I can see it in her eyes that she wants to fight with me about her being here but it's like she is to weak and tired to even try. But it gives me time to come up with answers to all the questions she will eventually ask me. I was cooking breakfast until I saw Alex start to wake up. I walked out to the living room and sat on the couch next to her.
"Is what you told the police true?" She asked once she saw me sitting their.
"Every word." I replied.
"So John actually did that to you all those years?" She asked another question.
"Yeah, but it wasn't as bad as what he made me do to you, or what he did to you." I told her.
"Why did he do what he did?" She asked.
"His father always had done it to him because his father wanted power over him, so John wanted power over his whole family to. So when we got you as a foster child that's when it all started, he drank just like his old man. Then when Noah and Brandon came along John saw it as a way to have more power, but you protected them which made John angry. He felt as if some of his power was being taken away, so he hurt you more." I explained, and after I did it felt good to have it off my chest.
"Is that the reason why he has been coming after me all these years?" She questioned.
"Yeah, he wanted to feel in charge and in power." I responded.
"Then why did he give us away?" She asked.
"At that time he kind of hit a peak, he drank a lot more and I guess he couldn't handle it all. But a little while after that he wanted the power again so he came looking for you guys and after he found out what had happened to Noah and Brandon he thought he lost all power. So he blamed you for what happened to them." I answered.
"Noah and Brandon are still alive." She told me.
"I know, and John's dead." I said.
"But now their is Dustin coming after me. What is your connection with Dustin?" She asked me.
"Dustin is my oldest, before Jackson. Dustin is just like John. When he was growing up John taught him to fight and so when Dustin got older him and John started fighting. I didn't want it but I couldn't stop John." I told her.
"Do you know what John did to me before he gave us away?" She asked.
"No." I said curiously.
"He did unspeakable things." She told me, I took a second to think about it until it popped.
"I'm so sorry Alex." I apologized, not just for that time but for everything that John did or what he made me do.
"My family calls me AJ." She told me.
"I'm sorry AJ." I corrected.
"I said my family calls me that, and that doesn't include you." She told me coldly but I deserve it after everything that has happened.
"When can I go home?" She asked me.
"I'm keeping you here to protect you from Dustin and his men." I told her.
"My family is probably worried about me." She said.
"I know, how about we call your mom later but for now how about you rest." I told her.
"I'm not tired." She protested.
"Fine, do you want some water?" I asked her.
"Sure." She replied.
I got off the couch and went to the kitchen and got her a glass of water but before I brought it out to her I looked in my medicine cabinet and got out some dis-solvable sleeping pills. I stirred two of them into her water and then walked back out to the living room.
