Chapter 3

It was a Saturday morning and Kasey was very quiet. She normally isn't that loud but Dynasty had noticed a change in her. She went to Barry's room to try and get him to help her talk to her.

"Baz, I think something's wrong with Kacey. She's unusually quiet today and is just staying in her room." Dynasty said.

Barry looked up. "Maybe she just wants some peace or isn't feeling well." He replied.

"Please can you come and talk to her with me?" Dynasty asked.

Barry huffed getting up. "Fine!"

They both went to Kacey's room, who was lying on her bed with her phone.

"Kac? Are you ok? You don't seem yourself today..." Dynasty said.

"I'm fine." Kacey replied.

"You're clearly not. Your sister's worried so just tell us so I can get back to my computer game." Barry said.

"Oh just leave me alone!" Kacey snapped and got up, running past both of them downstairs and into the garden.

Kacey went and sat in the little shed at the end of the garden just staring at her phone. Not only had her dad contacted her but she was getting nasty texts from an unknown number as well. She opened the most recent one up. You're so ugly, no wonder you haven't got any friends! She didn't know who would send her those sort of texts. Sure, she didn't have many friends at school but she didn't have any enemies either, as far as she knew. She couldn't tell Dynasty about this as she would just fuss over her and as for Barry, he would get into a fight and she didn't want him getting into trouble. Also, if she told them about the nasty texts, she knew she would have to tell them about her dad as well and she knew they wanted nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the shed. It was Mike.

"Hey kiddo, are you ok? Dynasty says you don't seem yourself." He said gently.

"She can just mind her own business then!" She snapped. "I'm fine!"

Mike sighed. "You know you can tell me anything. I can't help if you don't tell me." He said softly, moving to sit next to her.

Suddenly, she burst into tears hiding her head in his shoulder.

"Hey, it's ok." He said softly, hugging her. "Please tell me what's wrong."

Kacey just handed him her phone. "My dad contacted me and I've been getting these nasty texts." She sniffed.

Mike took her phone off her and had a look. He was disgusted by what he saw. "This is unacceptable. We need to tell your school about this."

"No! I don't want everyone knowing! Please!" She pleaded.

"Kacey, we need to stop this and find out who's been sending them." Mike said softly. "I have the duty of care to everyone who lives here. I can't do nothing."

Kacey sniffed but reluctantly nodded. "What about my dad? He wants to see me but Dynasty and Barry hate him..."

"Your dad needs permission to see you because of where he's been." Mike said softly. "It's your choice whether you want to see him though, Kacey. Don't let Dynasty and Barry influence you."

Kacey nodded. "Thanks..." She said quietly. Mike smiled and hugged her. "It's what I'm here for. Do I have your permission to contact the school? You don't have to tell Dynasty and Barry about the nasty texts if you don't want to. I'm not forcing you but it might be a good idea to tell them about your dad." He said before leaving.

Mike was in his office contemplating how to handle the situation when he heard shouting from upstairs. He ran upstairs to find Kacey crying on the landing and Barry shouting at her.

"Hey hey, what's going on?" He said sternly.

"MY STUPID SISTER THINKS SHE WANTS TO SEE OUR STUPID DAD! WELL I WON'T LET HER!" Barry screamed.

"Barry calm down. It's Kacey's choice whether she sees your dad or not. He would have to do it through us but if Kacey wants to see him, it's her own decision."

"WELL I'LL HATE HER IF SHE DOES AND NEVER TALK TO HER AGAIN!" He screamed and then stormed back to his room, slamming the door.

Dynasty was just standing next to them, not saying anything. Mike looked at her. "Kacey needs your support. She's finding it hard as it is." Mike said gently. Dynasty just nodded and he left them to it.

Meanwhile, Barry was lying on his bed fuming. How dare that man think he could enter their lives again?! He wouldn't let him hurt Kacey like he hurt him. He just wouldn't.

Sooooo...what do you think is going on? What is Barry hiding? Will Kacey see her dad? And will Mike put a stop to the nasty texts? Find out in the next chapter! :D
