"I want to keep this private," I heard Pristine telling her team of lawyers, "I don't want the media to know that my son who ran away at a young age all of a sudden showed back up."
"How do we explain the fact that he's been gone for years?" Mr. Hill asked Pristine.
She shook her head, "He was away...boarding school. That's it...boarding school."
The lawyers shook their heads, "Everything is going to be fine Mrs. Hill. We have the psychiatrists examining him now. They are going to access...the damage..."
Mr. Hill hugged Pristine at that moment. They actually looked worried. Were they worried about Jonah or about something that Jonah knew? Something had crippled them in fear.
I walked back to where everyone else was in the waiting room of the hospital after grabbing them a few sodas. They had been examining Jonah for hours now. Jackie was sitting in the waiting room. Aaryn was with him, straddling onto his arm and right next to her was Adrian crossing his arms. Adrian's eyes darted to me as soon as I came into the room.
I went over and handed Jackie a can of soda ignoring the other two.
"Thanks," he stated grabbing the soda out of my hand.
Aaryn just looked at me. I couldn't believe she was all over Jackie again after I caught her sucking Adrian off. I had every intention of letting Jackie know but now this had happened. Jackie had so much on his mind. Right now wasn't the right time.
"Are you ok?" I asked Jackie.
"My twin brother came back after 7 years of being missing," he stated, "I'm kind of in shock to tell you the truth."
Aaryn smiled at him, "It's going to be ok baby. He looked really good."
"How are you holding up Quashie?" Adrian asked me.
He was looking at me as though I was really concerned.
"I think Jackie and the Hills should be the focus right now...not me," I said rudely as I could possibly muster.
I didn't want him talking to me. I didn't want him asking me anything. I felt bad about his secret coming out but I still felt so damn betrayed by all he had done.
Jackie shook his head, "You are a part of this family too Quashie. It's so weird. You reminded me so much of Jonah and now that he's back I'm sure you two will get along."
Adrian rolled his eyes, "Anyone think he's kind of unstable? I heard them talking about how he was hiding in the walls..."
"He's not unstable," I said immediately, "He's just different..."
Adrian sighed, "Look all I'm saying is normal people don't run away from their families and hide in a mansion. They don't do that for 7 years. That is strange behavior. And if I was Mr. Hill I probably wouldn't want my family around someone like that until they underwent extreme mental evaluation. A few hours isn't going to cut it."
Aaryn nodded, "I have to admit you're right."
"You would agree with him huh?" I said to Aaryn.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Aaryn asked.
I couldn't stand even looking at her. She backstabbed Jackie and was now on his case. She was clearly betrayed Adrian already as well by telling Pristine about what was going on with his family. You couldn't trust people like her.
I rolled my eyes, "It doesn't matter. Jackie I just want to let you know I'm here for you and the other Hills. Jonah seems like a good guy."
"Thanks man, but why now...why would he come back now?" Jackie asked.
