"beth?!" chris' voice echoed through the house as he shouted as loudly as he could to get his sister's attention.
matt and nick appeared at the door, both frowning at their brother.
chris immediately handed over his phone to his brothers, signalling to them that they should read the conversation.
after a moment he looked between them, trying to read their reactions.
"is this real?" matt's face was in a big frown, obviously not happy.
at chris' nod, both of the other boys turned around to the stairs and shouted up at the girl too, now just as eager to get her attention.
"i'm coming, guys, relax." she exclaimed as her footsteps neared the three boys. she was running down the stairs. "so . . . what's up?" she smiled brightly as she came into view, but her face fell when she caught sight of their troubled expressions.
"is everything alright with you and johnny?" nick was the first to talk, taking control of the situation by signalling for her to sit down with them.
"um . . . i mean," she hesitated for a moment but sat herself in between nick and chris nonetheless. "he's been a bit off, but i think it's just stress with the album and everything,"
"he just messaged me," chris handed her the phone and gently put his hand on her shoulder when her face fell even further.
her eyes scanned the text messages quickly and she could almost hear her own heart shatter as she reached the bottom. he really didn't trust her. . .
"it's fine, chris." her words came out harsher than she intended them to be, but she didn't apologise, her mind occupied with other thoughts. "we're fine."
had it been anyone else, then they might not have noticed the slight waver in her voice at the end of the sentence. not many would have noticed the well concealed distraught look on her face, but they did. her brothers knew her better than anyone else, and as they shared a look over her shoulder it was clear that they all had noticed her well hidden sadness.
author's note! i promise i'm trying my best with the layout but wattpad just won't cooperate. i swear i want to smash my phone it's so frustrating
