Chapter 37: You're Back?
Amelia's P.O.V
I rip open the blanket to the hideout, to be greeted with Harry, Carter and Austin all burying their heads into either a pillow or their hands.
"Your back?!" gasps Bree in disbelief, "Already?"
They all continue staring ahead not making contact.
"Do you know where he is?" I ask
Still no reply. Right that's it! I march straight to them and click my fingers in front of Austin's face, "I'm talking to you, you prick! Answer me!" I snap
He looks straight into my eyes and I can tell he's been crying. I suddenly feel guilty for shouting at him like that. I turn my head guiltily, but I'm only able to see more saddened faces. I look deeply into Harry's eyes and he slowly shakes his leg repeatedly, looking like he has no control over his body and his bottom lip starts to quiver.
I look at his face in worry and I walk up to him perching myself on his lap. One of his arms slowly snake around my waist and move his hair aside so I can see his face properly.
"What happened Harry?" I whisper
He opens his mouth to speak but no words come out, like his throat is all dried up.
I kiss his forehead and rest my arm on the back of the sofa calmly stroking his hair. No one in the room says anything. I give him some time to speak and I look towards Bree and Gabs. They give me questioning looks and I shrug. Gabs sighs and strolls towards Austin taking his hand. She whispers something in his ear and I see Austin giving a small smile. Even though Gabs can be selfish and annoying at times, she makes my brother happy and that's I need her to do. Austin's face goes directly back to concerned. He lies back onto the sofa, scratching his neck breathing out. Bree sits herself on the bean bag her arms and legs spreading out, like she owns the place. I should work for the CIA.
"I'm sorry" croaks Harry suddenly
I turn my head towards him and look at him with confusion. I stop stroking his hair and gently lift his chin up so he's facing me.
"What?" I reply
"I'm sorry" he repeats, "I told you Blake will be fine and we'll get him back, but no here we fucking are deciding whether Blaze is lying or telling the truth" he cries
"Lying about what?" I question
He goes quiet letting out an uneasy breath. You can smell the tension in the air.
"If-if h-he's dead o-or n-not" murmurs Harry a few minutes later
"WHAT?" shout me, Gabs and Bree at the same time
"HE WOULDN'T!" spits Gabs
"I guess we don't know him as well as we think we know him" says Carter
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I seethe. I pull away from Harry and I see his expression turn immediately soft and sad that I pulled away from him. I clench my fists and storm up to Austin, "YOU" I snarl, "WHAT BROTHER ARE YOU, TO LEAVE YOUR OWN BROTHER TO DIE?"
I take a throw at his face and he winces slightly.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow" I hiss, comforting my fists, "I hate you for being made out of stone"
"Do you think I would let him do that?" he says, "What do you take me for?"
"A SELFISH BASTARD!" I screech, tears coming to my eyes
"I'M TRYING!" he shouts. You can tell you shouldn't piss him off even more...his blood is BOILING with anger
"WELL TRY HARDER!" I shout
