Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil | Psalm 23

I pushed my glasses up that next day when Zoe walked down to me.

"You are a wanted person."

"I'm just doing something that should have been done a long time ago." I said back to her.

"You know that it came out that Ryan and his father have been hiding a lot of stuff for the past few years right?"

"I just want you to know that no matter what happens, that I never meant to hurt your family."

Zoe crossed her arms, "I trusted you with my family and you sleep with my husband. Lauren, we were family."

"Listen, Madison is at the hospital and they think she could wake up. I need family there with her when she does."

Zoe glared back at me, "She has been brain dead for 10 years, she ain't coming back Lauren."

"Promise me you will send the kids off and go to the hospital."

Zoe looked back at me, "I'm only doing it because we are family and I love that little girl."

I nodded my head back at her when she grabbed my arm.

"But if Morgan gets hurt, I will never forgive you, dead or alive."

I looked back at her as she let go of my arm and went to the side walk as Ella and Dean ran down to her.

I walked back over to my car when my phone went off.

"What do you want?"

"Owen, he is trying to leave."

"Where is he?" I started the car up.

"I just sent you the hotel address."

I pulled away from the school as Zoe watched me race away from them.

At the hotel, Owen tossed his things into his bag as he shouted into the phone, "She is coming for us you idiot. She is the one that will kill us!"

"At least someone knows what is up." I said walking into the room.

Owen dropped his phone as he turned to me.

"You wanna end that call." I pointed down at the phone.

"You shouldn't be here, you shouldn't even be alive."

I laughed back at him as I went over to the phone and ended the call. "Talking to Alex, I guess that it came out that you and Ryan were getting all of your mistakes covered up that you didn't want this out either."'

"You just did something that we didn't have to."

"So Ryan sleeping with Andrea was a way to piss me off so you two didn't have to kill her but you pinned it on me?"

"What are you talking about? You killed her that night."

I grinned back at him, "Are you sure about that?"

Owen narrowed his eyes back at me, "Oh fuck, he got us killed."

"You are correct." I raised the gun and put three into Owen's chest. "Ryan doesn't care about you and never will."
