Chapter Three: Written by Ash

"What the hell are you talking about that I shot your father?" Bobby was now confused.

"He is my father, how stupid are you!" Shan yelled hitting the back of Bobby trying to get him to put her down.

"If he was your father he wouldn't off been acting that way towards you!" Bobby was shocked that someone could do that to there daughter. He was also pissed off at how she was reacting to this.

"If you don't put me down now I swear to god you are going to wish you did."

"Hey, one we don't swear to god, and second you are coming home with us." Bobby got in the car holding on to Shan so she couldn't take off from him. The whole way home she tried to get away from Bobby she would kick or hit him the best she could. It didn't take long until they was outside the house of Evelyn Mercer. Bobby got out of the car pulling Shan along with him. She looked up at the house, it was brown with a yellowish fount porch with lots of windows.

"I'm not fucking going in there, fuck that, fuck you let me go." Shan keep trying to pull away.

"Yes you are and watch your damn mouth little girl." Bobby wouldn't let go of her wrist. They walked in the house and you could smell food. It smelled so good to Shan because she was staving and hadn't ate anything in a while. The house was full of pictures of the boys, and you could tell there mother was a older lady with how she decorated everything. They stood in the living room witch was full of books. The was a fire place and a small fire going keeping the room so warm almost inviting. Shan could hear the sound of someone whistling and moving pots and pans around.

"Ma, can you come in here please?" Jack yelled out to her.

"One second Jackie." A voice came from the kitchen. It didn't take long and in walked a old lady with white hair. It wasn't to short but was a little curly. She looked about 62 years old.

"Ma this is Shan, we found her running the streets tonight. Shan this is our mother Evelyn" The older women held out her hand to the young girl.

"Nice to meet you Shan, care to tell me what you are doing out this time of night?" Shan shook Evelyn's hand but shook her head no.

"It's alright Shan, you can tell her anything." Jack added in to help Shan feel more comfy around his mother.

"How about you boys go get cleaned up for dinner while Shan and I have a little talk." The boys all left the room. "Now sweetie I know something bad happened out there tonight so why don't you tell me." Shan was still a little unsure about telling this strange women anything but something about her made her feel a little safe.

"Well I was running away from home, when your son hit me with the car." Shannon swallowed hard looking down at the floor.

"It's alright you can tell me."Evelyn said waiting for her to finish.

"I ran in the alley to get away from your sons when my father came out no where and grabbed me from behind. He said some things to me, and I knew he was pissed because I ran away from him and stole his gun. That was when Bobby shot him. At first I though it was me who was shot but it was my father." Shan was now in tears.

"Honey it sounds like your father was a bad man."

"Yeah, but he is the only family I have left. I have no where to go."

"How about you get cleaned up I have some extra clothing up stairs for you that should fit then we will get some food in you. Then we can talk about where you are going to go from here." Evelyn took Shan upstairs to get her some clean clothes. Shan walked in the bathroom to take a shower. The water felt so good on her skin. She almost didn't want to get out until someone knocked on the bathroom door.

"I'll be out in a minute." She said turning off the water.

"Dinner is done so come down to eat soon as you are done." She heard Bobby's voice outside the door. Shan walked down steps to find the guys and Evelyn all at the dining room table waiting for her. Once Shan made it out to the table Evelyn had everyone stand up for a pray before eating. "Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, thank you for this day. Thank you for this food we're about to receive and thank you for bringing us together. Amen."

"Amen" All the boy repeated together. They all sat back down and started to eat. No one talked at first but Evelyn figured she would start up a conversation.

"I was thinking Shan can stay here for a while. It would be best for her because I don't want to see her living out on the streets."

"Yeah, Ma that's a great idea." Jack said smiling at her. Shan wasn't sure but she had plans on sneaking out once everyone was asleep. Bobby looked over at her to see she hadn't touched much on her plate.

"You don't have to be shy in the Mercer home. Plus you need to eat a little more." Bobby said putting more food on her plate.

"Eat up, no one here is going to judge you."Evelyn told her.

"Thanks." Shan slowly started to eat her food. It didn't take long until everyone had there plate cleaned.

"You can all go in and watch the game while I clean up." All the boys got up from the table but Shan figured she should stand and help Evelyn. "You can go join the boys if you would like."

"No, I want to help I don't mind. After all it is the least I can do since you are giving me a place to stay, clean clothes and food."

"It is no problem at all." Shan and Evelyn started to clean up.
