Chapter 3
Reina sighed at the glares she was getting from girls as she walked hand in hand with her brother to her dorm room. She took her key out unlocking it and walked in seeing her two roommates there. All the dorms had been taken, besides the one bed in Kira's room, and they'd put Cashleigh there much to Reina's dislike, and put a bed in another dorm room so she could stay at the dorms. "Hi." She said to her two roommates.
"Hi." The blonde said frowning a little seeing her new roommate already holding hands with Reid. "You work fast. Especially to get a son of Ipswich.
The other ebony haired girl looked up frowning from where she sat at her desk typing a report on her laptop.
Reid smirked. "Hello Kate, Sarah. You didn't tell me you we're rooming with them."
"I hadn't had time to yet with everything." Reina frowned looking at the girls, and she sighed going and grabbing a duffle bag throwing some clothes in it. "I have to go home for a few days. I don't know when I'll be back for sure." She told her roommates.
"Is something wrong?" Sarah asked in concern still frowning.
"I'd rather not talk about it." Reina sighed grabbing a few bra's and underwear dropping one on the floor.
Reid groaned. "God I don't want to see you're underwear."
Sarah and Kate looked at Reid in shock. He didn't want to see underwear? Since when?
Reina laughed grabbing the underwear and stuffing it in her bag. She went over getting her lap top. "Get used to it Reid. They'll be in the clothes hamper from now on."
Reid groaned again grimacing. "Oh god no."
"What's going on here?" Kate frowned. "You're acting like she's you're sister Reid."
Sarah looked between Reina and Reid.
Reid laughed looking at Reina. "Damn you didn't think she was my girlfriend did you?"
"Well you we're holding hands when you came in." Sarah frowned.
Reina laughed looking at her brother.
"Did you not tell them you're last name Reina?" Reid sighed.
"No." Reina grinned at him.
Reid groaned yet again. "This is my twin sister Reina Garwin." He told Sarah and Kate.
Sarah raised an eyebrow looking between the two of them.
Kate frowned. "Since when do you have a sister? I've known you for almost five years now, and you nor the others have ever mentioned it. Not even Pogue."
Reina frowned at her brother. "We're you that pissed at me for leaving?"
"No!" Reid told her. "It was painful to talk about her. The guys and I don't even talk about them."
"Them?" Kate frowned wondering where this side of Reid had come from.
Sarah looked at Reid.
Reina looked down at the floor as her tears threatened again.
"Yes them. Not my place to tell you about the other sister." Reid told them as he went over hugging his sister. "I understood why you went Reina. It hurt all the same though. You're back now. We have a lot of catching up on to do. A few emails a week and chatting don't cut it."
Reina cried a little into her brother. "I'm sorry Reid. We better go there waiting on us."
Reid nodded. "See you later girls." He pulled away from his sister grabbing her bags, and put an arm around her walking out with her.
Kate and Sarah looked at one another speechless.
Tyler sat the box down by his hummer, and opened the passenger side back door for Pogue who climbed in still holding Cashleigh to him. He shut the door, going to the back and opening it up putting Cashleigh's stuff in. He left it open for Reina's stuff as he climbed in the driver's seat, and he turned to look at Cashleigh. "Will she ever be the same again?" He asked.
"Probably not the same baby boy, but she'll come around. We just need to be there for her." Pogue told him as he looked down at Cashleigh.
Tyler nodded. "I'd like to kill whoever done it to her."
"So would I Tyler." Pogue frowned.
Reid and Reina walked to the Hummer with his arm around her and she laid her head on his shoulder leaning on him a little. She ignored the dirty looks she was getting from every girl that they passed. Reid put her stuff in the back of the Hummer before helping her in the driver's side in the back oblivious to the dirty looks she was getting. His mind was on his sister. He was never letting her go again. He shut the door going around and getting in the front passenger side.
Tyler looked at him a little in shock that he wasn't fighting to be in the driver's seat.
"Are you something of a ladies man or something around here Reid?" Reina finally asked as Tyler pulled out of the parking spot.
Pogue and Tyler laughed a little. "That's an understatement."
"He's more of the gets…Owww!" Tyler cried as Reid hit him. "What the hell was that for?"
