My father wanted us all to go to blacks bar, most of the guys he was close to all wanted to come after hearing scarlet worked there, I'm not sure why though, so I intend to find out.

Today went by quite fast as me and dad worked all day, while Jen was shopping all day. When we got to blacks bar she was yet to arrive and the place was yet to open properly. We got let in as we're regulars and pay a lot here.

When she finally arrived she was gorgeous dad looked shocked, Jen wanted to try and talk to her, dad said he would first, they spoke for a bit then everyone came in. Dad tried several times but got nowhere, eventually Jen tried and got brushed off. Everyone was shocked at how cold she was being. But my dad and his friends, they looked guilty but I don't know why?...

I planned on going back tonight to try and talk to her myself, Jen's upset, dads upset and I need to know what's going on, one way or another I will find out what dads hiding and why scarlet is so upset.

What I found out I would've never dreamt of, I remember years ago my father had been taking to his men about a house they shot up that was where one of my mothers killers were, they were planning it out and I was listening outside the door, it's the same street scarlet lived, that means either my father killed an innocent family or her family were involved in my mothers death, I'll need to find out exactly who scarlet and he family were.

After talking with the men that was there at scarlets house we decided we would go to bar to see if she would be there. She was. She was gorgeous and she looked angry. Particularly at Jen. I understand why but it should be at us. At me. Everyone feels guilty over what happened that night. We want her forgiveness but we know that won't happen. So we settle on making sure she's okay. She doesn't look happy to see me either, I tried giving her my number incase she needed something but she just threw it away.

I understand why she's angry with jen, and everyone else but I can see how upset Jen is, she tried to catch her when she finished work but she was brushed off and she's took it quite hard, they were close friends.

Me and the men met up once we got back, they were all surprised at how she turned out, one of the men found some information on her now that we know what she looks like, she grew up from foster family to foster family, one she was removed from because of some issues involving one foster parent which is sealed, only reason for that is if something bad happened, when we seen this file and that it was sealed we knew what it meant, and it's our fault this happened, we took her family.

Scarlet pov

Everyone was acting strange last night, Jen's dad Jacob was just weird, gave me his number and wants to help me? Where was he years ago when my family were killed? where was Jen? I know I sound ridiculous being angry over it but I was there for Jen, and she just abandoned me when I needed her, I forgave her a long time ago but I just don't want anything to do with her and her family.

I spent the day doing errands and cleaning my small apartment, It was time for work so I got ready and headed out, when I got to blacks, none other than Jen's brother was standing. He walks over and asks for a minute to talk, I said no and continued in, he followed me for 2 hours around the bar till eventually I said I'd meet him after my shift

At the end of my shift I met him outside once I locked up,

"Hi"

"What is it? If this is about Jen I'm not interested"

"I was going to do this nicely but screw it! she did nothing wrong, get over it"

"Nothing wrong? Nothing wrong? Her mother died and I was there, I went to the wake, I sat when she cried, I defended her to bullies who made fun of her for not having a mother. My parents and sister were murdered in my home, I have scars from that night, glass scars on my back from where I landed, a bullet wound that I barely survived and she couldn't pick up a damn phone to call me? see if I was okay? She didn't bother to see if I was alive, I stayed at the other side of town, she could've visited any of the homes I was in, there's only 2 schools in this town and she could've visited there aswell, she didn't because she didn't care, I forgave her a long time ago, I just want nothing to do with her"

"....."

"What? Can't defend ur sister? Have I still to get over it?

"Y..your parents were killed? in a shooting in your home?"

"Yes, police told the school it was a car accident, they never found who did it, but I will, and when I do, I'll make them pay"

"When? Where was this? I didn't hear anything about anything"

"Years ago, we stayed at the outside of town, maryway drive" then I walked away got into my cab and went home.
