Distractions [completed]

Part 10: "I don't know what to do."

*-*Kesten's POV*-*

Why she called me I had no idea, all I do know is she was crying and freaking out so I threw on the first shirt I found and drove to her house.

I enormously regret just grabbing a shirt because this is my dad's club shirt... You don't even want to know what this shirt says.

Within five minutes I'm pulling into the familiar driveway. 

I get out my car as fast as I can. Without knocking, I walk in and find her on the couch sobbing into her hands. As soon as the door shuts she immediately looks up at me, looks back down, and starts sobbing even louder into her hands. 

Worry instantly washes over me but this time more intense. I feel a knot in my stomach as I think about what happened. What if she found out about our thing. Alexa would hate me for doing this to her and be even more pissed at her sister for setting the entire thing up.

Walking towards Soph, I sit beside her on the couch and begin to comfort her by putting my arm around her shoulders and pulling into my side.

"Shhh." I coo into her ear.

She ended crying for a few more minutes and was beginning to calm down.

"Are you okay now?" She nods "Can you tell me what happened?" I ask another question

She nods again and clears her throat "Alexa... h-heard me talking on the phone to one of the investigators I hired for... certain things. I ended up having to tell her because I'm pretty sure she heard almost the entire conversation. Something really bad happened and it's not my right to tell you, but I didn't want her to find out until she was ready. She ran out of the house crying and god knows what she's doing now, but I saw Jeremy chase after her and she punched him in the face." Soph explains

If the situation was different I would've laughed and been happy about her punching him in the face, but I'm too focused on what Alexa could be doing out there doing.

"I don't know what to do. Mom was the one who was good at handling these things, I'm an awful sister and guardian." I hear her say beside me, her voice muffled by her hands.

"Don't say that... losing your parents or a parent is hard on everyone. Alexa just handles it in worse way than you or Miles does. I'm gonna find her and let her calm down. You two need space so she'll stay at Marks and in a couple of days you two can have a real conversation about it, Okay?" I try to convince her.

After she agrees. I get a glass of water and a small glass of liquor just in case she needs to take a little edge off of the entire situation.

I stayed with her for a few more minutes assuring her that everything will be fine and to think positive.

I'm such a hypocrite... I can't even follow my own advice. Trying to stay calm while not knowing what could be happening to Alexa... Is really hard.

I get back in my car and drive to Jeremy's house. If you actually care, Jeremy and I used to be friends before I moved away for a while and when I came back he was in the drug selling business and I didn't want to deal with that crap. My dad needed me and still does.

I assume that he still lives in the same house and pull up into his driveway.

I knock on his door and right when he opens it, I'm standing there looking constipated trying to not smile and burst in hysterical laughter.

Bitch has some arms on her. I'm not even surprised to be honest, I mean she's punched me in the nose and my man parts. She must've been really pissed though.

Jeremy stands in front of me with a bandage on his nose, blood trying to peak through it. Bruises are slowly forming around his nose and also peaking through his bandaged nose. As if that wasn't bad enough, his bruises on the left side of his face are all the way up to his eye, making it close slightly.

He obviously notices and already looks pissed. "What do you want McAdams?"

"Look, I don't want to be here as much as you don't want me to be here. I need you to tell me which way Alexa was running before she punched you in your pathetic face." I snap trying to remain calm and trying not to punch him in his face

He smirks "And, why would I tell you anything?" 

"You're gonna tell me because I know how much you care about her and god knows what could be happening to her or what she could be doing."

He looks thoughtful for a second then rolls his eyes "She was running towards the Cafe."

As soon as those six words come out of his mouth, I swear I feel a light bulb flicker in my brain.

I know where she is.
