Thin lines between love and hate

Chapter 42

Dominique's POV:
"Jessica you have to tell them that's your brother" I said "I can't" she said "why not" I asked "I just can't ok" she replied back and ran off "what are we going to do about this, Jessica is only going to make this worst if she doesn't tell the authorities" Ray replied back "wait a minute, what does this guy have to do with Jessica" Simone asked. I can't lie to Simone either "it's a complicated situation right now, just come with us" Ray relied back as we headed to find out where Jessica had disappeared. "Jessica... Jessica.... Jess. Are you ok?" I asked "no, I'm not and I'm not going to pretend like everything ok" she said as tears ran down her face "um, can you give us a minute" I asked "yeah, come on" Ray said as he left the with Brandon and Simone following behind "I don't want my brother to continue to follow in my fathers footsteps" she said "then you have to tell the police about this. If you want what's better for your brother then do what is right and tell the police" I replied back; she sighed "I'll see you later ok" I said and headed to the exit and went to go look for Ray, Brandon and Simone.

Jessica's POV:
I sat in the room for a while thinking about how I would tell the police about the situation when I felt a cloth go over my mouth and began to black out.

A few hours later:
"Wake up" I hear as cold water is being dumped on me and causes me to instantly wake up. "Wha...what am I doing here...why are you doing this" I asked as I realized I was in a in a room tied to a chair "Shut up" he replied "what do you want" I asked; he didn't respond. This seemed so unreal, I couldn't believe this was happening. "Why do you have me locked up in here" I asked; he looked at me and was hesitant but replied back "because I need you for something" and my heart began to beat faster "what is it" I asked. "You'll find out pretty soon" he replied to me "sooner or later my friend will know that something is wrong and she'll come looking for me" I told him; he chuckled "I highly doubt that. I sent her a text message saying that you decided to go home and relax for a while. I may be criminal but I'm not stupid" he replied. I feel like he had a point "whats your name" I asked as he looked at me as if I was crazy "Jonathan Jones" he replied "what happened to you exactly, do you have any parents or siblings" I asked wondering what he would bother to say "I don't know what happened to my real family. I was told that my mom gave me up when I was a baby and that my father was abusive. I don't know about the whole sibling part and I honestly could care less if a had one" he replied. My heart sank to the bottom of my chest knowing that  he could care less about having a brother or sister considering I was his sibling "so where have you been living all this time then" I asked "I've been on the run for a while. There isn't much of a opportunity for me to be staying anywhere unless I know I won't get caught" he replied "did you ever grow up with a foster family" I asked; he hesitated once again "I did once" he said "and so what changed" I asked "life" he said "do you ever wonder what it would be like to live with your real family" I asked "why are you asking me these thing, you don't know me, you don't know my life so stay out of it" he told me as his voice began to rise "I can only image how your mother would react to the person you've become. Don't you think she would have expected more from her child she had to sacrifice for in order to protect them and keep them safe" I replied back to him as I felt tears form in my eyes "WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT ME ANYWAY. YOU AREN'T MY MOTHER" he yelled "I MAY NOT BE YOUR MOTHER BUT AS YOUR SISTER I CARE" I yelled back realizing I slipped up my tracks "what did you just say".

Dominique's POV:
"Hey what happened" Ray asked "Jessica decided she should go home and relax for a while, I think It would be the best option for her right now. She needs a moment to herself." I replied back as he nodded his head "I think we all should go and relax for a bit" Simone said "yeah, we should" I replied back as we headed our separate ways hoping this crisis would be over soon.

Jessica's POV:
"What are you talking about" he said; his voice cracking "I'm talking about me, I'm your sister. And I know that our mother would not be proud of your actions, I know this is a lot to take in but it gets better I promise. Just let me help you" I relied. I could easily tell he wasn't buying the story "your lying" he replied "I am not, our mother did what she had to do in order to protect you and she would have done the same thing if it was me. Jonathan you have to believe me please. Your only going to make this worse if you don't trust me" I replied as I felt tears for in my eyes and then run down my cheeks. "I believe you" he said as he untied me from my chair "come on we have to go" I said heading towards I think was the exit "I can't" he replied placing himself in the seat himself. He was in shock "why not" I asked "because I would be putting you in danger that's why" he relied looking at me "no Jonathan, you have to come with me please" I said. He stood up and followed me through the door "I promise I won't let anything happen to you" I relied back as he nodded his head "do you trust me" I asked "yes" he replied back. I took hold of his hand and headed to where I know he would be safe.
