Ever since Cheryl came back to school things had been hell on Cami.The story had gone round and most people blamed her.People were choosing not to be friendly to her and be extra friendly to Cheryl.To make matters worse,her twin,Cass was still mad at her.He was dead serious about staying away from her.
Cass had been devastated.His chances with Cheryl had been blown before there was ever anything to begin with.He saw her walking with Winter to her car after classes.He rushed to catch up to them.“Can I have a word with you please,”he asked catching upto her.Winter stopped.Cheryl continued walking.“Sorry,give us some time in private,”he pleaded then walked past her to Cheryl.
“Cheryl please,”he begged.She kept walking.“Please Cheryl,a minute,”he said trying to keep up with her.He touched her hand and spun her around.“Stop ignoring me.Just talk to me.Or hit me or yell at me, anything,just don't be quiet,”he pleaded.She st
Jim found Peach screaming to somebody over the phone.He waited till she was done.“Hermione is having that Ellie case done again and she claims to have witnesses.And she is taking it to the press too.In three hours time,it will be public,”he said.“What witnesses?”Peach asked.“I don't know Peach.You told me your family took care of that groundsman.What did you do to him?”he asked.“We paid him well,he lives a good quiet life.All the other workers had left when we found Ellie.She is just bluffing, Hermione just wants us to be scared,”she said.“No,she is dead serious.You know she never bluffs.Peach we are fucked,I think I am just gonna confess when she takes proceeds with this,”he said.“Are you insane? Confess to what? If you confess you go to jail and I go to jail and my father goes to jail too.Then who will help Cami get out of jail.Who will take care of Cass?

“What?”Hermione asked.“Yes.Why didn't you tell me?”he asked.He signalled for the bodyguards to leave.“Tell you what?”she asked.“About Cheryl,”he said.Whole time he didn't stop looking at her straight into her eyes.“What about my daughter?”she asked roughly.“She has hht,”he said.“Yes,so what?”she spat.“Hermione,the girl is sixteen.Exactly how long you've been away.And you know I have hht too,”he said.“What are you trying to say?”she asked taking a step back.“That Cheryl is my child, that's what I am trying to say,”he said sternly while taking a step forward.“What makes you think my child is your daughter?”she asked.“Stop playing dumb.I wanna be part of her life,”he said with finality.“The girl is mine,mine and mine alone Jim Brickley.Whatever nonese...”she was saying.“I don't believe you.She even has a bit of familiarity with Ellie,”he said.“Because they are both my children.They have my looks.I am issuing you with a lawsuit,I want you far away from me and
Cheryl ran to the Brickley's home.Peach got out angrily."You've got some nerve showing up here after everything.Aren't you supposed to be in hospital?"she asked."Please ma'am,I just wanna talk to Cass,"Cheryl said.Jim got out too."Peach,I'll handle this,"he said."I don't want you near my son or daughter or my home,do you understand me?"Peach said.Jim covered the rest of the distance between them."Cass isn't home yet.How are you feeling?"he asked.Peach rolled her eyes."I am okay,uuumh thanks,I'll go find him.Its aaah urgent,"she said stammering and rushed back into her taxi."That girl doesn't look any bit okay.I don't want her dying near my home,"Peach said."I am not sure Hermione knows she is out of hospital.I am following her and getting her home safely,"he said rushing in to get his car keys."Oh yes,any chance to see Hermione.She could be holding the gun ready to kill us all and you would still find any excuse to jus.. "she was saying."Last I checked, whatever Cheryl is suffering
One of the bodygusrds opened the door.“Ma'am I think you should read this,”he said handing her the newspaper.On the front page was her photo and the title‘Who Hermione Jones really is’.Hermione stood up.She read through it quickly.This was all Peach.She highlighted how she left town with nothing and came back years later rich and with an illegitimate daughter.The article claimed she had married an old money who died later and she took the money and came back home.The article also highlighted about how Cheryl had on several occasions attacked Cami.This was all Peach.“Whats going on?”Cheryl asked.“Uumh its nothing important.I'll get you discharged hunnie,”she said.Cheryl closed the door.“Mum I asked what the hell is going on,”she insisted.“Its nothing important baby,”she said.“Doesn't seem like it.Look at your face.I wanna know the truth and I wanna know right now,”she said.“The truth about what exactly Cherry?”she asked.“Why we came back to your hometown for start
Cheryl was getting better.She was very stable and awaiting the go-ahead to be discharged by the doctor.She was tired of just sitting in her room.She wanted to go out and take a walk.She stood up slowly and walked to the door.Hopefully her mum wouldn't be around to scold her or stop.She opened the door slowly and was shocked to find three very huge men outside.She was confused."Uuumh excuse me?"she said politely just as Winter arrived."Yes ma'am,"one of the guy said."Who are you?"she asked."We're your bodyguards ma'am.I am Richa..."he was saying."My what?!!"she asked shocked."Whats going on?"Winter asked."I think you have the wrong room maybe,"she said to them."Miss Jones,right?"the bodyguard asked."Yes,"she answered."Then we are in the right place.Your mum hired us to protect you,"he said."Protect me from what exactly?"she asked."Incase of any danger,"he explained."Thats kinda cool,"Winter said smiling.She looked at her sternly.She pulled her inside."You seem to be doing great,"Wint
