Book 1: Ghost of the south

Chapter 41

Casey hugged her brother for the first time.

Wesley smiled I got the hug and so did Casey. Casey got up and started walking towards the window. "Until we meet again Wesley." Casey smiled. Wesley smiled. Casey then went out of the window using the rope that was tied to the bed. Wesley let a tear slip down his cheek.
"Till we meet again." Wesley smiled.  As he got up and closed the window and saw Casey run with her suitcase into a car. But before she went in she looked at the house and smiled. She got in and the car drove away.

Wesley smiled.

Wesley left Casey's room and went into his room and made his bed and laid down on it with a big smile on his face. It was a sweet moment for the hunter siblings but not everyone was enjoying it. There she stood still in Casey's room looking out the window. "Casey." She growled.

Wesley woke up to the sun being shined through his room. He woke up with his messy hair. Wesley went into the hallway walking to the bathroom. He stopped in the middle of the hallway he stared at Casey's door. "Casey." He whispered to himself. Wesley fixed himself up. Doing his hair by himself.  The house was definitely quieter. He walked downstairs toward the dining room. He saw his mother sitting on his father's seat eating. "Good morning baby." His mother cheerfully said. Wesley took this as a surprise she was mourning anymore. He didn't want to question anything. He just went along with everything.

"Morning!" He happily said back and sat and ate. "What do you plan on doing today, Wesley?" She asked eating. "Ahm nothing much  really I kind of  wanna rest I guess." He smiled. His mother smiled as well. "That's good to know son." She continued eating. A newspaper was tossed near his leg Wesley felt this and looked down to see it. There it was written.
TWO MEN KILLED IN FATAL CAR CRASH!
The two victims have yet to be identified.
Wesley frowned at Thai and ignored it. "What do you plan on doing today mom?" Wesley asked. "Uhm nothing much just resting I guess like you." She giggled. Ada frowned she really wanted to get his attention with that.  Betsy came in and put eggs on the table. Mary's face changed. 

"Why is it so close?" Mary asked lowly. "Excuse me, ms hunter?" Betsy said leaning forward a little. "I said why is it so close!" Mary slapped Betsy hard she fell to the ground holding her left cheek.  Mary kept kicking and punching Betsy. Wesley's eyes widened. "Mom!" He stood up. "No Wesley! Don't you know she's the reason your father is dead!" Mary said kicking her. "Mom stop!" Wesley yelled. Mary looked at her son and at Betsy then she left. Wesley sighed. Betsy got up and went to the kitchen with her hand still on her cheek. Just then he heard clapping.

"Wow what a performance!" Ada said smiling. Wesley glared at her. "Shut up." Wesley spat. "You can't tell me what to do Wesley." Ada smiled. "Really? Shut up." Wesley said walking past her toward the kitchen. Ada was taken aback. "You'll regret this." She stomped away.

Wesley came into the kitchen where the help was Ruby was helping Betsy with her fresh wounds. "Mama ya hurting me," Betsy whined. "Oh stop it," Ruby said. When Wesley showed up they all got quiet. "I..um... I wanted to say sorry about my mother that wasn't nice what she did and I Uhm I uh hope you can forgive her and I hope you get better." Wesley said a little bit nervous. "That's alright sugar we don't hold grudges around here." Ruby smiled going to the sink to wash the cloth. Wesley smiled as well but then he quickly stopped and cleared his throat.

"I have a question," Wesley said. They all looked at him. "What is it?" Rubber asked. "Well uh how do I say this well before Casey left she was with this boy right? And one day I saw him on top of her and she had tears in her eyes but I didn't do anything because I thought she liked it so I wanted to ask. Why didn't she like it? I thought everyone was supposed to like it?" Wesley started crying. Betsy took Wesley's hand and led him to the table. "Ohh baby don't you cry," Ruby said wiping his tears. They all gathered around him.

"Listen Wesley if someone ever forces something sexual on you. You are not supposed to like it. And you are allowed to say no! If you feel in your heart deep down that it's not good it probably ain't." Wesley's eyes widened.
"People older take advantage of younger people all the time and it is NOT right. If it ever happened to you or ever happens to you.
You tell someone right away! You understand me boy." Betsy had tears in her eyes. Betsy said sternly at Wesley. Wesley nodded. 

Betsy knew this was good she didn't want him to end up like his father. A rapist.
