except Seth. He kept trying to yell at me but it didn't work. After awhile my side started hurting. I laid with my head on Seth's lap and my feet on Jonathon. After finally getting comfortable I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Chapter 12
Dealing with the Past

”Baby wake up. Were home.” I heard Seth's soft voice say. I tried to sit up but my ribs hurt and my face burned. It was hard to breath and I felt like I was taking my last breaths. Seth was looking at me with worry in his eyes. I tried to speak and tell him I was fine but the words wouldn't come out. He looked at all the guys who were also looking at me with worrying expressions. “We should take her to the hospital.” Felix said. I looked over at him and shook my head. “No.” Was all I could get out.
I ignored the pain and sat up from where I was laying in the backseat of the truck. I jumped down from the truck and instantly regretted it. I screamed cause the impact felt like it all hit my ribs instead of my feet. Seth picked me up and carried me into the house. He laid me down on the couch and crouched down in front of me. He rubbed my hair and kissed my forehead. “Let me take you to the hospital. Please.” He whispered. I shook my head. “I'm fine. I've had my share of hospital visits. I can't take it anymore.” Then I remembered I had something in my backpack that can help.
“Johnny can you go get my backpack in Seth's room?” I asked Jonathon. He nodded his head and ran upstairs. He came down a second later and handed my backpack to Seth. I slowly sat up and moved my hair out of my face. Seth set my backpack in front of him and unzipped it. I reached in and grabbed out a medium sized pouch and unzipped it. I looked around for the right kind and pulled out the little prescription bottle. Morphine. Just what I needed. I smiled and pulled out 2 little pills.
Seth reached out and grabbed the pills from my hand, the bottle, and the pouch. “Your not taking that stuff.” He started putting everything back in my backpack. “So you want me to be in pain?” I asked and raised my eyebrows at him. He instantly stopped what he was doing and looked at me. He sighed and took back out the 2 little pills and handed them to me. He shoved everything back in my backpack and took it upstairs for me. I rolled my eyes a took the glass of water from Deangelo. Seth came back down 5 minutes later and sat next to me. I laid on his lap while him and the guys watched a football game.
An hour later the doorbell rang. “Was anyone expecting anybody?” Zion asked. Everyone shook there heads 'No' so he carefully got up and walked to the door. I heard the door open and everyone in the room instantly went tense. “Can I come in? I mean no harm I just want to talk to her.” Said the voice I never wanted to hear again in my life. He was dead to me and I never wanted to see him again. Zion walked back into the living room with Patrick trailing behind. I sat up and leaned closer to Seth.
“Have a seat.” Seth said. His voice was cold and hard. My father sat across from me and Seth on the other seat. “I was just coming to tell you I'm going to turn myself in.” He said looking at the floor. My heart raced and felt the tears slowly coming. “For?” I whispered. He looked up at me this time and said “For abusing you.” I shook my head at him and cleared my throat. “I don't care if you ever go to jail for abusing me or not. I'd rather you go for killing mom.” I knew I caught him off guard cause he went tense and looked around the room.
“I didn't kill-” He started but I cut him off. “They already know. Stop being such a fucking coward Patrick and admit to what you do some times.” I yelled at him. He looked at me like I was crazy and didn't have anything to say. “You may think I don't remember what happened that day but I do. I remember everything. EVERYTHING. Do you know what that did to me? I will never be able to forget it. Then you abused me. Yeah I will never be able to forget that either.” I tried to whip away the tears but they were instantly followed by new ones.
He sat there and said nothing. I couldn't even stand to look at him anymore. I walked out the living room and muttered “Coward.” before I walked up the stairs. I walked to mine and Seth's room and laid down on our bed. The medicine was finally kicking in so my eyes felt drowsy. I pulled off my shoes and as soon as I hit the pillow I was out.

