I came out of my room and walked back down the stairs hoping to find Blair right where I left here. "I need to know everything, from start to finish, and i'm not taking no for an answer" I walked into the kitchen sitting down on a stool.
She opened her mouth "Everything happened three weeks before Mack died, I had to go over to his house because I wasn't feeling my best, if only I knew. We sat in his room and talked about what the possibilities would be that I was pregnant since I was only fourteen we didn't know how to use protection.
He found a pregnancy test in his mom's bathroom and I took it. After he gave it to me and told me what to do,I went into the bathroom and did exactly what he told me to and then we waited. After five minutes we both went in and everything changed after that moment, we didn't know what to do. Three day's later Parker was using the bathroom and he found the test and confronted Mack about it.
He told him that he wanted me to get an abortion and keep everything a secret or else he would do something about it. That night everything happened was the night that Mack and I were going to leave out of fear, but somehow he found out that we were fleeting and found us.
Then he shot Mack and said I was next and left before the police arrived. That's why I left and never came back. I don't regret anything that I did, I know I was just a child and it was irresponsible but, I loved Mack and would do anything for him."
After everything she told me I had no words. We just sat there, didn't move, not a sound. I got up and out of my chair, walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her. She put her arms around me and we both squeezed each other knowing that this is the first time we've hugged in just about four years.
That night I went back into my room and e-mailed Luke everything, after getting the okay from Blair of course. It was good sending that email and going to bed knowing that finally something is going in the right direction.
That morning I woke up to a text from Luke. "Hey babe, I got your email last night, were going into court this morning and i'm one hundred percent sure that we will get our justice today. I can't wait to see you tomorrow and i'll let you know if anything happens. Love you.".
I smiled and just left my phone on my night stand as I pulled the covers off of me and walked into my bathroom to take a shower. After taking a relaxing warm shower I wrapped a towel around myself and opened the bathroom door. I turned on the tv and the new's was on, so I just left it and went back to the bathroom.
I was brushing my teeth while hearing the news caster. "Let's talk to Brandon who is in front of the courthouse now". "Good Morning Samantha, today we are in front of Winston's court house in Orlando Florida wondering how one man, by the name of Parker Axton, seemed to escape police custody on his way to hearing".
I spit out the toothpaste that was in my mouth to hearing what the news caster just said. I walked out of the bathroom and sat on my bed while turning up the tv. "On this sunny Florida morning, many people expected to hear a reading on a man name Parker Axton who was accused of murdering his nephew Mack Axton, but seemed to be missing".
I opened my door and ran down the stairs "Dad,Dad" I yelled. I walked into the kitchen to see Blair "Where's dad" I asked "In his office, Grace what's going on".
I walked into his office "James i'm going to have to let you go" my dad hung up the phone to the sight of his daughter in a towel and dragged wet hair. "Grace, honey, what's wrong" my dad stood up out of his chair "He's gone" "What" he asked "Parker's gone".
My dad took a look at me and wrapped me in his arms as a tear fell down my face. We both kneeled on the floor still hugging while Blair stands at the doorway in shock.
I soon made my way back up the stairs and into my room. I turned off the tv and crawled into my bed while grabbing my phone and calling Brittany. Buzz,buzz,buzz "Hello" Brittany answered "Brittany", "Grace, i'm sure you heard by now" she said "I did, and i'm upset and angry and every other emotion there is", "So is everyone else, Luke sent me the email you sent him last night this morning, Parker might know that he's found guilty and fled", "Why does it sound like you're not upset or mad" I asked "Because I know either way he's going to jail, I finally got my justice Grace, that jackass is going to jail and my family will now be at ease".
I could hear the calmness and relief in her voice. "Luke isn't here" she told me "What do you mean he's not there, he texted me this morning that he was on his way" I reassured "Well, he's not here, I have to go but if he shows up i'll let you know" she hung up the phone.
I finally got out of my damp towel and into a pair of black leggings and a dark burgundy shirt. I spent the day sitting in my window nook, writing and occasionally gazing out the window.
"Grace, I brought up some dinner" my dad walked into my room "Thank's dad" I was still sitting by the window, it was getting dark. After my dad closed the door I walked over to the plate steak and fries and placed it on my desk.
I walked into my bathroom and added a few drops of makeup and put my hair in a messy bun. I grabbed my jean jacket and my chelsea boots and headed down stairs. I zipped up my boots and slid on my jacket "Where are you out to" Blair asked "Out, don't wait up" I said grabbing my keys and walking out the door.
