"Our journey is full of drama, confusion, and blood, but we'll make it out of it alive..." - Rosabella Jones, The Exhausting Journey.
Rosabella Jones, a rich 15-year-old girl, didn't know she had a little brother until she discovered a birth certif...
Austin went out of the class and ran to see his brother Adam , but he stopped when he saw him holding the school newspaper .
Austin : Adam , let me... Adam : shut up , just save it for dad . He walked away , leaving Austin through shock , worry and confusion .
He was worried , mostly from his dad's reaction , and if Adam told him , he'll be in a huge trouble . As he was thinking , he saw Rosabella coming from a distance , then he started to run .
At the end of the school day :
Rosabella stood in front of the car , she opened the car door and entered the car to see Griff with his face against the window , he noticed her and hugged her whispering "I miss you"
She hugged him back , after a minute they let go , Griff glanced at her . Rosabella : Hey , I missed you a lot . Griff : I missed you more , how was school ?
Rosabella : It..wasn't that great . Griff : like how ? Rosabella : Ravenna , Angela's friend , published an article about Cedar. Griff : ..Why would she do that ?
Rosabella : I don't know , maybe she wants to get revenge for Angela . Griff sighed as a sign of upset , Rosabella glanced at him . Rosabella : Griff , What's going on ? Griff : ..it's nothing
Rosabella : come on , you can tell me anything Griff : If I told you , you'll get upset from me . Rosabella : I promise not . Griff : ok *sighing* I'm kind of jealous because you suddenly got interested in Cedar , and you're always thinking about him .
Rosabella : *annoyed* so ? Griff : I just thought you're not that interested in me anymore . Rosabella : Griff , I'll always love you no matter what , you don't have to be jealous , you'll always be my cute little brother .
Griff : Thank you , you make me feel better . Rosabella : you're welcome . They hugged each other again , then they let go , suddenly Griff remembered something .
Griff : oh , I talked to Zuri today . Rosabella : How is she ? Griff : she's doing great , but I'm worried that she'll break up with me because of distance , because , you know , It's kind of hard
Rosabella : Griff , if both of you have faith in this relationship , you can always continue . Griff : Why are you so wise today ? Rosabella : ..so I wasn't wise yesterday ?
They both chuckled , then Gabriel came into the car , after they said hi , he drove and they went back home .
When they entered their house , they found everyone they know , their whole family was there , Aunt Ellen , Aunt Mariana , Uncle Theodore , etc.. and most of their cousins .
Rosabella : What's going on ? Aunt Mariana : sit down , both of you , we're here to talk with you .
They sat down , and Gillian , their grandma , started to talk : Gillian : well , you know , We made a family decision , and we decided to send all of the family girls to a boarding school in England .
Rosabella : ehm , excuse me ? Do you all think we're dolls or something ? Abandon who you guys want ? And send all the family girls to a boarding school ? In England ? Do you even care about us ?
Mariana : of course we do , Rosabella , but we just want you to a have a better life . Danielle : It's not about that , aunt Mariana , if you actually care , you've known how to educate us well , we don't need a boarding school , we're doing so well here .
Madeline : Danielle , honey , you're missing the point , It would be great for your future development , and for your education . Arena : mum , stop explaining yourselves , It was never about education , You just can't handle having too many kids in the family .
Ellen : No , That's not true . Rosabella : yes , It's true . Ellen : No , It's not true . Rosabella : then how do you explain Griff ? And Cedar ? How do you explain all that ?
Griff : I-I just..have..to go.. Rosabella : No , you stay right here ! Diana : just calm down , It's just a boarding school . Darcy : Just a boarding school ? You all aren't losing anything , It's us , leaving our friends is hard enough , but you have to come up and send us to a boarding school , because you want space in every house you own .
David : can you all stop that ? You're going tomorrow , Come on , Go to your rooms . Danielle : you know what we'll remember after going there ? Rosabella : that all of you didn't care about us .
Then all the girls left , followed by everyone else .
The next day :
The family woke up , Rosabella was packing her bag when she saw Griff going into her room . Griff : Hey. Rosabella : Hey..listen.. Griff : so you're just let that happen ?
Rosabella : and what should I do ? Griff : you should have at least said something Rosabella : oh , and what did I do yesterday ? Griff : I mean..don't you have your own opinion in this house ?
Rosabella: It's my word against the whole family's word , Do you really think I can change their mind ? Griff : I.. Rosabella : then stop it , It's not my decision .
She held her back and got out of the room . Griff : Rosabella wait !
He ran after her , but she has already got out of the house , and stood in front of the car with the rest of her female cousins so he stopped .
Across the road , Parker stood in his window watching the car , wondering what was going on. He went downstairs and out of his house , walking to Rosabella's car .
Parker : Bella ? Where are you going ? Rosabella : I'm going to a boarding school in England . Parker : What ? Why didn't you tell me ? Rosabella : I texted you yesterday and you didn't answer me .
Parker checked his phone to find some texts from Rosabella .
