It had been a week since Will's death and Dirk was still finding it hard, but I couldn't and wouldn't grieve anymore, I said my goodbyes at the hospital, sure he was my brother but he took away two people I loved the most so I wasn't going to be upset anymore, I was going to move on with my life and be happy. I'd finally gotten closure, maybe not the closure I wanted but still; I knew who was responsible for Texas and Mum's death now.
I was lying in bed, watching Sienna sleep, when I heard a knock at the door, causing her to roll over and mutter something incoherent.
I chuckled to myself and got out of bed, grabbing some clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
The knock sounded again, a little louder this time.
"Alright, I'm coming" I said in a raised voice.
I swung the door open and the person flung themselves at me.
"Heeeeeeeeeey" the person said in a high-pitched voice.
"What you doing here?" I asked the person.
"I heard about Will and I had to come back, we need to be together now, as a family" Liberty told me quietly.
"I know" I signed.
I told her to have a seat.
"Do you want a drink?" I asked her.
"Coffee please" she said with a smile.
Once I made us both a coffee I walked over to the couch and sat down beside her.
"How'd you know I was here?" I asked her.
"Dad said"
"You've seen him?" I asked.
"Yeah"
"How is he?" I asked her.
"Not good Dod, move back to the boat" she said in a pleading voice.
"I can't, Sienna needs me" I said.
"Dad needs you" she said in a firm and slightly raised voice.
"He's got you now, besides I'm not his son" I knew I sounded a little harsh and I felt bad but I needed to face up to the facts, until now I pushed it aside and called him 'Dad', but things change...
"Dod, how can you say that?"
I sighed and ran my hands through my hair.
"I don't know, a lot of things change..." I said, looking at her.
"I heard Patrick's in the hospital" Liberty said after a moment.
"Yeah, he gets out today or tomorrow" I said.
"What's wrong with him?" she questioned.
"I don't really know, they wanted to run tests or something, he won't speak to me"
"Why?" she asked.
Because I'm sleeping with my sister I thought, but I couldn't really tell her that so I just shrugged.
Just then the bedroom door came flying open.
"Hey, thought I heard you" Sienna said.
"Hey" Liberty said.
"Sleeping beauty awakens then" I said with a wink in her direction.
"So, how's LA life?" Sienna asked Liberty as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, I'm gonna take a shower, do you mind?" I said to Liberty.
"No, it's fine"
I walked to the bathroom, kissing Sienna on the way, making sure Liberty didn't see.
...
I walked out of the bathroom and heard Liberty say who is he.
"Who's who?" I asked as I dried my hair with a towel.
They both turned to look at me and I saw Sienna quickly look away.
"Sienna's mystery guy, she won't tell me" Liberty told me.
"Well maybe she doesn't want everyone to know" I said quickly.
"Well, I'll find out" she warned.
...
"You know what Liberty's like, she won't give up until she knows" I said to Sienna later that night.
"I know" she replied.
"Why did you tell her you had a boyfriend?" I asked.
"I didn't, she figured it out"
"How?" I asked her.
"Well, maybe you should be more careful" she said pointing to her neck.
I just grinned at her and kissed her.
"I can give you a matching one on the other side if you like" I said, wiggling my eyebrows at her...
