Chapter 12
"Sorry, the server whom you are trying to reach is not available at this moment. Please leave a message after the tone."
"Ugh!" I threw my phone across my bed for the tenth time during the past hour. Pulling at the top of my hair, I reached for my phone once more to dial Andrea's number before Jack snatched it out of my hand.
"Hey, give it back!" I almost screamed in devastation, the constant anxiety in the pit of my stomach taking a visible toll on me.
"There is no point Cher. They're in lockdown." Jack said, putting my phone down on the drawer beside my bed.
Shaking my head, I started to feel the tears pinch the back of my eyes. "She… she's my best friend." My voice was shaking as I slowly sat on my bed, my shoulders sagging down in defeat.
"Ah chill." Finn shook his head in my direction. "Just because she goes to that uni doesn’t mean she was a victim." He pointed out calmly before he bent down to look through the mini fridge. "God, is there something to fucking eat here? I'm starving!"
"Wha-- How are you so cal--" I began to question but Jack cut me off for the second time that day. I swear if he did that one more time…
"Uhm Finn. May I talk to you for a moment?" Jack eyed his brother oddly, and Finn returned the look in a knowing manner as if the two shared an imperceptible bond with each other.
"Excuse us." Finn pushed passed a confused me as he went into the bathroom, Jack following in his track as they closed the door behind them. What the actual fuck?!
Acting on my first instinct, I quietly tiptoed towards the bathroom door, leaning my left ear on it as I decided eavesdropping wouldn’t be such a bad idea after all.
"Is it seriously that hard to act normal?!" I heard Jack whisper. After which there was a long pause before Finn's voice was heard. "I AM acting normal mate. You worry too much."
"Goddamn it Finn!" was all Jack said before the door suddenly flew open bringing me along with it as I was perched on it like an idiot.
"Holy shit!" I gasped as I tried to gain my balance one more.
"What the…" Jack was looking at me disapprovingly, causing my cheeks to turn bright red.
"I… I was just… uhm" I stuttered like a dumbass.
"Eavesdropping?" Finn looked at me darkly, his mood shifting suddenly, freezing the blood in my veins.
Upon noticing Finn's sudden mood swing, Jack suddenly grabbed me by my arm in instinct and pulled me behind him in a protective manner. "Calm down mate. She meant no harm." He said solemnly as he oddly eyed his brother once more.
"Alright." Finn shrugged, backing up a few steps as he put his hands in the pockets of his black skinny jeans, his thumbs poking out. "Just tell your bitch to stick to her own goddamn business and not intrude in ours." Finn bent to the side to look me up and down, his eyes narrowing dangerously as they suddenly fixed on mine. "Or someone will seriously get hurt."
Swallowing the lump that had now formed deep in my throat, I quickly shook away the fear that dominated my whole body as I turned around and quickly began for the door, wanting nothing more than to get away from both the Harries twins. Opening it, I stormed out and started down the hall, trying hard to contain my self-composure.
"I saw it coming." I heard Jack say from behind me as he started to walk after me, catching up to me in a matter of seconds.
"Saw what coming?" I questioned loudly, losing my patience with every passing second.
