Chapter 45------------------------------

Alex stretched her arms over her head as she gave into a jaw cracking yawn and huddled herself further under the covers.

"why're you in my bed" Kate grumbled.

"you're warm"

" you could turn up the heat"

"na you can be my personal heater"

"cheap"

Alex nodded.

"and lazy"

"I'm hungry" Kate murmured.

"mmmm Ihop sounds lovely. Whatcha think?"

" agreed. I need a shower" Kate said getting outta the bed.

"ahhhhh" Alex whined and curled into the fetal possession.

Kate shut the bathroom door and Alex heard the shower turn on. She got outta the bed pulling the covers along with her. She made her way to the dresser and looked through her phone no new messages. Luke probably wasn't up yet she thought. She shrugged her shoulders and sent him a quick message.

'getting breakfast with Kate. Hope to see you and Collin later. Love you. - Alex'

Kate came out in her robe and a towel wrapped around her hair.

"holy bugs that was quick"

"holy bugs?" Kate said raising an eyebrow.

" yea I don't know why that came out"

"shower's all yours"

Alex took her time in the shower letting the hot water rush over her body easing her stuff muscles. As she massaged the shampoo into her hair she thought about Luke. The man seemed to be constantly in her thoughts. Him and Kate. That seemed like all her brain revolved around these days. She quickly washed her hair out and applied conditioner. After washing her body she hopped out and started getting dressed. Half way through putting her bra on the door was flung open.

"ah! Kate!" Alex yelled covering her chest.

Kate looked around as if trying to see who Alex was talking to then proceeded to look down her own shirt.

"yup just what I thought. I have those to Alex no need to burst the ear drums."

Alex rolled her eyes and slipped her tie die dress over her head. Grabbing a blue scrunchie she tied her wet hair up in a high pony.

"ready?"

"yup" Kate nodded.

Alex gave Rambo a pat on the head and some kibble for breakfast and they headed out the door. The restaurant wasn't far so they decided to walk.

"hey Alex?"

"hmm?"

"ummm.. Well"

Alex looked over to see Kate wringing her fingers nervously and biting her lip.

"spit it out Kate"

"I like collin!" she squeaked

Alex let out a loud laugh.

"yea I figures that by the tonsil hockey I witnessed last night."

Kate blushed and took out her phone.

"Im telling you this because dad called last night."

Alex whipped her head around to Kate.

"what? What do you mean he called? What'd he want?"

"He told me that I needed to come home or he would come get me himself."

"he wouldn't dare"

"that's what I said. But he said if he couldn't come get me he'd send someone."

"when did our dad become such a fucking physco?"

"he's always been this way we just chose not to see it. Remember all those nights he would beat mom?"

"yea until we got old enough to take a hit." Alex said looking away.

"you always got it worse. Every time he would even try to hurt me you'd burst through the door."

"you're my little sister and I love you. I'd never let anyone hurt you."

"I know" kate said.

They came to a stop in front of the restaurant. All traces of the carefree mood from earlier washed away. Now you could feel the tension.. The worry in the air. They ate their breakfast in silence. They both knew their father wasn't bluffing and they were both terrified something awful was about to happen.
