Accuse Me Again!

Chapter 2

Uncle Danny's Pov:

Taking in Kate was going to be the hardest thing I would ever do and I knew that, but I wanted to help my only niece. I know she isn't a murderer but the fact the the police are after her for supposedly killing Ryan is bad enough. I know the mayor, he used to be a family friend before power corrupted him and his family. Power is was drove Carly to commit suicide after her husband became the mayor. I was so deep in thought that i didn't notice that i had been cutting the brownies all crooked and in different sizes.

"Not your best cutting in my opinion."

I look up to see kate drying her hair and staring at the brownies.

"If you don't like the way they look i guess i will have to eat them all without you."

"That's unfair." She reached and grabbed a brownie before i could stop her.

"I get one anyway. Ha ha."

She looked so happy and for those few seconds we could forget about what brought her to Baltimore in the first place.

"What do you want for dinner tonight? Pizza or Pizza?"

"Wow, so many choices. I think i'll have pizza number three."

"Hawaiian pizza it is."

"No you know i hate it."

"I'm just joking, we're having cheese."

Sitting down to eat, i was happy she wasn't too upset, but i could see it in her eyes, she was sad. I've known Kate all my life, she couldn't hide anything from me if she tried. I know she's keeping something from me but i don't want to push it for right now, she has been through a lot.

Kate's Pov:

It was nice joking around and having fun with uncle Danny just like we always do. But i hate keeping secrets from him. I'm afraid that if I tell him he'll call my mom and freak or something.. I mean how do you tell your favorite uncle that while the police think you're a murderer, you're actually carrying the real murderer's baby..

"Kate? You okay?"

"Yeah sorry.. Just have a lot on my mind."

"Wanna talk about it? You know you can tell me anything. I'll always support you"

I fidgeted with my fingers nervously and looked up at him. "I'm pregnant..."

"Oh sweetie.. We're gonna get you through this."

I cried hard in my uncle's shoulder because he was there. I hadn't told anyone else and hiding is the hardest thing to do. I'm so scared..

"Uncle Danny you can't tell my mom.. Then the police will know where I am.."

"I won't I promise. But I am going to do a hell ton of research and sign you up for classes and take you to doctor's appointments. Okay? I want you and the baby to be healthy and I want you to feel safe and feel that your baby is safe. Remember, murder is a choice and so is abusing someone. Just don't be scared that your baby is gonna end up that way."

I nodded at my Uncle's comforting words. But could I really do this? I mean.. I'm sixteen.. How am I gonna raise a baby.. On the run of all things..

After a few weeks, I had gotten used to waking up at eight every morning to go to work with Danny. When I was younger he would always teach me a ton of stuff about cars and engines and all that, so then once he left I continued to work on them so I wouldn't forget. It was a nice way of making me feel like he was still there with me. So now we we work in a Mechanic Shop. M uncle's scary awesome with computers and all that so he made me a whole fake identity and everything. I was scared at first, thinking I'd get caught, but I've been doing great. I've even made a few friends. Now that I was working to get my own money I didn't feel as bad about staying with uncle Danny just in case I needed anything. Of course, Uncle Danny is rich so he refuses to let me pay for anything.. I so hate that.. Every morning new people come in for an oil change or a check up but there's this one guy I work with. He's so cute. His name is Collin. He washes his car every week and I always stare at his bare chest while he does so. It's so beautiful.

"Why don't you just go talk to him?"

I jumped at Danny's voice. "Because i'm pregnant and lying about who I really am." I whisper frustratingly.

"He doesn't know that. Just be honest open with him, You can have the rest of the day off. Go on."

"T-thank you.." I washed my hands really good and slowly made my way over to the gorgeous half naked man I had been ogling for weeks. "H-hi.."

"Hello there"

"Uh.. d-do you need any help?" God Kate just be weird..

"Actually yes, if you don't mind. There's this girl who works here in the mechanic shop and she always seems to stare at me like I'm eye candy, could you help me find her?"

I blushed crimson red staring at the ground. He's making fun of me.. I couldn't stop the tears from forming so I just ran away. I ran down the street to my uncle's house and hid in my room. I was stupid to think that would work.. Just go up to him and then we get to know each other.. I've only had one boyfriend and all he ever did was make fun of me, hit me, and tell me I should kill myself.. I guess I deserve it for being so immature.. To think anyone could love me.. I just wanted to go home.
