Your New Father(A Benedict Cumberbatch Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5

I felt my heart moving fast with my blood being pumped fast. I expected this to happened but not now and not here. I looked to my headmaster who looked dissapointed. He had always liked me as I always go out for competitions using the name of my school.

"Are you Scarlet Hawk?" I was asked by a policeman.

"Yes."

"Are your foster parents Ken and Taella Hawk?"

"Yes." before the policemen could say a word. Those two idiots started screaming.

"You brainless little kid! We helped your parents to take care of you but all you did was running away?!" I kept quiet and looked to my headmaster hoping he could help.

"May I ask... who are you living with now?" I thought for a while abouts what I should answer. I can't answer his real name but figured it would be better if I say it out.

"Benedict Cumberbatch..." everyone stopped doing what they were doing. 'Mom's mouth was opened wide.

"Actor Benedict Cumberbatch?" one of the policeman asked.

"Yes. That day I tried running away from them but they started beating me up. Then, a fine gentleman came and saved me. He figured I didn't have any place to stay so he let me stay with him and now, he is my father." I explained even though they didn't ask. I wanted them to know that they beat me up.

"Beat you up?" they asked.

"You bitch stop lying!" 'dad's said.

"Mr  Hawk I believe you have no rights to speak now. Scarlet, do you have any proves to prove that what you said is true?"

"Well I do have a lot of friends who knows what I had been through. I also have this." I rolled up my sleeves and showed them my scar that was never going to heal.

"This was made when I was 8. I was ordered to their work for them but I did it wrong so they beaten  me up." I said while they took a look at the scar.

"Stop lying Scarlet." 'mom' said but everyone ignored her.

"Why would they ask you to do their work?"

"Cause they are out for parties..."

"Can I interview her friends?" they asked my headmaster. He agreed and they all went out. My Foster parents warned me to go home before they decided to go. I was left with the principle.

"Scarlet Hawk. Why didn't you tell any teachers about this?" 

"One, because one thing that my foster parents taught me is that I can live alone without any help. Two, no one would believe me. Three, I have my friends to back me up. Now can I be excused?" I got my permission and went back to class. The policemen were interviewing my friends Lilz and Cecil. Lilz tried to reach her hand to me but I ignored and walked into class. I wasn't really in a good mood as I was thinking on how to explain to my classmates but just as I walked in, everyone came crashing on to me asking what happened. One of them asked me how is life living with Benedict Cumberbatch which meant, the whole school will soon know about this. Yes obviously I would become popular and all those usual shits that happen but I didn't want people to know.

Lunch wasn't any better. I couldn't even walk into the cafeteria as everyone was blocking my way and asking me a lot of questions. Cecil tried to chased them away but failed so we decided to catch some fast food opposite of our school. Luckily, none of our schoolmates were there.

"What did those policemen asked you guys?" I asked after I finnish bitting my burger.

"They first asked when did we started being friends. Then asked things like how did we know bla blabla and stuff like why didn't we tell anyone about it." after that, we went back to school. Luckily I didn't have swimming training today or I would have to suffer for 2 hours more.

-Scarlet and dad-

[Sorry Scarlet, you will have to walk home with Cecil.] Dad

[Something big happened today. Our secret is revealed.] Me

[We'll talk about it tonight. I'll have to go on set now.] Dad

"So are we walking or are we suppost to wait?" Cecil asked.

"Walking." many kids from our school walked back home so yea, as I walked home. I heard people screaming:"Scarlet! Scarlet!" or even "Are you still consider a Hawk? Scarlet?" I mean that doesn't even made any sense! Finally when we reached our residensial area, no one screamed. Probably because this is quite an expensive place. 

As soon as I reach home, I went to my room, threw my bag on the floor and collapsed on the bed while Cecil too, went right upstairs. I went for a hot shower, changed into a pink dress thinking that pink really isn't my colour, and went up to look for Cecil.

"Hey." I walked in. We started doing our homework together while laughing at random things that happened on that day even though majority of it was not a good thing. We finnished our work at about 5 pm so we decided to go for a walk in the park just opposite of the house. I never actually been there before but I must say, there are quite a few hot boys. There were the buff ones who were playing football and also the tall ones who were playing basketball. 

"So how's your family?" I asked as we sat down on a bench.

"Not sure." he sounded like he didn't really wanted to talk about it but I wanted to know what happened.

"Well did you call back?"

"Yea. Mom said she's fine. Dad said the same thing too."

"And Chris?"

He paused for a while then answered:"As usual. Making a mess. Mom tried to lock him in the house but he managed to climb over the window and the fence. Not sure how he climbed over the fence really."

"Well did he called you or so?" I was actually quite scared when I asked this question as I was positive that he did not like me talking about his brother.

"He did called me and threatened me to go home. And also demanded me to tell him where am I."

"Did you tell him?"

"No of course. If I tell him you will probably be died by now." after that, we went back home. Dad was already home waiting for me to tell him about the big news.

"Mind explaining what happened?" he said while sitting on the sofa using his phone.

"Okay so... police went to school, looked for me, asked who was I staying with, Foster parents were there, yelled at me to go home, told the police how I suffered and Yea."

There was quite an akward silence. I knew that even Cecil stopped using his phone and looked up.

"And nothing else??" dad said.

"Not sure. Got a feeling I will be called out again soon."

"So i guess your school knows about us?"

"Guess so..."

He stopped for a while and said:"I need to get a shower." and he walked up to his room.

"You sure your dad is okay?" Cecil asked while walking to the kitchen.

"Nope but just give him a few minutes." I was sure that dad was not okay about this but still.... I can't be a bitch and say "Oh no he is not okay, he is going to kill me!" Nope, I am not that type of girl.

The doorbell rang so I went and checked the security camera to see who was it.

It was the policemen and my foster parents. Again.
