Yep, I'm The Outcast From The Sea. (Outcast Angelfish book 3)

Alisha

My eyes set apon this girl, a girl I recognized at once. Alisha Oceons. My cousin.
"Do you know where the Oceons family lives?" She asks, obviously not recognizing me.
"No." I reply bluntly, still not believing that she couldnt recognize me at all.
"Oh I see.. im sorry.. ill be on my way.."
"Wait!"
Alisha turns around and looks at me.
"You.. you are Alisha Oceons. Aged 20 Daughter of Nina and Jason Oceons."
Alisha pales.
"H-how do you-"
"Oh come on Alisha its me! Jess!"
I fling my arms around her and hug her. She hugs me back.
"Why are you here?" I ask.
"To start a new life.. and.. to.. tell you something."
She says the last part with a tone of sadness.
"What happened?" I ask.
"Your mother.."

My heart stops.
"What? What happened?!?" I say in panic.
"She's gone." Alisha whispers weakly.
"Why?!?"
I could feel the tears entering my eyes.
"She got trapped in a cave.. nobody wanted to help her.. some people said sh-she deserved it"
A tear rolls down her face.
"It was aweful, Jess. We tried moving the stones blocking the cave ourselves but it was too much work for just the four of us.. she had died when we where done.."
Anger was boiling inside of me.
They didnt want to help her?!?
They said she deserved it??
I knew why, it was because she had me, therefore she was as much as a disgrace as I was. Not my dad nononono. My dad didnt get blamed. Infact he was encouraged to abuse me and my mother because we simply didnt deserve a happy life in their eyes.

Alisha looks around, her eyes scanning the entire beach.
"I like it here." She says.
My eyes scan the beach. It was the same beach ive swam in since the age of ten, bit somehow at that moment.. it looked better.

"I should get going." Alisha says.
"Oh?"
"I have to go pay the person I rented my apartment to."
"Okay. Goodbye Alisha." I say.
I watch Alisha leave. She didnt turn back once or hesitate. She seemed to know what she was doing.
I start walking back to the house, but as I do, terrible taughts enter my head of the past events of that day. I certianly did not want to go back to school. Ever.

The sky darkens. Evening was approaching very fast.
I arrive at my house, only to find Ethan sitting on the front porch.
He looks up at me.
"Hi Jess, ive been waiting for you."

I smile and pick him up.
"Well im here now. Where is Shirley?"
"Asleep." He says.
I couldnt help but realise how adorable Ethan was and how I couldnt ever bear to loose him.
I was so glad to have  a younger brother.
"Hey Ethan do you know who our cousin Alisha is?"
"Of course! Jack too!!" He says.
Ethan giggles happily.
"Okay bed time!"
I carry him to the room and put him on his bed.
"Jess?"
"Yea Ethan?"
"Will I ever see mum and dad again?"
My heart stops.
"Ive only seen dad once and I want to see mummy again."
"I don't know Ethan. Ill try and see."
I turn around quickly as tears fill my eyes.
"Goodnight Ethan."
"Goodnight Jess."

The next day, I didnt go to school.
I told Shirley to tell James I was sick.
I simply couldnt handle it.
Just right after Shirley left, I suddenly felt my stomache turn and my temperature rising. I was actually sick..
Tap tap tap

A pidgeon knocks on my window with its beak. It has a letter tied to its leg.
I open the window and take the note.
The pidgeon immediatly flies away.

"Hi Jess! I found Lukas laying unconscious on the street so I brought him to my home! I think he's sick! ~Aiko"

Where did Aiko even live?

A wasp flies through my window.
It lands on my cardigan and walks across it. Being the 18 year old girl that felt bad for the wasp, I didnt kill it the chance I got, and it stung me.
I reacted quickly and pointed my finger at it. The wasp fell down onto the floor, completly frozen.
Suddenly,an entire army at wasps charges at me and sting me multiple times, to the point where I pass out.

I wake up quite some time later, my arms legs and face entirely swollen.
I felt aweful. Nobody could help me.. everybody was at school.. everbody except Aiko.
I drag myself to my phone and text Aiko to come help me. He replies with an "okay"
I weakly drag myself to the couch and lie down. I felt terrible. The silence of the room wasnt calming me either. Usually, silence wouldnt even be a problem, but this was a scary silence.

The silence is broken a while later when the door gets broken down.
I straighten up on the couch in shock. Aiko is staring at me from the door.
"Holy monkeys." He says.
"Wasps. Very. Angry. Wasps." I say bluntly.
Aiko grimaces.
"How is Lukas?" I ask.
"He's sleeping." Aiko replies.
"You know.. you didnt have to break the door down.."
"It was locked."
"You could have knocked."
Aiko just shrugs.

I get up from the  couch and try putting the door back in place.
Aiko shakes his head and pushes me to the floor. His eyes flash red and he pushes to door back in its place himself. Aiko looks back at me, his eyes back to normal.
"Can I please see Lukas?" I ask.
Aiko shakes his head.
"I think you are barley capable of moving."
"Pleeaasse"
I had never remembered begging so much to talk to Lukas. I think it was the wasps venom or something.
Aiko shakes his head again.
"Atleast tell him to come here."
He sighs.
"I have a picture of him."
Totally not creepy at all.
Aiko shows me a picture of Lukas, witu a black eyes and busted lip.
Totally not creepy.
"What happened?" I ask
"I think he got beaten up or something."
I shake my head.
"I need to go see him."
I could slowly feel the swelling going  down and my determination go up.

Aiko groans.
"Jess."
"What?" I reply.
"He really needs rest, and you do too. You dont even know where I live."
"Well I WILL find out." I reply.
"Or I could just bring you and make ot easier."
My eyes glitter and I follow Aiko.
He walks to a big house, not quite a mansion but a big house.
Anne is outside. She spots Aiko and runs towards him.
"I dont know... what happened but he... he dissapeared." She says, trying to catch her breath.
"Lukas dissapeared?" I ask.
"Yeah.. I was in his room and I went to grab him some water, then he dissapeared."
Anne's face changes expressions.
"The last thing I herd him say was.. "Im going to kill him."
