Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 35

20 mins later I had Greta and Jakes remedies to get better and of course had to talk with Greta telling her what was knew and how I was liking school and the classes I had decided on. She had informed me that she would be traveling for a couple of weeks and was even thinking on stopping through London on her way back home. “I’m going to go and check out that gym of yours and my kids have heard some great things about it too, so they wanted me to come on out and see it when they go. I’m so proud of you darling girl, your mother also wants me to check out the new country house plus told me that you are doing a remodel on the old family home which will start in a week or so. I can’t wait to see it once it’s all finished. The kids of course want us staying through the holiday but we will see how it all goes of course and who knows we might just see one another for the holidays, but I better let you go so you can get going to school angel. Have a great day and keep in touch ok, we sure miss you around here including the Beckerman’s who also have informed me that Asher is really in love with Cate and is planning on popping the question either at Thanksgiving or Christmas just has not decided on which one. I’d say it wouldn’t be possible after only a summer but ha that’s how I met Ronnie and it only took 2 dates and I knew we were meant to be together” Greta was giving me all the deets about everyone with a deep genuine laugh touching me to my heart and soul.

We left the house a little after 7am with my first class being at 8am sharp and now was being taken to school as though I was 5 years old and now would have to have a team watching me from even inside the class. “Can we just like do our best to keep it low key please and don’t hover over me, I know you are all worried and really I can handle it and really have no idea why I’m even this involved…” “Damn it you know why…. Now just let them do their damn job… don’t fight or argue and if you don’t make a scene..” “Listen to your grandmothers we know how hard it’s going to be, and just be careful like your mother said too. You are going to have a very long week so just be prepared ok. Make sure you get your sleep and training in which are two in one and remember we are always here whenever you need us” Amelia and Mia had now started making me giggle out loud making me look like a crazy person to everyone else. Now I was even more confused though since I was now dealing with not just Violina, but now had a Detective that had something similar to me and wasn’t sure exactly what she picked up on nor did my grandparents who seemed now just as concerned. I did my best not to over think it as the team swept through the first class and introduced themselves to the professor who was fine with them being there but were asked to stay out of the way and try not to cause a scene.

By lunch time I was exhausted after meeting up with Logan, Kelly, Shanahan, Abella, Serenity, and Xander who were all still pretty shaken up which made me have to listen to pretty much the same thing I already heard myself. “Just make sure to stay out of it since the more you ask questions the more dangerous it could be for you all… I’m only saying that because with cases like this and the way she died and since they still have no idea what happened or who caused it to happen, they are basically grasping at straws. So please for the love of all mankind just do what you can to support her family, which reminds me are they still in town because I’ve yet to be called by them or be called by the police about them.” I asked wanting to know if they were still in town since it all seemed to boil down to them and what might have happened to her. “Well they are still here and said they’d be stopping by here sometime today to hopefully meet you so I’m assuming it’s just a matter of time” Abella informed me as she seemed to be trying to figure me out and what I might be thinking.

As though it were fate or timing whatever you want to call it but not 5 mins after Abella said that Violina’s family would be stopping by I was greeted by a group of people coming along with my team which were complete strangers to me. “Oh, well see there you go here they come actually and with your security team that seems to all be along for the ride” “Yea what the hell is that all about…” Xander asked cutting Abella off from her thoughts. “I’m well it’s a little complicated let’s just say I have very strict parents who go to the extreme and since I now cover my own bills, school, and team I umm ya I still follow their rules just with my money instead of theirs” I could not help but laugh since it all sounded so stupid. My friends all found it funny too which helped as the team approached with Violina’s family and I was introduced to her mother Zoe and father Cole who seemed to be very quiet but spoke volumes and seemed like they might know exactly what happened or even who killed their daughter. “Pleasure meeting you both… I’d say I’ve heard things about you but to be honest Vi never talked about home much was always focused on school” I try and smile the best I can even though I was exhausted and their reactions didn’t surprise me one bit as they became a little hostile and even up tight. Bailey was ready to jump in when Cole got a little too close for his liking but stayed back when I raised my hand to stop him.

After a good 15 mins going back and forth with Mr. Campbell I finally had to get above his crazy and get crazy of my own just for him to back up. “MR CAMPBELL…. BACK THE FUCK UP BEFORE I SHOW YOU JUST WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO BY FLATTENING YOU ON YOUR FUCKING ASS..I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOUR LITTLE THREATS AND THE OTHER MEN WITH YOU WHOEVER THEY MIGHTH BE, BUT ONE THING I’VE COME TO REALIZE IS THAT WHEN A CHILD MOVES THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM HER FAMILY THERE IS A GOOD REASON FOR IT…SO MAYBE YOU NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOURSELF AND THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN YOUR DAUGHTERS LIFE BEFORE SHE GOT HERE TO OXFORD. BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME AND MYSELF INCLUDED, WE’RE NOT INVOLVED IN YOUR DAUGHTERS HORRIBLE DEATH!” I yelled in his face and he was backing right down. The other 3 men with him stepped up and looked like they could go a few rounds. “I’m sorry for my father, but he just wants answers just like the rest of us… I’m Riley the oldest of the sons and of course Vi was our baby sister being the youngest of us all by well 3 years from my baby brother Gabe at 23, then there is Cameron 26, and finally Elijah 29. I’m the oldest at 32 years old” he introduced himself being calm for now.

My friends had backed way up when asked to by my security team just in case anything got physical and my team of course tried their best to intervene, but once they saw that things were not going to happen they got in their corners and watched other area’s while one just focused on me. “Well Riley… I suggest that you all stay on top of the police to find the killer and I was serious about checking out anyone she might have been on the outs with back home. If you need any assistance, I will do my best to help you all the best I can, but in my family and my connections it does not come cheap just a fore warning. I don’t even get a discount and I know all the people since I was a baby so that should tell you just how serious I am and how many people I have backing me in my corners. Now if you’d all excuse me I’m going to be late for my next class if I do not head to it now” I smiled and reached out to shake all their hands. Riley smiled and shook my hand again and I apologized for the crazy that had exploded which just made him smile. “Trust me don’t apologize because that’s the first time anyone in their right mind has ever spoken to my father that way.. as for your help if it’s needed I’ll let you know since there is great resources we Campbell’s have and you were not wrong in the reason why my sister wanted to get far away from not just Canada but her family” he had whispered the last part in my ear and I wasn’t exactly sure if it were a threat or just him being friendly.
