Seth woke up early the next morning so he can get ready for this meeting with his father he doesn't know if he should bring Sky or not, he would ask her once she woke up so while she slept he got ready. By the time he was finished he wore a black t shirt with a dragon design, black jeans, his black and red nikes, he had his shoulder length hair into a small bun hanging just above his neck with his signature hat on, after he finished getting ready Sky had woken up rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Morning kiddo". Seth said.
"Morning, where are you going? I thought it was your day off". Sky said.
"It is i'm just going to meet someone". Seth said.
"Who?" Sky asked.
Seth then sighed and sat down beside his sister. "Sky i'm going to go meet dad he wants to talk to me about something". Seth said.
"I don't have to go do i?" Sky asked.
"Do you wanna go? You don't have to if you don't want to but whatever you pick i'll be fine i won't get mad at you". Seth said.
"I don't wanna go". Sky said.
"Alright i can ask Dean and Roman if they would mind keeping an eye on you while i talk to dad". Seth said.
"Will you be alright with dad?" Sky asked.
"I'll be fine Sky i promise". Seth said.
Sky then got ready for the day but then changed her mind.
"Seth is it too late for me to come with you?" Sky asked.
"Are you sure you wanna come you don't have to if you don't want too". Seth said.
"I'm sure". Sky said.
"Alright then we should get going". Seth said.
Sky then took a hold of her brother's hand as they walked out of the room going down to the lobby and out to his car, Seth texted his dad that he was on his way to the diner on the way there Seth wondered what his father wanted to talk to him about he then glanced over towards his sister who was occupied on her phone he just hopes she doesn't get hurt in any kind of way. Once they arrived at the diner it didn't look too busy but there were some people there Seth then took a hold of Sky's hand going in the diner once they looked around for their father when they finally found him and they went to him.
"Seth, Sky good to see you guys". James said to his kids.
Sky slid in the booth and Seth sat next to her while glaring at his father.
"Alright dad let skip everything and get straight to the point what do you want". Seth said.
"What it's a crime to see my two only children now", James said.
"Yeah it is especially when you gave your rights up to Sky". Seth said.
"That was stupid of me i know but look i'm ready to put all that past me and i'll hope you guys will give me another chance". James said.
"Why did you say you didn't want me?" Sky asked.
Seth then sent a vicious glare to his father. "You said what?" Seth growled.
"Sky what i meant was after the divorce i couldn't take care of you on my own so i left you with your mother because i knew you be better with her than with me". James said.
"Was it my fault that you and mom got divorced?" Sky asked.
Seth kept shooting daggers at his father ready and wanting to rip him apart.
"No sweetheart your mom and i just grew apart". James said.
"Yeah like i haven't heard that before". Seth muttered.
"Seth i'm trying to make up with you guys here and you keep shutting me down". James said.
"I shut you down a long time ago dad, what you did to me was one thing but i will not let you do it to Sky you're gonna do to her what you did to me and that's not gonna happen. Not to mention while you were around her you were drunk have you lost your goddamn mind". Seth said.
"Seth i was never around her while i was drunk i'm not stupid and i'm not an idiot". James said.
"Then why do you act weird and smell all the time when you came over? You did that before and after the divorce". Sky said.
Seth was starting to get pissed off more and more by the minute he's trying to keep his temper under control for Sky's sake but his father keeps pushing his buttons.
"Sky i never acted like that and you know it". James said.
"Now you're calling her a liar, you never change do you dad". Seth said.
"I don't know what your talking about Seth". James said.
"Of course you don't dad you never did, come on Sky". Seth said getting up.
Seth got out of the booth then Sky reached out for his hand as they walked out of the diner heading to Seth's car, James then ran up behind them.
"Seth. Seth wait". James said.
"What dad what could you possibly want from us, you made it clear you won't nothing to do with us". Seth snapped.
"That's not true and you know it". James said.
"Dad you're never going to change your not, you're doing the same thing to Sky that you did to me i won't let that happen i will be damned if that happens". Seth said.
