Chapter 8

WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE THINKING?! Dominic is the one who's hurt her the most and now she's just gonna forgive him?! He must've done something to her. I know Ivory wouldn't forgive him if she was in her right mind. I have to get to her. Now. I have to run faster, I need to get to her before she does something she regrets. Fuck! Legs you need to move faster! I run until my legs feel like they are on fire. I felt myself losing control. I just became angrier with every step I took. I was gonna beat Dominic's ass when I got there. I finally reached Ivory and I shoved her out of the way.

"Get away from that monster! What is going through you're fucking head?!" I focus my attention back on Dominic. I'm ready to beat the shit out of him. "You're a coward, using the storm to cover up your actions!"

"Look I'm not here for trouble I'm just here to-" I stare him down as he speaks. But Ivory speaks up for herself.

"Evans this was my choice!" WHAT? I don't know what she's thinking any more at this point. I can't speak. "Fighting with him will do nothing right now. If you're angry be mad at me and let him go!" I look at her and then to Dominic. Even he was surprised at what she was saying.

"Why Ivory? After all he's done, why?" I didn't know what to think. She was so heartbroken when he left and then she just forgave him like that?

"Evans just please. We'll talk about it later but right now just please-" She stopped talking just like that. I looked at her and her eyes were wide. Dominic was gone. I knew he was trouble and I knew this would happen.

"Ivory." I looked at her expecting her to cry, but she was smiling. Now I'm confused. "Why are you smiling?"

"Just because everything makes sense now." She seemed so calm and collected.

"What? How?" I had no clue what she was talking about. How could it all make sense because of one kiss?!

"Well I know why he left before and why he left now." She let a giggle out. Why he left? He had a reason? That's a surprise.

"Why did he leave?" I was curious to see what bullshit he spouted to get Ivory back.

"He left because of family and thats why hes back to." His family? Why would his family be at the academy? Was he related to one of the teachers? It just didn't make any sense.

"His family? Ivory, what family does he have here at the academy?" She still didn't look too shocked like I thought she would have. Does she already know the answer? What kinda of made up bullshit did he tell her this time to make her believe this. What family could he have here? Mostly why would they want him to come back to them? Like this guy is an adult and a fucking jackass who in hell would want to say that he is apart of their family, and why would they want to have him come back? Nothing about this is clear to me.

"One of the students. One of our classmates." Thats all she says.

"Huh?" She caught me off guard. "Ivory what do you-?" I couldn't keep talking. She was just standing there not scared or upset but she was smiling. She looked up and looked at the academy building.

"Come on. Lets get home." She turned away from the academy and started walking. Ivory has never made any sense to me even though I was the only one with her as we grew up.

Ivory didn't look back to me and she didn't stop walking either. Whatever it is going on I'm not sure I'll ever figure it out. That or I don't want to know. This world just seems to be turning upside down. First I find out that Ivory and I are test tube kids and who our father is, and hes a complete freak with major OCD and now to find out that Dominic came back here for family! Too much has happened these past few weeks.

I know that my thinking is off about everything and for sure bias. I need to talk to Scarlet about it I don't want to be all in Ivory's business but I'm her brother and Ivory sure as hell won't talk to me about it. Let me just focus on finding Scarlet. She'll help me figure it out. I started running towards the school, god I hope shes there. If I keep all of this in my head much longer I might go insane.

I reached the school courtyard in no time. Now where is she? Fuck! Come on Evans you have to find her. Just look harder. I searched everywhere and still no sign of her. I've been looking for at least half an hour. I'm so done with this I'm heading back. I head out of the courtyard and stop dead in my tracks when someone calls for me.

"Evans?" I turn around and see Scarlet standing on the front steps. WHERE HAS SHE BEEN!? "What are you doing?"

"What? I've been looking for you. Where have you been!?" I'm so done like what? Ive wasted all that time.

"I've been here the whole time, and might I say that walking circles around the same spot doesn't really count as looking. But it was quite entertaining." I couldn't believe this. She even started to laugh at me. I mean like who looks behind them!? Thats just stupid. Whatever I'm done shes here, she's been here the whole time, but I still need to talk to her.

"Whatever, I still need to talk to you!" Maybe its about her being behind me! Gosh this chick. I make my way to the front stairs.

"Okay?" I could tell that she was a bit concerned. "So what is it?"

"I need to talk to you about Ivory."
"Evans, really!? You're gonna come to me to talk about your sister!?"

"Scarlet listen please!" I need to talk to her I can't go to Ivory about this I need someone elses thoughts on this whole thing. "Scarlet please listen to me, its not really about her its about someone who was once apart of her life. Anyway the thing is he found his way back here."

"Evans?" I'm not sure how she took that but it seemed as though she felt sorry for me. Like how is this me issue?

"Gosh just tell me what you think I should do."

