Move (ON HOLD)

Chapter 2

ELIZABETH'S POV

I didn't know what to do. What did my dad do to them that they have to go as far as hurting my dad? And now they're after my whole family? I felt shivers run down my spine.

"Dad---" I began.

"We wanted to hide it from you because we didn't want to worry you. I'm sorry, honey." Mom interrupted.

"I contacted the police, and they're going to track them down. We'll figure something out once I get out of the hospital." Dad sighed.

"When are you getting out?" David asked.

"The nurse said I'm allowed to leave tomorrow night. Now, go home. You have things to do, like attending your classes." Dad said pointingly.

"Yeah, I told my professors that it was an emergency and they told me I can have the day off. So I'm free." Dave said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

Suddenly I remembered that Andrew wanted to hang out after school. Oh well, we'll just have to reschedule. Sigh. I sent him a message.

Eliza- Sorry Andrew! I had an emergency 2day! Dad was pushed down the stairs :( Hang out 2morrow?

"Just bring your sister somewhere fun. I'll take care of your dad." Mom sighed.

"So eager to get rid of us. Fine. Let's go, Eliza. Bye." Dave muttered, grabbing my wrist and pulling me outside. I quickly waved goodbye before following Dave.

"Go put on something nice."

That was what Dave said before disappearing into his room.

I rolled my eyes and went to my room. Rummaging in my walk-in closet, I finally found something cute, but comfortable. It was a pair of shorts, a top that said "vacation please", which was just what I needed right now.

After taking a shower and blow drying my hair, I put on the outfit and put on a bit of lip gloss and mascara. Slipping on a pair of sandals, I grabbed a shoulder bag. Making sure I had everything, I walked outside.

Dave was sitting on the couch, watching t.v. He saw me walking out and groaned.

"Finally! I told you to get changed, not take a shower!"

I rolled my eyes. "Let's just go, okay?"

"OMG!"

I squealed. I couldn't believe it. Dave was like, the best brother ever! He took me to a fair!

I jumped on Dave, giving him a big bear hug.

"Can't.... b-breath..." Dave croaked.

Giggling, I let go of him. "Thanks so much Dave! You know how much I love these! We haven't been to one since forever!"

Dave chuckled. We walk up to the ticket booth, and Dave gave the girl some money. The girl giggled and flirted with Dave, who flirted back, making me gag.

My phone buzzed, signaling a message.

Andrew- Sorry :( Hope he gets better soon! Sure, Starbucks?

Eliza- Sure! I gtg, ttyl bye :)

Andrew- ok, bye :)
