The Ripple Effect

Ripple Effect 16

Chris left to pick up the pizzas and left me alone with Stephanie. When I dated Hunter I was always afraid of her. She was very intimidating, she was the spiting image of Hunter. They both are beautiful and perfect people.
"So, where are your parents?" She asked.
"I don't know." I said and she frowned.
"No, I meant your mom."
I was stupid, of course she meant my mom, not my real parents.
"Oh, she's at work."
"And your dad?"
"He is gone. He left us."
"I get it. Sometimes it just gets to much. Our mom left too. Justin blames himself, but I blame Hunter. He always acts like a spoilt brat, which he is."
"Why did you guys even adopt him?"
"He was supposed to be Hunter's friend."
I kept quiet, because I knew if I said something that I'll might say something bad about the Argents.
"Chris is a nice guy. You're lucky to be his sister." She said. I wasn't in the mood for talking, so I told her that I was going to my room, but she followed me.

I entered my room and she followed close by and closed the door. She turned around to face me, everything about her changed.
"Valarie is letting her emotions control her. I'm hear to make sure that you do everything we say or we will spill your secret and that would be the end of you."
I froze and stared at her and saw nothing but a sadistic grin. I knew she was on the Silver team, but she was nothing like Valerie. "I can't just kill someone." I told her and she laughed.
"Oh, that is only the end game, there are other things that you need to do."

A few hours later Danny and his friends were in his room, making a lot of noise, so I decided to go to the kitchen and make myself some coffee. I could see the living room from the kitchen and I watched Stephanie and Chris on the couch. They would talk and then they would start making out. They got up and Chris led her upstairs, when she saw me, she gave me an evil smile.

I couldn't sleep at all. I tossed and turned. I got up a went downstairs. I was surprised to find Chris there.
"Hey." I said.
"Hi." He reaplied.
"Do you know that Step..." I started to say, but he interrupted me.
"Is Silver. Yeah. How do you think me met? How do you think Valerie and I met? I looked for them and they found me. They cornered me at the game. Valarie did."
"What!? You knew?."
"They said that they were playing a prank on you and Steph paid for the window."
"What is going on between you two?"
"I really like her and I should get back to her."

I got a text from Hunter when I went back to my room.

Hey, I really need to talk to you. I think I know what happened to Sam. Can you meet me and Inga at Delight? ;-)
