Chapter Nine

The beeping sound of my alarm clock woke me up and I rolled by head back into my white pillow not wanting to get up. Like my brothers, however the alarm clock just got louder and I could feel my hand pressing it down before my parents came barging into the room complaining about the noise.

"You're so ugly Erin!" I remembered the 'popular girls' in my class laughing at me on Friday when I walked into class. "Ugly, ugly Erin!" They had continued to laugh. I told them to stop but it did not seem to work and I had never been a victim of bullying before; not until this, year and it had been getting worse everyday. "Maybe if I look prettier." I smiled at my conclusion as I brushed my long curly brown hair and tried to put it into braids. The ponytail I could do but the braids were harder. Changing into my uniform, I did what the popular and older girls did; I rolled it up so it was short; very short. Next, I decided to roll up my top as other girls did and put on lip-gloss. Sighing I tried to braid my hair again but to no avail. "Mom!" I called as I walked out of my room. "Danny!" I shot my older brother an annoyed look as he stepped in front of me.

"Your hair's a mess!" He sniggered after me.

Inwardly sighed "You're never going to have a girlfriend." I informed him as my mother came out of my youngest brother's room. She approached me and took the red ribbons out of my hair quickly putting the ponytails into braids before she informed me that my kilt was to long and I looked to grown up. I wanted to argue I really did but admitting I liked it would make my mother suspicious and that was the last thing I wanted. My mother did not need to know I was being bullied or that every girl in my class (expect for two) seemed to hate me. I walked back into my room and did what my mother told me to. If my parents had taught my brothers and I anything, it was that we listen to adults and authority figures including my oldest brother Danny when he was in charge. As I changed my appearance into something more suitable for a girl my age to be wearing, I shivered at the thought my older brother babysitting me. After was sure my mother would approve of my school uniform I walked out of my room and swung my backpack over my shoulder as I ran downstairs flying past Danny as I went.

After I had made my lunch and grabbed an apple for breakfast, I rushed outside to catch my bus my eight-year-old brother Joe behind me. "Good Morning;" I greeted out bus driver. "Jamie's sick and Danny's-"

"Danny's suspended." Joe finished for me as he finally made it onto the bus.

"Joe;" I scolded my younger brother as I made sure he was all right before I walked into the middle of the bus where my best friend Sarah was sitting. "Hi;" I sat down beside her.

"Hey!" My best friend smiled back her long blonde hair sweeping over her shoulders. "So tell me everything that happened last night." She asked desperately for details of the latest Reagan Sunday dinner.

"Well-" I began but then stopped suddenly. "I should wait for Maddie." I remembered that Madison got on at a latter stop. I had only know Madison for two months since she was a transfer student that came in the beginning of January on the first day of school. What I did know I liked however and the fact that her father just happened to me a NYPD detective after being transferred from Jersey helped my case tremendously when I wanted to invite her over for my birthday party.

"Madison or 'Maddie' as she let Sarah and I call her walked on the bus twenty minutes into my bus ride. After she transferred her stop was added making her our last stop which meant she didn't get to choose where she sat on are bus which was usually packed. Today her auburn hair was a mess and she was limping and holding her arm as she walked onto the bus ignoring everybody's warding eyes.

"I'm not Police Officer but I'd say she's had to many injuries since she came here." Sarah whispered in my ear as we watched Maddie slowly sit down in the seat a few rows in front of us. "You should tell your Dad, or your Grandfather or one of your Uncles or even Danny."

"No!" I repeated for what seemed like the one-hundredth time. "We need to trust her she's our friend if something was wrong she'd tell us."

"Erin I don't think she'd tell us if her parents were hurting her." Sarah informed me of what I already knew as kids grades J-K to Eight pilled off the bus.

"Don't say that!" I hissed into her ear as we final made it off the bus and met up with Maddie. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Oh I tripped and fell down the stairs." Maddie told us and I didn't want to let my mind think that her responses did seem a little to easy or that she had tripped and fallen almost three times a week this mouth alone.

After playing outside for a little under half an hour, it was time to go inside for school to start. The popular girls in my class named Ashley, Kelly and Sami all walked up to me their black heels clicking as they walked.

"Hey Reagan!" Ashley started the tormenting as I turned and walked towards my desk. "Hey Reagan!" She yelled louder. "Erin Reagan you ugly-" She stared yelling when our teacher Mrs. St. Peter walked into the room.

"Ms. Randal I believe calling somebody that word gets you a trip to the Principals office."

"Erin was making fun of me!" Ashley lied to try to get me in trouble as well. "She was bragging about her family."

