Gavin

The kitchen is surprisingly silent this morning. It actually makes me feel uncomfortable because I forgot how it was to stand in a quiet kitchen. Since Lily moved in the kitchen haven't even been a tad quiet because she and Miriam is always moving around. If it isn't to prepare our food, it's just them talking and laughing about random stuff.

This morning is different though. I'm leaning against the counter, sipping my coffee silently. Danny is looking out of the window, staring at god knows what. Adam, Henry and Max is sitting at the kitchen table, bickering about who makes the best pancakes. 

When I woke up this morning I felt totally miserable. Lily didn't come home last night, I know this because I stayed up until 3 am this morning, waiting for her to return. I can't remember half the things I did last night but I do remember going off on Lily. Seeing her in the arms of another man made me lose it. When I saw that guy standing up and walking to her side, I watched them like a hawk. I really wish I hadn't because when I saw him kiss her I saw red. My body had a mind of it's own as it stood up and marched over to them. 

I close my eyes in an attempt to get rid of the memories. When I open them again I see Danny watching me with a small smile.

"You like her, don't you?"

I'm completely taken back by his sudden question. Usually Danny isn't this sappy when it comes to girls, but lately he's acting strange about me and Lily.

"Man, I don't know anymore. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe it's just the stress from work. I really don't know anymore." I walk to the sink and wash my cup.

"Of course you know. You just don't want to accept it because you are scared to get hurt again."

I spin around and march over to Max. He jumps up a moment before I grab him by the collar.

"Don't you dare say that to me. You don't have any idea what I went through so shut your bloody mouth."

Max's face changes from calm to angry in less than a minute. "Of course I know what you went through. We were there remember. We were the one's who stood by your side when that bitch decided to rip you apart piece by piece. We were there for you when you decided to cut off you parents." At this point Max is breathing hard.

All the things he said is true, I know that. But he just brought up a lot of new memories that I had buried a long time ago.

I let go of Max and walk to the other side of the room.

"Do you like her Gavin?" I turn to look back at Danny. 

"I think I do but I guess I'm scared." I look pointedly at Max, who smiling like a Cheshire cat. "What if she's just like Meghan?"

Danny stares at me as if I had just lost my mind. "What's wrong with you? How can you even compare them?"

I shrug and my shoulders sag. Out of the corner of my eye I see Henry standing up from his chair and walking to me. He places a hand on my shoulder and squeeze lightly.

"I'm only saying this once because you know I hate all that sappy shit. Don't let the one who didn't love you keep you from the one who does." He walks to the coffee maker to switch it on.

Is he implying that Lily loves me? Impossible. It's way to soon. She has been here for only a few weeks. How could she possibly have those types of feelings for me?

Before I can say anything we here the front door open. I breath a sigh of relief when I see Lily walking into the kitchen. But that relief soon vanish because the guy from last night is right behind her.

I look at Lily and see that she's still wearing the same clothes from last night. The guy has a huge smile plastered across his face. Something clearly happened.

"Glad to see you're finally home. Did you at least have fun with your new boy toy?" The bitterness seeps through my mouth, even though I try to keep my emotions at bay.

I see Lily visibly flinch. Crap, I can't let her see the effect she has on me.

The guy's jaw drops open in shock. "My name is Joe and Lily is not like that." His voice is deadly calm. There is a bit of anger in his eyes, but otherwise it's full of concern. 

I push myself away from the counter and make a beeline to Joe. "She was kissing me a few days before she hooked up with you." We are standing chest to chest, neither one of us backing down.

"God, you're stupid! First of all she's not my type," he turns to her with a sorry smile, she returns his smile, "and second of all we didn't do anything except sleep, you fucktard!" He rakes his fingers angrily through his hair and pull hard.

I scoff. "Yeah, that's probably why she looks so tired and why you have a fucking grin as long as the Great Wall of China plastered on your face!"

Behind him I can see Lily shadowing further away from me as my voice grows louder. He notices this too and turn around to pull her tighter behind him. 

An angry growl escapes my lips but it soon disappears when I see Lily's terrified gaze locked on me.I take a step forward to comfort her but the asshole steps in front of me, stopping me from moving forward.

"She is tired because she struggled to fall asleep last night due to you! She was scared you would kick her to the curb." I can't believe what I'm hearing.

I look over Joe's shoulder. Lily's eyes locks with mine and for a moment I'm completely at a loss for words.

"Why would you think that?" The gentleness in my voice surprise me. The last time I spoke so gently was when I was a kid.

I wait for Lily's answer but she turns her eyes to the ground and stays silent.

"If what you're saying is true why did you kiss her last night?" 

He smiles widely. "To prove a point."

My eyebrows nit together in confusion. "What point?"

"That you are jealous."

Laughter comes from the other side of the room where the guys are seated. "I am not jealous. She can do whatever she wants with who ever she wants."

I know I'm lying but I am way too proud and stubborn to let this guy prove me wrong.

"What did you mean when you told us that she isn't your type?" As usual Max can't keep his big mouth quite for a few minutes.

I wait for Joe to answer because I am curious too. Joe smiles wide, puff out his chest and looks directly at me. "Let's just say I'm more into you than I am into her."

Now that was something I didn't expect.
