The Return

Chapter 8

After leaving Mrs Benson we had one more place to visit. I let Kaitlyn drive, as I sat in the passenger side. My head was leaned back as I stared out the window. I felt eyes on me, I'm sure its Kaitlyn who is supposed to be keeping her eyes on the road and the other is Evelyn.

"We're here." Kaitlyn said and I looked up. I realise that I was starting to fall asleep. I barely spoke or said a word. We just entered the building and went on the receptionist.

"Kaitlyn Young?" She said and then was approved. We were then taken to a room. There were two seats. Kaitlyn and I both sat, Evelyn was standing outside since only two visitors was allowed in.

After a minute, he came in fully guarded. One cop stayed inside, Mr Benson was handcuffed to the table. He had a small beard. He looked so cold and heartbroken.

"Uncle Jackson? Its me Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn Young." Kaitlyn said to him.

"Kaitlyn?" He asked and she nodded with tears in her eyes. She was right, my family really are monsters!

"How have you been?" He asked.

"Been doing great. And you?" She asked hesitantly.

"I'm fine. Whose this?" He aksed. Funny how he didn't asked about his daughter.

"Oh. Uhm.." Kaitlyn looked at me. I looked at her before looking back at Jackson.

"I'm Veronica, a friend and also roommates with your daughter Ava." I said and he looked at me confused.

"Ava?! You know my daughter?" He asked.

"Yes. Actually, we all live in the same apartment." Kaitlyn said.

"Ava came to visit me yesterday but she didn't tell me anything about her life, she had to leave because one of her friend was missing or something." He said and I looked at Kaitlyn with a questionable face.

"Sorry, I didn't know what to do." She said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm sorry. That would be me. We had a little... talk and it got overboard." I said.

"Its fine. I hope you are doing alright." He said.

"About that. Mr Benson I have something I need to tell you." I said and  Kaitlyn grabbed my hand.

"Ronnie..." She said and I closed my eyes.

"Mr Benson, my name is Veronica Johnson." I said and he looked at me confused.

"I'm the daughter of Brandon and Aria Johnson." I said and inhaled deeply.

"What?!" He said a bit loudly.

"Whatever my family did to your family, I'm really sorry." I said and he was about to get up to leave.

"Don't you dare come here again and stay away from my daughter!" He said.

"It wasn't my fault what my family did but I am paying the price for it by keeping it away from Ava. She's a really great person." I said.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"I want to know what happened. What did my family do?" I asked.

"Its time for you to leave." He said getting up. The cop then came to his side. We got and was about to leave.

"We visited your mother." I said and he looked at me.

"How is she?" He asked.

"She's being treated well." Kaitlyn said. As we was about to walk out, Kaitlyn left first and then I stopped and looked back.
