"Oh, this is a company that mostly does parental control things. So, they have it so the parents can check. But if you know how, you can delete everything in here. I learned a week after we got it." She said smugly and double clicked on the last date/time entry. The conversation, and proof, that they were looking for was theirs.
"Don't read it first, it's the one. Just print it. I think we've run low on time and I don't wanna chance it, you know?" Kay said and felt a flood of relief wash over her when she saw the piece of paper that had the conversation on it come through the printer. "Don't delete it."
"I wasn't going to. If mom and dad don't believe that the paper is really by him then it will at least give them the incentive to check it out for themselves." With that, Savannah logged off and the two went downstairs, the proof in Kay's hands.
No one was home yet and that was good. They still needed to go over what they were going to say. "I think I should talk first. One, they don't want to hear you, especially if Jake got to them first. Two, I need to tell them that I'm not sticking up for you just because. I'm doing it because I know you're innocent." Kay said and Savannah agreed.
When the front door opened, they were on the couch, waiting.
Chapter 25: For My Sister
Jake had found them after all because when Kevin and Lucy came into view, he was right behind them. He had a somber face on but when he caught view of his sisters, a quick grin came to his lips.
Kay had her legs up on the couch, spread so that they were over Savannah's. It was her way of protecting her older sister from their big bad parents. Savannah had her hand on Kay's ankle, telling her that they were in this together. When Lucy saw this it didn't surprise her as much as it would have if Jake hadn't talked to them earlier.
"Don't even try it, girls. Jake told us everything." She said and started walking into the kitchen.
"Op… I wouldn't do that if I were you, mom." Kay said, strangely confident. Her head was raised defiantly and her hands were wrapped around a white piece of paper.
"It's too late for threats," Jake said.
"It's not a threat." Savannah quipped and held her hand out for the paper. Kay handed it over without breaking her stare, as if it was rehearsed, and Savannah casually opened it up. Kevin, still angry but now curious, moved to side of the couch that they were sitting on. She cleared her throat in a dramatic manner and started to read using different voices signifying the two different people. "I have some info on someone and I want you to spread it around the school, using your comp, k? Who do you want to get? Is that any of your business, shitface? I didn't think so. Can you do it, or not? And the answer better not be not. Sure, I can do it. Just tell me what you want and I'll make sure that everyone in school knows by the end of the day tomorrow. And they won't be able to track it to either of us. Good, but make it by the morning." She looked up and saw the look in her father's eyes. He was shocked but she could tell that he wasn't necessarily convinced. "There's more here, including everything that was in the poster."
"That's bullshit! They made it up. I told you they were out to get me!" Jake screamed, frantically searching his parent's faces.
"Oh, if you don't believe it, then check his computer. Or you can call the help line of the IM company and ask them yourselves," Kay said matter-of-factly, meeting her eyes with Jake's. His pupils were tiny pricks of black, drawn back in their anger. She grinned, but never left her eyes wonder.
"We can show you," Savannah said and pushed Kay's legs off of her own. She got up and brushed passed her father. At the first step, she turned around and said quite bitterly, "Aren't you coming? Or do you still believe it was me, even though you have no proof?"
By then, Lucy had made her way into the living room. She was shocked, maybe more than her husband. The entire situation was starting to take its toll and she was starting to feel light-headed. She reached a hand out to the wall, but missed and since she hadn't any balance, she started to fall. Kevin saw it out of the corner of his eye, but wasn't quick enough to catch her. All he could do was race to her side as she hit the floor with a loud THUD.
"Mom!" Kay and Savannah said in unison and both ran to her. Only Jake stood where he was, looking down at his mother with a scared look in his eyes. While they were focused on her, he slowly made his way to the door. Carefully, he opened it without a sound and left.
She was only out for a few minutes, but it was long enough for Jake to get a good head start. With Jake out of the way, Savannah and Kay had the opportunity to tell their parents what really happened without him interrupting. They were skeptical at first, but after they looked at his computer, they finally understood.
"Oh Lord." Lucy said and heavily sat down on Jake's bed. She brought her hands to her face and began to cry. Seeing his wife's distress, Kevin gently laid a hand on her shoulder. When Kay caught a glimpse of his eyes, she saw that there was a gleam in them. A gleam he could only get from tears.
"Savannah," was the only thing he could say, but it expressed everything that needed to be said. He held out his arms, but Savannah held back.
"No," she said and felt a wetness sting her cheek. Her bitterness and sorrow escaped through her voice, "No, it's not that easy! You accused me of the unthinkable and you think that I'm just going to say 'Oh, all right. All better.' NO NO NO! YOU REALLY HURT ME! I mean, you yelled at me, you threatened to send me away to a… to a… camp or something because I hurt the family and you're the one that hurt us!"
