Our Secret

[6]

"Dad I'm home." I was trying to be as quiet as possible to not irritate my dad. When he's mad, everyone is mad.

Everyone had a one-week break due to a gas leakage in the school, the whole school had to be evacuated quickly, some got sick, and some that were too close to the room where it came from got hospitalized. It was pretty severe but not severe enough to kill them.

Fairest and her mom had already left for their 2 months trip to who knows where, because now when I text Fairest she doesn't respond, and she'll respond less now that she's out of the country.

I've been trying to think back to something I must've done to her for her to be mad, but no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to think of anything.

"Hey, sis." I turned around to find Raleigh standing in a kitchen apron with apples imprinted on them. 

Raleigh was tall about 6'3, with chocolate skin with dark black hair with highlights of brown, he had a broad structure along with hard tanned abs and hard muscles as well, his looks are what scared all my boyfriends away, but I never really liked them so I don't care.

Raleigh was the only one in my family I could honestly tolerate, apart from when he's super Jealous when it comes to me having a boyfriend. I rolled my eyes at the thought.

"Hey, I'm glad you're the first one I saw. Where dad?"  He waved the spoon he had in his hand around. "Uhh somewhere in the house, most likely his office." He looked sad., Raleigh is never sad. Something happened and I knew he was gonna tell me unless I asked."When isn't in his office?" I walked over to him following him into the kitchen.

"What you have been up to?" I need to know what happened with him, I hated seeing him upset. "Not much really, I've just been working out and stuff you know, the usual. Helping dad out with the business and whatnot." He half shrugged.

I nodded my head taking in the useless information.
"What's bout your girlfriend?" He stiffened, he waited a while before saying.  "We broke up." Oh, so that's it.

"Oh, ok. Can I ask why?"
I don't wanna sound too shocked or his eyes are probably going to burst with tears.  "Uh she just said that she lost feelings and she liked someone else, that's all." So she cheated.

"Oh ok. How do you feel about that." I was trying hard to be gentle I hated hurting his feelings, except an 'I told you so' would be good right now.

"I don't care anymore I've kinda let it go, I guess." As if, he looks like a waterfall is about to start falling from his eyes. He rushed to my bags picking them up. "Ima take these to your room. K?" Before he could rush away I took my chance. "Hey, bro. If you ever need to talk I'm here for you. Ok?" He stopped in his tracks nodding his head then rushing up the dark wooden steps.

I felt bad, but there honestly wasn't much I can do when he doesn't even want to open up even when I pry and keep asking.

I heard my phone buzzing initiating I got a call, hoping it was Fairest and not Lexes again, I really wanted to talk to my best friend at the moment. I picked up my phone seeing it was an unknown number. I hung up since I already didn't recognize the number.

Seconds after I hung up the same number popped up on my screen again. I hang up once more and the process repeats 2 more times. Who the hell is this?

I picked up the 5th time. "Stop calling me!"
"Woah, sorry. I didn't know you were busy, or whatever." that voice, that annoying British voice.
My mind immediately went back to what happened in that dark hidden room inside the library. Shit!

"Why are you calling me?" Fuck I stuttered. "I called you because I wanted to see you again." I could hear the smirk in his voice. "For what?" for what else? Pussy.
