Good Girls Lie

Chapter 23 - Huh?

Poppy POV

I slowly opened my eyes to see a familiar room and familiar voices talking.

Ryder.

I'm at Ryder's house.

*sigh*

I slowly sit up and groan form the amount of pain throughout my pain. The most pain in my thigh.

"She's awake." I hear Alison exclaim. I smile a little smile. Ryder and Anne come into the room. They both smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I'm so happy you woke up. I just finished cooking dinner." Anne said.

I nod.

"Oh, mom call them." Ryder said to Anne. Anne nodded and left the room.

"You older brother and sister came while you were sleeping." Alison says.

I furrowed my brows. "What did they say?"

"They told us what happened." Ryder relied.

I sigh and shrug. I was going to tell them anyways.

"Why did you frown when I mentioned them?" Alison asked me.

"Because they don't love me." I reply.

Alison shook her head. "You got it all wrong. When we opened the door, their faces were written with worried and concern. They love and care about you. They said your going to live with them for now on. They got a house here and they are going to attend the community collage here." She said.

"Huh?" I said. I'm confused.

"Your going to live with Addison and Austin." Ryder spoke up. I looked at him and looked back at Alison. They weren't lying.

I don't how I should feel. I wouldn't be lonely any more. I would finally spend time with my siblings and I would feel loved and cared about.

I smile at the thought. I feel happy about this.

The sound of the doorbell brought me back to reality.

"They're here." Alison said. She walked to the fro t door and there stood Addison and Austin.

"Come in." Alison welcomed.

They came into the living room after greeting Anne who now walked into the living room with them.

I saw Austin wink at Alison and her blush. I knew I was the only one who saw them. I smile.

I see a ship building and it's going to sail soon. They look so cute together.

"Poppy! I was so worried about you!" Addison exclaims. She comes over to me and gets on her knees and grabs both of my hands.

"I'm sorry for what has been going on when Austin and I weren't here with you." She says.

I smile at her. "It's ok. You guys didn't know." I said.

"I'm happy your ok." Austin says. I look at him and smile. I try getting up to hug them, but Anne sits me back down.

"Dear, you need to reduce some activities. You have to deal crutches for a couple of months." Anne explains.

I gasp. "Crutches?!" I exclaim.

"Yup." Anne says, popping the "p".

I sigh. Why couldn't I get up and run away before he stabbed me?

I'm so weak.

"No you're not."

Huh? Did I say that out loud?

"You sure did." Austin laughs, and since his laugh is so contagious everyone else laughs with him too.

I cross my arms over my chest and frown. "It's not funny."
