Chapter 24
Dad’s back stiffen before he swiftly turns around to face me. His brows almost to his hairline as he regards me in shock. I couldn’t blame him, I never got into trouble, never caused it either.
But now hearing that his well mannered daughter was the cause of a fight that involved her brother was definitely not something he heard everyday. Mom leaves the boys and walks over to me. Her eyes portray worry as she brings me to her side.
The tears I blinked away a second ago now flowed freely, coating my cheeks with moisture. I sniffled as mom pulled me more into her embrace. “I’m so sorry daddy, I’m so sorry.” I cried as mom
shushed me, brushing her hand down my lengthy tresses.
“It’s all my fault, I did something stupid at the party and I’m now paying for it. It’s not Arden’s fault, it’s mine, he was just protecting me like he usually does.” I said hoarsely. Dad’s eyes soften drastically before walking over to me.
“Mind telling us what you did Ashley?” Dad asked gauging for a reaction from his question.
Arden groans loudly, gaining everyone’s attention. “Dad leave her be, it’s not like she murdered anyone.” He rolled his eyes, crossing his arms and leaned back on the wall.
“Yeah like you almost had done?!” Dad retorts, not at all pleased. He then brings his attention back to me. “What did you do to cause a fight between Arden and his cla*smate?”
Arden snorts, yet again disturbing the conversation with his blunt indifference. “Dad you really need to relax the guy’s not dead.” He says boredly blowing out a fake yawn.
“Arden enough of your nonsense, you need to understand that what you did was wrong, stop
acting like you did a good thing!” Dad hissed turning to glare at him.