Her words hung in the air. Kevin mouth was slightly parted. He wanted to something but he couldn't find the words. Before he could, Savannah ran from the room and they heard her door slam shut. Kay went for her, but Kevin grabbed her arm.
"No, I can't hear it right now. She needs me." And with that, she shook his hand off and went to her sister's door.
Savannah heard a knocking and was going to tell the person to go to hell, but she never got the chance. The door opened and through blurred eyes she made out her sisters form. A small smile came to her face but her eyes with still filled with pain. A day ago, I would have told her to get away from me, she mused.
"Hey." Kay said softly and closedthe door. Then she went to her sister's bed and laid on it, her upper half propped up by Savannah's swarms of pillows. She raised her arm and motioned for Savannah.
Although it felt weird, Savannah laid her head on Kay legs and began to sob. She felt Kay stroke her hair comfortingly and she was glad that they were finally sisters. For ten minutes, neither one of them spoke.
"They were just scared, Savannah." Kay finally said.
"What do you mean?" Savannah murmured and raised her head to look at her sister.
"I know what they were feeling. They were scared. Scared to death, actually. I think in their hearts they knew that it was him, but they couldn't bring themselves to face it. Why they blamed you, I not entirely sure, but they knew he was bad and they didn't want to admit that they had royally screwed up twice with their children." The brunette never looked the blonde in the eyes but she stared at the picture of a unicorn that was on the wall opposite her.
"Okay," Savannah said sternly, using her hands to push herself into a sitting position, "what did you mean by that?"
"What? They screwed up twice. Once with me and once with Jake." Kay said as if she were saying I really like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
"They didn't screw up with you!"
"So, I did it myself?"
"No! That's not what I meant." Savannah sat cross-legged next to her sister and looked at her. "You're not screwed up. You're just different. And different isn't a bad thing. I mean, okay, like Hilary Duff- don't make that face, just listen to me- is different compared to a lot of young celebrities. She's not drinking or partying or doing anything like that. And that's a good thing."
"Isn't she like, 17?" Kay asked.
"Yeah, doesn't mean that she couldn't do those things if she wanted to."
"But isn't she dating Joel Madden?"
"Well, kinda…"
"And isn't he like 25?"
"Well, yeah but… THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" Savannah said, annoyance in her tone but when she saw Kay grin she hit her in the arm.
"Ugh… what was that for?" Kay whined and began to rub the tender skin that was just hit. Savannah laughed. "I'm gonna bruise you know."
"Ha ha." Savannah said.
KNOCK KNOCK
"You have reached Savannah's room. No one is here right now, so if you leave your name, phone number and a brief message, afterthe tone, she'll get back to you right away." Kay said and used her fingers to count down from three. At one, both she and Savannah yelled BEEP.
"Funny, open the door." They heard their father say and Kay reluctantly got up and opened the door. "We need to talk."
"We did talk and we decided that you suck." Kay said and began to close the door.
Kevin stopped it with his hands and pushed his body into the open space of the doorframe. "Look. Your mother and I know what we made a mistake. A very big mistake. And if you can't forgive us for that mistake, then so be it. But there is something bigger than that we have to deal with. Jake is missing." Savannah and Kay exchanged worried glances. "We called everyone in the family and alerted them on what happened. If they see him, then they are going to call my cell. I don't think that you two should be left alone so you're coming with your mother and I to look for him. He didn't take his car, so it shouldn't be that hard."
Although neither of them wanted to go, they both got up and started down the hall with their father. They would go but they wouldn't like it. "Wait!" Savannah said and they turned to her. "Why do you think it's best we come? Is he dangerous?"
"Yeah, Dad." Kay agreed and looked for her fathers answer. He didn't say anything; he just continued down the hall and headed for the stairs. Terror crept into the sister's bones and they laced hands as they followed.
At the bottom step, Lucy waited. She had a blank expression on and Savannah truly felt sorry for her. This has been a pretty stressful day, she thought and gave her mother a small smile. True, she was still angry but they had all been through a lot and she knew it wasn't over just yet. "Not by a long shot."
"Hmm?" Kay said.
"Oh, nothing." And they continued to walk for the door.
Before they were outside, Kevin asked. "Do any of you have any idea where he could be?"
No one answer but suddenly, Kay untangled her fingers from Savannah's and raced upstairs. After a few minutes of confusion and worry from her family downstairs, she reappeared on the steps, holding a small black rectangle.
"What's that?" Lucy asked, peering at the object when her youngest daughter was at the bottom of the stairs.
Kay held the object up, chest level and said, "A very important resource and the name of a mildly successful movie starring Britney Murphy. This, my dear family, is Jake's Little Black Book."
Okay, I said hopefully by Tuesday, but it's boring when you have nothing else to do, you know? Yeah. I made it longer, or tried to, and I hope that I let out some suspense. But I also hope that I made more… hehe. Review please. And thanks everyone for thewell wishes! I feel better already!
