Sorry it's been a while, but here's the next part.
Both Coralie and Jaxon stood up as Mr. Smith approached.
“I wonder what happened.” whispered Jaxon to no one in particular.
“What do you mean?” asked Coralie, also in a whisper.
“He never comes home early.” he said. “Only if…”
Addy hugged her father, and when he spoke, he talked directly to Jaxon.
“Reyes offered for Coralie to stay with him and Sage for a while.” he said.
“What?” Coralie and Jaxon said in unison. The girl looked between Mr. Smith and his son.
“Yeah. It was kind of sudden, but Sage agreed. Coralie can go over whenever she’s ready.” Mr. Smith was smiling, glancing between the two teens in front of him.
Coralie’s throat got all dry. Jaxon nudged her lightly on the arm and she stole a look at him. He had half a smile across his face.
“You heard him, right?” Jaxon said softly.
Coralie nodded.
“I told you they wouldn’t send you back to your brothers.”
Coralie’s thoughts instantly went back to her two siblings. She saw Carson and Christopher’s faces in her mind, and she began the hear their angry voices yelling at her.
“Coralie?”
“What’s going to happen to them?” she whispered.
“I’m sorry?”
“Christopher and Carson.” Coralie muttered, staring at a patch of grass near her feet.
Jaxon looked at his father, where all traces of a smile had disappeared.
“The Ministry will take care of them.” said Mr. Smith. “Don’t worry about it.”
She nodded her head in understanding and glanced at Jaxon, who staring back at her. Something twinged in the back of the girl’s mind. It’s only been a couple of days and her entire life had flipped around. She didn’t have to worry about her brothers, or her dad, or anything for that matter.
Thanks for all of the replies! I love ya!
