3rd Person's POV

As the weeks go on, Tyson made up for what he had done by keeping an eye on her and making sure she was never alone with Noah. However, Noah wasn't the only one he should've been watching out for.

Diane had gotten extremely drunk one night after she found underwear that wasn't hers in the kitchen under the stove.

Infuriated, she had woken Georgia up standing above her with a knife. Georgia screams making Diane slash her across her cheek. Tyson had hurried into the room and stood in front of Georgia immediately.

"Mom, what the hell are you doing?"

"This bitch. You're protecting this trash. She's scum. She's dirt under my foot. She thinks she can just prance into my family. MY family and just ruin everything. She fucks my husband in my own house."

Tyson glances back at Georgia raising an eyebrow. She shakes her hand while holding her bleeding cheek.

"It wasn't me. It was-"

She freezes as she thinks back to what Rowan said. He would kill her if she told, but she could risk having not only Diane pissed at her but also Tyson.

"I-It was his secretary. I saw them."

Diane stands with fury in her eyes. She races out the room to Rowans office in the house and pulls up the kitchen camera. She finds the log from weeks ago and watches her husband fuck his secretary on their kitchen counter.

She screams in rage and throws his laptop across the room. Tyson and Georgia run into the room to see Diane throw all his books off his shelf and shove all his wine glasses off the wine rack.

Rowan pushes through the two and heads for Diane like a speeding train. He angrily smacks her down to the ground. Tyson moves to help his mom but is stopped by Georgia shaking her head with wide eyes.

Rowan kneels beside Diane and slaps her, "What the hell are you doing to my office woman?!"

"You no good dirty cheating bastard. Fuck you."

"Fuck me? No fuck you, you crazy old bat."

Diane pushes him away and stands holding the knife to his chest. Rowan smirks as he stands fearless in front of her.

"Do it... go ahead honey."

Diane growls in anger and goes to jab him in the abdomen but is stopped by his hand holding her wrist. He pulls her into his arms and holds her hand, which is still holding the knife, but now it's to her neck.

"Wrong move sweetheart. Now are we through playing these little games?"

Diane nods. Rowan drops her hand then backhands her making her fly back to the ground. Tyson finally steps in and pushes his father making Rowan turn around. Tyson throws a punch at Rowan's jaw. Rowan throws an uppercut and a jab. As Tyson bends over in pain, Rowan snatches the knife from Diane who is on the ground holding her face. Rowan holds the knife under Tyson's chin with an evil smile.

"What the hell is going on around here? You all are running wild! Where's the order? Where's the control?"

He glances over at Georgia who was frozen by the door.

"You... you did this..."

Georgia shakes her head as he makes his way over pointing the knife at her.

"You did Georgia. Everything was fine before you came along. But now I know how to fix it. I'll get my order and control back. I promise you that."

He glares at Georgia before swiftly moving past her and stomping down the stairs. Georgia lets out a breath of relief. Tyson helps his mom stand up. Diane looks at Georgia and shakes her head.

"You ruined this family. Now I'm going to ruin you."

.....

More weeks pass and it's more and more torturous for Georgia. Every night that passes by she fears Diane will come break down her door and kill her in her sleep.

Every weekend Noah makes his presence known and makes sure to 'spend time' with Georgia to her dismay before he leaves away for college again.

Garrett had still not made an appearance.

Rowan spent even more time away from home. And now he didn't even hide the fact that he was cheating. Many nights he came home with a half empty bottle of wine, crinkled clothes, and lipstick stains everywhere. Some nights he actually brought his secretary into his office.

Diane had officially gone crazy. She drank and drank and drank. And when Rowan's secretary was in the house she would sit outside the office door and just listen to her husband cheat.

Tyson was the only sane one... and that's saying something. He had never touched Georgia again, never gave her any creepy looks, and always tried to protect her whenever he could.

The only good thing that came out of all of this was Georgia's new friend. At school she had run into a new guy in the hallway. He had just moved from Minnesota and he was super funny and smart. But there was also something bad about him being so smart.

Georgia had to wear a lot of makeup to cover her bruises, scars, and cuts because her friend was so very observant.

"Hey Beau!"

Georgia runs into Beau's arms as he stands by her locker waiting for her. He smiles as he hugs her tightly. Letting go he sees a dark shadow hiding on her cheek that held a small healed cut.

"You okay?"

Georgia nods quickly. Beau notices that Tyson, who he learned was her adoptive brother, was standing nearby watching. He never liked Tyson. He didn't like any of that family. He saw them a lot on tv when the news was on and there was just something weird and off about all of them.

"Yes I'm fine!"

He looks into her eyes and sees a far off look in them but he chooses not to mention anything. He didn't want to upset her so he let it go.

"Hey so my house five o'clock today... science project. Meet me after last period and we'll walk together."

