Trouble Should Not Be Double

Chapter 30

Noel's POV

When the Doctor finally leaves the room, I stand up, hoping that I will manage to reach my mate's room, before someone will catch me.

Papa left to tell dad and tata that I'm alright, but I'm sure that they're in the same place that they were before, so I will have to pass them.

I open the door, and I start to walk down the corridor, which gets their attention quickly.

Papa grabs my arm, and I try to pull it away, which makes me grown in pain, because my ribs start to hurt again.

He quickly lets me go, so I start to walk again, but this time the ribs slow me down, and I can't manage to get away from them, before tata blocks my way.

"Did you tell Harry to beat Derek up?" Tata asks me.

"Of course not, I would have never done anything like that." I say, a bit offended that he thought that I could do it.

"Then how did you know that Derek's in the hospital?" Dad asks.

"I told Harry what happened when we spend the day together, and a while ago he he texted me, saying that he made sure that Derek won't treat me like that anymore, and I called him to ask what he did, then he told me that he's in the hospital, so I came here right away." I explain.

They look at each other, before they let me go, so I go inside my mate's room, and I ignore the glare that Leon sends me.

"I can explain." I tell them.

"Go on then." Derek tells me.

So, I tell him what happened, and he seems to believe me, while Leon rolls his eyes.

I think that he believes me too, but he wants something to argue about, so he will annoy me about it.

Derek gives him a stern look just as he opens his mouth to speak, and he groans, but he closes it again.

Derek gives him a kiss, before he gestures for me to come over, and he kisses me too, before I hug him tightly.

"I want to see that message that you were talking about." Leon tells me, so I sigh in annoyance, and I take my phone from my pocket, before I show him the message.

"I believe you, I don't have to see it." Derek tells me, when I turn the phone towards him.

"And you should apologise to Noel." Derek tells Leon, and my brother looks at out mate as if he just betrayed him.

"We never apologised to each other, and I won't be the first one to do it." Leon tells him.

"Just apologise." Derek pleads, already tired of this conversation.

"He didn't apologise for telling Harry to beat me." Leon argues.

"Fair." Derek says, before he turns his attention to me.

"Apologise for that." He demands.

"I already told you that I won't." I say, and he sighs in frustration.

I most likely would have apologised if he asked me nicely, but he demanded it of me each time that he mentions it, so I get defensive, and I refuse to do it.

I won't let anyone control me like this.
