Evil Ties Within

Chapter Eighteen

We arrived home. Piper did not say a word and we planned that. Just in case there was a bug of some type. Not that I thought Lily or Emma were smart enough to do that, but you could never be too careful.

Xavier went to my window because he did not want to talk to my parents. Especially after being with dad and Lily. Piper walked with me inside. Maya and Aaron just said hi and went on their way.

As soon as we were all inside my room, I demanded Piper speak.

"I did not find anything," My face fell.

"What do you mean you didn't find anything?" Xavier looked ready to punch something.

"Woah, babe, calm down," I went to him because he needed to calm down. I did not need to explain to my parents why Xavier was in my room and how he even got there.

"I'm calm," we looked at Piper expectantly, "I did not find anything criminally damning, but I think I found the reason she wants you dead." I held my breath; Xavier grabbed my hand.

"Have you ever looked at your dads will?" I am confused.

"No, why would I need to look at that?" Piper got out her phone and handed it to me.

"What am I reading?" Then it clicked for me, "Oh my god. She wants me dead for money. Are you freaking kidding me?" Xavier took the phone and read it for himself.

"That's not even the worst part. In order for her to get any money from his will you both have to be dead," I felt like my world is spinning out of control.

The will Piper found states that I am the sole person who would receive all of my dads possessions, assets, and home. I would literally be getting everything my dad owned. On top of that he has a saving for me that I can access once I am eighteen.

"Wow," that is all I could say. Next thing I know I am blacking out.

I woke up in my bed. Piper seemed to have gone home. Xavier is sitting on the floor reading. I went to get up and winced. I laid back down. My head is pounding.

"What happened?" I asked while touching my head.

"You blacked out. I am assuming you got overwhelmed by the information." Xavier got up and laid next to me. I turned toward him even though it hurt to do so.

"Why did he never tell me? Why did he marry someone if he had no intention of including them into the will?" Xavier scooped me closer to him. He smelled like pinecones.

"I don't know, babe. Maybe he felt lonely or he did not want to take you back without having a female around." I suppose that made sense.

"Yeah, maybe. I just can not believe my dad married a psycho. I can not believe I made friends with a psycho. How could I miss that in Emma?" I started to cry. Even though Emma is no longer my friend, I still considered her my best friend at one point.

"Everything will be okay. I got you," even though I am crying, I kissed him. I meant what I told my dad. This boy is my future.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

We both fell asleep in each other's arms.