"Well what i wanted to tell you guys is that i'm getting married". James said.
"Your what?!" Seth yelled.
"I'm getting married". James said.
"I can't believe this, you just divorced mom and already you're getting married". Seth said.
"I thought you be happy for me Seth". James said.
"Dad what the hell you just got divorced and your getting remarried". Seth said.
"Sky aren't you happy for me?" James asked.
"I hate you". Sky said.
"Skylar Ann Marie Rollins". James scolded.
"Hey back off dad". Seth snapped.
"She does not talk to me like that". James said.
"And what exactly are you gonna do about it? Do you want a repeat of what i'll do cause i said it before and i'll say it again if you lay one hand hell one finger on her i will snap your arms like twigs". Seth said.
"Will you at least think about coming to the wedding i would really love for you to meet your step mother". James said.
"Let me think about it...hell no. And i don't want to meet my step mother because i don't want no part in any of it and don't want anything to do with you all i need is my mom and Sky that's all the family i need so you go have a nice life and just leave us alone". Seth said.
"Sky you could be the flower girl for the wedding". James said.
"Bye dad have a nice new life without us i don't need you anymore i have Seth now he'll take care of me like you were suppose to, i don't need you all i need is mom and Seth". Sky said.
"I say that's your answer James". Seth said.
"Seth, Sky please". James pleaded.
"Have a nice life James". Seth said.
Seth then took his sister and headed to his car and sped out of the parking lot. After they left Seth glanced in the rear view mirror to check on his sister, Sky had a glum face and he saw that tears were glistening in her eyes threatening to fall but she sniffed and wiped her face but that didn't stop the sob from escaping till she started crying so Seth pulled into an abandoned parking lot got out and went to comfort his sister.
Seth got in the back seat and brought his sister into his arms and held her as she cried into his shirt soaking it.
"Shh it's alright Sky it's alright, everything's gonna be alright. Shh sweetheart shh everything's gonna be ok I've got you sweetheart I've got you, big brother's here Sky". Seth soothed.
Sky was still too upset to speak so she cried in Seth's shirt for another couple of minutes until she has calmed down completely but she kept her arms wrapped around Seth's torso hiding her face in his shoulder.
"Are you alright now Sky?" Seth asked.
"It's not fair Seth it's just not fair, how could dad just divorce mom then just get remarried like that". Sky sniffed.
"I know it's not fair Sky but that's dad he's always been like that". Seth said.
Sky had bit her lip because she was hiding something else from Seth about their father.
"Seth if i tell you this will you promise you won't get mad". Sky said.
"What?" Seth asked.
"When dad came around drunk sometimes mom would be home she would tell him to leave but he wouldn't one day while i was doing my homework and mom was cooking dinner he came in, he was drunk he started to act like everything was ok mom told him to leave but he wouldn't she told me to go to my room. After i was in my room i kept my door open some so i could hear i heard dad punch mom because she was crying i closed my door and hid in my closet but he still came in and he told me that if i told anyone he'd do the same thing to me and he'd take me from mom so i kept quiet. I wanted to tell someone Seth i really did but i didn't want him to take me from mom". Sky said.
Seth was now pissed off and ready to go tear his father a new ass.
"I wanted to tell someone Seth i really did but he said he take me from mom i didn't know what to do". Sky rambled.
"Hey hey Sky calm down alright i'm not mad at you ok i'm mad at him this wasn't your fault ok sweetheart, none of it is your fault". Seth said.
"I didn't want him to take me from mom". Sky whimpered.
"Sky he won't ever take you from me or mom not without a fight". Seth said.
"That wasn't the first time though he did it many times but he told her that if she said anything he'd do worse and make sure that she never see me again, he has friends in high places he told me and mom that if either of us said anything he'd take me away then get rid of her so we both kept quiet then after the divorce mom couldn't handle it much more so she told me about you and said i'd come live with you until she got back on her feet". Sky continued.
"Sky did he ever hurt you?" Seth asked.
