"I'm glad we finally got rid of Andrew, we can live normal lives again" Tom said,
"I don't know Tom, I still believe Andrew is innocent" Hart replied,
"Come on Michael, you saw the image didn't you, it was obviously Andrew" Tom snapped,
"The image wasn't clear so we can't tell" Hart replied,
"Forget about it Michael, you'll eventually see the truth with time"
"We haven't heard from the children" Gabriel said after the vehicle fell silent,
"that's true, I'll phone Shawn now" Hart said getting his phone from his pocket, he realized Shawn had tried contacting him before,
"Guys I have ten missed calls from Shawn" Hart said worried as he began calling Shawn,
"I also have missed calls from Mia"
"I too from Jaden but he's not picking up" Gabriel said worriedly,
"Shawn's also not picking up, I think something's wrong" Hart said,
"Mia always picks her calls but she isn't picking" Tom said about to cry, he decided to drive faster so they'll get home on time.
*****
The Wayne's House.
Shawn got home tired physically and emotionally, the events of the night had tired him out so he just went straight to his room, took a long warm shower, and by the time he got out the bathroom the three fathers had arrived and Hart was now in his room' Hart upon setting eyes on his son ran to embrace him.
"Gosh, I thought something happened (hugs him) thank God you're okay" Hart said but Shawn didn't say a word,
"Where are Jaden and Mia" Hart asked but Shawn still remained quiet,
"They went home" Tiana replied from behind. On hearing her voice, Hart stood up with tears in his eyes as he went to embrace his daughter whom he hadn't seen ever since his wife's disappearance,
"Oh Tiana, I've missed you so much",
"(hugging him back) I've also missed you too dad but that's not important now, I need you to come downstairs I have something to tell you, Gabriel and Tom"
"(looking confused) did something happen?"
"Yes, let's just go, Shawn won't talk to anyone now" Tiana said making Hart's heart skip a beat, he looked at Shawn who was still in his towel and back at Tiana who now walked out of the room, Hart followed her downstairs to meet his friends. After they left the room Shawn locked his room and got dressed, he just wanted to be alone for as long as possible he even thought of not going to school the following day. Downstairs, Tiana told the fathers of what occurred when they were away, she also told them the reason Amber was abducted and the attic incident, Hart immediately ran up to his attic and found it covered in blood "so it's true" he said touching his wife's blood which stained the floor. "Amber!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, he stayed there for some time, crying his heart out then went back downstairs, Tom and Gabriel already left to check on their kids.
"Why did you keep such a thing from me Tiana" Hart said with an angry tone,
"I thought I was protecting you dad, I'm sorry" Tiana said crying,
"Sorry won't bring Amber and Stella back now will it"
"I know it won't but...." Hart cut her off,
"Save it, I need you to leave my house first thing tomorrow morning" Hart said finally then went upstairs. Tiana didn't argue cuss she saw it coming anyways, she knew her father would never forgive her for her stupidity, she could have prevented all of this if only she spoke up and told him five years ago, she knew where Andrew kept their mother captive but she can't do anything now so she just left the house right there and then. Gabriel and Tom arrived at Tom's house and found Jaden asleep outside Mia's room.
"Hey Jaden" Tom said slightly shaking Jaden so he could wake up,
"Oh, hey dad, uncle" Jaden said getting up and looking at Mia's locked door,
"how's she" Gabriel asked,
"Devastated, she won't listen to me" Jaden said with a saddened look in his eyes,
"(sighs) let's go, we'll talk to her tomorrow" Tom said hoping to put Jaden's mind at rest,
"Go to bed now, tomorrow everything will be fine" Gabriel added,
"I hope your right dad" Jaden said then went into the room giving to him, Tom and Gabriel exchanged looks and went to their rooms to get some rest, Livy wasn't home so Tom called her and told her all that had happened.
The following day, the three friends eventually went to school but on the persuasion of their fathers. Seeing Mia again only broke Shawn the more and to make things worse for the three friends, the whole school wouldn't stop talking about what happened the previous night, turns out someone informed the whole school of what happened. Mia finally decided to apologize to Shawn again but he didn't want to talk to her, the words murderer kept coming from the mouth of the students at school and Mia couldn't take it anymore, neither could the boys, the three eventually left school before school was over.
"Hello dad, I'm not going back to school" Mia said immediately her father picked the call,
"And why's that"
"Everyone at school won't stop calling me a murderer" Mia said as she began to cry,
"I can't take it anymore dad, last night I could barely sleep, I kept seeing blood in my dream, Shawn wouldn't talk to me, I just can't dad"
"(sighs) okay sweetie, I'll meet you at home, okay?"
"Okay, bye" Mia said then hung up the call, she rested on Jaden and cried her heart out.
You know when they say great minds think alike, this happened when Mia and Shawn told their fathers they didn't want to stay in Alaska anymore, of course their fathers were against it and decided to call a meeting, the three father's and their children gathered together at Gabriel's house to discuss.
"We all know why we're here right" Tom asked but only Jaden replied him, Mia and Shawn didn't say anything especially because they were forced to sit together,
"Mia, Shawn" Tom called out,
"yes?" they finally replied,
"turns out you two want to leave Melbourne but that won't happen" Tom said firmly,
"I've made up my mind dad, I'm not staying here, I can't stay here" Mia said,
"Shawn?"
"Since she wants to leave then let her, I only wanted to leave because she's still here and I want to avoid her face, I don't ever want to see her again" Shawn said then walked out, his father called out to him but he didn't listen, Mia was in tears now,
"You see, this is why I want to leave, I can't stand his attitude" Mia said,
"I thought it was because of the rumors" Jaden added,
"That too" Mia said though she knew deep down she didn't care what anyone said,
"Mia you won't leave and that's final" Tom said,
"Unless you want me to take my life dad, I won't stay here" Mia threatened to the surprise of everyone,
"don't say such things Mia, I'll talk to Shawn don't worry" Hart said,
"I've made my decision uncle and nothing or no one can change my mind about it not even you Jade" Mia said her hands crossed over her chest,
"If she leaves, I leave with her" Jaden said,
"Can you kids be reasonable for ones" Hart said,
"Gabriel why aren't you saying anything" Tom asked,
"Because I have nothing to say, looks like they've made up their mind, we can only respect that decision, whenever they're ready to talk with each other again they always know where to find Shawn" Gabriel said,
"(sighs) this is not good at all" Hart said,
"Mia, Jaden, do you really want to leave" Tom asked,
"yes" Mia said,
"If that's what she want's then yes" Jaden said,
"(sighs sadly) fine.
