The Adoption

The consequences (part 3)

Knock! Knock! someone was at the door. Evie stopped eating her lunch and walked up to the door. Brendon was in the bath so she was on her own for a little while.

She opened the front door and there was a woman standing there. She wore a white shirt with a black jacket, it had a badge with the name 'Claire Green'. Her tight skirt and tights were black and so were her black high heels. Her hair was up to her chin a mouse colour. She said to Evie:

"Hello! Is Brendon Urie in?"
"Uh.. no, he's gone out." Evie lied.
"Oh. Right can you pass this message on to Brendon that he has missed an appointment with us at the Apple Tree Group. It's his turn to speak about his problem and how we can sort it ok? Thank you!" The woman walked away and drove off in her car.

Problem? What problem? Evie thought. He never told me what about any kind of problem. I'll better ask him about this. She shut the door and walked up stairs to Brendon. He was in his roon, combing his wet hair.

"Oh hi Evie! Who was at the door?" he asked carefully.
"Some woman." She said. "She asked about some appointment at a group you have missed. Um Brendon?"
"Yes Evie?"
"Have you got some sort of um... problem?"
Brendon put his comb down and looked right at Evie. He didn't look very happy. He walked up to Evie and put his hand on her shoulder. "And where did you get this idea from Evie?"
Evie nervously explained "The woman said you had some sort of problem."
"Why would this woman would want to lie to you? How pathetic!"
"The woman didn't look like she was joking. Why are you lying to me?
"She is a liar! Stop saying I'm the liar! I'm your parent Evie and she's just a stranger!" Brendon walked out of the room and came back in with a long rope. He wrapped some of it round his hand and pulled the rest of it tight.
"You wouldn't want me to do this do you?" He walked closer to her, looking angry. He bent down infront of her.
"Um..um..no! " She was scared to death.
"Good. Now please don't argue with me ok?" He walked out of the room and went downstairs.

Evie ran to her room and slammed the door. She sat against it and cried. She couldn't believe that Brendon had threatened her. She absolutely hated him at that moment.
