Chapter 15: JJ

I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes as Spencer told Derek about what Doyle had done to our parents, and, as soon as I told him about our sister I lost it. The next thing I remembered was Spencer hugging me tight as I cried into his chest.

"What did she look like?" Derek asked, rubbing my hair awkwardly.

"She kinda looked like E-" Spencer began.

"Oh my God what if it's Emily? I mean our sister's name is Emily and she looks like Emily! Was Emily adopted?" I said hysterically, interrupting Spencer.

"My mom is fostering her I think, but she was drugged to forget her past life? I think she was abused or something?" Derek replied shocked.

"Okay! ... Spence its six o'clock! We're late and dad is going to kill us! I said, and we both jumped up our and grabbed our stuff.

"Please don't tell anyone what we told you!" I said hugging Derek tight. We quickly said goodbye and ran home.

Although the beach is usually 20 minute walk, we got home in five minutes. Before we got a chance to catch our breaths, the door opened and Doyle dragged us in.

"What part of be home by six o'clock don't you get?!" he yelled, fist raised. I froze and put my hands t protect my face.

"Ian don't you dare hurt her!" my 'mom' shouted walking out of the kitchen, Emily close behind her. Dad dropped his fist and let go of me, and I went flying into Spencer. Emily looked shocked, but didn't say anything.

"I wasn't going to hurt her Sarah!" replied Ian, giving me a 'you're dead later' look.
