Finding myself (18+)

Chapter 2

"C'mon, we are going out", I groan when Liam pops on my bed and pauses my movie.

"Go change", he orders me, and I snort.

"You can go out, I'm staying in here", I inform him trying to restart my movie without success. Liam takes my computer and closes it, placing it on my desk.

"Seriously? I was watching it!"

"How many times did you leave the house since you came?" He crosses his arms on his chest giving me an accusatory stare.

I open my mouth once I invent an aleatory number, "and don't lie I have talked to your mother already".

I gasp at his lack of confidence in me. When has he ceased believing I am an innocent and honest girl?

"You haven't gone out at all Kelsey?"

"It does concern you, I'm tired and need to rest," I tell him, repositioning on the bed and leaning against the bedhead. It is so comfortable in here why would I leave?

"You have rest enough, I thought Dani was exaggerating when she said you got it bad", I raise my head to look at him.

"You have talked to her?"

"Yeah, well she kind of organized an intervention for Charles last week, and I have attended", he said grinning and I raise my brow at him.

"What?"

"An intervention to put some sense in your brother's head, has he contacted you yet?"

"No, he hasn't", I respond losing my hopes.

"Damn, that friend of yours can put Charles in his place, it was kind of hot watching her threatening him", he said grinning again and I start to get worried.

Not another fight, please.

"What has he said?"

"Change and I will tell you everything once we are in a bar", he offers, however, my bed is so comfy, I consider staying in the dark and letting my curiosity on the side for the first time.

"C'mon Kelsey, enough is enough, get up and change we need to talk", I jump off the bed with the tone employed by Liam, he is not usually the bossy one.

He leaves my room providing me a limit of ten minutes to get ready, shower included. I speed up to be fast preparing myself, is not that I spend too much time on it but my laziness slows me down.

The curiosity now taking over me about what happened over the week. What Char has told Liam and Dani. And what Dani has told him as well.

"How is he?" I question once we are finally on the bar of his choice.

"Better than you, honestly", he responds, and then he is back watching the drinks card. He claimed this is the best cocktail bar in town and the menu is for sure extensive. I chose one sweet drink containing strawberries in it. While Liam can't decide and he is starting to piss me off.

"Should I get a vodka or a gin one?"

"C'mon Liam, just chose one already, anything, you can taste another one after", I replied annoyed.

"Ok fine, you are mean today", he pouts, finally ordering his drink.

"If I don't like it is on you", he completes.

"Fine, I take the blame, now start talking".

"Ok, I saw your brother a day after the fight", he adjusts himself on the chair, "that he was furious is an understatement", he gives me a pointed look and I can feel his lecture coming.
