Trouble in Paradise (BrightWin Fanfic)

BRIGHT'S POV

"I can go home, I already got a lot of security with me." I told Win when I saw him outside. 

"Bright... just let me take you home" He said sounding frustrated. 

I smirked. He has the audacity to get mad at me now?

"If you're gonna get mad for me lashing out, just please, not tonight, I had enough of shit for today." I told him and started walking to the car. 

He didn't followed me after that. I got home and got several messages but I ignored it and crashed to my bed immediately. I seriously don't know what will happen, I want to numb it all again and just turn it all off... but Win coming into my life just changed that, it makes me want to fight, and keep fighting until I'm out of the hurt. 

I woke up the next day with Namtan packing some stuff... 

"Are you leaving today?" I asked her and crossed my arms. 

"No, I'm just gonna go for a quick trip to El Nido, I just want a break, you can come if you want." She told me. 

"When are you leaving?" I asked. 

"6pm tonight. I can call your university and fix whatever it is needed to put you on a week of home school..." She said.

"Do you need me to go with you?" I asked. 

It took her a while before she answered. I was trying to read her expression to figure out if she wants or not. 

"Maybe?" She said and smiled.

"How long are you staying?" I asked.

"Two days, before Dad hunts us down. I said give me three but I'll go back after two days." She told me. 

I agreed to the El Nido trip, I could use some of it. I have been very anxious with everything my father could possibly do. He can go on a rage and ruin everything, including all of us, and that isn't the family that I asked for. 

I packed my stuff and took a nap, these are my coping mechanism, sleep and alcohol, all the same routine. Get drunk or go to sleep to numb it all away. 

"Bright, get up, we're leaving in an hour." Namtan said when I opened my eyes. It's almost dark out, it's the sunset already... 

"Win is also downstairs. Are you running away from him?" Namtan said which made me sigh. 

"I can't keep dragging him into our messes when we can't even sort our relationship mess together." I told her. 

"Talk. Talk to him, if you have problems of your own, I'm sure he does too, you could be not the only person with the obvious daddy issues or whatever, we'll figure things out. Just hang in there for me. We badly need you here Bright." Namtan told me. 

I sighed and fixed myself and went down to talk to Win. I saw him sitting on the sofa as our helper served him with some drink.
