Holiday With My Neighbour

31. Clear Signs

Theo's POV

I can't stop thinking about what Matt said. Is he hiding something from me? I know he's full of secrets, but I'm sure he'd tell me anything if it involved Savannah... right? Unless if she's cheating on me with him as well. Please tell me that's not true.

When me, Adam and Matt return to the apartment. Matt walks in first and immediately reacts to how Savannah looks. At first, I decide to ignore it, maybe I'm overthinking.

I zone out of their conversation until I hear Matt say. "You look sexy, Sav." 

That's when I decide to react by hitting his arm with a firm punch but making it out like it was a lazy punch to the others. To let him know he can't act like that around me, regardless if it's a joke.

"Fuck, that hurt, man." Matt says in pain whilst the others laugh as they think we're playing. 

"It was meant to." I reply as I walk towards Savannah. I need to, at least, act like I want to be next to her.

"I was only joking." He starts with the victim act.

I turn around to face him, narrowing my eyes. "I don't care if it's a joke. It's not fucking funny." 

"Relax, why are you so pissed off?"

His voice is irritating me now. "Shut up, Matt. What do you expect?"

"It was literally a joke." He says with a fake sad look on his face which is fucking annoying.

Does he really think he can get Savannah by acting like this? "I told you to fucking shut up." I approach Matt so we're head to head. 

Matt's expression changes to anger. "Or what? What are you going to do?" 

Finally, now he's stopped with the sad act.

"Don't, Theo." I hear Adam call out even though he has nothing to worry about.

"Can't I call your girl sexy? Someone's insecure." Matt has a smirk on his face. A smirk that I want to punch off. He thinks I'm insecure of him? Of Matt?! That's funny! That's so fucking funny!

A smile forms on my face, and I see a hint of fear on Matt's as I raise my arm to throw a heavy punch. He defends himself by throwing a hit back. He has to if he doesn't want to look like a pussy in front of everyone. 

I get lost in the fight. I can finally release all of the built-up anger from the past two days. Savannah cheating on me. My sister being mistreated. Dominic. The realisation that all of the plans I had for the future are now impossible. I feel blind. Fuck my life, I hate it.

I hear Savannah trying to stop the fight. If it wasn't for her, this wouldn't have happened. Matt's comment wouldn't have bothered me. I would've ignored him. I wouldn't have reacted. 

I brush her away from me, but she doesn't stop. She continues tugging on my arm, pleading with me to stop. Why does she care now? Why does she want to look like a good person in front of people when behind closed doors, she's fucking other men? I can feel anger taking over me. I fucking hate her! She's ruined my fucking life! She's ruined everything!

"Get the fuck off me, you fucking bitch!" I push her with so much force that she falls on the floor hard. 

Shit.

Matt lowers his fist that was aiming towards me and I immediately look at Adam, who I can tell is seething with rage. "What are you playing at?! That's my fucking sister!" He grabs me by the shirt and I prepare myself for the worst.

Instead, he pushes me out of his way and approaches Savannah. "Are you hurt?" He asks her.

"No, I'm okay." She answers, trying to put a brave face on, but I can tell she's lying.
