Chapter Seventeen

Izzy

I go to open my front door but it's opened for me as a strong pair of arms pulls me into a tight hug. It doesn’t take me long to realise it’s Luke, and he actually sighs in relief at seeing me.

He doesn't say anything just lets go of me and gently pushes me into the house, I hear the door being shut behind me.

“Where is everyone?” I ask as I slip off my shoes and leave my phone on top of a small table by the door.

“Living room.” he says gruffly and walks off that way with me following.

When we walk into the living room, Sebastian’s sat the floor with his back on the sofa, as he watches the TV. Elliot and Harley are having a deep conversation on the other sofa. There are several unopened pizza boxes and coke bottles on the coffee table. Sebastian’s eyes widen as he sees me with a small smile and he turns the TV off, as I walk to stand next to the sofa.

“Come and sit next to me Izzy.” Sebastian says and pats the floor next to him. I join him and smile but he seems as tense as the rest of them as he returns my smile.

Harley clears his throat so that I look at him. I can see the mixture of emotions on his face, worry, anger and mainly stress, making me a little concerned for him.

“We have all agreed to tell you everything, we wanted to keep you out of this but it seems you will find your own way there anyway.” He says with a huff, clearly annoyed at me.

Elliot surprises me by taking over and saying,

“Our father was involved in The Cage, that's the name of the place you went if you didn’t know. There are no rules to fighting in it and our dad was killed by the owner of The Cage for trying to kill him. We are paying off a debt to him for not killing us too because we knew about it and we didn’t try to stop Father. You have to remember, we were just kids when we agreed to his messed up deal.”

Sebastian takes over now, and I turn my attention to him as I try to deal with the information they are telling me. I did not expect this.

“Our father was a power-hungry idiot and we didn't have a good childhood with him, sis. Now we're stuck paying off his debt by fighting in the cage, even we don’t want our lives like this.”

I sit completely shocked for a long time, taking in everything they are saying, as a picture of my father forms in my head without me wanting it to. I guess I have to admit to myself, I knew he wasn't the best person if he knew about me and didn't help my mum with looking after me. I knew she was keeping me hidden with all the moving but did she know how bad he really was?

“This wasn’t what I was expecting,” I mutter to myself.
