Because Of You

Again, sorry for not updating… Original Disney Characters Are Not Mine


Chapter 4:

The restraining order didn't seem to faze Tanner's confidence. He stayed just the required 200 feet away, survieling them intently.

"He still out there?" Keely asked, cradling Lucky in her arms as she walked downstairs one morning, a week later.

Phil nodded. "Yup. Should we start keeping the girls home?" he suggested.

Keely shrugged. "As paranoid as we may sound, I think that's a good idea. We don't know what he's capable of. Ten years in prison probably made him worse."

"Are they still asleep?"

"Yeah." She told him. "But Rai'll be up soon."

That theory was proven correct when Raileigh hopped down the stairs. "Morning mom, dad." She greeted, hugging them both.

"Raileigh, we think you Kaylee and Kaycee should stay home today." Phil said, his gaze returning to the window he'd been watching Tanner through.

His daughter moved to stand beside him. "Cause of him?" she asked.

"Yeah, and don't go outside without one of us. Okay?"

She nodded running back upstairs to go play. "I promise!" she called back to them.

They nodded. "I'm gonna run to the store, we're out of pancake mix." Phil said, grabbing his jacket.

"Times like these I miss your spray food…" she smiled. They'd finished that a few years back.

He smiled back giving both her and Lucky a kiss before heading out the door.

"Nice family, Diffy." Tanner called to him.

Phil waved the piece of paper at him "Sorry, can't hear you…" he teased, walking away.

"That scrap of paper keeps me 200 feet away from you. Not make me mute." The convict replied.

Phil scoffed. "Doesn't mean I can't ignore you!"


I know… that was short and I'm sorry but I have nooooo idea where I'm going with this and I promised that I'd update and that was longer than the last chapter…
