I unlock the front door and see Hulk sitting at the other side wagging his tail waiting "hey boy!" He jumps up on me nearly knocking me down licking my hands "good to see you too boy." I close the door and stick my keys into the key bowl and stroke Hulk's head before heading towards the kitchen looking around "hello?! Grandpa? grandma?!" I run upstairs and look into my grandparents' empty room before looking at Hulk "where is everyone?" Hulk tilts his head and I take a deep breath and walk towards my room closing the door behind Hulk when he runs in after me. I hang my jacket up on the back of the door and the note from Grayson falls out my pocket and onto the floor. I bend down and pick it up before heading over towards the bed sitting down "will we see what mystery boy has too say then boy?" Hulk lies down on the bed next to me look at the note "take that as a yes." 
                          
I turn the note around and see my name on the top of it and unfold it before reading it "Misty I don't want to see my brother or sister hurt so think It's best that you stay away from them and keep your distance from my family!" I laugh awkwardly and turn the paper around "is that it?" I look at Hulk and take a deep breath "he really is a mystery isn't he?" I shrug my shoulders and stick the piece of paper in my bedside drawer closing it. I look at my alarm clock and realise it was 8PM "shit." I quickly stand up and grab a pair of fresh pjs "I guess I should get ready for school tomorrow." I head towards the bathroom grabbing my dressing gown and closing the door behind me. 
                          
I start running a bath and walk towards the mirror as it runs "Misty?!" I jump and look towards the door "I am in the bathroom." I hear my dad knock the door "can I come in?" I open the bathroom door and smile "yeah." He looks at the bath and smiles "I was coming to remind you too go for a bath for school." He nod agreeing towards the bath and smirks "but I guess I don't have too." I smile and look back towards the bath "yip." I look at my dad and laugh "don't want to smell of wet dog and lake water on my first day of school." My dad smiles and nod agreeing "true." He turns around walks towards the door but stops at the front door and turns around "I got to go to work for a bit and your grandparents are at your Aunt Stacey's fixing her car or something so you going to be ok yourself for a while?" I lean against the bathroom door and smile "yeah." I nod towards Hulk sitting on my bed "plus I aren't alone." He looks at Hulk and smiles "true." I walk into the bathroom and start closing the door "see you tomorrow then?" My dad nod agreeing and smiles "ok honey." I close the door and my dad take a deep breath and looks at Hulk "take care of her boy ok?" Hulk tilts his head and barks "good boy." My dad turns around closing the door slightly behind him.
                          
The bath is hall full so I stop the water and walk towards the towel rank and realise there isn't any towels "great." I fling my head back before looking around. I shake my head and walk out the bathroom and head towards the bedroom door and towards the stairs. I stop at the top of the stairs when I hear voices from the bottom of them and lean down and see my dad and another man whispering. I go down two steps and listen in and hear them say my name "I'm telling you Alex the best thing you can do right now for everyone is change her schools." I look down and stop a man I've never seen before standing at the doorway wearing a black leather jacket with his sleeves rolled up showing of a bear tattoo on his arm with spiky biker boots on. He nod agreeing towards my dad and take a deep breath "especially they Denver brothers." My dad rolls his eyes and take a deep breath "I know, I know."
                          
 The man smirks and nod agreeing "so It'ssettled, she must change schools." My dad shakes his head and smiles "I amsorry Zac but I can't do that it will take weeks." My dad shrugs and take adeep breath "months maybe before she's in another school plus the nextschool is miles away. We just need to hope that she makes new friends soon."The man shakes his head slowly and shrugs "and if she doesn't?" My dadshrugs and smiles "the Denver boy did save her so maybe it won't be thatbad." The man laughs nervously "she wouldn't have needed saving if itwasn't for the Denver family." The man rubs his beard "you know thehistory and I'm sorry but I can only seeing this end badly for Misty." The dadtake a deep breath and grabs his jacket "it won't be like last time. Weknow what to expect this time and she's a teenage girl if you tell her too stopspeaking to a boy she will just want to speak to him more." My dad nod agreeingand take a deep breath "let's just hope it dies of and they go theirseparate ways." I shake my head and take a deep breath as I stand up andwalking downstairs smiling.
