Laura's POV
I stood in front of my siblings who were eyeing me hard. It was like they were looking right down into my soul it was honestly one of the most terrifying things they have ever done to me. Vanessa was looking through my computer and looking at all the files I hacked. They were all staring at me as if i had done something wrong. Even Luna was on their side. She sat on the other side of the room with Rydel, who was avoiding any possible eye contact with me.
"There are months worth of hacking on this Mac Book," Vanessa said looking up at me, "What the hell have you been doing with it?"
"I told you! I was trying to hack them back!" I basically yelled at them.
Riley looked taken back but slightly amused. God, he can be so annoying sometimes.
"Yeah, but with all this information you could have done so much" Riker said looking at the computer as Vanessa scrolled through it.
"Are you guys freakin kidding me?! Something like wh-"
"Were you even planning on tell us?" Rocky butted in.
"You act like I'm on the other side. Secretly telling them everything were doing! Why would I do that? You think I like seeing you guys hurt? We almost died today! Are you kidding me?" I yelled at them, "I was shot in the leg!"
"Yo'ure good actress, Laura." Maia muttered looking at her phone.
"Why are you guys so caught up on this?!" I asked.
"Laura this is so dangerous what you're doing. Let alone it could get you arrested-" Vanessa was cut off.
"You didn't have a problem hacking when it came to mom and dads wedding. You honestly thought I forgot about that? That was one of the stupid things we have ever done in our entire lives! We can't get any stupider after that! We hacked companies! We hacked dads phone. We went into their privacy to do something very self centered and pushy! You made me hack innocent people who didn't deserve that! And the time I do it to possibly save our lives I get accused of being on the other side?!" I say basically pouring my heart out.
They all just looked at me. Vanessa stopped scrolling through the my computer and just looked at me. They all did. Some guilty, some shocked and others slightly ticked off.
"While I'm the bad guy, Riker, Nessa, get a load of this: Ellington and Rydel are dating. Shocker. I know." I said instantly regretting it after it came out.
All attention was then focused on El and Delly. I walked away from the lounge area and to the door. I grabbed my jacket and through on myself. I twisted the door and swung the door open. I walked out of the house and slammed the door.
I pulled the car keys out of my pocket and got in the car I put them in the ignition and drove away. I looked into my rear mirror and saw them all looking at through the window.
I was driving for a while but stopped. I needed a break from life and the mess it has put me into so far. I got out my car and sat on the edge of the cliff right next to my car.
20 minute drop. If you were to ever jump you'd probably have to mopped up of the floor, that's if you didn't hit anything on the way down that could possibly kill you.
I wasn't far away from the lodge. It was in plain sight at the top of the snowy mountain. One of the places I use to be at my best is now one of the places I'm at my worst.
I instantly felt a buzzing. Like the while mountain was shaking. I frantically looked around for a yeti about to eat me. But instead saw my phone ringing on the rock next to me. I picked up my phone which was cold to the touch.
I looked at my messages and shivers instantly went up my spine.
Unknown
You already seem not to be trusted. Wanna join our little squad? It's an offer you can't refuse. I mean, you know everything. I know you know. So let's make this easier on both of us shall we?
I stared at the text. Reading every word over and over again. Like a child learning to read for the first time. I quickly texted back and ran my hand through my hair. I sighed and stood up. I didn't wanna sit anymore. I wanna go somewhere. Look around. See things I've never seen before.
I walked to the car and slam the door shut. I put the keys in the ignition and drove off. I kept glancing down at my phone. I rolled my eyes and threw my phone in the back. Not even realizing Vanessa was calling me.

Riker's POV
"You're dating!? That's incest you know!" I said folding my arms and eyeing Ratliff like a hawk, "Okay your not blood related- but you know what I mean!"
"Laura is clearly not okay, she could have been trying to turn us on El and Del so she wouldn't be in the only one in trouble!" Maia said.
"Laura was upset, not high. Okay? She knew exactly what she was talking about!" I said pacing around the room.
"No she didn't, she said that out of pure anger. They're so close it almost seems like their dating," Rocky said, "Right?"
"R-right.." Rydel and Ellington stuttered.
"I tried calling, Laura she's not answering." Vanessa said walking back into the room and setting her phone on the table.
She grabbed back up Laura's computer and hooked it up to the TV. We were looking through all the hacking she had done. But none of adds up.
"They seem like none of them relate at all!" Ross said sitting on the floor.
"Only someone like Laura would be able to understand something this impossible." Riker said.
"But she did do a good job finding all this stuff." Vanessa said sitting next to me. A bit too close. But I never said I was complaining about it.
"If only it made sense.." Ross muttered.
"Look, there is no point in looking. Plus, this is her private computer and we're just going through it like it's not big deal" Maia said plugging out the computer from the TV and walking away with it. Probably going to Laura's room.
"Bunch a hypocrites.." Luna muttered walking away.

Next Morning
Vanessa's POV
I walked down the stairs and down the hallway to the kitchen. First one up, this never happens so, I decided to take advantage of it. I turned on the TV to 80% in volume. And grabbed the blender from the top shelf. I changed the channel and turned on The Bachelor.
I opened up the fridge and pulled out: Coke, Dr. Pepper, Strawberries, Blueberries, Lemons, and sliced apple, a half of an banana, some milk, salt and 2 raw eggs.
I plugged in the blender and threw everything in. I know, it seems absolutely disgusting, but don't knock it till you try it. I know this seems like something you'd give someone as a punishment or as one of the crazy internet crazes. But no, this is something I drink on the regular. When no is around of course. They'd totally think I'm weird if they ever saw my drinking this stuff.
I pressed the blend button and walked over to the couch, I pulled a little blanket over me that was draped over the couch. I glanced at the time and snuggled into the couch
10:34 A.M.
I heard the door knob jiggle. I whipped my head around to see what was about to come through my door. The person obviously had a key because the lock twisted.
The door swung open and Laura appeared at the door. She didn't come home last night?
"Morning.." She said freezing as soon as she noticed me.
"Morning..Where were you?" I asked standing up to tend to my smoothie.
"I stayed at the local Ski Lodge. Didn't feel like coming home after yesterday. Sorry if I had you worried.." She said shutting the door and pushing the hair out of her face.
"No, I didn't know, you didn't come home until just now.." I said pouring my smoothie into a cup, I did I mention it was super awkward?
"I just gonna-"
"Laura, look I'm sorry. I know you were just trying to help. I shouldn't have gone off on you like that, I'm sorry okay?" I said cutting her off.
"Thanks, Ness. Water under the bridge.." She said smiling before walking away.
I stood there for a second and smiled. I furrowed my eyes and took a sip and then looked back up at Laura who was walking up the stairs to her room. That seemed awfully....fake? Water under the bridge? Is she low key holding a grudge?
Laura probably must have felt the heat from my eyes looking at her, because she turned around and looked at me, she smiled a genuine smile and said, "Ness, you okay?"
"I don't know, you okay?" I asked her.
"Um...Yeah?" She said truthfully and honestly confused.
"Never mind, Laur, Just my mind playing tricks on me again.." I say sipping my drink.
"'Again?' this happens often? Might wanna get that checked out." She joked before walking up the stairs.
It's not just me right? She seems totally..different right?
Hey Friends! ¡Amigos! Amici! Друзья. That last one was Russian, it probably looks like gibberish to you American and English People. How have you guys been? Good? Missed me? Well I'm back!
