Chapter 2:

I blink staring over at my brother. He can't be serious! I don't even know these people. "Your joking right? Please tell me your joking?"

He sighed looking back at me "No. Besides it's safer if your there."

"Zach-"

"Sophie!"

I jump staring back at my brother. I frown slightly looking down at the floor. I know we're having money problems, but why do I have to stay at a strangers house? I look up at him quickly having a thought "Oh! What if their murders or something?"

Zach looked back at me looking extremely miffed. After a second he moved his gaze down closing his eyes. "Their not. Just, go pack."

I nod in reply, zooming out of the room and down the hall to my bedroom. What's got him ticked? I froze in my doorway there's a guy looking around my room.

"W-who are you?" I sputter out, watching him.

He stopped by my bookcases, turning around "Mason."

I shake my head, walking in the room towards him "What are you doing in MY room?"

"Oh! I was just looking around. You have some nice books" He answers, pointing to my book shelves. "My dad and your brother thought you might need some help."

I blink looking back at him "Your dad?"

"The guy with the shiny car."

"You were here?" I ask, trailing off.

He laughs nodding his head "So do you need any help?"

"I don't know" I reply looking away from him.

How does he expect me to be able to think straight? If he heard the car thing, then he had to of heard what my brother said. I huff annoyed and look back at him. He's just looking back at me with his head tilted to the side a little.
