Chapter 18
I breathed a small sigh of relief and shifted in my seat before I cleared my throat and grew serious. "How many people are there?" I asked and looked between the two of them before I focused my gaze on Jason. "Are they going to be split up again and go into smaller groups?"
Jason and Justin looked at each other before they looked at me with small frowns on their faces. "That... is not something that we can not discuss for now, for we do not know that much yet," he said. He raised his hand to silence me and waited when I opened my mouth to say something, and I closed my mouth before I pursed my lips in annoyance. "As soon as we know something, you will know as well. Ok?" He raised an eyebrow in question. "This will not be hidden from you, Blaire."
Oh, thank Gods...
I bit back a small sigh of relief and slowly nodded, and my shoulders slowly relaxed because I was grateful that they weren't going to hide it from me, especially since they knew that they were still my priority even if they weren't supposed to be.
"Is there anything else that you want to talk about?" Jason asked and raised an eyebrow in question. "Or do you have any additional questions that you want to ask us?"
"Has Clareana been taken away from the place as well?" I asked and raised an eyebrow in question, and Jason and Justin nodded in confirmation, and I bit back a small sigh of relief while my whole body relaxed. "Good."
"She is still with the group," Jason said before he cleared his throat and shifted in his seat. "However, I have heard from the couple that have taken them that she has been staying away from the rest of the group that lived there."
I frowned and slowly blinked, pressing my lips into a thin line. Worry filled my body, and I hated that she wasn't staying near the group.
And I couldn't help but have this feeling that she was either blaming everyone else or herself for whatever they were going through.
Or worse, me...
"I know that you said that I can see them at the end of the week, but I need to see them sooner," I said and looked between the three of them before I focused my gaze on Jason because I knew that he was the main person I needed to talk to. "I don't like the idea of Clareana being away from them because I do not know if she is going to blame them or blame others for her misfortunes."
"Mainly you?" Justin asked and raised an eyebrow in question, and I hesitated before I slowly nodded in confirmation, pressing my lips into a thin line. "Hmmm." He leaned back in his seat. "And why would she blame you?"
"Because I basically spilled the beans," I said and shrugged with a small grimace on my face. "Someone actually did something when no one else ever did, and I am sure that she figured out that I told someone what happened, which in turn had Mrs. Garnes get arrested and then brought to a safe house."
I bit back a tired sigh and moved a hand through my hair and across my face, leaning back in my seat. "I am worried that she is not going to eat and is going to go through this deep major depressive episode in which she can not get herself out of."
"If she does, then they will take care of it," Jason said and shook his head. "Again, I do suggest that you see them later because I want to make sure that both of you have settled into your new place. You still have school tomorrow, so you are going to have to make sure that you are prepared for it."
I wrinkled my nose and pursed my lips in annoyance, not sure if I wanted to go to school tomorrow, and a sense of dread filled my body while I looked at them. "Do you know if everything is already set up for that?" I asked and raised an eyebrow in question.
"Yes," Jason said and nodded in confirmation. "We have set up everything. The rest of the group will not be going to school yet, but they are going to be going to school soon. However, it will be at a different school."
I slowly nodded and bit the inside of my lip, furrowing my brows. "Have they been checked out yet?" I asked and raised an eyebrow in question. "Like all their physical stuff or whatever, or are they going to do that soon?"
"They are going to do that soon," Jason said and slowly nodded. "I will make sure that you will get a physical done as well. We do have a doctor in the community that you go to to get checked out whenever you like."
"I do suggest doing that soon, though," Justin said and looked at Jason before he looked at me. "I would like to make sure that there are no underlying issues that you do not know about or haven't figured out."
I set my jaw and pressed my lips into a thin line. I didn't say a word while I looked between them before I looked at Jill, who offered me a small smile and slowly nodded, silently agreeing with what her husband had said.
Finally, I bit back a tired sigh and slowly nodded, relenting because I knew that it would be for the best. "Ok," I said and cleared my throat before I shifted in my seat, hesitating ever so slightly. "I will go ahead and do that. I do not know when, but I will do it whenever they are ready for me."
"Then I will go ahead and get that set up," Jason said and stood, and everyone stood with them with me hesitantly standing after them. "Justin will let you know when they are ready for you. For now, you are all dismissed."
I breathed a small sigh of relief and slowly nodded, biting the inside of my lip. I was grateful that I was able to leave and knew that someone would come to find me when they were ready, but I didn't leave the room like I wanted to, not knowing what to do.
"You may go ahead and leave the office," Jason said before he looked at Jill with a set jaw and lips pressed into a thin line. "You as well."
"Yes, Sir," Jill said and nodded in agreement. She looked at me and smiled before she gestured for me to follow her, walking to the door, and I couldn't help but hesitate before I did what I was told to do and followed her out of the room, leaving Jason and Justin there and watching after us without saying another word.
Oh, Gods please let me stay safe and don't let them find anything bad while I have this physical, I silently prayed while I tucked my head closer to my chest and closed my eyes a little. Please...
I do not know what I would do if they did...
