We'll Protect You

Chapter 4

Evan's Pov:

I looked at the clock and still have time before I head over to Amanda's house, so me and the guys were just doing a background check on her, and wait to see if anything pops up. "I found something!" Mini shouts and we all looked up at him, while he sets down a few papers in front of us, and I took a closer look.

"She lives with her father, but what about her mother?" I asked him and he hands me some hospital records, so I opened them and my eyes widen.

"What is it Evan?" Tyler asked me and I looked up at them.

"She died about 5 years ago from an illness, along with her sister and brother." I tell them and the room was quiet.

"But that doesn't explain the cuts and bruises on her arms!" He yelled and I sigh.

"What about her dad? Maybe he's been abusing her or something." Nogla said and then it hits me.

"She told me that she shouldn't have been here, and that she should've died along time ago." I explained to them and their eyes widen. "I understand the cuts, but the bruises?" I said and thought about for a few seconds.

"Don't worry about it Evan." Tyler said and I looked over to him. "Me, Mini and Delirious will look around the house, while you're talking to them." He said and I nod.

"I'll call for back up." Delirious said and laughed, so he grabs his phone and went into the other room, but when I looked up at the clock.

"Time to go." I said and we head out.

Amanda's Pov:

I was quickly getting ready, because Evan is going to be here any minute, so I just put on a pair of basketball shorts, along with a random t-shirt, and I put on some socks. Then I was about to pick up my hair, but there was a knock at the door, and then I hear it open and close. "Amanda?! Your principle is here!" My dad yelled from downstairs, so I grabbed a rubber band and ran downstairs, and when I get down there.

"Hello Amanda." Evan said with a smile and my dad looks at me.

"Hello Mr.Fong." I said and looks at me confused, but now understands on what I was thinking. "I'm going to make dinner, so please excuse me." I said and picked up my hair, while tying it in a bun, and put on my mom's apron that was hidden under the sink, for a few years.

"So, Mr.Fong." My dad starts and Evan chuckled.

"Please, call me Evan." He tells my dad and I got a pan out, while putting oil in the pan, and luckily I pre-made the burger patties.

"Evan. Did my daughter do something wrong at school?" My dad asked him and my heart started racing, so I let the pan heat up a bit, and got some lettuce, tomato, onions and cheese. I start cutting the lettuce and tomato into slices, and then the onions into fine pieces, while putting them in a plate, and then I took the patties out from the fridge.

"Oh no. She's doing very well in her classes, and is getting her work done within minutes." Evan explained to my dad and he laughs.

"My wife was the same way as well." He said and his tone changed as well. My heart just dropped, because my dad hasn't really talked about my mom a lot anymore, and he'll always avoid it if some asked.

Tyler's Pov:

"Fuck dude, that shit smells so fucking good!" Mini whispered yelled and kept smelling through the bottom of Amanda's door.

"God damn it Mini!" I whispered yelled at him and smacked the back of his head. "We need to look around her room and see what we find!" I tell him and he gets up from the floor.

"Fuck me dude, fine." He said and I smirked.

"Maybe I will." I joke to him and he mumbles something to himself. "What was that?" I asked nudging his side and he pushed me away.

"Could you two stop being lovebirds over there and start looking?" Delirious said and I rolled my eyes, so I carefully look around her room, and I gotta say. She keeps her room spotless and very organized, and it makes my room look like shit. I went into her closet and it kind of shocked me, because on one side. There's nothing but dark clothes and on the other side. It's very colorful and kind of cute.

"Find something?" Mini asked and stood next to me in her closet. "Oh wow." He said in shock and I nod, but I looked in front of us and see a few family photos in the center, so I went and took a closer look.

"This must be her entire family." I said and she look very happy in them, but when I looked at the picture at the bottom. It was just her and her father. She doesn't look happy at all and looked miserable.

"Guys?! Come here." Delirious whispered yelled and we went into her bathroom. There were razor blades across the sink, but they weren't covered in blood, and band-aids were piled up next to the blades. Her mirror was shattered and there was dry blood on it.

Amanda's Pov:

"Dinner's ready." I said, so my dad and Evan came from the living room, and sat down at the dining room table. I grabbed both of their plates and set it right in front of them, while handing my dad a beer and Evan a glass of water, so I head towards the sink and begin to wash the dishes.

"Amanda? Can you turn on the radio?" My dad asked, so I quickly dried my hands and got the radio out from the cabinet, and I plugged it in. Then I turned it to his station, which is 99.5, because that's the only station he'll listen to, so I turned it up a bit and went back to washing the dishes.

"This is really good Amanda." Evan said and I smiled a bit.

"Thank you." I thanked him and washed the last dish in the sink. I washed my hands and dried them off, while taking off the apron and decided to take it back up to my room, so I leave the kitchen and head upstairs. Then I faintly hear footsteps in my room, so I quickly run into my room and my eyes widen, and they looked up at me. I was about to scream, but within seconds. Tyler covers my mouth and quietly closed the door, while pinning me against the wall, and I tried pushing him off of me.

"Please don't scream, just let me explain." He said and lets me go.

"What the fuck are y'all doing in my room, and-" I stopped and lowered my head. "This was Evan's idea, was it?" I asked him and he sighs. "Get out, before I call the cops." I warned them and hanged my mom's apron in the restroom.

"Come on Tyler." Craig tells him and then it was quiet, so I head back to the kitchen and my jaw dropped to the floor, because my dad was passed out on the floor.

"Dad!" I shout and ran to his side, while I kneel down next to him, and then looked up at Evan. "What did you do to him?!" I yelled at him and tears started falling down my face.

"He told me everything, that he's been abusing you, and blamed you for your mother's death, along with your brother and sister." He said and I held my dad in my arms. "I didn't kill him, but I did put him in a deep sleep, and he's judging himself right now."

"What are you?" I asked him, while looking up at him and his eyes were bright golden yellow, and he kneels down in front of me.

"I'm a demon."
