3rd Person's POV

"So G tell me about how you've been? Why haven't you answered my texts?"

Georgia looks up from her plate of spaghetti and stares at Jamie with a grimace.

"Sorry I dropped my phone in the pool and haven't gotten the time to go get a new one. But I've been good."

Jamie smiles but frowns on the inside. She had felt like Georgia was keeping something from her, but she had no idea what.

This wasn't the same girl she knew.

This wasn't G.

"Aw okay... well you'll have to let Mr. Sawyer know. Maybe someone can take you to go get a new one. You should have that monthly allowance coming in."

Georgia smiles and nods.

'Monthly?'

Georgia thinks back to the first and last time Rowan Sawyer had given her the money for her wellbeing. That was the first week she moved into the house. Sadly, she hadn't received anything else. She knew he was pocketing the money, but what could she do.

Beau looks over at his friend and notices that the dark shadow of makeup on her cheek had slightly worn off. He now saw a deep purple and blue bruise. His teeth clench in anger as he thinks about the worst things possible for her to get a bruise. He decided to ask her about it later.

Rebecca tries her hardest to eat and not stare at her son's friend, Georgia, however she can't help but notice the exact small movements and ticks that she had when she was younger. She watches Georgia's eyes look around intensely with every five minutes before she lets out a sigh and relaxes her shoulders.

She knew there was something wrong and she planned to watch her over the next few days to see if anything about her changed. Glancing over at her best friend, Jamie, she saw the warm smile that she wore and the kind, caring eyes that were laid upon Georgia.

In an instant, she knew if anything was actually wrong, there was no way she could tell Jamie about this right now without evidence. The girl would go in guns blazing. Not only that, but Rebecca knew how painful it would be for Jamie. These foster kids were like her own children. If anything happened to them it would break her.

Later after dinner, Jamie and Rebecca wash the dishes and let Georgia and Beau go up to his room to finish their project. Beau glances at Georgia every once and a while as she looks focused writing on a poster board.

"You're staring again."

"Hm?" Beau shakes his head and pays attention as Georgia smiles looking at him.

"I said you're staring. What's wrong?"

Beau sighs and sits on the floor beside her. Georgia frowns at his serious face.

"Seriously... What? Are you okay?"

"Georgia... Are you okay? Are you... I don't know how to even say this..."

Georgia's eyebrows furrow, "What? You can say it..."

"Are you being hurt? Is anyone at home doing anything they shouldn't be? I can clearly see the bruise on your cheek and everyday I see Tyson... there's just something about him... all of them. I don't like it. I feel like they're all off."

Georgia freezes.

She hoped that Beau wouldn't say anything to his mom leading his mom going to the police. Rowan had connections and there was no way she would let Beau, Ms. Swan, and even Jamie get hurt because of her.

"What? No of course not Beau. You're so silly. I did this to myself on accident. I'm so clumsy. So I was in the kitchen, I opened a cabinet and turned around to grab something off the island... totally forgetting that I was close to the cabinet door. I just knocked my cheek on the edge of the cabinet and it's bruising now. Seriously I'm fine. I promise."

Beau frowns still not believing her.

Everything about her body language screamed help but her eyes and her smile were so innocent and so peaceful.

"Alright I believe you... for now. If there's anything going on I'm here for you. And my mom, and Jamie. Really... you'll tell us right?"

Georgia's lips twitch as she smiles but Beau doesn't see, "Of course."

...

Rebecca seethes in anger as she discreetly looks at the dark makeup hue around Georgia's eye. There was no way this was a coincidence. Beau had told her that Georgia said the bruise on her cheek she got from running into a cabinet. Now the black eye hidden behind makeup is from dropping a picture she was hanging in her room, on her eye.

It had only been two days.

There was something going on.

RING RING

Everyone in class jumps up from their seats and make their way to the door. Georgia quickly gets her things together but drops her notebook when someone bumps into her. She groans and slowly bends down to pick it up.

Rebecca watches as Georgia slowly bends down to pick up her notebook as her face holds nothing but pain. Her bag slips off her shoulder making her jacket slide off her arm. Rebecca holds in a gasp as she sees a dark purple handprint wrapped around her arm near her shoulder.

