The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 86~

Kristina's POV
The next day, I woke up and went downstairs around 10:00 am. When I came downstairs, I met the others in the living room.

"Joanna, I need to talk to you", I said.

"Go ahead", she said.

"The time we were in Boston.. I talked to your brother, and he told me something", I began.

"And..? What did he tell you?", Joanna asked.

"I- never mind.. I shouldn't tell you", I said as I turned around to go upstairs.

But Joanna blocked the way in front of me.

"Please.. tell me", she said.

"Fine.. he told me that when you were little, he didn't want to take care of you and your sister.. he really didn't want to take care of you", I told her.

"Wait.. what? Are you serious?", she asked.

"I am.. I'm sorry", I said.

"That was five months ago! You should have told me!", she raised her voice.

"I didn't want you to do something to him.. I got a very good relationship with him.. he was a good person", I told her.

Joanna slapped me.

"You bitch", she said as she went to get her jacket and her car keys.

"I'm gonna talk to him", she said.

"What? No, don't do it", I said.

"Too late.. and you're gonna come with me", she demanded.

We went to Henry's house, but he didn't open. We could see him in the window, but then he just disappeared. Joanna snapped, opened the door and walked very fast into the house.

"What are you doing here?", Henry asked.

"What I'm doing here? I'm your sister, and you abounded me!", Joanna yelled.

"What are you talking about?", he asked.

"Don't play dumb, I know you didn't want Erica and me in the house when mom and dad died", she said.

"Can you be quiet? My wife and kids are gonna come every moment", he whispered loud.

"I don't care.. well, now as I know your secret then I'm gonna tell you mine", Joanna said as she took her gun out of her pocket.

"Joanna, don't", I said.

"Shut up", she said.

"Wait.. why don't you tell him?", she asked me.

"Tell him what day it was yesterday", Joanna demanded.

"Yesterday.. it was a year since Dory and I..... got kidnapped.. by your sister and her husband", I told him.

"What? You kidnapped someone?", Henry looked at Joanna.

"Where's they're parents?", he asked.

"Kristina's parents are dead.. like a lot of others too.. I've changed a lot since you abounded me, Henry", Joanna told him.

"I- I don't believe that", he said.

"Too bad.. you abandoned me, Henry! And that's why I'm in your house now", Joanna said.

"You killed that girl's parents.. what a horrible person you are.. I'm gonna have to call the police", Henry said.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you", Joanna said with a grin.

"And what are you gonna do to stop me? Kill me? I know you won't do that", he said.

"We'll see about that", she said as she stabbed him with a needle and he fell to the ground.

"Joanna!", I yelled.

"Shut. Up.", she said.

"Then why did you want me to come with you?", I asked.

"I want you to help me.. this is for not telling me until now.. grab his hands and help me get him on a chair", she said as she grabbed his feet.

She tied him up, and waited for him to wake up. After about 15 minutes, he had woken up.

Joanna aimed the gun at him.

"Why did you do it? Why did you abounded me?", she asked.

He didn't answer. Joanna had had enough, so she shot him.

"Joanna!", I yelled again.

Joanna tried to calm me down.

"It's okay.. chill.. just forget that this happened", she said.

"Remember it's not the first time.. you've experienced worse", she explained.

She was right.. i've experienced worse..
