Serena's POV

I sat down on my bed with Barbara, and Uncle Jim sat in the chair in my room. Weird huh, how I was closer to his fiancé rather then my uncle himself. Honestly, I preferred Barbara over him. She was so nice, and funny. 

"What exactly happened?" Uncle Jim asked.

I took a deep breath.

"There was this man. He took his parent's money, and his mom's necklace, and then he shot them." I quickly said.

"He didn't aim at you and Bruce?" He asked.

I shook my head.

Barbara pulled me close to her.

"I'm going to figure out who did this." Uncle Jim said.

"I want to help!" I said, jolting up.

"It's too dangerous!" Uncle Jim and Barbara said at the same time.

"I need to help." I insisted. 

"No Serena. You need to stay here, and get better." Uncle Jim said.

"I am better. I wasn't shot." I snapped.

"Mentally! That's what I meant. Don't argue." Uncle Jim said.

I felt anger fill inside of me. I got up and started walking toward him as he was leaving.

"Why not?! You've always ignored me my whole entire life! Scratch that! You ignored everyone! I never saw you! Never once! I didn't even know who Barbara was until yesterday!" I yelled.

"I was busy." Uncle Jim said.

"Busy enough to forget my dad and my birthday? Sure." I growled.

"Serena, it's not-" Uncle Jim started.

"No, just stop. I never wanted to live with you in the first place! I hate you!" I yelled and shoved passed him.

"Serena!" Uncle Jim yelled.

I sprinted toward the door and opened it.

Then I sprinted outside.
