Before Hayden could even react my dad ran over towards me with open arms. "Khloe, I'm so sorry this happened. Your mother called me immediately."

Although I loved and appreciated my parents, I couldn't understand why they would keep me completely in the dark. My whole life I've felt left out and they know that.

I stepped away from my parents. "How could you?" I practically screamed. "Why didn't you tell me anything about Luna? I had to find out from some police officer! It seems like he's more apart of this family than I ever will be."

"Hayden Ross?"

I turned around and Officer Giovanni was standing behind me. "What?" My eyes widened as I spun back around to look at Hayden. "Why does Hayden need to be questioned?"

Hayden got up from the chair and walked over towards me. "Luna called me."

My eyes widened once more. "She did what?"

Hayden looked nervous. His eyes were red, and he looked tired. "It's okay, because it'll be over now." Hayden mumbled before he walked away, and followed Giovanni into that suffocating questioning room.

Once Hayden was gone I looked over at my parents completely dumbfounded.

"Come sit down, Koko. Your mother and I will explain everything." Dad said softly, tugging on my wrist.

I let out a heavy sigh as I pulled a chair out in front of my parents along with Andrew.

"I feel horrible, Khloe." Mom cried and Andrew rubbed her back gently. "I feel like I've failed Luna as a mother."

My jaw dropped. "What? No you haven't." I shook my head. "None of this is your fault. I'm so sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry about." Dad smiled as he looked over at me. "We should have told you the minute we realized."

"When did you realize?" I questioned, because I thought that I was the only one who noticed Luna's strange behaviour. My parents were always too busy trying to fix their marriage, I didn't want to put more stress onto their shoulders. "I thought that I was the only one who noticed Luna's psychotic behaviour."

Dad shook his head. "No, your mother and I noticed it too."

My eyes shifted between my parents. "When exactly?" I questioned. "I'm going to need to know more than just that."

Mom shrugged her shoulders. "Just before your father and I got a divorce, we started to notice her behaviour shift."

I nodded my head slowly. Now, this makes a lot of sense. If Luna thought that our own mother cheated on our father, it would make sense that she would be very upset and act out. "Yeah," I nodded my head. "It's because Luna thinks that you cheated on dad."

"That's when she really started to act out. Your mother and I had to sit down and really have a conversation about her strange behaviour. But that wasn't when it started, that's just when we realized. Luna would act up when she was younger too, but we thought she would grow out of it."
