Bound By Secrets

Nate (3)

"Well that was a little weird." I state, looking down at Kate and glancing at Brad before looking down the corridor where the little rocket just disappeared. I can't get the image of her big rounded, bright blue eyes out of my head, she was a small little thing, easily a whole foot smaller than me and she had such silky looking chocolate brown hair with such gorgeous, captivating eyes and perfect plump rosy lips. I didn't get a great look at her figure because the guys she was with kept burning holes into my head with their cold stares but I did see that she had an amazing rounded, peachy arse when we were walking behind them earlier in the corridors. Kate smacks my arm to gain my attention and I blink a couple times realising I'd been staring down the corridor in my own little world, picturing the beauty that was here minutes ago.

"It's not weird, they're clearly just overprotective, god knows I know what that's like having you two around me all the time." She says, rolling her eyes at both me and Brad. "That's overly protective though." Brad adds, I nod my head in agreement.

Brad nudges me and signals with his head to the doors, silently telling me he's going for a smoke. I nod and then watch him walk away before focusing on my sister again. "What classes have you got? I'm really hoping I have some without you for once. I don't understand why they seem to think that twins should be in classes together, it's annoying." I roll my eyes at her because we both know she'd be bored and lonely without me and then I hand over the slip of paper that contains my schedule. She looks over it, groans a couple times and then a triumphant smirk settles on her face before she hands it back to me. "I have two classes with you and two classes without you, thank the lord!" She practically shouts before turning on her heel and walking towards the exit door that Brad went out of. I chuckle to myself and shake my head before following.

Callie's POV - Next Morning

Pulling out the chair next to Connor and opposite Callum, I sit down gingerly at the dining room table as I'm still in a little pain from Fraser's visit and I keep my eyes focused on the breakfast plate on the table. The room is dead silent. I don't move, I breathe quietly, and I wait for what seems like forever for my father to speak up from where he's seated at the head of the table. I can feel his eyes burning into the side of my head but I don't dare lift my eyes from the plate in front of me. After another minute or two, he lets out a deep sigh before he picks up his knife and fork.

"You may eat!" He tells us, voice booming, making the hair on the back of my neck stand up and my shoulders tighten slightly. "Calliope!" He shouts as I reach out for my fork, I freeze my movements and look up at him instantly knowing if I don't he'll just become angrier. He smirks at me, mischief clear in his eyes. "Go and greet your Uncle Fraser at the door and bring him in here, he's joining us for breakfast this morning." Bile rises in my throat at his words and my usually emotionless mask must slip because his smirk becomes sinister and his dark eyes show his evilness as they sparkle with excitement.

Connor stiffens beside me and throws Callum a panicked stare. I nod at my father and stand to go to the door. Before I even take a step, Callum rises from his chair, nostrils flared, hands balled into tight fists and his head bowed, containing his rage filled face from our views. My fathers gaze slides from me to my brother and his lips tilt up showing his amusement. My heart beats wildly as I pray that Callum will sit down and contain his outburst until we're out of this house and on the way to college. Connor clears his throat next to me and Callum's head snaps up to stare at him. I see the subtle headshake out of the corner of my eye and watch as Callum scowls at Connor before turning his eyes on me, his face softens and his gaze becomes apologetic. I nod at him and then take my steps to leave the room as he slowly retakes his seat.
