Chapter 7

"What in the actual Hell are you talking about!"

"Rebecca what did I say about cursing!" my mom reprimanded me.

My father sighed and then turned to look at me in the back seat, "Becs, we decided that if something like this were to happen we were going to send you away with your sister, but Bianchi found us much faster then we had anticipated . . . we can't risk him following you to your grandfather's so we are sending you to a boarding school for the people who are above the 1%. Many people don't know this school even exists or even those kids exist. It has top security and we know someone who we can trust who teaches there."

"What happened to trust nobody?" I ask through gritted teeth, trying to stop the tears that were welling up in my eyes.

"You can trust him because, he is my brother" my father admitted.

"Uncle John? THE uncle John? I thought you said he was in the military." I squinted suspicously at him.

"He WAS in the military, he specifically joined the school board just in case of this very reason, he was the one who even suggested the plan. I would trust him with my life, so I will trust him with yours, Okay?"

I folded my arms and looked out the car window, I felt the tears building back up "Why are you asking me if it's okay? I don't have a choice in this regardless of my answer."

"We are only doing this because we love you, and right now it's only safer for us to be seperated" my mother tried convincing me, but the only thing I could say without my voice betraying me was "I love you guys too".

I was tired of arguing, and I was tired of hiding. I was hidden away before any of this had happened anyways.
