The sharpest lives

Abigale**)

Waking up at four in the morning after only getting two hours of sleep is really exhausting.

Jack was currently busy talking with Brendon and Ryan about last night's events. And I was slowly falling asleep on the couch, "Abbi" I heard someone whisper "Shhhh, She fell asleep" I hear another voice whisper "Okay but this is kinda serious. I need her awake in no less than an hour, That's when I'll be back from picking up Tyler" I heard May's voice order. My heart started racing, She didn't want me. She read my file and now she want's to send me back... I felt a hand start rubbing my back "Shh, It's okay" Jack, I think whispered, but it could have been Frank... Either way, it didn't calm me down too much... I got repositioned and was now being cradled "Abigale, It's okay" I whimpered a little. Why doesn't anyone want me...

A warm hand was placed gently on my cheek "Why doesn't anyone want me" I asked to whoever was near me "What do you mean?" I could hear voices more clear now and I could hear that it was Jack that was talking to me, I sniffled and opened my eyes looking up at him "My parents, and the several foster homes after that. Now probably May too" my voice cracked Jack shook his head at me "May wouldn't do that" He stated, I just shrugged "Abbi, She wouldn't. Do. That." Jack said forcefully. I said nothing and just snuggled my head back into his chest.

But that was short lived because the next thing I knew I was being jumped on by Tyler "HI ABIGALE" he shouted excitedly "Hey Ty" I smiled at him "Okay, Go play in your room, for now, I have to talk to Abbi about something." May demanded sweetly "Okay!" Tyler giggled before running down the hall.

I sat up from Jacks lap and positioned myself beside him. "Jack you to-" "Wait, He can stay..." I don't know why but I wanted him there for whatever was about to happen. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Frank in the kitchen. What the fuck he's here too?

May sighed "Okay. I read up on your file" She began, tears were already in my eyes... Jack grabbed my hand reassuringly "A-a-an-and" I questioned, All eyes were on me now. May's, Jack's and Franks "This will be hard to hear, Are you sure you don't want to go somewhere privet?" I shook my head "What is it" I couldn't help but shake in fear.

"The people, Who we took you from" I cast my gaze up "M-My parents?" she shook her head "Abigale, They weren't your real parents" I felt bile rise up my throat "I.. I was adopted?" her face went ghost white "You weren't in the charts for foster care or adoption till you were 10" I shook more "What are you saying?" I stuttered out "W-was I kidnapped?" I felt tears fall down my face "We're trying to figure that out right now" I nodded, still in shock. There was a sob that fell from Frank before he collapsed to his knees in the archway between the kitchen and living room. My eyes widened remembering what he had told me this morning, this whole thing probably triggered him.

"Ma-May..." Frank's voice shook "I ne-... I need to tall-talk to you" He choked out, She nodded knowingly and lead him to some room in the house.

I was left sitting beside Jack, just looking off into space "Even my birth parents didn't want me" I sighed and Jack pulled me right into him "We don't know that yet, Abbi, This could be a misunderstanding" He explained "B-but" "No buts... Shhh" He interrupted, rocking me back and forth.

"BECAUSE THATS NOT FUCKING FAIR, I WOULD DESERVE TO KNOW!" Franks voice, legit made me jump out of Jacks lap. There was thumping around the hall then something was thrown against the wall. My eyes widened and I froze, Soon Tyler was running down the hall with tears falling from his eyes.

Surprisingly he ran right into my arms. I held him protectively as Frank started shouting again. I was frozen in place.

"JACK, GET TY AND ABBI OUT" May shouted as another thing was thrown.

He wasted no time in grabbing my arm and leading me to the door. My eyes were still wide with fear as we stepped outside. Tyler seemed to relax but I had to focus on keeping him safe, Just in case.

Jack walked closer to me and I flinched "Hey, It's okay" Jack whispered, "Ty, is it okay if she puts you down now?" He asked the small boy in my arms "I guess" Tyler mumbled, slipping out of my arms and went to sit down on the bench swing.

You could still hear the argument from inside due to the open window next to us.

"Are you okay?" Jack asked from right in front of me. I was about to tell him yes before Franks shouts stopped me again.