"What do you mean? What you should do about what Evans?"
"You remember Dominic right?"
"Yeah, I do. What is it about him now?" She was not happy with me right now I just knew it.
"Its just that hes back."
"Evans, if this is about him hurting Ivory I'm sure she can handle herself. You can't always protect her."
"Scarlet its not about that right now!" Scarlet looked shocked. Was this really all that surprising? I paused for a bit just watching her eyes get really wide and trying to think of the right words to say next. I guess in a way I surprised myself. "Scarlet this time Ivory is certain that hes back for his family, his kid."
"Evans. I don't know everyones parents I barely even know Dominic. But I know someone who might." This gave me hope and I couldn't help but smile.

"Really? You do? Who?"

"Well you're dad, Lord Death. I'm sure he knows all about that stuff." She was right he

had information on every student who was currently enrolled and all those from the past. I have to go see him. I run up the stairs and get to the door.

"Thank you Scarlet." With that I opened the door and headed towards my father's office. After walking for quite some time I was almost to his office when I was stopped by some kid.

"Hey are you headed over to see Lord Death?" How in the hell did he know?

"Yeah I am."

"Well then let me just tell you this. The information you're about to receive will not please you." Then he walked off.

"Hey wait! What's your name kid?" He didn't turn around and he didn't stop walking.

"Its Obsidian. Oh and you might want this after you talk to him." He holds up his hand and in it was a card, he let it go and it came flying through the air to me as he kept walking down the hall. It didn't make it that far before hitting the ground. That kid Obsidian creeped me out but I still walked over to the card and picked it up and without looking at it I just placed it in my pocket. I couldn't focus on that right now. I picked up the pace and started running towards Lord Death's office. Hopefully he wouldn't go off on some crazy OCD rant before I got the answers I was looking for.

I reached the doors to his office in no time flat. I needed to calm down. Thoughts kept whizzing in and out of my head and that card that creepy kid Obsidian gave me seemed to give off a bad vibe. I just shook it off and took a deep breath. I threw open the doors and confidently walked in.

"I need some answers, old man." I tried to sound as confident as possible. Hopefully it would keep him on subject.

"Oh hello Evans." He gave me the goofiest grin he could manage. I don't understand this guy at all.

"Hi. Now about those answers, who is Dominic's son?" I felt like I needed to get this answer as fast as possible. It seemed like this one answer would stop the questions buzzing in my head.

"Dominic? Oh I remember him! We were in the same class but then he disappeared out of the blue. I wonder how he's doing."

"Dammit, stop going off subject! Now I know you know who Dominic's son is, just give me his name. That's all I need." I was getting too angry. I needed to keep calm around him, otherwise I might never get the answer out of him.

"His son? Ah, I remember why he left now. It's quite interesting how Jett goes to this school as well. He is so similar to his father." My eyes widened. Did he just say Jett?! My head started spinning.

"Do you mean Ivory's partner?! That Jett?!" I started to get mad. I knew I couldn't trust him! He had the blood of that asshole running through his veins.

"Why of course! There aren't any other Jett's at this school." I needed to get out of here. Lord Death started to go off on an OCD rant and I just left. I was furious.

Before I knew it I was in the courtyard. I stop right before making it to the stairs to town. What is going to happen now? The more I think about how Jett is Dominic's son the more furious I get. I don't move but I ball up my hands into a fist and my grip gets stronger, I start to lose all feeling in my hand but right now my anger is the only thing on my mind. I try to take a step forward about to dash into town but I hear footsteps behind me. Without any hesitation I swing my fist around. Frozen after the punch I look at my hand. What did I hit? A binder?

"You should really be more careful Evans." Scarlet? What was she doing here? She drops her binder down and she looks off into town. I let myself fall to the ground to sit down. I don't look up to her or into the town instead I keep my head down. I can't let myself forget who Jett really is. "Evans?" Scarlet sits down next to me. "What did your dad say?"

"IT'S FUCKING JETT!" I have never been this mad. All this time I've trusted Jett with my sister. In the end it seems like I can't ever protect her!

"What?" She was obviously confused. I wanted to have a calm conversation with her but I couldn't. I didn't feel like I was in control of my temper anymore.

"DID I STUTTER, GODDAMMIT?! JETT IS THAT ASSHOLE'S SON!" What was I doing? I was letting out all of my anger on her. I didn't want to yell but at the same time I felt like that's all I could do.

"Oh my god. Evans, I'm so sorry." She looked down. Dammit, I made her sad again. I needed to calm down or get out of here. I needed to get back in control. I take a deep breath. Calm down Evans.

"No, I'm sorry Scarlet. I need to work on my temper. I just threw that on you without thinking twice about it." She raised her head. I smiled and I felt calmer.

"Are you okay with this? I mean Jett is Ivory's partner, and I know how you feel about Dominic." She avoided eye contact. I felt my anger ignite again, but I could control it.

"I'm not the least bit okay with it, but I have to deal with it. Thanks for the help Scarlet." I stood up. That's when I remembered the card Obsidian gave me. I quickly took it out of my pocket. It was the two of hearts. That's strange. Then I noticed a little note in the corner. It read 'I think you should find Jett now.' I started to get worried. Why the hell do I need to find Jett?!

"What is it Evans?" I guess she could read my face, but I didn't have time to explain.

"Nothing. Um, I gotta go, bye Scarlet." Thats when I started running towards Jett's house. I needed to get to the bottom of this. Now.
