Seeing my baby sister like that stabbed me in the heart. she cried for her mother and would do anything to see her for the last time.
We had been on the road for around 40 minutes now and still hadn't heard from Xander to see if he had finished doing what I asked him to do. Luella was deep asleep in the car seat Kendall had given as I had nothing for Luella yet.
I called Xander to see what he was doing
"What?" he picked up
"Did you do the papers yet?" I asked him
"Yea I'm going home now, there was literally like thirty papers to sign, I don't know where you got fourteen from" he scoffed "Look where the fuck you're going'" he suddenly screamed pressing on the car horn
"My bad thought it was fourteen," I replied smirking "Whatever, how long till you get home?" he asked me
I looked at the car GPS "Like a couple of hours or so. I still need to do a stop at the petrol station"
Xander sighed "Alright, bye" he ended the call
HER BROTHERS AND HER
I made a stop at the petrol station. I got out of the car and open the backseat door to see Luella still peacefully sleeping.
"Ella baby wake up" I whispered rubbing her arm.
Her eyes slowly opened as she started rubbing her eyes trying to wake herself up "w-what happened?" she said with her voice scratchy from all her crying
"Baby do you need to go toilet or anything? we still have 2 more hours in the car" I told her
She slowly "uh-huh, I need to go toilet" she looked down
"Okay come put your shoes on let's go," I said picking her shoes up from the car floor and handing them over to her. She put them on and grabbed onto my hand walking to the toilets
"Baby do you need any help going toilet or are you able to do it yourself?"
"Nope I'm fine mommy said I'm a big girl now," she said popping the 'P' and giving a slight smile
"Okay I'll be outside the door here," I said laughing at her antics standing right outside her stall
I looked at my phone and saw it was way past midnight, but we were close to the penthouse anyway
"I'm done" I didn't even notice her standing next to me smiling
I nodded and held her hand making sure she didn't leave my side "Are you hungry or thirsty?"
"Umm no," she said unsure
"Luella listen," I said lifting her small chin making her look at me "if you're hungry or thirsty tell me please don't hesitate okay?"
