Alex's P.O.V.
I looked over my shoulder at the woman who addressed me. I could see a light gleam in her chocolate colored eyes. She was Cody's sister? I didn't realize that he had one. While I was waiting, Sam had decided to go home, Felicity going along with her as support.
"Michelle wanted to show Cody a magic trick. You're his sister? What's your name."
"Ashley. And I'm assuming that you're Alex?"
"That's right," I nodded at the lady before noticing the four behind her, "Allen? What are you and the kid doing here?"
"Leading her to Cody," Rod answered, "She was looking for him. Here he comes now."
"Who's this?" the brunette and Michelle walked over to us, since they were handcuffed together, "I haven't seen her around here."
"I forgot that you have amnesia," Ashley huffed, "I'm your sister. Ashley."
"Sister? I guess I hit my head or something if I don't remember something big like that."
"Can I leave now?" Neil looked annoyed, "I have to go back to work. And you too Rod."
"I know," the pet seller frowned, "We will have to speak later."
"Alright," The siblings nodded before turning back to each other. I went over to where my husband was waiting and grabbed Alison from him. The child chuckled as I held her.
"New person Mommy."
"I know, Ali," I looked up at my husband, "Shouldn't you be working today as well?"
"I was taking a break and picked up the child," Allen shrugged, keeping his eyes on Cody, glaring all the while, "I don't trust that one at all. Let's take the child and leave."
"We don't have to go yet."
"Well I am," the stylist grabbed Alison and walked out of the restaurant, slightly slamming the door shut. I stood frozen. What in the world was into him?
"He didn't look very happy," Michelle stated, "I wonder what happened."
"I don't know," Cody's face darkened, "But I guess there's nothing to do about it."
"I suppose," Ashley sighed, "I'll be around town if he tries anything."
"I'll talk to him," I reassured them, "So what is this amazing trick Michelle?"
"Ohh, right," the magician giggled, "I'll try to free myself without using my hands."
"What in the hell is your problem?" I snapped at my husband as soon as I got home. I ended up staying at the restaurant until Michelle finished her magic show. It was interesting watching Cody and Michelle dancing around their feelings. Ashley didn't talk much, but kept a close eye on her brother. It was actually quite sweet.
"What do you mean?"
"You keep being rude to Cody."
"I don't trust him at all."
"Would it hurt you to try?" I complained, "Would you have liked to be treated like that when you moved here?"
"That's different."
"Not really. He's done nothing wrong to anyone."
"You're too damn trusting. What if he ends like being like Justin? You remember the drama he caused. Both of us almost got killed."
"Justin has nothing to do with this. I trust him. Is it too hard to be nice?"
"Alex," he crossed his arms and glared at me, "I don't like him and that's that."
"Fine," I spat, "You hypocrite."
"So what if I am? At least I'm being smart about this."
"You're such a dick," I got up, "I'm going to Sam's."
"Fine. See if I care," he turned away from me, "Don't expect me to get along with him. And don't blame me when you get hurt."
I stomped out of the house, my boots crunching the grass under me as I left the farm in a huff. Sam's place would be the only place for me to go so that I can calm down. My best friend was really good at making me feel better.
