Broken Life // Grayson Dolan 1

Leaving England

Hey I'm Katie McCarthy and I'm 16 years old. It's only me and my dad as my mom and brother "died". Everyone knows it was on purpose. But me and my dad are really close. So we got through it together.

*Kitchen Counter*

I was looking through Twitter when my dad and an FBI agent came in and sat down. I put my phone down and looked up at them.

Katie:" Hello. Dad who is this?"

Charlie:" Remember the agent from Lewis' death?"

(Lewis is my dead older brother by the way)

Katie:" Oh yes. Hi agent Roger. What you doing here?"

Roger:" I have come here to take you and your dad to the airport. You will be leaving for Los Angeles tonight."

Katie:" Tonight? But I was going to go to the movies with Emily and Norman."

Charlie:" I am sorry dear. But this is going to make our lives better. We will be safe."

Katie:" What safe from the people who keep murdering our family."

Roger:" Now we can't tell if they are murdering your family. But it does seem odd that it was just in under a year."

Charlie:" Darling you know I wouldn't agree to it unless I really had no option. We have no other option. I am worried about your safety."

Katie:" Dad what about your company? Your base is here in London."

Roger:" We have arranged for there to be a base in New Jersey. So it might mean you have to travel from states but it will be for the best."

I grabbed my phone and walked upstairs to my room. I grabbed a suitcase and filled it with the things I really needed. I then grabbed my back pack and put my laptop, tablet and chargers in there for the flight. I also put some pictures of my mom and brother in there. I never leave somewhere with out them.

I make sure I have everything I need before heading back downstairs. Roger was waiting for me in the hallway.

Roger:" Your dad is in the car. Let me help you Katie."

I let Roger take my suitcase but I kept my back pack. We walked out to the car and Roger locked up. I got into the back of the car. Roger got in and drove off. I went onto my Instagram and texted Emily.

Katie:" Hey girl. Sorry can't make it tonight."

She instantly replied.

Emily:" WHAT? Girl we have planned this for ages. Why can't you come?"

Katie:" I am on my way to the airport. I am leaving for L.A."

Emily:" What? Why?"

Katie:" They think there is a link to why some one has targeted my family. Can you tell Norman and the others please?"

Emily:" Wow. And yeah sure. I'm gonna miss you. But I go to L.A every summer so I can see you then. I will try and text you every night. Love ya girl."

Katie:" Yeah. That is the only thing that I can look forward to. Love ya too girl. Speak soon."

Emily:" Yeah speak soon."

I put my phone in my pocket and slumped in my seat.

* Arriving at the airport*

I got out with my dad and Roger. Roger carried my suitcase for me and my dad took his. We walked quickly and got on to the plane. I sat by the window, my dad sat next to me and Roger sat at the end. I plugged my headphones in and drifted with the music.

I was getting nudged awake by my dad. I got up with my music still playing and we left the plane. We got our luggage and left the airport. There was a transport car outside waiting for us. We loaded our luggage into it and got in.

*Arriving at new house*

I got out of the car and I felt my jaw drop. I looked up the stairs leading up to the sitting area and the pool. It was amazing. I must of dreamed a bit cos Roger was ushering me forward. We walked up the long steps to the front of the stairs

Roger:" So I guess you like it Katie?"

Katie:" It's amazing. It is a bit big for two people though."

Roger:" You mean three. This is why I came with you. I am staying here as well. I have been sent here to protect you. It will be five tomorrow."

Katie:" Wow so it has gotten serious then?"

Roger:" We are not taking any more chances."

We arrived at the front door and Roger had the keys. We all went inside and Roger of course shut the door and locked it. 

Charlie:" Katie dear. Go pick a bedroom. I will be up to chat in a bit."

Katie:" Okay dad." 

I picked up my suitcase and carried it upstairs. There was two other floors besides the bottom floor. I eventually picked my room on the third floor. It had a balcony and a king sized bed. I put my suitcase on my bed and opened it. I looked around the room and I had a walk in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. There was also a little cupboard. I opened it and was a little room with a little ladder going up.

I didn't go up. I closed the door and started unpacking.