Mrs. St. Peter's looked at me and studied my face it was no secret, to anybody, that she was a very strict teacher, but I thought, she was fair, at least I hoped she was.

"I don't believe Ms. Reagan would do a thing like that." She concluded. "Now get out of my classroom and go to the principals office and if I find out that you skipped young lady I'll have you held back a year.

Ashley turned and glared at me before she turned and stormed out of our classroom.

"Now the rest of you take your seats!" Mrs. St. Peater's yelled at as we all scrambled to our seats.


"Hey Reagan!" I heard my last name being called as I walked in the hallway towards the chapel for Mass "Hey Reagan!" The voices got louder as I finally turned my head and looked.

"Hey Reagan." Two of Danny's 'groupies' fell into step with me. "What's up?" They asked swinging their arms around my shoulder.

"You will be if you don't stop touching me." I informed them as I took both their hands off my shoulders

"That's not very nice Erin;" Davey said as he touched my arm again.

"I said leave me alone!" My voice grew louder drawing teachers attention. "Don't you know we're going to Mass?" I asked them disgusted as an older girl who I had never met before approached as after having talked briefly to Danny's teacher.

"Mrs. Coburn wants to talk to you to." She told Dave M. and Davey.

"Tattle tail Kristen." Davey pulled my hair before he and Dave M. left.

"I'm Kristen you must be Erin Reagan. I'm in your older brother's class." Kristen smiled her bright blue eyes making me feel comfortable.

"Thank." I smiled shaking her hand. "It's nice to meet you." I smiled as I looked ahead and saw my class walking into the chapel. "I should probably go my teachers going be looking for me;" I told the older girl.

"I'll go with you." Kristen smiled. "My teacher said it was okay."

"Thanks." I smiled as I followed the older girl into the Chapel.


"Erin what's going on?" Maddie asked me as both she and Sarah looked at me. In one hour, our elementary school had been filled with police cars and police officers plus one ambulance.

"I don't know." I answered honestly. "Just because I'm Reagan you think I know everything." I asked somewhat annoyed.

"You do know everything and you are a Reagan." Sarah told me.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but is one of you Erin Reagan?" A young looking officer with short light brown hair asked as I gulped back fear and started looking around for Joe.

"Yes sir." I answered. "Is everything okay? Is my Dad okay? What about Grandpa or-"

"Your father and the Commissioner are both fine." The officer reassured me. "I just need to talk to you for just a second." He explained. "You too must be Sarah McIver and Madison Livingston correct." He looked at Sarah and Maddie.

"Yes sir I'm Maddie." Maddie slowly spoke up.

The young police officer nodded his head as he motioned for an older looking lady and Captain to approach.

"Sir this is Madison Livingston." He explained.

"Thank you Jackson." The Captain nodded his head. "Come on kiddo everything's going to be okay." The Captain placed his hand on Maddie's shoulder as the young girl lowered her head and followed the Captain and older lady away.

"Sir what's going on?" I asked. "You know you can't question her without an adult right?"

"Calm down little Reagan;" Officer Livingston smiled as he looked at me. "Your friend is going to be okay."

"That's what you keep saying but I want to know why." I told him.

"Look-just-I don't know how to say this." He shook his head as the bell rang singling that we needed to be in class. "Just both of you go to class;" He stood up and waved us both away as he followed orders and ran back to class.

After having the incident with the Police Officer I wasn't able to concentrate at school; my teacher however didn't get mad at me though she just let me be and that's why I knew something bad happened with Maddie. She never came back to class. Maybe her parents were hurting her. Her father was a police officer though. To be it just did not make any sense. As soon as Joe and I stepped off our bus and unto or driveway I started crying; all the emotion I has been feeling all day just came out and I ran into the house and straight into my mothers arms.

"Erin sweetie sit down." My mother instructed me after she had told Danny to take Joe outside. "Your father told me today and told me about what happened at your school today."

"The police were there." I told her. "The officer who talked to me wouldn't tell me what was going on."

"No he didn't and that was good of him. Listen Erin your friend Maddie her mother died today and-"

"Does her father know?" I asked. "Is he on shift today? Did-"

"Erin sweetheart Madison's father-he uh killed her mother."

"What?" I asked tears in my eyes. "Why would he do something like that? He's a police officer!" I cried.

"I don't know why sweetie but Madison is going to be to a safe place and she's going to be alright." My mother told me as she did something she rarely did anymore picked me up.

"Your father and I love you so much." She told me.

"I love you to Mommy!" I cried.
