Chapter 11 - Moving On

Angelo's POV

"Before you say you don't want to talk, I'm not here to get you to; I just want you to listen to me okay. I am 27 years old Keane, I am 4 years older than you and I can tell you that in my lifetime I have never experienced the love you that you have for Noah, Arii and Tayte. I fully understand that you think it's your responsibility to do everything in your right mind to make sure your family is safe, I'd do exactly the same. But Keane, I am with you okay, I'm with you no matter what and even if you think you don't need me or any of us. We are with you. Stop acting as if you're the only person on this planet that is able to take responsibility. I won't speak to you about this again; I know you're probably sick and tired of people having a rant at you. Just know that even though I'm not part of your family. I am here for you all" I went to get up and he put his hand on my arm,

"You are family, thank you" I nodded and then left.

"I love you" Noah told me once I'd sat back next to him, "Like I seriously do" I chuckled,

"I love you too kiddo"

Keane's POV

We arrived in Dubai National Airport in good time and after going through passport control, customs, security and all the other processes you have to go through these days.

"Where do we go from here?" Noah asked,

"We get into a taxi and go to the address we were given" I answered,

"What happens if it's a trick?"

"Mum and Dad left the addresses, it isn't a trick. It's genuine and that's what we're going to do"

"How do you call a taxi in Dubai?" Noah asked,

"You're not being serious"

"Um...yes I am"

"He's messing with me right?"

"No he isn't"

"I really do worry about you sometimes" he smiled,

"Pick a non-creepy driver"

"Shut up," he stuck his tongue out at me and I just returned with a grin.

We were bundled into a taxi on our way to Downtown Burj, to the Armani hotel and apartments, to find the Nix's.

"It looks rich" Noah said, I laughed,

"It kind of looks deserted; you have the extravagant and then nothing. That's kind of sad" Arii said,

"Wait until you see Brazil" Angelo inputted,

"You've been to Brazil!"

"Yes, I went for 3 months as a medical volunteer, I saw the rich country clubs next to the poor favelas, it's crazy"

"I think it's so wrong, if they have all that money then why can't they give the poor some" Arii said,

"Because the rich are so far up their own ass they don't give a shit about anything else" Noah answered,

"Bitter aren't you Noah, we're rich" I said,

"Yeah, but we're not like them and we'll never be like them"

"I bought you up right" I said, he smiled,

"You sure did"

"You're quiet Tayte" I then said,

"Just admiring a family conversation that isn't resulting in an argument"

"What are you getting at?" Arii questioned "We don't always argue"
