Part Twenty

(I re-edited this story. Also sorry that this story isn't the best. It's one of my first two😅I'm trying to improve on my other stories. So if you don't enjoy this one go check out another one of mine.~𝓐 🤍)

Jo's POV.

I just grab onto Scott's arm.

"Mom why are they here?"
"They heard Jo was in town."
"So you let them in? Mom you know what they did to her."

He pushes me behind him.

"No I don't know anything of what you're talking about."
"Her aunt and uncle right there tortured her. He r@ped her. Sold her for sex without her mom knowing. They starved her to death because she was 'too fat' but she isn't and she is beautiful in my eyes and everyone of her friends. I want them out of here now mom."

He grabs my hand and we walk up the stairs into his room. He closes the door. I sit on his floor criss cross applesauce.

"What are you doing?"
'Shhh need to focus'

I close my eyes.

"Are you easedropping?"
'Maybe now shh'

He puts candles around and lights them. I focus and keep my eyes closed. And I start to hear what they're saying. I hear my aunt Joyce voice.

"You honestly don't believe that do you Melissa?"
"He's my son I doubt he would lie about that. Now like he said leave."
"She's our niece"

I hear my uncle Justin say.

"Her mother didn't leave custody to you. She signed me as her guardian. And for her to to live with her father so whatever happens to him I get her."
"That isn't fair."

Joyce says

"I say it's fair enough she trusts me more with her daughter then her own sister and her trashy husband."
"What about her powers?"
"What about them Justin?"
"She's gonna need us because she has nobody who can help her with them."

Joyce says.

"Just get out of my house."

I hear her shoo them out the door and closes it behind them. I stop listening. Scott is sitting on his bed I get up.

"So what happened?"
'Your mom is my guardian.'
"Seriously?"
'She trusts your mom more than my own family. So that means I could live here if I wanted to.'

I sit on his bed.

"Then why don't you?"
'I told you Scott I have to be with my brother.'
"I know hey let's take a picture. Come on."

He gets up and grabs my hand and we walk to the bathroom. I get my phone out and take the picture I show him.

"We look cute."
'You're the one who looks cute.'
"Send me that photo."
'I will.'
"Like now I wanna post it."
'Okay okay geez.'

I send it to him. He kisses me on the check.

'I wanna take a bath keep me company?'
"Of course."
