CHAPTER 9
"Your daughter had just gotten kidnapped and we went to rescue her." he states and Mr Gray looks at him in disbelief.
"I'm sorry son, but did something by mistake just slip off of your tongue!" Mr Gray yells at Shawn.
"Daddy calm down!" Tessa decides to intrude, like always.
"Oh shut up young girl, your dad is doing just the right thing. Talk to him Albert." Mrs Gray pulls Tessa beside her.
"How did you know she was kidnapped." Albert inquires.
"I forced her to come to a party, where she got kidnapped." Shawn blurts out.
"For all I know you're filthy child who drinks the blood of innocents, you planned it all", Albert accuses. "We aren't falling for the dirty stupid tricks you and your friends play!" Albert bursts out angrily.
"I'm extremely sorry but I just want you to be careful, your whole family sir-" Shawn says before he is cut off, Albert slaps him hard enough to lose balance.
"We are going to be safe when the Greendale police department extinguishes all of you for good." Tessa's dad speaks up. "Get off of my lawn."
Shawn picks himself up and slowly walks off the green lawn and into his house. Neil scolds him for being so stupid and for trying to talk to Mr Gray, Tessa looks at the conversation between the two but it's not audible.
"Are you coming in?" A voice snaps her back to reality.
"Daddy he's just my friend." Tessa complains.
"He's part of The Black Circle Tessa, I told you we'd leave this town for good but you wouldn't agree because of Ronnie now that you aren't with him we're moving to Riverdale!" he exclaims and Tessa looks at him with horror.
"I'm sorry." Tessa shakes her head wildly.
"Oh of course you are." her dad scoffs.
"What's that supposed mean dad?" She looks at him.
"Your brother must have been sorry too." he chuckles like a mad man.
"Don't bring Hugh into this." she contemplates.
"Albert." Mrs Gray warns him.
"Oh keep it Antoniette, how long are we going to pretend like this house is normal when their are so many secrets?" Albert starts off.
"Exactly my point mom." Tessa supports her dad.
"This will lead to something we'll regret." Antoniette yet again warns both of them.
"She's just as stupid as her brother and whimsical like him always doing new things." her dad shakes his hand.
"Just say it dad." Tessa says on the verge of crying.
"Leave that boy and stop mingling with those dirty blood suckers."
"Those bloodsuckers just saved your daughter's life today." she debates.
"Don't be stupid Tessa!"
"Not until you tell me what personal grudge you have against them."
"You siblings are the same, why weren't you two twins? Makes me really wonder sometimes, he was just like you always asking questions sometimes he asked too many!"
"Don't make this about Hugh!"
"Of course it is, he got the answers for his questions but he couldn't handle it, which drove him to suicide. That boy is a disgrace to this family and you are following his -"
"Albert that's enough of what have you have just told her!" Mrs Gray stops her husband from saying anything further.
"What did you just say? My brother? My brother suicided?" Tessa asks as tears drop from her eyes.
"Yes Tessa we wanted to tell you but-"
"But what mom? You couldn't tell me that because you were the reason he suicided?" Tessa cries out. "You two are practically his murderers!" she yells loudly.
"Stop shouting and get back to your room right away Tessa!"
"You can silence me now but not forever father." she gives him a glare before running into her room and shutting the door with a bang.
She quickly runs up to her drawer and looks for a bunch of keys, she wiped her tears as she looks for the key she wanted. She immediately picks up a blue key with H.G inscribed on it in gold and runs out of her room to a room opposite to hers.
She slides the door open and shuts it gently before slipping the keys into her pocket. She slowly walks into the room to reveal a huge portrait of her long lost brother, she sits on his bed and cries her heart out.
"You were so beautiful." she sniffs as she looks at his pictures, she opens one of the cupboards and takes out his tuxedo and puts the tuxedo jacket on.
"It still smells like you Hugh." she laughs as she inhales, she bends down and takes out an album.
Hours were spent and it was never enough for the girl who mourned the loss of her brother. All she wishes was to be able to travel back in time to hug her brother and never let him go to wherever he wanted.
"I'm sorry I screwed up." she says looking at their childhood picture. "Didn't you want to say goodbye to your sister?" She tears up.
"I hate you!" she yells looking at the wall wide portraits "I hate you!" She sobs "You didn't even say goodbye." she says tugging onto the tuxedo jacket tightly.
"Goodbye." she repeats softly to herself as she sits straight. She walks towards his closet and looks for her brothers jersey and flicks it, she silently walks out of Hugh's room and locks it without a sound, she tip toes back to her room.
"Mendes? I want to run away." she coldly states before slipping onto her brothers jersey, the one he ran away wearing.