Reid moved his eyes in the direction of his sister frowning at Tyler.
Reina frowned. "Reid?"
Reid sighed turning to look at her. "I…" He didn't really want to tell her.
Pogue frowned. "One night stand guy. Every night of the week." He sighed when Reid turned and glared at him.
Reina looked away from her brother looking out the window. The brother she remembered would never have done that.
"How we deal with hurt sis, is different for everyone. I got a reputation for being a bad-ass. I sleep with every girl I meet. It was easier for people to have people see me like that instead of how I was hurting." Reid told her as he let a few tears stray.
Reina cried as she looked at him. "I'm sorry Reid."
"It's not you're fault sis. It's Evelyn Danvers." Reid told her as he reached back taking her hand in his and holding it.
Tyler glanced at Pogue in the rear view mirror frowning. He saw Pogue shake his head a little at him.
Caleb pulled up to the Garwins being met by Reid's father. He was surprised by the hug Joseph Garwin gave him, and he returned it. "You're father called me. He's worried about you. You're to stay here till we know you're mothers gone for sure. He doesn't want you at the mansion alone either. I figure you'll be staying at the dorms with Pogue then. On the weekends we want you here though son." Joseph told him.
Caleb cried a little into him wishing his father still looked as young as Reid's father. He pulled away as he heard someone pulling in and he looked to see it was Tyler's Hummer. He turned away wiping his tears away quickly. He didn't want them to see the pain he was in.
Reina smiled a little at Reid as they pulled up to their home. She got out of the Hummer as Reid let her hand go. She was engulfed in somebody's arms as she stepped out. Surprised she realized it was Caleb, and she hugged him back.
"I'm sorry about earlier Reina." Caleb told her holding her tight to him. "I was wrong. I never thought my mother was capable of what she done. She was though. I want to thank you for taking care of my baby sister."
Reid had gotten out and opened the door for Pogue, and shut it behind him after he got out carrying Cashleigh toward the house. He went around the Hummer then smiling a little as he heard Caleb.
Tyler climbed out watching the exchange smiling.
"You're welcome Caleb. I was where I was supposed to be. She wouldn't have made it without me." Reina told him knowing that he had no idea what they'd gone through, and wasn't ready for him to know yet.
Joseph smiled at his son as he put an arm around him. "We better head inside now. I told Pogue to put Cashleigh in the red room. Her favorite color was always red as I remember." He looked behind him then hearing someone pull in the long drive. He saw it was Glenn and Wayne.
Tyler sighed a little seeing his father pull in. "Is there a meeting or something?"
Reid looked over seeing the other two fathers, and frowned a little.
Caleb let go of Reina smiling at her, and she smiled back.
"Have a new girlfriend?" Wayne asked not recognizing Reina.
Tyler laughed a little hearing him.
Reina blushed.
Reid growled a little. "Dude that's my sister!"
Joseph laughed grinning. "Wayne, Glenn, you remember my daughter Reina?"
Caleb smirked a little looking at her blush.
Wayne laughed. "This is Reina? Sorry about that sweetie."
"Hello Reina." Glenn smiled at her.
"Hello." Reina smiled back at them.
"Let's head inside." Joseph smirked as he put his other arm around Reina, keeping his other around Reid as he walked toward the house.
Glenn looked at Tyler. "You all right son?"
"I'm fine dad. Just worried about Cashie." Tyler told him wondering if he knew, and by his father's look he could tell he did. He leaned into his father as he put an arm around him heading toward the house.
Wayne looked at Caleb who was watching the other boys go with envy. "You're father loves you and Cashleigh more than anything. Look down the drive." He watched the boy turn and see a car driving in.
Caleb paled as he watched Gorman get out of the car, and then go back and help his father out. "Dad?" He said barely above a whisper. His father looked a little younger if that was possible. He saw Gorman help him into a wheel chair and wheel William over to his son and Wayne.
"I couldn't stay away any longer. I'll be staying here." William smiled at his son.
Caleb bit his lip to keep from crying as he reached out taking his father's hand, and walked along side of him as Gorman wheeled him into the house.
Wayne smiled following them.
