Chapter One
Reina grinned as she walked over with her lunch tray and sat down beside Tyler Simms. She saw the son's look at her like she dared to sit at their table, and she laughed.
Reid paled as he looked at the girl better. "Holy Shit!" He jumped up running around and grabbed her in a big hug. "When the hell did you get here?" He asked not letting her go.
"A couple of days ago." Reina grinned hugging him back.
"Where's Cashleigh?" Caleb frowned looking around.
Reid let go of Reina when he felt her stiffen.
Reina glared at Caleb. "I'm surprised Mommy Dearest hasn't told you yet."
Caleb glared at her. "Don't call my mother that!"
Reina scoffed at him. "Always Mommy dearest boy. When are you going to wise up Caleb and see how she treats you're sister?"
Caleb fought his anger taking a hold of him.
Tyler paled a little wondering were Cashleigh was. He looked at Pogue who was frowning at the exchange.
"My mother loves Cashleigh." Caleb glared at her.
Reina laughed bitterly. "You're mother sent her off to boarding school when she was ten years old. Didn't tell any of us she was sending her. Or where she was when we found out she was gone! My mother got it out of her, and sent me there. Do you even know where I've been? I left my family to take care of you're sister Caleb. I left my own twin brother who I love very much. I gave up my life here for her! I wasn't even allowed to tell him where I was. My mother is more of a mother to you're sister than you're mother ever was!"
Reid glared at Caleb. "Why didn't you let me know when you got here?"
"I've been taking care of Cashleigh." Reina answered sadly before putting her mask up almost as good as the one her brother wore quite a bit.
"What do you mean taking care of her?" Pogue frowned thinking about Caleb's little sister who was fifteen.
"Where is she?" Caleb growled standing up.
"In her dorm room afraid to come out and face people. She's broken Caleb is that what you want to hear?" Reina spat out.
"Broken?" Tyler frowned looking at her. "How?"
"She was raped a week ago. Gang raped. She hasn't talked since. We almost lost her in the hospital, but she came out of it. I called my mother who had to tell her. She came and called you're sister a whore, that she hadn't really been raped. All she wanted was attention. Your mother started hitting her, if my mother hadn't stopped her…" Reina left the threat hanging as she spat it all out glaring at Caleb. "Did you even know you're mother was gone for a week Caleb? Where she was?"
Caleb paled sitting down hard staring into space thinking of his little sister.
Tyler gasped paling.
Reid growled looking at his twin sister. He'd been able to email her and talk with her on the computer, but always in his mother's presence. He hated Caleb's mother for sending away her daughter, and that his sister had left him and his family to look after her.
Pogue saw red as he pictured the little ten year old girl following them around. Five years though was a long time. "She sent her away right before we all turned thirteen. You're mom said she didn't want her knowing about us."
"I don't believe you about my mother." Caleb glared at the beautiful blonde girl sitting across from him. "Where is Cashleigh?"
"Room 241." Reina glared back at him. "Don't though Caleb. She doesn't even know you anymore. She'll freak if you go."
"Wait a minute." Pogue frowned. "That's Kira Snyder's room."
"I know." Reina frowned. "I've already had a talk with the bitch."
Caleb ignored Reina going anyhow.
Reina frowned as she looked down at her uneaten lunch before jumping up and following Caleb. She wasn't going to let Cashleigh meet her brother for the first time in five years without being there to help her through it.
Reid frowned looking at Tyler and Pogue, before they all followed them.
Caleb walked down the hallway to the room where his sister was, and tried opening it. It was locked so he used to open it and walked in looking at the pale girl who lay on the bed, with her raven hair swirled out about her. She was sleeping and looked like an angel even with the bruises still covering her face. He paled walking over and looking down at her.
Reina walked in her face softening as she looked at the girl she called her sister, before glaring at the girl's older brother, and their leader. "Let her sleep." She whispered. "She hasn't been sleeping that much. Won't be long before she's waking up screaming again."
Reid paled as he looked in the door with Pogue and Tyler. "She's the one we heard screaming a few times last night?" He frowned as his sister nodded.
Caleb looked down at the girl not moving just staring at her. He didn't even recognize her anymore. It had been so long. His eyes flashed a little thinking about seeing his mother grimacing as she looked down at her bruised hand, and when he'd asked she said she had fallen why she was away. He knew now she had been lying. "God I'm so sorry Ash. I should have been there for you. I should have fought mom more to tell me where you we're." He hurried out of the room before the other's saw his tears threaten to fall. He made it out to his car settling himself inside before they burst as if a damn had broken.
"Should we go after him?" Tyler frowned.
"No give him some time alone." Pogue sighed looking at their little 'sister'.
Reid walked over to his own sister pulling her into his arms and holding her. He frowned feeling her shake a little and he realized she was crying.
"I tried to protect her. I'm sorry. I wasn't there that night. I was out with friends." Reina sobbed.
"It's not you're fault Reina." Pogue frowned looking at Reina in her twin brother's arms.
Tyler sighed looking between the girls frowning when he saw Cashleigh crying in her sleep, and growing restless.
Cashleigh sat bolt upright screaming.
Caleb frowned as his sobs finally ceased, and he put his keys in the ignition and started the car heading home to talk to his mother. There had been too many lies and he was tired of it. He peeled out of the parking lot flooring his mustang as he headed home to confront her.
