Hello Again

`but..`was all she could get out`what do you mean its not pretty.`she said with a slight idea.`can we meet anyone else if not im off` she said teasingly.
 
"You'll know what I mean when you meet him." Steve turned to the twins. "Is he upstairs??" He saw the two of them nod. "That means we're going to have to wait for dad." Then Steve heard Dervish behind him so he quickly pushed Caley behind a tree so she was hidden, hoping he hadn't spotted her.
 
"Steven!!" Dervish's voice echoed as it went down the garden. "Where the hell do you think you've been?!" He started walking towards his son in a tall, powerful manor. "I've had a tonne of weights on my shoulders because you walked out the house. And where's Nick?! I haven't seen him since he walked out either. You better hope he's back here soon, for both of your's sakes." He glared at his son as he came within a metre of him.
 
caley sat very still behind the tree breathing very quickly with shallow breaths she listened to the arguement they were having and wished that she hadnt asked him to bring her to meet them she cept on having one thought running through her mind-what if he saw me.
 
Steve looked into his father's fearsome eyes. "I've been looking for him all day. I can't find him. I don't know where he's gone." Steve had spent most of the day searching for Nick and had not succeeded. "I wouldn't be surprised if he never returned. The way you treated him was unnecessary. You could have got loads more sorted if you had treated him better."
 
Dervish punched Steve's face and watched as his son fell to the ground. He then dragged Steve up by his hair. "Don't ever talk to me like that." He glared at his son's pain filled face. "You better hope you find him." Dervish chucked Steve back on the floor and walked into the house.
 
Steve felt his face burn with pain where his dad punched him. His heart was beating hard where he was scared of his dad. He fell back on the floor and watched his dad walk away. It was hard to believe what his dad had changed into. Steve used to look up to him and now he was the man he loathed the most.
 
caley ran out as his dad went back inside`are you okay??~she asked kneeling beside him
 
Steve hugged Caley. "I'm fine." He was so happy that he hadn't noticed her. He didn't know what he would have done if anything happened to her. He kissed her forehead. He could feel a bruise coming up on the side of his face. "You have to understand, he wasn't always like that. Stress is changing him. He used to be an amazing man who I looked up to."
 
`steve..`she said quietly`can we go if i dont i know ill get caught...or at least somewhere covered.`she couldnt stand his dad hurting him she gently ran herr fingers over the side of his face where it was swelling up carefull not to hurt him.
 
"I'll take you up to see Jasper. Paul might be there as well." Steve smiled and took Caley upstairs to paul and Jasper's room. Jasper was lead in bed with cuts and bruises all over him. Paul was sat against the wall on his bed with his feet dangling off the side. The two of them were talking with each other. "Hey guys. Hope you don't mind. Caley wants to meet everyone." He smiled at his cousins as he lead Caley over to Paul's bed so they could sit down.
 
Jasper raised his head to look at Steve and Caley walking in. He smiled weakly at them. "Hey. It's no problem. I'm bored stiff so the more the merrier." Jasper was feeling so tired and ill because of the amount of times he'd been hit by Dervish.
 
Paul also looked up when Steve and Caley walked in. He laughed at Jas and then turned back to Caley. "It's nice to meet you Caley. Steve's talked about you loads." Paul had listened to Steve on lots of occasions, listening to how much he loved Caley. "All I can say is I hope you haven't met Dervish."
 
`oh does he now`she said turning to steve with an evil glint in her eyes but she felt sorry for him and his family. `so what is it hes been saying about me`she said to the boys smuggly.turning back to steve `well unfortunatly we have but not in person but voice, steve threw me behind a tree before he could see me.`
 
Steve shrugged. "Caley wanted to meet everyone but I don't want dad to see her so I hid her when he came over to me." He put his arm round Caley. "You know what he can be like with girls." He nodded at Jasper.
 
`whats he like with them steve,am i not aloud to know?`she teased.wrapping her arms around him and looked to see jaspers response.`tell me` she pleaded playfully.
 
He laughed at Caley. "He gets all edgy and tries to make sure we're treating them properly. If he finds out that we've done something wrong then we end up looking like Jasper."
 
`so why is that so bad?`she didnt understand`if its just to make sure that your treating me right?you ought to find nick before he does whatever it was he was on about earlier.i dont want anyone to get hurt anymore.`she said thinking about what there dad had said.`
 
"He gets picky with everything that we do and then we get so stressed that we start making mistakes and then he treats us even more like cr@p because we make mistakes." He shrugged. "It's hard to explain."
 
`ok then`she said giving him a light shove.`so are you ever going to listen to me properly`she said giggling`you should go and find nick look illo come with you`she saidtrying to make him listen properly.
 
"I've been searching for him all day. He's nowhere to be found." Steve was worried about his brother's whereabouts but there was only so much searching that could be done in one day and Steve had already exceeded it.
 
`but what about your dad wont he be mad...he sounded very threatening out in the garden...and what if he come back up and finds me..and what`all she could think about was what if this and that happened.she was so confused and scared and it showed.
 
Paul walked around so he was sat the other side of Caley to Steve. "We'll make sure nothing happens." He put his arm over her shoulder. "Us guys are all sticking together and trying to make sure Dervish doesn't go too extreme. Jasper would probably be in hospital if we weren't helping him." He gestured towards Steve. "So, we're going to make sure he never realises you're here."
 
`what if he comes up and i dont have time to hide?or he spots me then all three of you will be in soo much trouble`she said as paul put his arm over her shoulder she leant closer to steve resting her head on his shoulder.`but...`
 
Jasper laughed. "What more can he do to me. I'm already secluded to my bed because I'm in so much pain. There's not much more than can happen to me." Jas had spent the first few days pretending he was fine and that it didn't hurt but everyone had seen through him so he had given up.