Georgia quickly pulls up her jacket then looks around to see if anyone saw. Thankfully everyone was gone and Ms. Swan was looking down grading some papers.

Georgia finally picks up her book and starts to walk towards the door.

"Georgia... Jamie asked me how you were doing."

Georgia stops at Ms.Swan's desk and smiles, "I'm good. I miss Jamie a ton."

"She missed you way more... believe me."

Georgia's smile starts to falter as she watches Ms. Swan's eyes tear up, "You okay Ms. Swan?"

Rebecca clears her throat and shakes her head quickly with a smile, "Yeah I'm fine honey. Why don't I write you a pass to your next class?"

Georgia nods. After giving her the pass, Rebecca frowns and thinks hard about what to do.

"Georgia I know I'm just your teacher-"

Rebecca smiles as Georgia points out, "Favorite teacher."

"Aw that's so sweet. Well you're my favorite student. So talented and smart. Such a beautiful girl... Georgia if there is anything at all that you need... please let me know. If you ever just need to talk or anything at all... I'm here. Jamie too."

Georgia's face hardens as she gives a stone cold look with hard eyes yet still wearing a smile, "Yeah of course. I'll be sure to do that."

Rebecca sighs knowing that exact face. She quickly rips out a piece of paper out a notebook on her desk and writes down her phone number. She hands it to Georgia who looks at it in shock.

"I mean it Georgia... anything at all."

Georgia nods and turns to walk away.

"You understand?"

Georgia freezes at the door and turns to look at Ms. Swan, "Mhmm I understand."

...

"Yes I believe she is being harmed at home."

"Do you have any evidence? Any reason as to why you believe this?"

"Well I saw it with my own eyes-"

"You saw her being abused?"

Rebecca growls as the cop interrupts her. Her nails tap on the desk in annoyance.

"No I saw her bruises. I haven't seen anything else but I just know there's something going on behind closed doors. I was once in the same situation."

The police nods and writes something down. He sighs and looks back up at her, "Alright. I can probably have a squad car drive down to the house and just do a small routine check. That's the best I can do."

"That's fine. Better than nothing at all."

"Okay, what's the name of the family?"

"The Sawyers-"

"Rowan Sawyer, the mayor? Yeah right."

Rebecca frowns as the cop chuckles to himself. She glares at him and slams her hand down.

"This is not a joking matter. A teenage girls life is in danger."

The police man looks back at the now quiet station as everyone stares at Rebecca. She doesn't even move as she stares him down.

"Listen Ms, come back with some evidence and actual news and we'll be happy to help you. For now I can't do anything. Sorry."

Rebecca curses and storms out the police station. She falls to the ground and sits on the curb as she thinks about the next step. Her phone rings making her hurry and dig in her purse.

"What Beau? I told you I can't make dinner right now.  I'm out doing something important-"

"Ms. Swan please I need your help-"

The phone line goes dead.

Rebecca stares at the phone eerily as the dial tone continues. She knew exactly whose voice that was and she prayed to God that was the only thing she was right about.

She stands up and grabs her keys then runs to her car. Jumping inside she turns on the car and quickly dials Jamie.

"Hello?"

"Jamie, it's me."

"Oh hey Becks. I was just baking some cookies. Wanna come over and watch Bridesmaids? I-"

"No! Jamie listen to me carefully, there's something wrong with the Sawyers. Georgia just called me and said she needed help and she sounded really scared. I need their address right now."

"W-what?" Jamie stammers in slight shock.

"Jamie stay with me. Please, you have to give the address now. I just know something bad is happening. I have a horrible feeling about all of this."

Jamie quickly runs to her office and repeats the address to Rebecca then puts her coat on and jumps inside her car as well.

After getting off the phone with Jamie, Rebecca races down the road. As she drives up the road to the Sawyers house, she sees their black SUV driving away almost 100mph. She gulps as they speed past her and continue down the street.

