Start To End (COMPLETED)

chapter fifty

Silence, it wasn't the comfortable type of silence that went around between the three of us it was the awkward one where they would judge me for something I had done. I groaned as I leaned back into my pillow, Asher sitting stiff in my lap with his hands in mine as I waited for one of us to break the tension.

His face was scrunched up into horrifying painful, Confusing and worrying look

There was something else in his normally lit up light  blue eyes. Fear, that emotion was hidden deep within his eyes and made it nearly impose for me to read my brothers face

Concerns overwhelmed me and pulled Ash into a bone rushing hug. Regret washing over at me for asking the question so brutaling but I was concerned and scared for his answer as well

"The fuck Raven?" Zach cursed taken back by my words

His eyes narrowed into mines in Curiosity, pain and concern for Ash. Ash hands curved up into tight fist while he held onto my shirt again with an even more intense hold than before, that made his small splinter knuckles turn into a pale white colour

Wait hold the fuck up, splinted knuckles!?

I grabbed a hold of Ash's shoulders in my hands, gently pushing him a little back from me to examine his hands better

My eyes instantly darkened as they landed onto the dry blood that painted his dark and blue bruised skin

Who had the audacity to lay a finger on my brother!?

Anger was bubbling up in me the loner I glared down at his hands the loner I felt like finding the person and hurting them back, but 10 times worse then what they had done to Ash. Fuck that maybe a 1000th times worse

I no loner gave two fucks about the question I had asked Ash earlier about the teen girl Bella. But a new set of questions where now swirling through my head at the moment, like little fishes swimming into deep water trying to find their purpose in life. All those thoughts that where in my head were concerning about Ash's physical and mental health and what his school life was like at currently

Had I really been this oblivious about the truth and not notice this matter earlier? The pain that my younger brother was feeling while he sat here, bailing his eyes out for me, caring about me? But I couldn't noice how he had injured his hands, really badly? He shed tears for me, yet I didn't notice his bruised knuckles

Am I stupid? Very much, no wait scratch that I was actually empty-headed to not notice this and let this side by

My eyes softened as I stared down at Ash who's face showed a look of panic. He tried to pull his hands out of my hold. I gently grasp then in my hold again with a much more softer look appealing into my eyes

My lips where pulled down into a frown though and that didn't help much to easy down Ash when he took notice upon my face expression

"Why? Who? When? Whe-." He cut me off eagerly but softly by placing his head on my shoulder and making his eyes face away from me. He was trying to provide comfort for himself in my embrace and my heart sank down as my head pilled up with different thoughts, making me zone out into space before I quickly pulled myself back

"I fucking hate it!" He suddenly blurred out and that's when Zach instantly shot up from his seat, in a rush after hearing the pain laced in our younger brothers broken- hearted trembling voice

The way his voice cracked, his hands shook in my grasp and I could pick up a skip of his heartbeat with my supernatural ears. My heart teared open along with his saddened pained voice "Hate what, sweetie?" I interrogated calmer whirligig my hand through his dark soft hair to calm him down from his angered state
