Us Two And Them

Chapter 40

"So I'm guessing shes not going to eat that. Can I have it?" Xavier asked sheepishly.

Causing all of us to glare at his timing. Jordan kicked him under the table.

"Ow!"

Harlows POV

I wanted nothing more to go back up into my bed and cry till I fell asleep. Thats if I could go to sleep if he didn't haunt me.

'But he did'

When I had gotten up from the table. I wasn't expecting Angelo to get up and come after me. He gave me a fright when he grabbed my arm.

"Let.Me.Go." I tugged on my arm as Angelo dragged me. But he didn't say a word.

"I. Said. Let. Me. Go." I gritted out through my teeth. But his grip didn't loosen one bit.

He brought me over to the stairs and pushed me down to sit on the step. I looked up at him confused.

"You wanna act like a child. I will treat you like one then. Your going to sit on this step until I say you can leave. By time I come back you better have grown up." He then walked back into the dining room not leaving any room to complain.

I mean I could just get up and leave. Thats what I plan to do. As I was about to stand up I heard someone shout.

"Don't even think about it Harlow!"

So I sat back down in a huff leaning my head against the railings. What was I suppost to say to them? Maybe I can just blame it on my period like I did with Xavier. Then my story will make sense since I fainted.

After about another I'm guessing fifteen minutes the boys were starting to come out of the dining room going upstairs. Xander gave me an amused smirk as he walked by like he was enjoying seeing me like this.

'He enjoys seeing you broken'. The voice in the back of my head said.

The others all gave me questionable looks as they walked by.
'Questioning your belonging' the voice nagged.

Lucas had came into the sitting room. I had hoped he would turn on the TV since I could see it from here for a bit of entertainment. But no he just went on his laptop.

Angelo soon joined him doing the exact same thing ignoring my presents.

All the crying I had done earlier made me tired but numb. My eyes drooped as I laid my head against the railings but I fought hard to keep them open. Since I didn't want to find out what my head had planned for me when they closed.

I don't know how long I have been sitting here for but my ass was starting to hurt off of these marble stair cases. Why don't we just have something normal like carpet?

"Harlow come here." Angelo voice called for me.

I got up slowly. I wasn't in the mood to do move or talk. Last thing I know is that this man could come after me or hurt my brothers.
'Who knows they will probably throw you out like the slut you are. Not wanting to deal with your broken ass.'

I shook my head trying to get rid of the nagging voice in the back of my head. Trying so hard not to believe it.

I walked towards Lucas and Angelo who both sat on the couch. Standing infront of them as they both set their laptops aside.

"Has your attitude changed?" Angelo crossed his arms over his chest looking at me.

"Depends." I trailed looking around the room as if I had never seen it before.

Angelo sighed.

"Xavier told us that you passed out earlier. Why?" Lucas chimed in. My head immediately snapped towards him.

A painic attack. But I couldn't tell them that. "I get lightheaded on my period. Which explains my mood. The doctor said it was normal." I shrugged trying to make it not seem like a big deal.

Lucas watched me intensely since he was good at telling if people were lying but at least I'm a good liar.

"Then we will have to take you to the doctor then." Angelo suggested leaning forward. I knew what they were doing trying to get me to fess up.

"No need the last doctor told me that I would just have to eat more iron to avoid it." I kept my head held high and looked directly into both of their eyes if thats possible.

"Oh really so is that why you didn't eat your dinner? Even though you need iron?" Angelo said. He looked amused like they knew something that I didn't.

My eyebrows scrunched up in confusion the only time I let my cold facade drop. Then when I realised what I was doing I put the mask back on.

"Harl you can go up to bed." Lucas sighed.

He didn't have tell me twice I left. Just as I was at the top of the steps. Out of their eyesight but not out of ear range I could hear them talking.

"She's lying" Lucas stated.

"I know because I have seen her file she has never even been to the doctor. They couldn't afford it." Angelo sighed.

"How did you know she was lying?" Angelo asked Lucas.

"When she lies she acts more confident to when your talking to her normally." Lucas stated sighing.

Noted

"I wish she could just open up to us. I thought we had gotten them to finally open up." He added.

"Maybe there is more to what it seems__"

I didn't hear the rest of what Angelo said. I didn't want to hear. I went into my room and went straight to the bathroom.

I turned on the cold water, letting the bath fill up. This could help me take my mind off of everything. The pain of the cold willd take my mind off of him.

This bath would make me feel physically numb just how I feel mentally.

There we go Chapter 40..
