Finding out the Truth
As soon as Alexis came through the door, Rick pulled her into a hug. ❝Where the hell were you? Alexis, you didn’t go to school. You had me worried sick!❞ Rick was so happy that her child was home safe, he wouldn’t allow his child to leave his grasp for at least three minutes. His eyes travel to Kate that had come home with Alexis. He mouths a thank you to her, a thank you for bringing Alexis home to him safe. ❝What were you doing? Alexis, you could have told me you didn’t want to go to school today.❞ Alexis felt her eyes become wet as she hugged her father back. She couldn’t seem to figure out how to put things into words so she pulls away from her father. She shook her head at her father. ❝Please don’t hate me,❞ She whispers going over to the kitchen counter. She pulls from her purse the same blood test results out that she had shown Kate. She went over to him and handed him the paper, she watched as the worry went from Rick’s eyes and understanding, a flash of disappointment came to flashing before her eyes. She waited for him to say something, to start yelling at her, anything to show her something but all he did was stare at the results. ❝Daddy, say something.❞ When Alexis showed him the paperwork, his heart stopped. His little girl wasn’t so little anymore. His daughter trusted Kate more than she trusted him. Oh, his little girl was in pain from a mistake and he couldn’t say anything to make it better. ❝Alexis,❞ The only word he could get out before he watched his daughter run up the steps to her room crying that she was hated. ❝Alexis! Alexis! Come back down here sweetie!❞ He calls going to go after her but being stopped by the detective. He nods his head to Kate. @misfitxmuses (Took your suggestion about Kate going to talk to Alexis and all so yeah.)
