Auntie Katie asked as she looked up at me."I have no idea!" I replied immediately in more shock than any of them could be in.Suddenly a knock came on the door and we all turned towards the entrance. The knock on the door became more persistent, and Auntie Katie hurriedly went to answer it. I could feel my heart beating faster as I tried to process what was happening.When Auntie Katie opened the door, two police officers stood before us, their stern expressions making my anxiety levels rise even higher."Logan Rivera?" one of the officers said, looking straight at me.I nodded, unable to find my voice."

Brett and Ashton exchanged uncomfortable glances, while auntie Katie put a comforting hand on Ariana's shoulder."Mia!"

Ariana's POV"Where are we going?!" I asked mom as she stepped on the accelerator and increased her speed."I have no idea" she whispered tears streaming down her face."Mom" I whispered moving closer to her ."Ariana!" She called softly"I'm driving that's alright, I think I just want this place to be quiet" she whispered quietly her eyes on the road and I nodded in reply as I rested back on my seat.As we drove further away from our home, the silence in the car became more deafening. I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of betrayal and hurt. Dad has hurt us, me especially in many ways unimaginable!. The man I thought I knew, trusted, and loved had shattered my perception of him into a million pieces.My mind raced with questions, but I couldn't bring myself to voice them out loud. Instead, I sat there in silence, watching the world pass us by, lost in my own thoughts.Mom's hands were tightly gripped on the steering wheel, and I could see the tears that she was trying to hold back.
