This should be fun

Chapter 14

I woke up to someone knocking on my head. I was still tired and I felt like I only got an hour of sleep. When I opened my eyes Iris was hovering over my face.

"What," I said pulling the blanket back.

"Sanders wants you in his office," she whispered. She looked over to Ryot, who was still asleep. "Why are you two down here snuggled up?"

One we aren't even snuggled together, he faced away from me. The was no spooning or anything going on. And Two what does Sanders even want?

I avoided her question and went to his office. He was sitting behind his desk, reading some files. Maybe this was just about the case and he didn't find out about his car. But what if he did find out about his car. At least it's still in one piece.

"You wanted to see me," I said walking in. He gestured me to take a seat. "So what's up today."

He gave me a look, setting his papers. He wasn't saying anything just staring me. I sat there waiting, looking around the office. Looking at one picture on his desk of him and Jess & Ryot's dad. They looked like they were best friends, I wonder what happened.

He saw me staring and turned the picture away. "I have some bad news. We're sending you back," he said finally.

I was shocked and just when I was getting used to everyone. "No you can't. You need me. Why would you send me away?"

He took a deep breath keeping his gaze on me. "Well where do I start. First you brought two wild wolves here. Then you dislocated Iris's arm and then you almost killed your father. And this one is my new favorite. You stole my car. We can't keep covering for you, taking a blind eye to your actions."

Like yes I did all of that, but I had reasons. If I had let the wolves go they could've killed someone else or they could've been killed. Me hurting Iris and my father wasn't really intentionally, it just kind of happened. And if he would've realized that, then maybe I wouldn't of had to take his car.

"I'm sorry, okay. Just please give me another chance," I begged.

He pulled his gaze away shaking his head. "I wish I could, but arrangements have already been made. Your things are in your car and your grandmother already knows you're coming home."

He was serious. I would have to go back, knowing someone still might be watching me. And this time I won't be the one trying to find out who.

I took in a deep breath, trying not to get emotional. I'd miss these guys even Iris, maybe not as much, but just a little. I nodded to him, heading out. At least he gave me time to say goodbye, but I didn't really want to. That'd just hurt more. He tossed me my keys and I headed upstairs quietly, changing into some clothes. I quickly went to the kitchen it's going to be a long ride home.

"Where are you going," Iris said by the kitchen door.

I grabbed out two water bottles stuffing them in my purse. "I have to go," I said softly walking over to cabinet grabbing a box of pop tarts. "Be nice to Nalani, okay? I don't want to have to hurt you again," I said jokingly, leaving out.

I looked back at the house, feeling a stray tear slide down my cheek. I brushed it away getting into the car driving away. Sanders had a plane ticket for me, but I refused to take it. I'd rather just drive there avoiding anyone else.

It's been six weeks since I came home. Manni didn't really have a spare room for me to stay at. She offered to share her bed, but I couldn't hog up her space. So I slept downstairs in the basement on the couch. Right now she should be at her pastry shop, leaving me alone here.
