Chapter 14: Blood Boiling, Blood Pressure, Blood Loss

»Merel's POV«

I ran out into the hall to see Ali, gritted teeth, pinning Natalie against the wall and holding her by the front of her shirt. Her eyes were filled with fire and rage. Eddie came out in the hall the same time I did and pulled them apart. If he hadn't been there, I'd probably help Ali beat that bitch.

"What's going on here?" He asked.

"What's going on is I overheard this bitch talking shit about Merel and Sophia. As soon as I find Ashley I'm gonna hurt her too."

I did a mix of a groan and a growl, then looked at Eddie. "Go." I said.

"Hell no!" He protested.

"This isn't your fight! Go!" I yelled at him.

He huffed and turned around giving me a dirty look. I watched until he was completely gone, then turned to Natalie. She looked scared but I can't blame her. Ali and I both looked like we wanted to kill her.

"Why don't you two come in and we'll discuss this in private." I said gesturing towards my room.

They followed me in and I made sure to close the door. Then I stopped for a second to think. I don't trust anyone not to listen in.

"Hang on," I started to leave the room. "And don't kill each other while I'm gone."

"I'll try." Ali murmured.

I walked downstairs to where everyone was sitting and gestured for Aleks to follow me. Luckily, he did. I really trust him enough for him to help us out.

"What's up?" He asked as we started upstairs.

I didn't answer until we got to the door. "I just need a door guard." I smiled.

"Only if I get to listen in."

"Okay fine." I sarcastically sighed then giggled.

I opened the door once more and this time Aleks closed it. I like having him around a lot. Even though I haven't known him for that long, I already treat him like a brother.

I turned around to see both Ali and Natalie unhappy, Natalie still scared. She was leaned against the wall and Ali was on the bed. I turned the office chair around and sat down, looking back and forth at both of them. Putting my elbows on my knees, I hung my head and sighed.

"You wanna tell me what exactly you and Ashley were saying about Sophia?"

"We weren't saying shit!"

I hate lairs. I hate having to deal with them and having to unravel them.

"You're better off being straight up." I warned.

She still refused to speak. "I told you we weren't saying anything!"

I pulled my switchblade from my pocket and pointed the blade straight at her. Even Ali got a little scared and tense.

"You wanna try that again?"

Her voice became shaky and Ali stayed there still not saying a word. Finally Natalie swallowed and spoke.

"I... I promise I was just agreeing with her cause I didn't wanna get into it with her, b-but she was saying stuff... stuff like how you're a slut. Generic bashing like that. Nothing more, I promise!"

I still didn't believe her but I did lower my blade. "Are you sure that's it?" I hissed.

"No." She sighed guiltily. "She... she said you'd sleep with Seamus at the drop of a hat, or just any of the guys. I guess... guess Seamus told her about you being bi and she was kinda gay-bashing and shit like that."
