I finished making a cup of tea when I saw Jess about to leave.

"Hey Jess, wait!" I called and left my tea on the side following her to the hallway.

I gave her a smile and she returned it, "you need a lift to school?" I asked.

She shook her head, "nope. Bye." She said quickly and left.

I frowned before running a hand through my hair and then looked behind me, Paul and Karen had left earlier and Nathan was still getting ready. I sighed before opening the front door and saw Jess talking to Austin by his car. I felt myself tense up.

Austin leaned in to kiss her, I looked around before picking up some snow and threw it at Austin's head. He stopped and turned before seeing me.

Jess looked at me shocked, "Lexi what are you doing?" Jess asked shocked.

I walked down the few steps before walking over to them, "you shouldn't be hanging around him, he's no good." I said.

Austin winked at me, "hello sweetheart," he said. I glared at him.

"You can't tell me what to do Lexi, Austin lets go," Jess said annoyed.

Austin shrugged, "she's right Lexi, you can't tell her what to do."

I rolled my eyes, "I will tell Nathan, Jess get inside now."

Jess shook her head, "look... what I said to you was a mistake, I'm staying with Austin. Come on Austin lets go," Jess mumbled giving me an apologetic look.

I shook my head, "he's bad news Jess."

"So is my brother yet you are still hanging around with him," Jess retorted before getting into Austin's car.

I looked at Austin, "leave her alone. Please, she is just a kid Austin."

Austin chuckled, "well then, start working on what I told you to do," he said before getting into his car and driving off.

I groaned and kicked some snow on the ground annoyed. This is my fault. I have to do what Austin says or Jess gets hurt. Either way Nathan or Jess will get hurt.

I turned and started walking back inside. I closed the door and was warmed up by the warm house, I went into the kitchen and grabbed my cup of tea before taking a sip of it.

"What's up with you?" Nathan asked coming into the kitchen. He put a beanie on before stealing my tea.

I let him and looked at my black painted nails, "nothing," I answered and wrapped the scarf around my neck.

Nathan chuckled, "I did mark you pretty well."

I rolled my eyes, "not funny Nathan."

He smirked, "it is. I need to go somewhere today so I'm not going to class I'll see you when you get back." He said.

I frowned, "where you going?" I asked.

"Just somewhere," he snapped before chewing his lip ring, "see you later," he said and put his cup down and went to leave.

I sighed and looked at my hands before someone lifted my chin up, Nathan gave me a small smile before leaning down and kissing my lips softly. When he broken away he kissed my cheek, "see you later gorgeous," he mumbled before leaving.

I smiled as I stood up. I grabbed my bag and lifted it onto my shoulder and then headed towards the front door, when I was outside I locked the door before heading towards my own car and getting in. I turned on the heater and radio before I started driving towards the campus.

When I arrived I got out and locked my door. I lifted my bag over my shoulder and headed towards class not bothering with getting a hot chocolate. On my way to history I saw Austin laughing with Ben, I clenched my fists together before walking over to them.

Austin looked at me before saying something to Ben who left when I arrived, "hello again sweetheart," Austin chuckled.

I rolled my eyes, "stay away from Jess," I ordered.

Austin raised an eyebrow, "now why would I do that? She is such a cute little thing. So innocent."

I glared at him, "yes she is innocent and you will leave her alone! Jess has nothing to do with any of this Austin. Please just leave her alone."

"Do one thing for me and then I'll leave her alone," Austin said.

I frowned, "do what?" I asked carefully.

Austin smirked, "when I think of it I'll tell you until then I'll keep messing about with Jess. It will be interesting when Nathan finds out, especially since you knew. He will hate you."

One minute I was glaring at him and then the next I was slapping Austin. He turned his head from the slap before looking at me with wide eyes, my hand started stinging and I noticed the red mark on his cheek.

He gripped my arm harshly, "you won't do that again. Remember the last time you did that?" he said through gritted teeth.

I nodded my head in shock, "get out of my face. Well done Lexi, now you have made me angry and I think I'll go see Jess after school," he snapped before bumping his shoulder with mine as he passed.

I took a shaky breath, what have I done?