Quickly pressing the gas, Rebecca finally comes up to the house. As she gets to the black gate she notices that the security is gone. Parking her car, she steps out and goes into the security booth, then opens the gate and walks through. She walks up to the front door as her heart beats out of her chest. Her hand touches the door knob but it is locked when she turns it. Sighing, she looks down and picks up a big rock then slams it down onto the doorknob, breaking it.

She pushes the door open cautiously and takes a step inside. Just as she goes to take another step, a hand grasps her shoulder.

She screams as Jamie also screams then slaps Rebecca's arm.

"You scared me."

"Me?! You just walked up on me without a sound. Make some noise next time."

"Sorry. Where is everyone?"

"I don't know. I saw their car speeding away a few minutes ago. I just have a really bad feeling."

Jamie nods in agreement.

This whole thing just felt eerie.

Rebecca grabs Jamie's hand and the two walk in deeper into the house. They freeze as they hear a very light groan. Looking at each other they glance up at the stairs and then take steps one by one to the top. As they get to the end of the hall, they see a door with a G on the top and let out a breath. Rebecca opens the door and the two take one step inside.

"Ah!"

...

"Up?"

"I like that movie. But I always cry during it and I don't feel like having a headache tonight."

Tyson nods and presses the skip button.

Him and Georgia has been in her room trying to find a movie to watch. He sat on her computer chair as she sat on her bed. It took a lot of time before she even felt comfy with him being in her room, but she was glad to have at least one person in this crazy family on her side.

Tyson freezes as he hears stomps coming up the stairs. A knock on Georgia's door makes her jump in fright. Tyson gives her a reassuring smile before standing up and walking over to the closed door. He opens it then scoffs at the person on the other side of the door.

"What do you want? When did you even get here?"

"This morning when you two were school. And mom wants you."

Georgia's stomach starts to turn into knots as Tyson glances back at her.

"I'll be right back."

He closes the door after he leaves then she hears him run down the stairs. After a second, the door slightly opens making her freeze.

"Little one I know you're in there..."

Georgia starts to tear up hearing Noah's voice. She sits in shock as he comes inside the room and then closes and locks the door. She watches him smirk evilly before making his way over to her as she sits frozen in fear.

"Now now... you aren't trying to make me jealous by hanging out with my baby brother are you?"

Georgia shakes her head hastily, "No."

He chuckles unamused, "It seems like someone is being a bad girl."

A tear slides down Georgia's cheek as he kneels down in front of her gripping her thighs.

"I'm not, I promise."

"Oh really you promise?"

Georgia nods. Noah smiles before gripping her jaw with one hand. She looks at him wide eyed as a flood of tears race down her face.

"You're lying to me you slut-"

"Get off her!"

Georgia lets out a gasp as she tries to catch her breath. She watches Tyson run from the bathroom and tackle Noah to the ground, then she sits frozen as they start to beat each other up. The door is kicked open and Rowan comes storming into the room.

"What the hell is going on here?"

He sees Tyson choking the life out of Noah and quickly tries to break them up.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you, you fucking creep!"

"Says the one who started it all!"

The three start pushing, shoving and arguing as Georgia stands up and slowly makes her way towards the bathroom door. Just as she turns around to open it, she feels a sharp pain in her stomach.

Gasping in pain, she looks down and sees a knife embedded in her gut. She looks back up and sees Diane glaring at her with menacing eyes.

"That's what you get for ruining my family."

"Ah!"

"Georgia wake up!"

"No please..."

"G!"

Georgia sits up straight quickly and looks around. She notices she's in a small car in the back seat. Looking to her left she sees Beau staring at her cautiously.

"Which one was it this time?"

Georgia sighs as she sits back and lets out a breath of relief, "The knife one."

Beau nods and grabs her hand then squeezes it beige looking out the window, "Everything's okay now."

Georgia nods even though she knows he didn't see. It had been months and almost every night she woke up in a sweat screaming. Every time it was a different nightmare. The worst part was that they were real. But the good thing to come out of it was Beau and Rebecca.

Georgia glances up at the front of the car and sees Rebecca driving. Rebecca looks in the rear view mirror and smiles lightly at Georgia.

"You okay hun?"

Georgia glances outside the car window watching as they pass by a sign that reads, Forks, Washington.

"I am now."
