I drove him to the cemetery so the he wouldn't get in too much trouble, and told him that I would pick him up from the house in the morning. Neither of us realized what would be awaiting us the next day.
I pulled up to the house, and began to get out of the car, when Isaac ran out the door, and got in my car and I sped off before our father could follow him out. It was quiet until I pulled up to my house, and then he just got out of the car, walked over to my side and opened the door, kneeling and burying his head into my shoulder. I reached over and pressed play on my phone, and the song I used to sing to him when he was upset came on.
I know what I'm doing may be dumb
I know I should not be staring at the sun
But the thought of it leads me to temptation
It's the same whatever side you're on
Separated we're delicate and small
And the space between leads our retention
I see you right in front of me as close as you can get
And the greater you will lead as a daydream gets
And it might seem much too far to get back to where you are
But it's close enough with an ocean size love
So if you can't reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I'll pick it up with an ocean size love
I don't have to worry any more
If I really need you I'll go to the shore
And the thought of you there is my protection
As I stopped singing I could tell that he was calmer, and I grabbed my stuff and gently pushed him off my shoulder, and grabbed his hand and led him into the house. I sat him down on the couch and I walked into the kitchen to make him a cup of tea. I heard him get up and walk over and sit down at the island behind me so when I was done, I turned around and set the cup in front of him. I reached over and ran my fingers through his curly hair. He reached up and grabbed my hand, pulled it down to the counter and smiled at me. He looked at the time and asked me what we were going to do for the rest of the day.
"Mr. you are going to school, because I have to go talk to Melissa McCall at the hospital about something, and then I need to go talk to Dr. Deaton, the vet. I will drive you and pick you up after school though." He told me that he has lacrosse practice after school, and I made us a quick breakfast of toaster waffle sandwich with butter and powdered sugar in between, gave him both a napkin and a death threat not to eat it in my car, and drove him to school. I saw him walk through the front doors, and then he stopped and turned around to wave at me. I smiled and waved back before slipping my aviators back on, and sped off to the hospital.
~At the hospital~
I walked through the sliding doors and immediately spotted Melissa, and walked towards her with a smile on my face.
"Did someone order a fairy godmother?" she looked up and a huge smile came across her face. She turned to the nurse next to her and told her that she was going on break, and walked around the counter, grabbed my arm and we walked to the cafeteria catching up. After about an hour, I knew that she had to get back to work, so we headed back to the nurses' station, and got there just as they were wheeling a sheet covered body past. Melissa stopped them and looked under the sheet before ushering them past and turning to me.
"Honey, I'm sorry, but that was your father. He's been killed." I was shocked for about ten seconds before I realized that I had to get to the school and tell Isaac the news.
~TIME SKIP~
I ran up to the lacrosse coach, "Coach Finstock!"
He turned at the sound of his name and smiled when he noticed that it was me. "Arabelle Lahey, when the hell did you get back?"
"A few days ago, coach where is Isaac?"
"He's over there talking to he police..."
I ran over yelling to get the sheriffs attention as I got within earshot. The second Isaac saw me he visibly relaxed knowing that I would handle whatever was going on.
"Sheriff stilinski, why do you need Isaac? Has he done something wrong? Because I need to talk to him about something."
"I'm sorry but he is the suspect in a murder investigation involving his fathers death. He told us that he was with his sister last night, but he can't tell us where to find her."
"Well I'm standing right in front of you, so I can tell you the he isn't a suspect any longer." I glared at the officers daring them to tell me I was wrong.
They didn't, so I continued," if you will excuse us, we need time to mourn as the last of our family. We would appreciate being left alone for a little while." they nodded and I turned and grabbed Isaac's hand and pulled him back over to the school, but I stopped and turned around when I felt someone's eyes on me, only to see the flash of a black leather jacket quickly walking back into the darkness of the forest.