"Lexi?" I turned around and saw Jay looking at me concerned, "you ok?" he asked.

I shook my head, "no... but I'll be ok," I mumbled shakily.

Jay frowned before walking up to me, I flinched away a little and he stopped walking. He looked at me confused before he slowly walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.

"Shh, it's ok, I don't think you should go to class today." Jay mumbled.

I nodded my head not saying anything, "let's go to my dorm ok? I'll call Nath-" I shook my head.

"He's busy, don't call him I'm fine, please don't call him," I pleaded.

Jay frowned before nodding his head, "ok I won't call him. Let's go to my dorm and I'll make you a tea or something," he said softly.

I nodded my head at him and we walked towards the dorm blocks. We headed inside from the snowy outside and went up to his floor, and then went into his dorm room. Jay guided me over to the sofa, I took my bag off and placed it beside me.

Jay looked at me concerned, "how many sugars?" he asked.

"Two please," I answered before I started fiddling with my hands.

I slapped Austin. He was going to do something to Jess and it was my fault. He wants me to "break" Nathan, just like Austin did to me. I suddenly started feeling sick remembering that summer, the worst summer of my life. I then started thinking about Nathan, he was keeping something from me wasn't he? Everyone seemed to know something that I didn't. Ally and Sophie making snarky remarks about me sleeping with someone. What was that all about?

"Here you go," Jay said handing me the cup of tea.

I smiled slightly and took a sip of it before holding the cup in my hands warming them up. All these thoughts kept going around in my head, I have so many questions but no one will answer any of them.

"So what happened to make you go all shaky?" Jay asked lightly.

I opened my mouth to say something before I felt tears sting my eyes, "it's all my fault Jay. I have done something really bad and it's all my fault. He is going to hate me when he finds out! I didn't want this to happen but it did and... I don't know what to do. He's going to do something to her and it's all my fault!" I gushed out before I started crying.

Jay looked at me shocked and took my tea putting it on the table and then pulled me into a hug, "who's going to do what to who?" he asked softly.

"I can't say! If I say then I know he will hate me, I don't want him to hate me!" I cried.

"Lexi listen to me, if you don't say who then I can't help you. Please, tell me," he pleaded.

I gulped slightly, "its... I can't say Jay."

Jay sighed, "I want to help you Lexi, so let me help you."

I shook my head, "I'm being stupid. Don't tell Nathan about this, please. I need... I need to go." I said quickly and stood up. I grabbed my bag and quickly went over to the door while Jay stood up. I opened the door before freezing when I saw him.

"You aren't going anywhere until you tell me what's wrong," Nathan snapped harshly as he glared at me.

I turned and looked at Jay, "I told you not to call him!" I accused.

Jay gave me an apologetic look, "I didn't. I texted him instead. Just tell us what's going on Lexi."

I shook my head in disbelief, "I can't deal with this I'm going," I mumbled and wiped my eyes before trying to leave but Nathan grabbed my arm and stopped me. He pulled me inside again with him before slamming the door closed.

Nathan carried on glaring at me while keeping a strong grip on my arm. Jay looked between us, "I'll leave you two alone." He said after a moment and gave Nathan a look before giving me a small smile.

I looked away from Jay and his smile dropped before he left the dorm. Once the door closed again I tried getting out of Nathan's strong grip, "let go of me," I snapped.

"Are you going to run off?" he asked annoyed.

"No," I answered.

Nathan let go of me and I dropped my bag to the ground before running a hand through my hair, "now tell me why Jay thought it was important to text me while I was busy." Nathan said annoyed.

I turned and glared at him, "what were you doing exactly Nathan?" I snapped.

"That is none of your damn business," he yelled, "now fucking tell me why you were crying. You aren't leaving until you do and I swear to god I will get it out of you the easy way or the hard way."

I bit my lip before rolling my eyes and walked over to the window. I looked outside as the snow began falling again, "if I say something you will hate me," I said quietly.

I heard a ragged breath, "just tell me Lexi." He ordered a little softer.

