Your New Father(A Benedict Cumberbatch Fan Fiction)

Chapter 11

The police, again.

"Yes?" I walked in and asked.

"Are you Scarlet Hawk?" the policeman asked me.

"Yes."

"Well we are here to confirm that you are living with Benedict Cumberbatch?"

"Yes." I felt like I had said so many yes.

"Okay Scarlet, your foster parents had been put into jail so now you don't have to worry about anything." after that, I went back to class to spread about the good news.

"Well someone sure is happy today..." it was Linda, I was with Cecil and Lilz.

"Why are you here?!" Lilz asked.

"Lilz please, this really is none of your business so just go back to your own shits.... just to inform you guys, I am currently back with Scarlet's ex boyfriend,  Edmund. Jealous?" she grinned to me. Of course, I had to fight back.

"Oh bitch please, I'm already with Cecil. Plus, you lied to dad last night, why? He loves you so much but you did this to him."

"If I said Edmund was the one that dumped me then my reputation would drop you idiot."

"You're a sick bastard."

"No you are." and she walked off. I didn't felt like having lunch that day so I hung out with Edmund in the library thinking of plans.

"So busy I guess?" I asked him.

"Well really busy you can say. But it's for you my friend." he patted my shoulder.

"Aren't you afraid that Linda will see you here with me?"

"That's impossible, Linda thinks people who comes to the library are geeks."

"Such a bitch."

"Well now, plans??"

"I was thinking maybe you could start recording maybe?"

"Wow that's fast. But when?" we decided Thrusday night.

On Wednesday night, I went to Linda's place for dinner. On the way there, dad and I did talk.

"You know Scarlet... I really think you misunderstand Linda, she's too nice to be what you think she is." it was really suprising as I thought dad already didn't like Linda.

"But dad... she lied."

"All teenagers lie Scarlet. Even you." this made me felt that dad trust here even more than he trust me.

Once we reached there, as usual the hugs and kisses.

"Linda what's with that picture of you and Cecil kissing?" I was suprised that dad would ask.

"Oh I am so sorry about that picture Scarlet. I really didn't mean to hurt you. It was taken few years back when you two weren't dating. My friends saw it then tweeted it without my permission." as usual she lied again. Such a bitch thinking that people will really believe her.

"Oh Linda why would your friends do such a thing?! Don't they know that it will really hurt Scarlet?!" Lind said. Maybe Lind was a nice person.

Dad and I didn't talk all the way back home. I didn't know whether Lind was nice or not but I thought Lind did not know how Linda treated me in school.

"So how was the dinner??" Cecil asked me as I walked into his room.

"Oh bad I guess." I threw my bag and fell on to his bed.

"Well baby girl that's expected. Come on tell me the story." and so I did tell him what happened and also reminded him about the plan of what Edmund will do. Actually Edmund had helped a lot in this case, maybe next time we can do CSI together.

The next day I woke up feeling great because that was the day that I could finally get my revenge. I wemt downstairs and had my breakfast with dad and Cecil.

"Hey dad are you coming back tonight?" I asked.

"Well... most probably yes. Why? Do you need me?"

"Not really, just wondering." after that, as usual, went to school, having people asking me questions.

"Anyone see Edmund?" couch asked during swimming training. Edmund had already went to Linda's house.

At about 6pm, dad wasn't home yet but Edmund came.

"So how was it?"

"So I went in, we started talking and she cannot be anymore annoying. Do I asked her what she is planning to do since she hates you so much. She said she asked her mom to date your dad so when they get together, she can slowly torture you." that was suprising. Dad was being used and he didn't know! Lind didn't even like him!

"Oh I really have to warned dad about her. Showe what you recorded." he took out his phone and started looking for it. He looked shock.

"Is everything fine Edmund??" Cecil asked.

"I can't find the recording."
