Mateo's POV:
I heard crying and panting coming from the guest room where Angela was sleeping. the worst thoughts came into my mind. 'did Richard manage to come in?' 'did she get hurt?' I ran to her room to see her crying and trembling. I rushed to her side and hugged her. I don't know what's going on, but when Angela's in trouble I have to come to her side. I don't know why, but I care about her so much even though I just met her. it is my job to protect her from the threats of the world.
" it's ok, it's ok, nothing's going to happen, your safe," I assured her. I sat her on my lap and started rubbing her head and then back. soon enough she was asleep. I sat her down carefully back onto the bed not to wake her. we found her brother at her best friend's house, They were making on the couch when we found them. I didn't tell Angela yet. I thought maybe they wanted to.
in the morning, Angela found her way downstairs wearing my shirt and a pair of shorts I thought would fit her. they were short and you could see scars on her thighs. whoever did that, I'm sure I'm going to slit their throats. she isn't going to school today due to yesterdays events.
" Good morning." her sweet voice said sounding tired. I turned around and saw her rubbing her eyes.
" How'd you sleep?" I asked looking into her gorgeous emerald green eyes.
" I slept pretty well, thanks." I could tell in her voice she wanted to ask about her brother but she didn't.
" We found you, brother, he's at your house now if you want to see him," I told her, immediately her face lit up like a flame with the biggest smile on her face.
" THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOUUU!!!" she shrieked so loudly I think she woke up the whole house. She ran into my rams wrapping her arms around my waist, it took me a couple of seconds to comprehend what was going on but eventually, I hugged her back. she ran out in my shirt and little shorts to her house.
Angela's POV:
I just found out my brother is home.
" THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" I say running to Mateo wrapping my hands around his waist, it takes him a while to react but he finally hugs me back. I take a deep breath in, inhaling his scent. he smells like men's deodorant and expensive perfume. Then I ran out of the door leaving all of my things at Max's house and run into mine. I run in to hug my brother but hear loud moans coming from upstairs.
" Oh my god Alex, Harder!" I hear a girl yell. after I heard that I ran upstairs and opened the door.
" OH MY GOD!" I screeched. It was Emma. My brother was fucking my best friend! I stood there in disbelief.
" it's not what it looks like I promise!" my brother says
"where you just fucking my best friend?" I ask. they both look down at sheets covering their naked bodies, they don't reply.
" WHERE YOU OR WERE YOU NOT FUCKING MY BEST FRIEND?!" I repeated anger intoxicating my words.
" Yes." My brother says, I scoff and run to my room locking the door. Why does everyone keep hurting me? If they just told me I wouldn't be so mad. but they kept it from me. then I heard a knock at my door.
" Go away, Alex!" I scream.
" It's not Alex." I recognize the voice right away, it was Mateo. I get up and open the door. Mateo is holding my leggings, sweater, and shoes I left over at Max's house.
"Thanks for bringing these to me," I say looking down to the floor fiddling with the hem of my shirt, well his shirt.
" No problem. Is everything ok?" He asks me lifting my chin so he can see my face. I just stare into his beautiful eyes and shake my head no. he comes in and puts my things on the floor. I've only known him for 1 day and he was so nice to me.
" What happened?" he asked, his voice sending tingles down my spine.
" I just saw my brother fucking my best friend." I tell him. he looks guilty for some reason, i just stare at him and he finally looks at me.
" Umm Angela." He says
" Yes.." I say unsure of what hes about to say and tell me.
" Last night we found out that your brother was daiting Emma." He says. I look up at him and a tear falls onto my check.
"Wow." I scoff.
" Get out." I say pointing to the door.
" Angela-" I cut him off
" GET THE HELL OUT MATEO!" I yell at him. he leaves and i close the door locking it behind him. Everyone i trusted betrayed me. wow.
