Chapter 10.

Alida's P.O.V.

I woke up alone in bed. I got up and went down stairs to look for Alex but she wasn't there. I shrugged and walked to the kitchen to find something to eat. Pancakes sounded so good right now so I tied my hair up in a bun and turned on some music. My favorite song came on and I started dancing and singing along. I could say that my singing is better than my dancing, I didn't care though because I was home alone. The song finished and I heard a giggle and clapping behind me. I turned around and saw Alex with an amused face on, behind her was Ash and Logan laughing.

"How long have you guys been standing there?" I asked while a blush crept to my face.

"Not long, but long enough to say you have a good voice, your dancing not so much." Alex said walking pass me and towards the pancakes.

"If you keep eating like that, you're going to become fat." She looked at me then lifted up her shirt showing off her toned stomach. She patted it and shrugged.

"I'll be fine." She grabbed a stack of pancakes and walked away.

"Show off." Logan mumbled.

Since my mood was killed I went upstairs to take a shower and changed my clothes. I went back downstairs and joined the rest of them on the couch as Ash surfed through the channels to find something good to watch.

"Where did you guys go anyway?" I asked.

"I went to go drop my mom off at the airport and then these kids wanted to hang out so I picked them up on the way back here." I nodded and focused my attention to the tv where Ash was still flipping through channels. After a while I heard a groan, Ash turned off the tv and faced us.

"Let's go out. It's boring here."

"I'm sorry my hospitality isn't good enough for you." Alex said acting hurt.

"You're right, it isn't. Now let's go." Ash walked out the door expecting us to follow her.

"The boss has spoken." Logan said as he got up and went outside with Ash.

"Is it just me or is there something going on between them?" I looked at Alex and she shrugged.

"Come on." She grabbed my hand and walked out the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We somehow ended up at a park. Ash and Logan abandoned us for the swings so me and Alex just walked the trail that was part of the park. I wish I brought my camera but I guess a phone could work for now. I snapped a couple of pictures then took some of Alex for the project. We found a really cool spot the was blocked off from the rest of the trail so we went there to take a break from all the walking.

"We're friends right?" Alex asked.

"Yea why wouldn't we be?" I gave her a weird look.

"I was just asking, we didn't really get off on the right hand." I laughed at her.

"Are you okay? Alex you took me away from hell and I didn't even ask you to. Why wouldn't I be friends with you? I owe you big time." She shrugged.

"Yeah that was a dumb question." She chuckled and got up. She reached out her hand and I grabbed it to get up.

"Let's get back to those two knuckle heads, they probably hurt themselves on the swing by now." I nodded and followed her out. Why would she ask me a question like that? I feel like she's trying to tell me something. No, she probably just wanted to make sure. Right? My thoughts were blocked off by being knocked down. I groaned and looked at the suspect who made me fall. Ash was laughing so hard she started crying. I flipped her off and got up.

"Sorry I was trying to run away from Logan. He has a cricket in his hand."

"It's fine, where is he anyway?" We both turned around and saw Alex and Logan looking at us with a evil smirk on their faces and their hands behind their backs.

"What are you guys up to?" I asked

"Alida, run." Ash said as she ran off. I stared at her in confusion and I saw both of them try to shove two frogs in my face. I screamed and ran away from them. I went to go hide in a tube on the playground but Ash was there.

"Go find your own place." She whispered. I rolled my eyes and started running to the slides. Logan came out in front of me with the frog still in his hand. I screamed and ran the other way. I ended up at a dead end at the back of the playground I turned around and saw Alex with the frog in her hand. She got closer to me and I backed up until I hit the fence. I started crying for some reason. Alex put the frog down and ran to me.

"I'm sorry Alida I didn't mean to scare you. I thought it was going to be funny."

"It's fine, I don't even know why I started crying in the first place."

"You're probably tired, let's head home."

"Yes mother Alex." I chuckled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We dropped Logan and Ash home then headed to the house. When we got there, there was a cop outside the house knocking on the door. We got out the car and walked towards the cop.

"Can I help you?"Alex asked.

"Yes, I'm looking for Alida Santos." He said looking at both of us.

"That's me." I said looking at him weirdly.

"I'm going to have to ask you to come with me."

"What did she do?" Alex said getting frustrated.

"I have a report from your father. Saying that you ran away from home. He asked me to bring you back home." My heart felt like it dropped to the bottom of my stomach.

"I helped her get out of that house for a good reason and I'm not going to let her bring her back to that hell hole." Alex said getting angry.

"That's not really your choice ma'am. I'm sorry but she has to come with me." He said. Alex was about to yell but I stopped her.

"It's ok Alex, I'll be fine." I turned to the cop.

"Can I get some clothes first?" He nodded.

"I'll be in the car."

I ran upstairs a cried, Alex came in and wrapped her arms around me. She ran her fingers through my hair till I calmed down. I looked up at her and she look down at my with sadness in her eyes.

"I got you out there once, I'll get you out there again." She said.

"How?"

"Something you didn't know is that my mom has a fostering license. We fostered this one kid that my mom found while at the hospital. He was abused really bad at his old foster home. His foster father nearly beat him to the death. She couldn't let him go with anyone else so she got the license to foster him for a year till a family adopted him."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"If you tell that cop in the car that you are being abused by your father, he could be put on trail and since you're still a minor for two more months, you will be put in the system till they find you a foster family or until you turn 18. My mom could sign the paperwork to foster you for a while, til you turn 18. Then you could stay here with no problem." I nodded my head.

I got up and packed my clothes. When I was done I looked at Alex. I don't know why she waste her time on me but I appreciate it. Let's hope this works out. I walked towards Alex and she looked at me.

"You ready?" She asked. I nodded. We both walked outside, I gave her a big hug.

"Don't die, I'll kill you." I chuckled. She kissed my forehead then let me go. I walked to the cop car and got in. He pulled off and we were on the road back to hell.

"Hey officer?"he looked at me through the rearview mirror.

"Yes?"

"Before we get to my fathers house, I will like to make a report."

"What is this report about?" I took a deep breath.

"I've been abused by my father for 5 years."
