Joey

I walked behind Rosaleen's mother slowly and contemplated if I wanted to take the risk.

"Well come on jack, " she said, she was already at the bottom of the stairs while I was busy thinking up top of the stairs.

I sped up my pace and we ended up in what seemed to be an office. The door behind my closed and there sat her dad.

"Jack, is it?" I usually was never nervous about people like him but I started to sweat.

"Yup."

"Wrong!" He bit into the apple he had in his hand, " Thank your 'girlfriend' for slipping your name out during dinner...why are you really here?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. My name is Jack Halton, " I put my hands in my pocket.

"See that's how I know you're lying, " he pointed at me, " No boy would be this calm around their girlfriends dad unless they were trained to lie as well as you do..."

"Is that so..?" I tried to play it off.

"Hello Joseph Birlem," he tossed the apple core straight into the trashcan without even looking.

I gulped and I heard a gun click from both sides. One from the direction of Rosaleen's mom then her dad.

"Gotta say, you did fool us for a good few hours. What did u tell our daughter," he said.

"Just everything painful you've brought to our family, " I lifted my hands up slowly with a straight face.

"You don't know anything!" He put the gun closer to my head.

Suddenly the door opened and Rosaleen covered her mouth, " Dad! MOM! PUT THE GUN DOWN!"

"Stay out of this Rosaleen," her dad hissed.

"No! Joey has done nothing but help me. He may be a dick but he still brought me here."

"You know who he is? You lied?" Her dad lowered the gun out of disbelief.

"I was kidnapped. His dad tried to get the code out of me but I wouldn't budge. I gave in for Joey. I'm the reason he's here so if anything that gun should be pointed at me," I couldn't believe what she was saying. Risking her life for me.

"Y-you what?"

She nodded then her mom looked like she just saw a ghost.

"I didn't do it to risk your lives, I did it so they could understand your side of the story."

"What do you mean story?"

"Your feud with Joeys father! You killed his sister, " she pointed at me and both her parents gave her a 'wtf' look.

"I can't believe this. You believed him?"

"It's what my father told me," I budded in then he put the gun back to my head, " shut it."

"We didn't kill anyone, " her mom looked confused, " His father r-raped me!" I could hear the hurt through her mouth.

"What..." Rosaleen and I said.

"I was drugged by him while I was dating your father and he was married to his wife. I woke up with bruises from him forcing me to do things. He FUCKING STARTED THIS MESS!" her voice started to raise.

"And what about my sister!? How'd she die huh?"

"She found out even though she was so young. Your dad was pissed and killed her! He tried to frame us to make it seem like we did it but we would never murder a little girl!"

"Your father is a cold hearted man. He uses and manipulates all of you!

The words slipping out of her mouth just tore me apart. I trusted my dad. He's always been the one to teach me things and everything was piecing together making what she said true.

"My dad k-killed my Sophia...?" My eyes started to drop and I couldn't take what I was hearing.

"Interesting," we heard a voice echo in the hallway say and our eyes went to the opened door but no one was there.

"Thanks for leading me here Rosaleen. You just made my job 10x easier," I recognized the voice to be my dads.

"You coward! Come out," her dad yelled pointing the gun at the door.
