Hurt-l.h {SLOWLY EDITING}

Chapter 26

Next day

"You didn't tell her Stella, that's why she is so pissed off." I hear Luke say to mum through sleep.

"I know and I understand but she doesn't need to be as moody as she is. She is acting like I had told her that I am having an affair or that someone she is close to is dead and didn't tell her for a year. There is no reason for this shit that she is pulling." My mother yells at Luke.

"What's all the racket?" I hear Isaac ask through a yawn.

"Nothing honey." Mum says and I can hear the smile in her voice. Oh sure, because finding out that you have a sister, well half-sister, isn't anything big. It's huge. And when mum won't tell me the full story, it bigger.

Getting up out of my warm bed I stumble out into the hallway. "What do you mean it's nothing mum? Because finding out that you have an older sister isn't a big deal. Nice mum. And I don't think Isaac even knows." I turn to Isaac who is standing in shock. "Shocking right? And the worst part is that she was born 2 years after she married my dad and she doesn't look like him."

The look on Isaac's face was unreadable. He looks like he is sad then the next he is confused, then understanding, then angry.

"What do you mean she isn't your fathers daughter? Of course she is. Who else's daughter would she be?" Mum says, obviously understanding what I said without me saying the words. She has got to be kidding me.

"I don't fricken know mum, why don't you tell me. Who the hell did you have an affair with when you were with dad? Are you still with him?" At this Isaac's face changes to a greyish colour, like he couldn't think of something like that.

"I don't know why you would think I would cheat in your-" I don't let her finish before I cut in.

"Oh cut the bullshit mum. I know and so do you. Now tell me who he is or I will move out." I threaten. Of course she won't allow me to move out but it is worth knowing if she will tell me or not.

"There I no other guy Quinn." Oh My God. Did she really just deny that?

"Well guess what? I'm moving out." I tell her and turn on my heels, Luke hot on my heels and I slam the hard, wooden door closed after him before she could follow me.

I pull my drawers out and my red suitcase, blue suitcase and black sports bag. Pulling everything out of my draws and into my suitcase. Luke helps me fold and I give him a genuine smile.

"I'm sorry for what just happened. I just lost my temper." I say and drop my head.

"It's ok. But there is one thing. Where are you going to live now?" Shit, I hadn't thought about this.

"I don't know. I wasn't thinking." I groan, throwing the last of my clothes into my suitcase.

"Stay with me." Wait...what?

"What?" I say to make sure I heard right. He didn't just offer me to stay at his house right?

"Stay with me for the time being. I'm sure my mum won't mind." Luke shrugs and sips up my suitcases for me, while I grab all my valuables and books and shove them into my sports bag.

"I don't want this to be a burden for you and your family."

"You won't be, besides mum loves having you around." He beamed.

"I guess... Fine, I'll stay at yours for a while. But only till I find a place of my own, alright."

"Hey, Quinn?" He startles me after I get my toiletries from the bathroom.

"Hmmm?"

"You should get away for the week. Take a break from all..all this." He moved his arms in a gesture of my life.

"I should. But I don't know where to go." I shrug

"What if we moved the lake up a little. Instead of going Saturday we will leave tomorrow morning?" he suggests. I take a moment to think.

"What about school?"

"Your a straight 'A' student. I'm sure you can miss a week off school."

" Ok. I will stay at your house tonight and we leave first thing tomorrow morning."

Luke smiles like an idiot and we head out of the house. But before I leave I hear Isaac yelling at mum about how he cheated on my father and that she just let me walk out without a fight.
