Sad truth

                                                    Author’s POV

Steve grip his clothes and stand up.

“I wanted to ask you why Rachael wasn’t wearing her mask today.” Mr Davis said.

“Dad she fell into the water in the pool party today and the mask is kinda ruined. Steve replied.

“You guys have gone through a lot today, go and rest, I will ask one of my doctor’s to come and fix the mask for her tomorrow.’ He stated.

“Thanks, dad.” Steve beamed.                  

“But that doesn’t mean we won’t advise her to go back to her parents, I hope she is aware of it?” he asks and Steve gulp.

“Don’t tell me you haven’t told her yet?” Mr Davis inquired.

“I couldn’t bring myself to tell her,” Steve muttered.

“Go and tell her before it’s too late.” Mr Davis scoffed.

Steve looked at him with pitiful eyes.

“Go and tell her!” he repeated.

Steve walk out of the house and stand on the balcony looking down at Rachael and Lily who was giggling and laughing together.

Steve wanted to hold back, he didn’t want her to stop laughing and he knew the news will break her heart.

He walks down the stairs and sits beside them on the couch.

They started watching a movie on the TV and Lily falls aside, Rachael’s eyes drifted to Lily and she stand up from the couch trying to carry Lily to her room.

“I will take her instead,” Steve said carrying Lily from the couch Rachael walk ahead of them and open the door of Lily’s room for them.

Steve walk into the room and drop Lily on the bed, he uses her duvet to cover her and switch off the light of her room, he closes the door of her room and Rachael attempts to walk to her room.

“Rachael I need to tell you something.” He stated bluntly and she turn to look at him.

“Can’t it wait till tomorrow?” she inquired.

“No, I won’t be able to say it tomorrow.” He declared

“Okay tell me am all ears.” She beamed looking at him.

Steve look around and grasp her hand and drag her into his room.

“What do you want to tell me that you can’t tell me outside.” She inquired removing her hand from his grip.

“The FBI agent know that you live here.” He stated and her face flushed.

“How did they find out?” she asks

“They show me CCTV footage of when I saved you from the bridge.” He stated and she gasps.

“So what do we do now, because they will come back.” She muttered.

“My dad thinks the only option is for you to go back home because the agents told me that they will come back in two days to arrest me.” He stated and she fall on his bed and started crying.

Steve sit beside her on the bed and she hugs him crying in his arms

“As much as I don’t want to go back, I don’t want you to get arrested because of me.”
