Greg's Pov

My father was working out in our gym/wrestling room. I decided to go keep him company. I walked out into the garage. I found my dad benchpressing.

"Dad when are you going back to Kentucky?" I asked

"In about 2 weeks" he replied "why"

"Because I want to go with you I have some friends that live in Louisville that I want to visit" I lied

"Ok yeah sure you can come" he said

"Cool" I said

"Are you ok?" he asked

"Yeah I'm fine" I replied "why do you ask?"

"Because you look like you have something on your mind" he said

"Nope, I'm fine" I lied. I wanted to tell him the truth so badly but I couldn't I didn't want to put him in anymore danger. I knew that if my parents knew I had seen Amelia or what she wanted me to do they would stop me and I had no doubt that her threat to kill my family was real. This was the first time I have ever felt like I was loved in my whole life. A friend of mine once wrote 'cuts may heal but scars never fade'. I feel like I'm scarred all over I can never truly be myself around anyone even my family I was Andrew too long the damage has already been done and it can never be reversed.

I walked back into the house. Kira was sitting in the livingroom waiting for me. She got up and pulled me into her room.

"Where the hell where you today?" she asked

"I had stuff to take care of" I said. It killed me to be so blunt with her because we were so close but like I said it was for her own safety. I was scared to death about doing this alone but she couldn't get involved it was better this way.

"Are you in trouble?" she asked

I thought for a minute. "No" I said

"Greg I'm worried about you" she said

"Don't be I'm fine" I replied

"No you aren't you may be able to fool mom and dad but you can never fool me, I know you don't want to tell me what's the matter but just know I'm here if you ever wanna talk" she said

"Ok thanks now can I borrow your math notes" I remarked.

She sighed and threw her notebook at me.

"You are so lucky you missed" I said

"And if it hadn't" she countered

"Then I would seriously have to be your ass down" I said

"You wouldn't dare" she said

I started moving closer to her. I had no intention of hurting her I just like to freak her out.

"Greg if you don't get away from me I will scream" she said

"Go ahead" I said with a laugh.

"Gregory I'm serious" she said

"So am I" I said continuing to get closer.

"Ok you win" she said. I backed off.

"Of course I do" I said picking up the notebook and leaving the room.

"Spaz" she yelled as she slammed her door.