"WELL THEN WHY DONT WE ALL TAKE A NICE TRIP DOWN TO THE STATION, MEET UP WITH THE SCUMMY SONSABITCHES AND FIND OUT JUST HOW THE FUCK THEY GOT HER! SET UP A LITTLE MEETING WITH ALL YOUR COP FRIENDS AND TELL THEM TO GET THE CUNTS THERE TO EXPLAIN" his voice was deep and terrifying "Frank, Sweetie it doesn't work like that" May said calmly "YOU ARE A COP FOR FUCK SAKE, PULL SOME STRINGS, DONT LEAVE THE POOR GIRL WONDERING WHERE THE FUCK HER REAL PARENTS ARE!" How could Maybe so calm while he's like this?*_*_*_*_*_* "Listen Frank, Thigs like this take time, We also need to be sure Abigale is okay with this. She might not want to confront them" May tried reasoning.

There was silence after that until the front door opened. I spun around to see Frank walking towards me. He stopped a good foot in front of me "Would you feel better if you knew what the fuck was going on and how the fuck you got placed in that hell hole?" I didn't know how to answer "Frank" Jack warned, "No, do not fucking 'frank' me." The shorter boy spat, turning his attention back towards me "I-i mean. I guess" I whispered. Spinning around Frank threw his hands up "FUCKING SEE!"

I didn't know why he cared so much?
_________________Few hours later_________________

"You don't have to do this if you are not ready" Jack whispered to me "It's fine" I mumbled, shifting uncomfortably watching as May shifted her gun to be more accessible and Frank gnawing on his fingers.

I also watched as May swatted his hand away and told him he'd start bleeding if he continued.

Frank made eye contact with me and his eyebrows furrowed, trying to read my expression. "Those sick fucks won't touch you" He then spoke, I shrugged "May will shoot them if they make one move out of line, Won't you May?" Frank looked over to her "Let's hope I don't have to"

Moments later the door slammed open and they walked in....

"So, It's been brought to our attention that you two arent her real parents" May started Until Frank intervened "What the fuck is the deal, how the fucked you get your hands on her?" He demanded, My 'Parents' faces fell in shock and my eyes widened... I didn't want them to hurt him... "Take a seat" May frowned.

"We, We didn't know adopting was a crime?" My "mother" said cluelessly "It's a problem if you abuse the child and if they weren't even adopted in the f-" "Frank, enough" Frank huffed "She wasn't in the books until age ten. We just wanna know if you guys are relatives family friend" They both shook their heads, May's frown deepened "I see" "How the fuck did you get me" I snapped, not sure how well talking back to them would fair. I stiffened when their gaze fell upon me "Huh, did ya kidnap me?!" A sick smile spread across my face "Your real parents didn't want you" The mad I called my father growled. I saw Franks' face grow pale, May placed a hand on his whispering something. He nodded and hurried out of the room, tears in his eyes.

"Wh-what?" The woman I called mom started to cackle, Jack placed his hand on my leg "No one wants you, We didn't even want you. We claimed we found you to get money for free" I felt sick "That's not answering her question" Jack snapped "Her parents sold her for drug money!" The man shouted "Frankly we should have done the same" The women scoffed "SO JUST GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD, GIRL. YOUR OWN PARENTS DIDN'T EVEN WANT YOU!" I was finding it hard to breathe. I had to get out. They're right. No one wants me.

With a broken sob I stood up, the chair clamoring to the ground beneath me. Ignoring the calls from May and Jack I raced outside. Only to have Frank then call my name. Ignoring him to I continued to run. Until a hand wrapped around my arm, I fought against the grip. Not wanting to be around anyone "LET GO!" I half screamed half sobbed "Abbi, Stop" Frank pleaded but I broke out of his grip and was off running again.

I didn't know where I was going I just ran. Soon I found myself in the park. And I collapsed on a park bench and cried. Until arms wrapped around me and I was pulled into someone's chest "Shh, It's okay" I shook my head "M-M-My ow-ow-own pa-pa-parents did-did-didn't wan-wan-want me" I choked out "They were idiots" Jack said "I wa-wa-wan-wanna go home"
Jack nodded and lifted me up.

He walked the whole way there with me in his arms, No one spoke.

Opening the door I heard the tail end of May's phone call "She just ran out, an- Okay. No jack found her. Yes. Thanks, Pat" I took notice if the shaking boy on the couch in the lap of the man I think was Brendon who I assumed was Frank.

"Just rest" Jack whispered placing me down on my bed.

I just couldn't believe my own parents sold me.... All I could think back to was the conversation from this morning, and how that might have triggered memories for Frank.

I decided to put those thought to the back of my head and catch up on sleep.
