chapter 30

Rose P.O.V

I look at Selene as she sat I front of me and Aaron in the interrogation room. She look down at her hands who was playing with the sleeves of her sweater. When we got her it looked like she had been crying. Her eyes were red and I could see faintly dried tears on her cheek, but something else was showing too on her face.

There was a bruise on her lip and jaw. You could see clearly that she wanted to cover it up with makeup, but because of her tears it slightly when off. I wonder what happen?

Aaron clear his throat before speaking up. "Lea is your best friend, right?"

Selene stopped with playing with her sleeves and looked up. "Uhm yeah."

She looked confuse why he asked that.

"And you want to find her right? So that she is save and back home with her parents." She looked from Aaron to me before nodding her head.

"Yes of course."

Aaron fold his arms over his chest leaning back a bit from her. "Then why are you lying to us about you not knowing where she is?"

There was no emotion on her face when he said that. I thought she would be shocked, but she wasn't.

"I'm not." She said calmly looking at him.

Aaron raise both his brows before shaking his head with a chuckle. "Oh really? Then can you explain to us why your DNA was found in a hotel bedroom with Lea's."

She look down at her lap not saying anything.

"Selene it's better if you start talking." I said finally speaking up.

She look up at me. "I saw them, but not for long or did I talk to them."

I look at Aaron and he shrug his shoulder.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"That night I ran away from home and it was late, there were these boys who wanted me to come with them, but I didn't want to and they dragged me into a alleyway. They were about to, to. Uhm they wanted me to." I put my hand on her hand giving it a small squeeze.

"You don't have to say it if you don't want to."

She nodded her.

"Before they could do something really really bad to me a boy came and fought them off. I had hit my head when they push me on the ground before the fought with they boy, so I passed out. For a second or two I woke up and saw Lea standing with a blond boy. They were arguing, but I couldn't understand what they were saying because I past out a few seconds after I woke up." She looked at me and Aaron waiting forums to say something.

"Why did you run away?" I asked when Aaron didn't day anything.

She look down and some hair fall in front of her face. "Uhm I found out that I was adopted. I was angry at my parents because they didn't told me earlier." I could hear the hurt in her voice.

Aaron put his arms on the table intertwining his hands.

"Did you find out who your real parents were?" He asked her.

She shook her head. "No, well yes, but I never met them. I only met my brother. It's a boy from my school and Lea ex-boyfriend. Nate."

I frown my brows before looking at Aaron.

"How do you know he's your brother?" I asked looking back at her.

"Before you guys got me today he told me. Can I go please. I had a really bad day today and I found out I'm siblings with a jerk."

Aaron chuckle making Selene look at him.

"I assume you don't like him." He said.

"While I would like him a lot more if he didn't cheat on my best friend with her ex best friend and if he didn't beat me up the other day." That's were that bruise come from.

"He did that to you?" I asked pointing to her lip and jaw. Her hand when to her lips nodding her head.

"Yes, but don't worry I punched him too." Aaron chuckle and I had a small smile on my face.

"Can I go now?" She asked again a little annoyed.

"Selene we have to-" I stopped Aaron by putting my hand on his arm.

"It's okay you can go." Aaron gave me a weird look, but nodded his head at Selene. She said goodbye and walked away.

"Rose why didn't you tell her." Aaron asked when we walked back to our office. I push the door open before walking to my desk. "Did you see her? One more bad thing and the girl will break down." Aaron sigh before sitting down behind his desk.

"Yeah I know, but she deserved to know."

"I know Aaron, I know."

Selene P.O.V

After I left the police station I when for a long long walk. It was dark when I got home and my parents were still not home. I sigh before closing the door behind me. I can't believe I lie to the police and stayed so calm. I thought I would freak out, but it was like I could shut down all my emotions.

A smile came to my lips when I thought back at how stupid they are to believe me. I walked to the kitchen and ran a hand through my hair. I'm glad my parents aren't home they would have been asking me questions about why the police wanted to talk to me again.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw a man standing in my kitchen.

"Hello Selene." My heart stopped with breath right there and them.

"Who are you?" I was a surprise that my voice wasn't cracking.

"You don't know me, but I know your friend and she knows me." I frown my brows.

What the hell?

"I still don't know you." He smirked before chuckling.

"I like that you're not scared. I mean a strange man is standing in you kitchen talking to you. All the other people I know would have run out the house screaming bloody murder." I didn't took my eyes off of him.

I think I know him from somewhere.

"Who are you?!" A little bit louder now.

He chuckle again.

"I'm Robert."

My eyes widen and before he could do something I ran away from him. I may not be scared, but I'm not stupid. I heard him running me. There was no time to unlock the door and run out the house, so I had no choice to just ran upstairs.

There was a lock on my bedroom door. Quickly I slam the door shut and lock the door. I hear him banging on the door a second later. Without hesitating I ran to my nightstand drawer.

"Come on where is it!" I push things away until I found the phone Wyatt gave me. There was only one number so searching for it was easy.

There was a few beeps before he answer.

"Hello Selene?"

"Wyatt he's here! Robert is here in my house!" It was the only thing I could say before my door broke down. Quickly I hide my phone behind my back before backing away to the wall.

"You think you're smart by running away from huh?" He walked closer and closer and I try to flatten my body more against the wall, if that was even possible. I let out a yelp when he grabbed my hair.

I wanted to scream out, but I stayed strong. I'm not weak and I'm not going to be weak in front of him. He's the man who hurt my best friend in so many ways.

"Well you thought wrong." It was the last thing he said before he banged my head against the wall making me black out.