Georgia nods pulling a piece of hair behind her ear, "Yes I remember. Sounds like a plan."

"Alright I'll see you later."

She nods and leaves to her photography class. Beau watches as Tyson glares at him then follows after Georgia. Beau frowns slightly then shakes his head.

'There is just something I'm not seeing.'

.....

Georgia sits in her favorite class as she waits for the teacher to appear. Finally after the bell rings, a tall slim brunette makes her way into the room. Her hair was super long and her eyes as brown as chocolate.

"Alright my lovelies, today you all should've brought your cameras from home. We will be going over all the controls and tricks to DSLR's."

Everyone takes out their cameras except Georgia who sits looking embarrassed even though she knows no one is watching. She looks down at her hands and sighs.

Ever since Rowan broke her phone, she hadn't been allowed to have any electronics. If she need to do homework she would have to do it in the library before going home or use Tyson's laptop. How could she be so stupid to not think eventually they would need to use their cameras in this class.

The teacher shows the class a few tricks and controls before letting them off to try things on their own. She walks around the room slowly watching everyone press buttons. Coming up to Georgia's table she frowns as she sees Georgia's space empty minus her textbook that she had been writing notes in.

"Georgia where's your camera?"

Georgia is very grateful that the lady was whispering. She was already embarrassed enough to not be prepared for class.

"I don't have one Ms. Swan. I'm so sorry. Maybe I should just transfer out-"

"Nonsense honey here you can have mine."

Georgia stares at the Nikon that Ms. Swan had places in front of her on the desk.

"Have to use?"

"Have to keep!"

The teacher smiles lightly as she watches Georgia's eyes fill with anticipation and thankfulness.

"Wow that's just so- thank you."

She nods and walks back to the front of the room. As class goes on she watches Georgia figure out the small machine. She had felt so bad for the girl. Her dad was the mayor, yet they couldn't get her a cheap DSLR camera. It didn't make sense to her.

The bell rings signaling the end of class. Georgia finds Tyson and tells him about her going to Beaus house for a project.

In the hallway she finds Beau and together they walk to his house, which is only a few minutes away. The two go upstairs and work on their science project for an hour, until they hear the front door open.

"Beau I'm home."

"Yeah and we brought pizza!"

'That voice sounds really familiar...'

Beau smiles and nudges Georgia who smiles lightly, "Want to meet my mom and her bestie?"

Georgia chuckles then nods, "Sure."

The two race down the stairs and as soon as they turn the corner Georgia freezes with a shocked face for two reasons.

One.

Glancing from Beau's mom to him, she immediately sees the common facial features and dark hair. Except Beau was sporting crystal blue eyes. Ms. Swan was Beau's mother.

And two.

As Georgia looked into those familiar heartwarming green eyes, she can't help but squeal and run into the arms of Jamie Young.

Jamie cries in joy as she holds on tightly to Georgia. She hadn't heard from her in now what would be almost two years. She was now 16 years old, Jamie hated that she missed out on so much.

Georgia cries happily into Jamie's shoulder. The familiar embrace made her miss being home at foster care so much. That was more of a home than where she was now.

Flashes of Rowan using her as a punching bag go through her mind, and she sadly remembers that she cannot tell Jamie anything. She knew that Jamie would try to make it right, but Georgia didn't want to take any chances.

"How are you honey?" Jamie raises a hand to touch Georgia's cheek but Georgia harshly flinches back.

"You okay honey?"

Georgia nods but starts to freak out as all eyes are on her, "Yeah sorry I-I just have to use the bathroom..."

"Okay go ahead we'll still be here."

Georgia quickly disappears into the bathroom. Holding onto the counter she reaches into her jacket pocket and takes out a bottle of medicine that she took for her anxiety. She swallows it without water and frowns looking at her reflection in the mirror.

'Everything will be okay. Don't say a word to them and they stay alive.'

Back in the kitchen, Jamie frowns as she watches Georgia leave, "Is she okay?"

Beau shrugs with a sad frown, "I don't know. Lately she's been kind of off. She's been out a few times at school, because she been sick. So I just assumed she's still trying to recover."

Jamie shakes her head, "That girl is not the Georgia I know... Rebecca you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Rebecca stares at the spot where Georgia just was and frowns. There was something wrong and she knew exactly what it was, because she had gone through the same thing.

She saw the definite harsh flinch and the uneven makeup. Even the small spot where she didn't hid enough and Rebecca knew instantly that she was covering bruises.

She wanted to tell Jamie, but she also didn't want to invade Georgia's privacy and ruin the trust they had. She knew if she could do anything it was making a case with evidence. And of course she needed to talk to Georgia and see if she really was in harm. And she needed to do it soon.

So now we meet Beau and his mom who happen to be part of the Swan family. And no Miss Swan is not Bella's mom. You will find out how they are related soon.

What do we think is going to happen now?

Fav character?

Future predictions?