I woke up to an annoying ringing sound. It wouldn't stop and after a few minutes I couldn't do it anymore. I sat up slowly and looked around the room. The sun was shining through the curtains and I was alone. The ringing stopped for a second and then a minutes later it started again. I sighed as I realized it was my phone. I walked over to my pants I was wearing the other day and got out my phone.
“Hello?” I asked in a sleepy tone. “Did I wake you up? It's 1 in the afternoon how are you still sleeping?” I heard Sage's voice say from the other line. “Yeah it's cool though. What do you need?” I asked as I laid back down on the bed. “Dad turned himself in.” I sat up as soon as he said that. I sucked in a breath when my ribs started hurting. “What for?” I asked. It sounded like there was paper shuffling around in the back ground and then he answered. “He admitted to killing mom and also for abusing you.”
“Really?” Was all I could say. It felt good to know he has come to his senses and actually did it. Maybe my speech helped him. “Yeah. We have to go to court and testify. The court date is actually for tomorrow.” Great now I have to go and re-live everything I tried so hard to forget. “How did they end up getting him in so early?” I asked. “The worse the charges the faster they try to get them in.”
“Well. Where is at?” He thought for a second. “There actually. He left from talking to you and went straight to the police station.” I nodded my head and said “OK. Well I got to go love you.” He said he loved me to and hung up. I climbed out of bed and walked downstairs. Felix was cooking lunch and Seth, Zion, Jonathon, and Deangelo sat at the island in the middle of the kitchen eating. When I walked in everyone looked at me. I cleared my throat before I spoke “I have to go to court tomorrow.”
“Your dad turned himself in?” Seth asked. “Yeah. He told them he killed my mom. Also that he abused me.” I looked at the floor and then back up at Seth. “Where at?” He replied as he set his fork down. “Here. He left the other day and went straight to the police station.” I replied as I walked to the fridge and got out some apple juice. He nodded and then went back to eating.
“Um. I wanna take a shower and I need help with my shirt and the wrap.” I hinted. I need someone to help me with my shirt and bra. Zion went to stand up but Seth pushed him back down and walked over to me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up the stairs. Once in the room I grabbed some black PJ shorts, bra, panties, and one of Seth's shirts. I walked into the bathroom where Seth had already started my shower. I lifted up my arms as high as I could without it hurting my side. He walked over and slowly pulled it over my head.
I held in a whimper by biting my bottom lip. He slowly unwrapped the ace bandages and unclasped my bra. “Thanks. I wont be long.” He nodded his head and kissed me before leaving the bathroom. I pulled the rest of my clothes off and got in the shower. I washed my hair and my body and sat in there for a few minutes. When I got out I dried off and pulled on my panties and shorts. I pulled on my bra and let out a breath. I felt like I couldn't breath. “Seth.” I called out. He came in and looked at me.“Are you ok baby?” He asked as he clipped my bra.
“Yeah just feel like I can't breath.” He slowly redid the wrap and helped me pull the shirt over my head. He picked me up and carried me to the room. He sat me on the bed and then walked back into the bathroom. He came back with the brush and sat behind me. “You don't have to.” I said as he started brushing my hair. “I know.” He smiled at me. I smiled back and let him brush my hair. Once all the tangles were out I pulled it up in a bun. I felt really tired so I climbed back on the bed and laid on Seth's chest. He chuckled a little and then put his arm around me. “Go to sleep baby.” I nodded and closed my eyes. He played with my hair and I found myself falling asleep instantly.

Chapter 13
Starting school

Leaving the court house was hard. Even though my dad did A LOT to me I still love him. He was sentenced to life with no bail. Right before they took him away he told me how sorry he was. I promised I would go see him if they would let me. Sage and Gage had to leave again cause they had testing on Monday/ tomorrow. Which is the day I also start school. Seth doesn't want me to because a neighboring pack goes to the same school. After some convincing he finally agreed only if one of the guys went with me. He said he would go himself but he has Alpha stuff to do. So Zion agreed to go with me.
So here I am laying in my bed trying to fall sleep but no matter what I do I can't. Then it hits me. Of course I can't sleep. Seth isn't here in bed with me. Instead he is at a meeting with his pack. It's 10:00 at night and I have to be up at 6:00 and be ready by 7:10 cause school starts at 8:00. I got up from where I was laying, on mine and Seth's bed, and walked downstairs. It was so quiet and peaceful. I walked into the kitchen and got some apple juice.
I leaned against the counter and looked around the empty, soundless kitchen. Of course I wasn't really alone cause Jonathon was watching the house from the woods but still. I had no one to talk to and I really needed to sleep. “Ugh! Fuck me!” I yelled as I slammed my now empty cup in the sink. “My pleasure babe.” I turned around and Seth was standing in the doorway with a smirk. I put my hand on my now racing heart and
