Bullied...

Dealed

Jayden's POV*

We walked out of the Starbucks, and started heading down the street. We came upon a little store, and I looked around after we walked inside.

Jamen started walking up to the counter, and we approached a lady. I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Mom. I found her." she said and the lady looked confused.

"Pardon me?" she asked again and I smiled at her. I just couldn't believe how pretty she was.

"This is Jayden..." she said and the lady looked down at me. She slowly walked around the counter and came up to me. She put her hand on my face and I stayed still.

"Jayden! How are you here?!" she said and Jamen smiled.

"She moved to LA yesterday. I got a hold of her and brought her here." she said and the lady gave her a concerned look.

"How did you find her?" she asked and Jamen stopped smiling, as I did, too.

"I saw her number in the paper." she said and the Mom looked concerned again.

"How did you know it was her?" she asked Jamen, and she frowned.

"Mom... Our Dad died..." she said and she didn't know what to say.

"Can I see a picture of your husband?" I asked trying to stop the silence. Jamen pulled out her phone and found a family picture. She zoomed in on the man and I started to shake.

A feeling took over my body and made my eyes water.

"What's that guy's name?" I said and Jamen looked confused at my reaction.

"James... James Inkwell." she said and I didn't know what to say.

"Do you know him?" my Mom asked and I nodded my head.

After talking, Mom, Jamen, Grayson, and I, all walked out the door.

"What's wrong? How do you know James?" Jamen asked and I looked down, shaking my head, as Ethan put his hand on my back.

"He used to be my Aunt's dealer..." I replied softly.

"When did that end?" Jamen asked.

"Well, I told them I knew. She told him she was done and he beat me up in an alley, like a block away from my house because, it was my fault that his best source of money was done with him. I ran off after the beating, and we never talked about him again... I thought he was in jail... But... he can not know I'm her daughter! He'll kill me! He hates me!" I said and Jamen nodded her head.

"I knew that he dealed for a while! I didn't realize that he was dealing your Aunt!" she said loud and I looked over at Ethan. He had no idea what to say. But, I didn't know either...

"Wait... You knew he was dealing?" Ethan asked stepping closer to us.

"Yeah... I did. But, you're the first people that I've even told..." she said and shaking her head.

"Well, I think that it's time for us to go... We'll see you later." Ethan said and he put his arm around me, turning me around.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Jamen asked us and Ethan started to reply.

"We have to go to a doctors appointment..." Ethan said and I looked up at him in confusion.

" I set it up myself. I didn't want you to worry about it." he said and I smiled.

"Thanks Ethan." I said hugging him. We then, started walking and Ethan led the way.

"Where are we going?" I asked and he looked at me as if I was dumb.

"We're going back to the apartment to get Gray." he said and I got confused again. I thought that they were still mad at each other.

"Oh... Okay" I replied and we walked on.