Sky then had a lump in her throat as tears were forming in her eyes. "He beat me once so bad i couldn't sit right for a couple of days he said if i told anyone he'd do worse".
Seth was now fired up he was ready to kick his father's ass into the ground as he held his sister tighter he kissed her head a couple of times then rested his chin on top her head.
"He won't ever hurt you again Sky, not you, not mom, not if i have anything to say about it". Seth promised.
"Promise?" Sky asked.
"I promise, nobody will ever hurt you as long as i'm around". Seth said.
Seth then drove his sister back to the hotel but he wasn't gonna let what Sky said go he then asked Roman to watch her while he had to run an important 'errand', once he knew Sky was gonna be alright he texted his dad to meet him so they can talk. Seth then drove to the location where his father said to meet him and he arrived first now waiting for his father, after about 25 minutes James finally arrived but he was drunk so chances are he won't remember.
"I knew it you're never gonna change are you dad". Seth said.
"I'm here now what do you want". James slurred.
Seth then punched his father in the stomach hard making him drop to his knees.
"You are one stupid sorry son of a bitch you know, you didn't think i wouldn't find out dad. Huh". Seth yelled.
Seth then began to attack his father then once he was finished he picked him up by the front of his shirt and held his forearm close to his throat.
"If you ever lay another finger on my mother or my sister ever again hell if you go anywhere near them i swear to god dad i will end you". Seth said threateningly.
"They deserved it". James slurred.
Seth then hit his father a couple more times till he fell on the floor spitting out blood Seth then looked at him with an evil look.
"This is my only warning dad stay away from my mom and Sky, if i find out you went anywhere near them i swear i'll finish you". Seth said.
Seth then left to go back to his sister and check on her, he needed to go home back to Davenport for a little while and since he had some time off coming up he'll go see his mom and bring Sky to see her as well. Once he got back to the hotel he went to clean his knuckles up so Sky wouldn't get suspicious or scared in any way he just knew that if his father went around his sister or mom ever again he'll do it again. Once his knuckles were cleaned of the blood he knew he couldn't hide the bruising he just hopes that Sky won't notice, just then there was a knock on his door so he went to open it and it was Roman with his sister.
"Hey guys, Rome thanks again for watching Sky". Seth said.
"No problem". Roman said.
"Bye Roman". Sky said.
"Bye Sky". Roman said.
Sky then entered the room and she noticed a change in her brother.
"Seth are you alright?" Sky asked.
"I'm fine Sky, listen i got some time off coming up how would you feel if we went and saw mom". Seth said.
"Could we really". Sky said.
"Sure". Seth said.
The two siblings then packed for their trip back home and decided to head out in the morning while they were packing Sky noticed that her brother's knuckles were starting to bruise.
"Seth why do your knuckles look like that?" Sky asked.
"Dammit". Seth mumbled.
"Seth where did you go when you ran that errand?" Sky asked.
"I went to see dad". Seth said.
"He didn't hurt you did he?" Sky asked.
"No Sky he didn't hurt me but i did hurt him, Sky come here". Seth said.
Sky then went and sat next to her brother on the bed just as he wrapped an arm around her pulling her close to him.
"Sky listen don't be afraid to tell me anything alright i promise that i will always be here for you, i will always protect you, you don't have to be afraid to tell me anything. If you wanna talk to me then just talk to me you don't have to hide anything from me alright". Seth said.
"Alright". Sky said.
"We should get packed up we head out in the morning". Seth said.
"Ok". Sky said.
The siblings then finished packing then changed for bed, Sky laid next to Seth curled into his side just as she was starting to fight sleep.
"Go to sleep Sky it's alright, i'm right here sweetheart i'm not going anywhere". Seth said.
"G'night Seth". Sky said falling asleep.
Seth then kissed the top of her head. "Good night Sky sweet dreams".
He then wrapped a protective arm around her and held her in a protective hold as he fell asleep then tomorrow he and Sky will be in Davenport to see their mom.
