Ok people I've gotten a couple of story alerts and that's all fine and dandy but I also really like reviews and I'm sad because I really don't have any. So please review even if you tell me something you don't like…though I like it when you like it too….
REVIEW!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Now on with the story.
The next morning Regen received a call from her dad. He said that he wanted her to come down to the police station with him and her soon to be ex stepmother and Reid. They were going to prosecute Melanie Edwards for child abuse.
After the call Regen woke Reid up who happened left her room last night. "Hey" She said once he finally opened his eyes, "Will you go to the police station with me?" She asked softly.
"Of course no need to wake me up to ask." Reid asked as he closed his eyes again so he could fall asleep.
"Well actually we have to be there in like an hour so I'm going to take a quick shower and the get dressed. I'll meet you in here in about 30 minutes, ok?" Regen asked.
"Ok fine." He responded as he literally rolled off the bed. "I'm going to take a shower too. Wanna conserve water and shower together." Reid asked suggestively while wiggling he's eyebrows.
"You wish." Regen said as she grabbed her shower stuff and walked out of the room towards the girls' showers.
--------------
Regen took a quick shower and was almost finished drying her hair when there was a knock on her door and Reid walked in.
"So I see you're almost ready." He said, as she turned off the hair dryer.
"Well physically yes mentally not so much. What if she says she didn't do it and they believe her?" Regen asked with a scared look on her face.
"They won't cause I'll tell them all I know and what I've seen. Everything is only going to get better from here." Reid said with a smile as he hugged her.
If only he knew how wrong he was
--------------
The day was long and full of questions but Reid was with her most of the time never really leaving her side unless he was told to. Regen's stepmother was now in custody and held with 20,000-dollar bail that no one seemed willing to give her. She was going to be in jail for a while.
It was Sunday night and Regen was tired and she didn't want to go to school. She learned that instead of having to go through a long divorce that he father could just file without having her stepmother sign because of what she did to Regen. Melanie would also get nothing from the divorce, which is exactly what Regen thought she deserved.
All day long they had asked the same questions over and over, and then they took pictures of the scars and bruises she had. She felt so vulnerable then but afterwards Reid took her to the TCBY in Ipswich and bought her her favorite kind of ice cream. That had made her feel a little better.
Reid asked if she wanted him to stay over but then she say another girl wink at Reid. Typical thought Regen as Reid smirked at the girl who was heading in the direction of his dorm room. She said it was fine and sent him on his way to have some fun with someone who wasn't her. 'Wait a minute did I just think that?' She thought to herself before she physically shook her head and walked into her dorm. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
---------------
It had been 2 weeks since that Sunday and Regen was glad that everything was almost over. Her father had gotten the divorce from Melanie finalized the day before so that bitch couldn't ever get her hands on anything that belong to the Edwards again.
It was a boring Monday morning except for the fact that Mr. Edwards wasn't there. He had to go down and sort out the payment for his lawyer, which apparently could only be done at 8:30 on a Monday morning, which was normally Mr. Edwards' busiest day in school.
Classes seemed to go by rather quickly today, before she knew it, it was Math the last class before lunch. Regen found herself to be rather hungry and math wasn't very distracting especially because they were talking about pi today.
About half way through the class an office attendant walked in and gave the teacher a note. The teacher looked upset as he read the not and then looked at Regen. "Miss Edwards you are wanted in the office." Regen looked at Reid before walking out of the room. IT was weird cause normally when Regen was called to the office the teachers would always say, "Your father wants to see you" or something like that.
Math ended and Regen still had not returned from the office. Reid picked her books up that she had left in class and took them with him to lunch to see if he could find here. He looked all over but never saw her. He was just about to leave the cafeteria to look in the dorms when the secretary came over the intercom.
"Attention students, the rest of classes from today are canceled but after dinner tonight there will be an assembly. If you live off campus please come at 8 o'clock tonight. That is all" Then the intercom shut off. What was going on? Classes were never canceled not even for snow. Something had to be really wrong.
Reid just shook it off for the moment. The most important thing right then to him was finding Regen. He went back to the dorms and went to Regen's dorm. He knocked on her door but no one answer. Reid listened for a second and he could here someone crying in her room. This was strange, he had only seen Regen cry on few occasions and normally it was cause of her stepmother but that was all over now. So what was the problem?
Reid knocked again and called out, "Regen It's me Reid. Let me in please." He heard movement and then the door opened a crack. He could see only the side of her face but it was enough to see that she had been crying. Once Regen confirmed that it was Reid she opened the door for him to walk in. When the door was closed Regen threw herself at Reid. He was surprised by this but hugged her back anyways.
"Rain, What's wrong?" He asked using his nickname from Regen. "Why didn't you come back to class? Don't worry though classes have been canceled for the rest of the day, though there is an assembly after dinner." Reid explained as he pulled back a little to look at her.
"He's dead." She said after she choked on another sob.
"What? Who's dead?" Reid asked in confusion.
"My dad. When he was coming back from the lawyer he got into a car accident. They saw he just lost control of his car. That's why classes are cancelled and why there is an assembly." Regen sniffled before she buried her head into Reid's chest as he held her close.
Reid managed to sit them on the bed as she continued to cry. He held her close and wished he could take the pain away from her but even with his powers he could. After awhile Regen calmed down but would still sniffle every once in a while.
"Ok I'm just gunna go…." Reid started but was cut off by Regen
"No you can't leave me, not even for a minute. What if something happened to you? You're the closest thing I have to family now. I can't loose you too." She cried as she pulled him into a hug.
"Well I was just going to get food but I guess we'll just call Papa John's for pizza and have it delivered to your dorm." With that Reid flipped open his phone, "Hawaiian right?" He smirked a little at her and she nodded. It was her favorite and he knew that.
-------
After they ate Regen cried a little more. For heavens sake her dad just died so she was entitled to cry all she wanted. Then she changed into a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. She didn't wear a bra to bed and would have normally been a little self-conscious about her prev of a best friend there but she knew he wouldn't say anything tonight and she didn't care.
She laid down on her stomach and Reid laid beside her. He rubbed her back in calming circular motions under her shirt. This seemed to lure Regen into a deep sleep. Even with her asleep Reid never left the room. He only go up to use the bathroom and takeoff his pants and shirt leaving him in his boxers before he laid down beside Regen again.
Ok so that's chapter four so people I hoped you liked it and remember review. I'm gunna turn into one of those people who say I won't update until I get reviews.
