I got out of the car a moment after my Mom had. I watched her from behind as she stopped in front of our garage, placing both hands on her hips.
"What on earth is this?" She said.
I heard the sound of a car pull into our drive and I turned to look over my shoulder to see Peter, Sebastian and Harry climb out of the car.
"See Charl I told you, you could do it." Harry called walking over to me, swinging his arm around my shoulders and pulling me into his side.
I smiled slightly, before my attention was given to the conversation between my Mom and Peter.
"Who would do something like this?" Peter said.
"Do you think it's Mr Anderson's husband? With his divorce?" I heard my Mom say in a hushed whisper. I could only assume she thought it was a pissed off client or defendant.
"But this? This is childish." Peter said, shaking his head.
I gulped and looked up to find Sebastian looking directly at me. I felt my eyes widen slightly as I realised he didn't think it had anything to do with our parents work, but something to do with me. Sebastian had confirmed my worst suspicions.
I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, leaning into Harry for support. I just needed a breather from all the drama. I had no energy for it anymore. I was done.
"What if it has something to do with Charlotte and -" I heard my Mom say, causing my eyes to suddenly open. My Mom was looking at me with a questioning look. "Charlotte do you have any idea about who could have done this?" My Mom asked me.
I felt my eyes widen slightly in panic as I looked at her. The only people who would write something like that would be Milo, Sadie or even Billy. Although, I can't imagine Billy doing something like that. Yet, I didn't think he would drink and drive or believe Milo was innocent when i told him what I had been told. Maybe Billy did do this? Maybe I was wrong about him after all. Maybe I didn't know Billy at all.
I glanced at my stepbrothers, I had no idea what to tell my Mom. I had my suspicions about who had done this, but I couldn't prove any of it. I had no idea if Billy or his friends actually did it. I wasn't about to tell my Mom.
"I don't think she knows anything, Daisy." Sebastian said, turning to my Mom.
I looked at Sebastian almost in shock at him covering my speechlessness. Why did he keep helping me, yet seemingly continue to not like me? Nothing about Sebastian made any sense to me at all.
My Mom sighed. "I want it scrubbed off or painted over before a neighbour or somebody see's it, if they haven't already. Honestly, this is last thing i want us to be worrying about right now. All we should be focusing on is Charlotte. Not some imbecile's pathetic attempt at insulting us."
"It's alright, Daisy." Peter said to my Mom. "Me and Tommy can paint it over, right Tom?"
