your...Blue?" I asked confused as fuck. That is until I remembered when they came to visit Bella last night he called her blue. Which I don't understand why.
"I'm sorry but I really don't know what you mean."
"Don't act like you don't know-" he answered before Ethan cut him off,
"Go easy on him, bro. We both want what's best for Bird, but she'll kill you if she finds out you're doing this then kill me after for not stopping you." He said from across the room on the bed with the girls.
"That's true!" We heard from behind us, as I turned around my heart melted and I felt my jaw drop. How could she pull off a hoodie like that?
"I promise I didn't do anything!" Ethan said putting his hands up.
"I know, now let's go, please I'm sick of the hospital." She said.
"Yea, let's go!"
She carried the twins in her arms and kissed their heads saying, "I love you so much, even when you poop all the time, only want to eat and won't let me sleep at night." Making me laugh and my heart to melt at it.
After we made our way to the car Bella got a call.
"Hello?" She said. "Yes, thank you." She continued. "Oh, that's amazing! Thank you so much!" She finished and hung up.
"Who was that?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me.
"Officer Glenn, he wanted to say that the twins' room survived the fire!"
"Oh that's awesome!" I told her. "Do you want me to go there so you could get their stuff?"
"That would be great, thank you!" She said with a smile but you can tell something was wrong.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yea, I'm fine. I'm gonna call the twins to tell them." She answered back.
*Bella's P.O.V*
After I called the twins telling them where we're going and for them to wait on us, I had to convince them that I'll be fine.
We arrived at the house and minutes later Ethan and Grayson arrived too.
They got out of the car and headed to Nick's Jeep.
"Hey, blue. And Shane." Gray said. I stifled a giggle as he said. I'm not going to even correct him, I find it quite funny.
"Hey," I faked a smile looking at the front yard where a sit of swings were. Gray was too focused on getting the girls out of the car to notice and I was thankful for that.
But to my luck Ethan noticed, "birdy, you okay?" He asked. of course he'd notice.
"Yea, I'm alright." I lied. Take care of the girls please." He nodded. "Let's do this." Taking a deep breath and stepped forward glancing at Nick then at the twins and finally the house.
"You don't have to do this, you know?" Nick whispered in my ear, "I can get them with the guys."
"It's okay. I want to do this." Taking another deep breath and walked to the house.
Once we got to the front door a wave of sadness hit me, it was completely burnt and the door handle was broken from the time Nick kicked the door open to save my sisters, I pushed it open and walked inside.
I looked around the house feeling my eyes fill with tears. I went to where my room was, the once light blue door is now black.
I went in and looked around, all the pictures inside the frames were burnt to dust, the white walls were now black and the nightstands are completely ruined.
I walked to my bed and sat down on it, the tears flowing down my face, looking at the ground I saw a photo of my dad and I at my first hockey game. I picked it up and started crying even more.
My dad was a famous hockey player. He used to take me to his games all the time when I turned four. I was completely obsessed with hockey and I won a lot of medals competing, I lost interest in it when my dad died almost a year ago though. He was the one who was most supportive and he was so caring and loving.
I traced my finger on my dad's face then took the picture out of the broken frame, hiding it in the hoodie's pocket.
"You okay?" I turned around and looked up, seeing Nick leaning against the door frame with his hands folded against his chest.
"Yes, I'm great!" I said turning around again and wiping the tears from my face. "Did you find the room?"
"Yea, and I packed all the stuff that wasn't damaged in their closet."
"Okay, I just need to pack a little more things and see if I have any clothes left. Can you please wait in the car? I need some time."
He nodded and asked, "are you going to be okay alone?" I nodded, a few seconds later he came closer, kissing my cheek and leaving the house.
After I packed some necessities for the twins, like bottles and diapers. I found some of my clean laundry in the bathroom so I packed those and was about to leave when I remembered the stack of money my dad used to hide in case of an emergency for me.
He knew that my mom wouldn't take care of me when he left for a long period of time for his games. My mom never knew about it, my dad and I made sure of that.
I went to the cabinet and opened it. I took the hammer from the side and tried to remove the piece of wood from the back of the cabinet to reveal the safe the money are hidden in. After I successfully did, I punched in the code and it opened. I took the money and the emergency credit card and closed it again. That should be enough for at least nine months.
I got out of the house heading to the boys that were leaning against the car talking to each other.
"Hey." Ethan said noticing me. "Hi" I said with a little smile.
"Are you okay?" I just nodded in response smiling.
"Why are you smiling?" Gray said with a laugh. I grinned and pulled out the picture showing him. He just smiled and nodded his head towards the car so we can head out. I got in Nick's car and buckled up. He got in after me and started the car smiling at me. I smiled back and looked at the backseat seeing my baby sisters sleeping peacefully and my smile only grew wider.
I turned back around and pulled the window down looking at the surroundings one more time before sighing and laying my head against the seat.
That's the beginning of a new start.
