Fated to Them (book 1+2)

Chapter 28

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 28 – The three men watch as I cross the street, Ethan

stepping forward smelling highly of weed, his shaven head making him look more menacing but these

wanna be gangsters don’t scare me, I have pulled my sister many times from houses like this

surrounded by men like them thinking they are above the law. Ethan grabs my waist as I approach

trying to pull me against him.

“Addie baby, what are you doing here?” He purrs.

“Hands off Ethan, where the f**k is my sister?” I demand shoving him. His eyes darted over my

shoulder.

“Who is that? You bring a f*****g narc to my house?” He demands.

“None of your business” I see that Cyrus had got out of the car. I wave him off telling him to get back in

the car, he glares at me but does what I ask. Last thing I need is to explain to Eli that his husband got

shot because I took him to my sister’s dealer’s house.

I push past the other two men walking into the brick house. The wooden front door barely hung on the

hinges like it had been kicked in repeatedly as the frame was also loose. The air was thick with the

smell of weed and meth. I clamp my nose, as I walk through the house and into the kitchen. Another

man standing in the kitchen with an apron and a mask on using the stove cooking d***s I assume. Pots

of weed plants sitting on the kitchen table under a light. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Who are you?” The man asks but I ignore him instead looking for my sister. I walk into the main

bedroom finding her in a singlet and her underwear, passed out on the floor, foam coming from her

mouth. Her skin littered with needle marks and bruises; she also had a whopping black eye like

someone had hit her.

“Taylor, wake up” I tell her, shaking her shoulders, she g****s before coughing, spewing onto the filthy

carpet that had cigarette burns on it. I sat her upright before looking for some pants and tugging them

up her skinny legs. We were identical twins but looking at her now, we look nothing alike. Her skin

covered in sores, she was so pale she looked deathly ill, she was all skin and bone and had lost well

and truly over half her weight. I pull her up making her stand, she leans her weight on me heavily as I

pull her pants up. I wrap her arm around my shoulders, shaking her and she mumbles looking up.

“Ada?” She asks, her head falling forward.

“Yes Taylor, you need to help me, I need you to walk” I tell her as we shuffle out of the house. I drop her

on the steps, her weight too much before picking her up. Ethan tries grabbing her from me. I stop

pointing my finger at him.

“You have done enough”

“She isn’t going with you Addeline, she will just run back to me” He says trying to take her again but l

shove him.

“F**k off Ethan or I will have police here in a matter of minutes, do you want them to find your meth lab

out the back?” I ask, pulling my now limp sister against me. He puts up his hands in surrender backing

away. I drag my sister to the end of the driveway. Cyrus jumps out of the car.

“Get back in the car Cyrus” He ignores me before coming over and scooping up my sister. I rush over

to open up the back door and he places her in on her side. Before closing the door. She pukes on my

floor, Cyrus climbs in tilting her head so it runs out of her mouth and she doesn’t choke on it.

I ring my mother, the phone ringing through my Bluetooth as I head home. My mother answers after a

couple of rings.

“Hey, Ada, what’s up?”

“I have Taylor, ma I am heading home”

“You found her?” She asks excitedly.

“No, she rang me. She isn’t good mum, should I take her to hospital or to you”

She hesitates.

“Bring her home”

“On my way” I tell her cutting off the call.

“Do you mind if I drop her off first?” I ask Cyrus.

“No, Addie, do what you need to do” He says, grabbing my knee.

“I thought you were identical?”

“We are or were, don’t take d***s” I tell him. My sister g****s trying to roll over before sitting up suddenly

looking around alert.

“Ada?” She asks before looking at Cyrus.

“what are you doing, pull over Ada”

“Nope, why did you leave the clinic, you rang me I am taking you home” I tell her before she loses it

and starts thrashing. I lock the doors knowing she will probably pass out again soon. Cyrus looks at her

when she hits me, her hand smacking me in the face, trying to get me to pull the car over and let her

out.

“No Taylor, I am taking you home. You promised us, you promised Maya, you know your daughter the

one you keep forgetting” I tell her.

“Pull the f*****g car over, I am not going back take me back to Ethan” She screams.

“Why so he can beat you again?” I ask, staring at her black eye in the mirror.

“It was an accident” I scoff when suddenly Cyrus has enough of her kicking his chair and spins in his

seat grabbing her face.

“Sit still and do what your sister says” He snaps at her and I am surprised when she falls silent sitting

still. I looked at him before looking at her in the mirror. She sat there still as a statue.

“What did you do to her”

“You saw, I just yelled at her, I know she is your sister, but she was pissing me off” He says. She starts

coughing again, before throwing up again.

“F**k” I mutter to myself as she passes back out again. I knew I was going to be up all-night cleaning

out my car and getting rid of the stench.

Pulling in the driveway, Cyrus opens the back of the car before grabbing her out, she throws up on his

shirt as he carries her. My mother rushed out before showing him where to put her in the spare room.
