Axton had decided that he was going to take me to his Uncle's house. I texted my mom to let her know. Now I am sitting in his car, as he drives, praying he isn't a serial killer or rapist...

"Are you hungry?" He asks quietly.

"Not really." I say, turning to look at him.

He tosses me a sad smile before facing the road again.

~•^•~

"We're here." Axton calls, placing a hand on my leg.

I open my eyes, forcing them to adjust. In front of me is a huge metal gate that is slowly being opened. Behind it is a mansion, it's painted cream with blue trim. The front door is double door, there is a huge balcony covering half of the second floor on the front of the house. A large garage is sitting next to the house, but not attached. When we pull up two men come jogging out. One comes around to my door and opens it, helping me out. The other goes straight to the trunk.

"Take all the suitcases to my room please." Axton tells the man at the trunk.

"Welcome back, Master Axton." The man, who I am assuming is the Butler says.

My jaw falls open slightly. Axton nods at the man. "Thanks, Boris." Axton puts an arm around my waist.

"Who is this?" Boris asks, a mischievous glint in his eye.

Axton rolls his eyes. "Her name is Fallon." Boris nods at me, then starts up the stairs. Axton follows the man tugging me along.

When we enter the house, I gasp a tiny bit. The foyer alone is huge! There are two staircases on either side of the room, curving up and meeting in the middle, hallways running off them. A door way is just under the stairs. Another door stands to my right and a hallway to my left.

Axton leads me through the doors under the stairs. Pass it is a large living room and more hallways running left and right. Couches sit in the living along with a coffee table in between them. A fireplace sat on the right side, pictures on the mantel and above on the wall. On the left side is a TV and gaming system, along with a small book case of movies.

"Aunt Kaid! I'm home!" Axton yells.

We wait a minute before we hear a squeal. "Byron! Axton's home!" Axton chuckles softly beside me before guiding me to a couch. We sit down as we wait for Axton's Aunt.

A few minutes later we hear a pair of running footsteps coming from the left hallway. Axton stands up just as a women shorter than me comes running from the hallway. She's wearing a yellow sundress and has dark, dark brown hair that seems to naturally fall in ringlets. She throws herself at Axton, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

"I'm so glad you made it home safely. What took so long? Your flight landed two hours ago." She says pulling back and looking over him, as if looking for injuries.

A man walks into the room just then and makes his way to Axton, slapping his back. "Good to have you back, son." My jaw drops as I assess the man.

"Oh," Axton's aunt says. "Who's this?" I snap my mouth closed, I can feel my cheeks turn pink slightly.

Axton turns and grabs my hand, pulling me up to stand next to him. He wraps an arm around my waist.

"This," Axton smirks at me, "is Fallon Bellerose."

"Hi, Fallon, I'm Kaidence Huxley, Axton's aunt. And this is my husband Byron." Kaidence wraps her arm around Byron. "But you can call me Kaid, dear."

I smile in a small greeting, my mind was busy reeling, Byron Huxley is Axton's uncle... The Byron Huxley!

"I'm sure you two are hungry, why don't I go make some lunch, hm?" Kaid asks.

Axton nods at her as Byron kisses her temple. "You do that sweetheart." Kaidence grins and then goes to the hallways and turns right.

Byron sits on the opposite sofa than the one I was just sitting on. "Have a seat." Axton sighs but takes a seat, pulling me down to sit next to him. I almost fall on his lap, but move just in time to not. I cast a glare at Axton, but he just smirks.

"So," Byron claps his hands and leans forward. Axton drops an arm behind my head relaxes into the couch, causing me to do the same, which resulted in me leaning against him slightly. But I can't care because I am exhausted. "Why does she look like she's been crying, Axton?"

I shift, looking down at the floor. "Because she has been." Axton replies, playing with my hair.

"Why? What did you do?" Byron demands.

"I didn't do anything!" Axton snaps defensively. "She's just had a few family things happen today, took a toll out of her."

I press my lips together, not liking that they are talking about me like I'm not sitting here. I watched as Byron leaned back into the couch. He finally looks at me. "Sweetie, the kitchen is down that hallway, all the way down. If you can't find it, call out Kaid's name, she'll come get ya."

I nod, glancing at Axton. He gives me a tight smile before letting go of my hair. I stand up and make my way to the hallway that Byron told me to go down. I begin down the hall before thinking about why he wanted me to leave. I stop and move back a little.

"Who is she?" Byron's voice.

"A girl I met on the plane." Axton replies.

"So, you're telling me that you have no idea who she is?"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you."

"What took you so long to get home?"

Axton sighs loudly. "She needed to go to the hospital. Her dad had died."

There wasn't a reply for a while. "Son,-"

"Her father had cancer!" Axton practically yells.

"Lower your voice." Byron snaps.

"Her father died of cancer. She was going to take a cab. He died not long before we landed. I couldn't let her go on her own. Not after mom died. The flashbacks were to violent."

"You know nothing of this girl, Axton!"

"I know that she's suffering because she just lost her father. What was I supposed to do? She had to be carried out into the lobby because she was having such a panic attack. Does that sound familiar? Cause it does to me!" Axton yells.

Byron sighs. "Axton.. Get to know her at least. Keep her from going through what you did after your mother died."
I turn and begin down the hall, since the conversation seems to be ending. "I will." I hear before taking off ddoen the hall so I'm not caught.
