Chapter 53: No peace

Sage Miller

Nothing felt normal or easy; it didn't feel like anything at all. Everything was numbingly painful. I ran a hand through my face and took a deep breath then decided to go downstairs. I couldn't avoid Connor forever.

I heard him come home a little while ago but I wasn't in the mood to talk. I'm positive Sebastian told him what I did and I'm not proud of how I reacted. It wasn't my finest hour.

I held on the railing for balance while slowly ascended the stairs. Nothing felt normal, it was as if everything was on slow motion and on limbo at the same time. Everything was so numb, like the air in the eye of the storm.

The wood on the middle step screeched causing Connor to turn around. I held my breath and almost spun around and ran back to my room.

Both of us stared at each other to see who would react first but Connor smiled and said hello. I couldn't master a smile so I gruffly replied with a hello.

He was surprisingly cheery, not really surprising since he's always like this. I don't know exactly what mood I expected him to be in but I guess I didn't expect it to be normal.

He made small talk then I decided to move again and finished walking down the steps.

"I brought grilled cheese sandwich. It's on the kitchen counter." He said and went back to watching some car show he was watching before I came down.

I past by him and he was holding a little bowl that was filled with gummy bears.

I wasn't actually hungry or even had an appetite. The doctor warned me that I wouldn't have an appetite for a few days but I should eat.

I decided to take a bottle of water from the fridge but the water tasted like acid. The doctor also warned me that things might taste shitty for a few days.

I lost the little appetite I had then decided to go watch tv with Connor.

"New batch?" I asked pointing at the bowl in his hands. I was attempting to make small talk.

"Yeah, Sebastian is still supplying me. A year long supply and whatnot. He was here earlier." I immediately tensed thinking back to how unreasonable I acted this morning when was here to support me.

"What did he tell?" I asked wry.

"Umm, nothing just that you weren't feeling well still." He answered confused and frowning.

"Oh!"

"Why, was he suppose to tell me something?" He asked.

"Nothing that I know of." I replied aloof wondering of Sebastian.

"He did tell me you and Kate broke up though." He told me and I snapped my head to him.

"Umm yeah we did."

"Can't say I'm surprised thou, I had a feeling she had something to do with what happened to you, I'm right ain't I?"

"I don't wanna talk about it." I told him in a quiet grumpy tone.

"Okay cool." He paused for a moment. "But I wanna talk about something."

"As long as it isn't Kate related, sure." I warmed him.

Kate is my trigger and nothing good comes out of thinking about her. I need to keep her of my mind before I drive to her house and murder in her sleep.

"Actually it isn't about her. It's about your sister's boyfriend." I frowned confused.

"It's about Styles?" I asked him not seeing where this conversation was going.

"Yeah, I didn't know his name." He said and before he could continue someone knocked.

I heard the door opening before either of us got up to get the door.

I quickly stood up, same with Connor. Both of us on high alert.

Sebastian popped up looking frenzy and frantic and worried.

"You scared us." Connor said and threw a pillow at him.

"That's not important right now." He brushed him off and walked fully inside the living room.

"You haven't heard, have you?" He asked me timidly and I immediately got worried.

My palms were sweating without even knowing what was wrong. I knew a storm was approaching.

"Heard what?" I asked him then looked back at Connor then back at Sebastian alarmed.

My heart was beating was fast I felt it in my skull.

"Umm, your sister was arrested thirty minutes ago." I felt like the words were on fast forward and on slow motion at the same time.

Time slowed down for me while everything else carried on at the normal pace. I felt suffocated and light headed. I felt like the ground beneath my feet was shaking to its core opening a sink whole and swallowing me .

I stretch my hand and grabbed Connor for support as I slowly sat down.

"What?" I whispered.

"The G-Styles called me to let you know and he said he's working on getting her out today. He already has people working on that right now..." My brain zone the rest of what he said out.

My ears were ringing. I couldn't imagine how scared she is right now alone in a jail cell.

Then it clicked to me that she was in a jail cell at the police station where her rapist work. My anxiety levels skyrocketed at that moment. My brain started going 180 a second.

"I wanna go see her." I told them then realized I said t quietly and they didn't hear me. I stood and repeated to them only a little louder this time.

I have to be there for her. She can't be alone right now.

"I have to get to Eve right now." I mumble grabbing her car keys and literally ran out the door. I didn't think they'd follow me but they did.

The whole way to the police station I felt like the car was driving itself, I was on limbo trying to get there as soon as possible but I couldn't get there fast enough. I violated every road safety law that exist on my way there and as soon as I got to the Miami PD headquarters, I parked recklessly hoping no cop paid any attention and ran inside.

I found a nice grown lady at the front.

"Please, her name is Evernly Wren Miller." I begged the old woman. "She's eighteen and I'm her brother."
