I saw Ellie running up the road as I cleared the front door, my dad was already chasing her, if we both went the confrontation would be too much for her.
I walked back inside to my worried mother.
"What happened?" She asked as I sat down, I was still gasping for breath.
"Something Tyler said upset Ellie." Troy answered for me.
My Mom looked at him; obviously surprised he was there.
"Back again after everything?" She asked half-heartedly, I could tell she was worried about Ellie.
"I'm in a whole righting my wrongs kinda mood," He explained, he knew my mom was easier to get round than Tyler, especially when she was worried about something other than me.
Mom nodded and looked out of the window.
"Dad won't bring her back straight away," I pointed out, "he'll try and talk to her and bring her back when she won't co-operate."
"I know Gabi, but I can't help hoping, can you tell me what Tyler said?" She questioned.
"Ellie was talking about things her mom said, and Tyler said her mom's not around anymore so what she said isn't important," I willingly told, I was angry at my brother right now, for his treatment of Ellie and Troy, what gave him the right to talk to them like that.
"He really said that?" My mom asked for confirmation.
"Yeah, he said it, it really upset her." I confirmed.
"I don't know what's got into him recently, he's acting like he really does hate her, you know, like he's resented her since the day she arrived here." Mom sighed.
"It's Brent he hates." I told her. "Always has always will, just wants to get at him."
"That doesn't make sense Gabi, Brent's dead" Mom pointed out.
"I don' think Tyler cares." I answered.
"I think I just made him mad, Mrs. Montez, he didn't seem happy that I was here." Troy defended my brother.
"Can you blame him, after what you did to Gabi a few weeks ago, Tyler doesn't trust you around her and I don't think he will again, but it's not up to him or me, it's up to her so I'm going to accept that she wants you in her life, that doesn't mean Tyler will." Mom told him firmly.
Short I know, but have you seen the update for my other story, that took a while, I will hopefully have a longer update tomorrow, depends on how school goes, hopefully I won't have tons of homework.
