Stepsisters ~ Chapter 6

"What do you mean my dad's been arrested?" I asked.

I mean, there must be a mistake. My dad could never be arrested. He's a PASTOR for god's sake! And, this is definitely not the time to tell them about Noah...

"I mean, he was arrested for violence. And so was your dad Hanna..."
"What the hell were they doing that caused them to be arrested for violence?" Hanna asked in weird tone.
"Fighting." Ashley sighed. "Look, we have to go down there to bail them out."

We followed Ashley out to the car where she drove us down to the station.

"I'm here to bail someone out." Ashley told a man sitting in uniform at the desk.
"Name?" He asked.
"Ashley Marin."
"Person who you want to bail?"
"Ted Wilson."
"I'll be back." Was all the officer said before he got up and left.

The three of us were ushered into a room where we were told to sit and wait.

Ted was taken into room about five minutes later.

I jumped up, ran over to him and hugged him, I then stood back and hit his shoulder.

"What were you thinking?!" I whisper yelled at him.
"I'm sorry, I was mad, I couldn't just stand there and watch him slap you and get away!" He said going over to Ashley and hugging her.
"Thanks Ted. But, you're a fucking pastor. This, doesn't look good for you!" Ashley sighed.
"I don't care. Look, let's just go home and get dinner."
"Thank you! I am starving!" Hanna whined making us laugh.

Ashley made pizza and served it to us.

"Where is Noah?" Ashley asked putting a plate down in front of me.
I looked up at her quickly then down at my food.
Shit.
"Alexa?" Dad asked. "Do you know where your brother is?"
"No. Why would I?" I sweat nervously.

Hanna gave me a weird look. Am I really that bad a liar?

"Alexa. One last chance."
"Okay fine. I don't know where he went, but, I know he left."
"What the shit?! Why would you keep that a secret!" Dad yelled.
"Because you were arrested and I didn't want to make things worse."
"Hallway, now!" Dad demanded.

I sighed and got up, I followed him out to the hallway.

"Alexa Mae Wilson! What the hell were you thinking?!"
"I'm sorry dad. He left this though." I said handing him the crumpled letter in my pocket.

He read over the note and got to the end. He looks worried and angry, all mixed in one.

"I'm sorry dad, but now didn't seem like a good time."
"You're brother, could be in a lot of trouble right now!"
"I'm sorry dad. I didn't think." I whispered. Worried about what he was going to do.
"Look, just go an finish dinner. I'm going out." Dad sighed and stormed out the house.

I turned around to see Ashley and Hanna staring at me.
A tear slipper down my face.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"It's okay. Um, I'm going to have to go and help. Hanna, you and Alexa stay here, in case he comes back. It okay." Ashley smiled squeezing my chin. "Hanna, look after her!" She yelled as the door slammed behind her.

Noah's POV
My eyes burned. Like they were on fire.
I couldn't see anything. Not even my own hand in front of my face.
There was a tight pain around my stomach.

A light flickered on.

(A/N: their mom bled to death at the hospital - her body disappeared though)

My eyes had to adjust the light.

A person in dark clothing walked over to me. They had something in their hand.

I tried screaming but it was no use. My mouth was duck taped shut.

A vapour type thing came out into the room.
My vision became blurry again. The room went dark.