I debated the choices of telling him, if I do tell him then he hates me but Jess would be alright and Austin would get beaten up. If I don't tell him then something could happen to Jess and it would be my fault, and Nathan would still hate me. I wonder if it would hurt if I jumped out the window. Maybe I could try sneaking pass Nathan?

"Just tell me what's going on Lexi," Nathan said a lot harsher this time.

I looked behind me and at him where he stood. His hands were shoved into his dark wash jeans, there was little flakes of snow on his beanie and his leather jacket also his boots were a little muddy.

"It's about Austin," I mumbled.

Nathan's whole body tensed, "what's happened? Has he said something?" Nathan quickly asked.

I frowned, "it's not about me... well it's about Jess, your sister." I whispered.

His face dropped and he suddenly started glaring at me, "what the fuck has that disgusting twat done to my sister?" Nathan demanded.

I took a shaky breath, "it's more of what he's going to do... the thing is Jess likes him and they use to be together. They were sneaking around and then they kind of..." I blushed, how do I explain to Nathan his sister had sex with Austin?

"They kind of got closer and well... today I slapped Austin and he's angry so he said he will do something to Jess," I said quietly.

Nathan looked at me angrily, "why didn't you tell me this before?" he asked calmly.

"I... I knew how angry you would be and... I thought I could handle it," I started but Nathan shook his head and started walking towards me.

I took a few steps back before being stuck against the wall near the window, Nathan cornered me and started glaring at me again, "well you were fucking wrong weren't you? I swear if anything has happened to my sister I will end you!" he shouted and punched the wall beside my head.

I blinked back tears that threatened to fall, "I'm... I'm sorry Nathan," I whispered.

He shook his head and harshly chewed his lip ring, "you know what? I can't deal with you at the moment." He said coldly before walking away. He walked out the dorm, I wiped a stray tear that fell down before following after him.

"Nathan don't do anything stupid!" I called after him. He ignored me. He quickly walked down the flight of stairs and I followed after him and outside.

"Nathan! Nathan listen to me please," I pleaded but Nathan kept walking until he spotted Austin smoking by a tree instead of being in class. He was alone.

My eyes widened as Nathan stormed over to Austin, "Nathan stop, please," I repeated but Nathan grabbed Austin's shirt making Austin look at him shocked. Austin dropped his cigarette to the ground and raised an eyebrow at Nathan before Nathan smacked him against the tree.

"Woah Nathan, mate calm down," Austin said a little panicked.

Nathan smacked him against the tree again, "stay away from my sister!" Nathan shouted before swinging his arm back and hitting Austin in the face.

Austin frowned before he glared at me, "calm down mate," Austin started but Nathan shook his head and punched Austin in the stomach.

"She's my fucking sister! Stay away from her," Nathan spat.

Austin groaned before punching Nathan in the stomach as well, Nathan bent over and Austin kicked his legs but Nathan stayed upright. I went to intervene when someone held me back, I looked behind me and saw Jay he was shaking his head at me.

I struggled against Jay's grip as Nathan stood upright and punched Austin once again in the face, Austin spat out some blood before grinning at Nathan, "come on mate. Don't do anything else, you know what I can do," Austin said harshly.

Nathan stopped from going to hit Austin again and instead just glared at him, "I told you I won't do it anymore. I did the first part but I won't do the second part," Nathan said angrily.

"I could say something. I think that is pretty important, don't you?" Austin said smirking.

Nathan just glared at him and I stopped struggling in Jay's grip, "plus I think you lied about the first bit. Yes you gave evidence but I still don't believe you so it's still on, do both bits no one gets hurt," Austin said.

"Apart from the person involved," Nathan snapped.

Austin shrugged and winced a little, "mate you wanted this. You started it so you need to finish it." Austin said before walking away well more like limping away.

I looked at Nathan confused but he just looked at Jay before wiping his bloodied nose and then Nathan stormed pass me.

Jay let go of me and I turned and looked at Jay, "what the hell?" I asked.

Jay shook his head, "it doesn't matter. Come on, you need a drink." He mumbled.

I went to say something but what did I have to say? What was Austin talking about? Not like Jay will tell me anything. What I do know is that Nathan hates me. And I deserve him to, I was an idiot.
