An: So, I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, but I'm having an early dinner party with my step dads family today and in honor of Thanksgiving I'm putting out another chapter, Yay! Thank you for the reviews alerts and favorites!
Chapter 7 So NOT expected
The next few days were hectic to say the least. Seth never answered any of our calls and ignored us when we arrived at his fathers funeral. He looked different also, his hair was cut short, he grew taller and he got more muscle, Just like Paul and Jared. And also like Paul and Jared, he wouldn't say a word to us, hell he wouldn't even look our way. Collin and Brady were getting really pissed and would have confronted Seth if it weren't for our other problems. We found out we couldn't keep the custody case within the council and the court had enough evidence to keep my mom in prison, but they weren't sure if Jared and Paul should get custody of us. The judge thought that since they were only 18, they weren't mature enough to take on three 15 year olds.
The judge was an old lady who looked like she had a stick up her ass. She mentioned there was a couple who would be willing to take us, but they lived all the way in Seattle. Jared and Paul didn't like that very much, in fact they got really angry and started shaking until Sam calmed them down. I didn't like that either. I may not be getting along with my brothers right now, but I sure as hell didn't want to be that far away from them. Billy's been trying to do everything he could, but it didn't seem like we would be winning this custody battle. Until, the three of us were informed of a plan Jared and Paul had.
They brought us over to Sam and Emily's house and sat us in the kitchen. I always liked Sam, hell he used to baby-sit me with Leah all the time, but since he broke up with Leah for her own cousin, I started to dislike him. Emily wasn't on my like list either, I felt sorry for her due to the scars she had to bear, but what she did to Leah was horrible in my eyes.
"Okay, it's pretty apparent that we aren't going to win this, but we are not going to let you guys live in Seattle." Jared started.
"Sam and Emily have signed up to be foster parents and they've been approved, so they're going to try and get custody of you three." Paul finished.
"Say what!" Collin exclaimed. He wasn't to fond of them either because of the same reasons.
"Look, it's the only way we can get you to stay with us. So you're gonna suck up what ever hatred you have for him and live with it." Paul warned.
"The hell I am! It's fucked up what he did to Leah and he's the one who took you two and Seth away from us so screw him I'd rather go to Seattle!" Collin yelled and walked out, slamming the door behind him.
"Collin!" I yelled after him, but it was no use, he was gone.
I looked over at Sam and noticed he didn't even look mad, just upset over what Collin said.
"You two feel the same?" Paul asked, glaring.
Brady and I looked at each other, having a silent conversation. Yes, we did feel the same, but we didn't want to go to Seattle and if living with Sam would stop us from doing that, then so be it.
Jared and Paul realized our decision, so it was set. Sam and Emily were going to get custody of us.
"Can we go now?" Brady asked. He was twitching since Collin left and he desperately wanted to go find him. I guess you could say they were like those twins that had that ESP thing going. They couldn't exactly read each others mind, but they could each feel when the other is upset or in danger and they didn't feel right until they find out if the other is okay. Kind of creepy, but very useful.
"Go." Jared sighed and we booked it out of there.
"What do you think?" Brady asked, leading us somewhere. Oh, yeah, they also tend to know how to find each other. That made hide and seek a bitch when we were kids.
"I don't know. I just don't want to go to Seattle."
"Yeah, me neither. Do you think they would let us stay at our own house?"
"That would make this a whole lot easier, but I think the social worker does like monthly check ups, so I don't think so."
"Damn." He sighed.
We ended up at the beach and found Collin sitting in the same spot Seth found me all those weeks ago. Apparently Collin and I had that in common.
"Maybe it won't be so bad man." Brady said, sitting next to him while I sat on the other side.
"I don't like him." He muttered.
"Neither do we, but I don't want to leave here. Maybe once the guys are 19 we could live with them, but they'll be over there all the time anyway." I tried to reason.
"That's not gonna matter. We're gonna live in that house and Paul and Jared are going to know that we're safe so they'll go back to ignoring us. And Seth! We're gonna have to see him everyday and he probably won't even look at us."
"You don't know that." I said miserably.
"Jessie," He sighed. "I know you think he'll stop ignoring us, but it took this to make Paul and Jared acknowledge us again. Just think, if this never happened then they may have never talked to us again."
"Collin you're being an asshole." Brady said.
"No, I'm telling the truth. You two need to realize this."
"So, you're saying it's a good thing my mom beat me or else Jared and Paul would have never found out and never talked to us again. Nice Collin." I stated angrily, then got up to walk off.
"Jessie, come on! I didn't mean it like that!" He shouted after me, but I ignored him and just kept walking into the woods.
I was walking deeper on the little path when I saw another fucking wolf. It looked different then the others though, this one was a sandy brown.
"Just great." I muttered, making the wolf's head snap towards me. "You know what, just kill me already! My life sucks so get it over with!"
The wolf just stood there starring at me, not making a single move.
"Hello! Look, I'm fresh meat, I bet I taste good." This wolf has got to be stupid, I'm offering myself and it's not doing anything.
"Fine! Be that way!" I yelled at it. God. I'm going crazy trying to make a wolf eat me. Who does that? I rolled my eyes at the wolf and started to back away slowly, then with my luck I managed to back right into someone.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Jessie! What the hell are you doing in the woods?" Paul asked.
"What?" I asked confused as I looked at him then at where the wolf used to be. "Oh, walking obviously."
"It's not safe here."
"What, is bambi gonna eat me?" I rolled my eyes. The wolfs sure aren't doing it.
"I'm not joking, let's go." He said, grabbing my arm and steering me out of the woods.
"Hello, I can walk myself." I yanked my arm away.
"When are you and the twins gonna stop this?" He asked aggravated.
"Stop what?"
"Well, you're being a bitch to us and those two are being assholes. Me and Jared are trying here, what else do you want?"
"Are you serious? You expect us to just forgive you two after you both ignored us for months! We needed you guys and you were off with Sam doing god knows what! So, I'm so sorry if we're being a little difficult." I yelled sarcastically.
"I am sorry and so is Jared, but we had no choice. I wish I could tell you why, but I just can't okay? You think we liked ignoring you guys, no we didn't and right now we're trying to make up for that. You just have to try too!"
"You may be sorry, but don't speak for Jared because he's not out here and after what he did, I don't think I could except it." I'm still not over him telling Kim what happened to me, so if I forgive Paul, Jared's gonna have to wait it out a bit.
"Come on, Jessie." He sounded like he was trying to defend Jared, but with my glare he stopped. "Okay, maybe he shouldn't have told her, but you can't hold that against him, it's his girlfriend."
"If that's his girlfriend then he should have told her all about River, but he didn't, instead he told her all about my personal life. So screw him." I scoffed and started walking again.
"Okay, yes he should have told her about River." He sighed aggravated. "You know what, can't you just forgive me and let him do this apology thing because apparently I'm not doing a very good job?"
"I don't know if I could forgive either of you." I said quietly. I heard him stop walking behind me.
"The house is right through there, stay out of the woods." He said and then he was gone.
Well, apparently we're hurting everyone's feelings today.
Please review!
