Is This Family?

Chapter 34: Comfort

Katherine Wright

Never in my life did I thought I would be going through this. Not the bite. But the media.

"Miss Wright look here."

"Are you their real sister?"

"Is she a bastard child?"

"Where were you before this?"

"What are you doing here?"

"How did you get injured?"

"Are you and Matteo Bradford in a relationship?"

"Did your brothers do this to you?"

"Why were you kept a secret?"

"What is your dirty secret?"

For the second time in the same day I was thankful for having bodyguards. They were pushing them away from our path. Sawyer and even Joseph were hot on their heels. They were surrounding us like shields whereas the other guards made a closed circle around us. But it was getting harder to contain them. I was completely pressed on both of my sides by Alex and Hayden. They were giving angry glares to the reporters. I was scared. I would have been crushed by them if I were alone.

The camera flashes were blinding my eyes. Finally I could see Alex's car. There were more people around the car. Joseph managed to open the door for us. As I was about to sit in somebody grabbed my hair and pulled it hard. I screamed in pain. Sawyer noticed the guy and grabbed him by his throat. Alex literally shoved me into the car. I shifted inside to make space for him to sit. The door was shut.

"Are you okay baby?" Alex asked. His voice was full of worry. He had his left hand on my cheek while the right one was in my messy hair.

"Yeah I'm-"

"That FUCKER pulled your hair. Joseph who the fuck was he?" He shouted.

"Sir he was just a celebrity teenage reporter. He does this kind of stuff to get pictures."

"Well get rid of him." What? What is that supposed to mean. I gave him a questioning look.

"I mean I dont want to see him around you again."

"Oh okay." He still had this worried expression on his face. I put my hand on his knee and patted it awkwardly.

"Relax I'm fine. See." Little did I know me raising hands was gonna create another chaos.

"Shit! That's blood on your bandage. Joseph take us to the next hospital."

"No. Joseph no need. Its just a tiny bit." I said pinching my fingers together.

"We will change it once we reach home. God I'm sorry you had to go through that. Dont think about them okay. They just want us to act out so that we they have some gossip on us." Alex said grabbing my hand that was on his knee.

"I'm not thinking about it. Well Anna told me I could eat an icecream. Like triple scoop ice cream with nutella and rainbow sprinkles and maybe some chocolate chips. I think marshmallows too." I said smiling shyly and making puppy eyes.

"Oh really! I didn't listen her say that."

"Well you were busy shouting at me."

"I wouldn't had to if you weren't running around playing puppy rescue 3D." He said in a cocky tone. Puppy. Puppy! Oh that puppy!

"Shit. I have to call Matt."

"Stop cussing! Aren't you in enough trouble already." He said glaring at me.
