Anna's POV
"Do you think I have waited too long?", I question my mother picking at the food on my plate with my fork. I don't have much of an appetite right not. I didn't sleep well knowing that Beau found hickeys on my body caused by Daniel. How more embarrassing can that get? Imagine if Beau found out Daniel gave them me to. His own best friend. Day by day I realized how wrong this is.
"Waited with what?".
"Not telling the boys about Daniel and I?".
My mother sighs deeply. "I don't know... Overall I am happy you told me but to be honest I would be upset if you haven't told me".
"You approve of us together right?".
"Yes I love you two together. I know he makes you happy and he cares about you. However you have to look at it from the boys perspective".
I think to myself for the moment. At this point looking at the positives and negatives is not helping, because in the end both are negative.
If I don't tell the boys they will be upset because I have kept it from them for so long. If I do tell them I have no idea how they will respond to the situation.
"How would you feel?", I ask.
"Well if I was in Beau's place and my sister was dating my best friend I would be pretty ticked off. I would get jealous because he would spend time with her more than me. Not to mention it would be a little awkward. Think about one of your girlfriends dating Beau, or the twins for that matter. You wouldn't like it".
I roll my eyes but she is right. If I found out Andrea was dating Beau I would be a little creped out not to mention feel a little jealous. We would have to share her.. I shake my head trying to the get the thought of the two as a couple out of my head.
"Also you are dating him behind their back", she adds.
"I know but it isn't my fault I fell in love with Daniel it just happened".
"You love him", she half smiles.
I bite down on my lip trying not to go anymore red than I already am.
"Yes I do", I murmur and her half smile turns into a full one.
I run my fingers through my hair before resting my head down on the table. "This is never going to work. What are they going to do when they find out? How do I tell them? Do Daniel and I tell them together? Should Daniel tell them alone. I don't know what to do!" I ramble on with my choices which is very confusing because there are so many options.
My mom rubs her palm up and down my back, "Have Daniel and you talked about this?", she asks sweetly.
"Yes but I know secretly he doesn't want to tell them. He knows how Beau is.... You don't think Beau would ... Hurt him would you?", my voices cracks scared to say the words. If Beau even hurt Daniel to the point he did with Logan I don't know if I can ever forgive him. He will be hurrying the person I love.
"They are best friends", she tells me but she doesn't know the whole story about Logan. She thinks that they got into a little fight and the worst Logan had was a bloody nose. If only she knew he ended up in a hospital. I guess with Daniel it is different. Maybe Beau can learn to accept him.
"Why don't you start giving off hints that you like him or Daniel can talk about you more to the boys and see how they reaction".
"Are you kidding me? They flip out when James even looks at me".
My mother rolls her eyes. "You never know if you never try".
"I am scared to tell them because I am afraid Daniel will leave me", the truth slips out. If anything that is worst than Daniel getting hurt. But Daniel leaving me. It tears my hearts to pieces knowing that is a possible outcome.
"Why would he leave you".
"What happens if the boys forced him to leave me. Daniel told me he would never leave but you never know. Running is always the easiest option".
"He won't leave you if he loves you".
We are interrupted by the boys coming through the front door.
"I am starving!", Beau shouts dropping his things down at the door.
There goes the peace and quiet my mother and I have had for the past two hours while they have been at the gym.
Beau glances up at me taking his bottom lip in between his teeth. He doesn't say a word and I want it to remain that way. He will probably just continue to yell at me. I tried my best trying to hide the hickeys from my mother wearing a scarf and a long sleeve shirt. However it is very warm today and I am beginning to feel a little hot.
"How was the gym?".
"If you couldn't tell it was great", Luke smirks flexing his arms.
I playfully push by him setting myself on the kitchen counter watching Beau as he begins to make himself some food. I feel like I am tempting him to speak in a way. I kind of want to know what he has to say today.
"I am going to take a shower", Luke says before leaving the room. My mother leaves the room as well and goes into her room leaving Beau and Jai alone with me.
"So what time are you and James going tonight?" , Beau asks as he opens the fridge scanning for food.
"Where are you going?".
"I am going to get my eyebrow and cartilage pierced and James is finally getting a piercing done".
"Can I come", I question before even realizing what I have said.
Beau glances over at me however no words fall from his parted lips.
"Ermm... To watch?", Jai raises an eyebrow confused to why I would want to come along.
"I was thinking maybe I can come and get my cartilage done too?".
I look over at Beau waiting for him to speak however he doesn't. He looks down to the floor resting his hands on the counter. I know he doesn't agree with my decision but he doesn't say a word to me. He knows I am still mad at him for bursting out at me yesterday for no reason at all.
"Sure I guess", Jai half smiles.
"James is picking me up in about an half and hour so make sure you are ready", he speaks. Beau presses his lips together trying his best not to comment about me wanting to come along. I am surprised he isn't going to come along to keep an eye on me and 'protect' me.
I walk into my room and change from my sweats into my light washed skinnies. After I change I go back into the kitchen where Beau is. He glances up at me as I enter. I take a seat beside him at the kitchen table however he remains silent. I pull out my phone and notice I have a text from Daniel. "Hey babe", the text reads. I try to hide my smile so Beau won't question me about why I am smiling. Honestly sometimes I feel like I can't be myself around him.
I text Daniel back telling him I am going out with Jai and James to get my cartilage done and I will message him later.
"Have you talked to him", I am distracted by Beau. I look up and his eyes are focused on mine.
"To who?".
"Logan". I haven't thought about Logan for almost a week. It has been so peaceful without him. I wonder why Beau is even asking about him. You know what? It is all Beau's fault. It is all Beau's fault why I even started talking to Logan again. I wonder why he wanted me to get back in contact with him. I would have been better off if I have never spoken to him after he left. Nothing good has come from seeing him.
"No why would I", I reply in a harsh tone. I hate Logan. I am so done with him and ready to move on and get passed these dreadful six months of constantly having arguments with people I love because of him.
"I don't know I was just asking... You should keep it that way". He breaks contact focusing his attention to his plate. My attention is caught by the door bell. It must be James. I walk over to the door and
I turn over to Beau before opening to door.. "Beau.. It wasn't Logan", I say and he knows exactly what I am referring to. He shouldn't even consider Logan as the person who gave me the hickeys but in the end it shouldn't matter. It is a hickey. Nothing special about it.
"Hey Anna!", he smiles wrapping his arms around me when I open the door.
"Jai told me you are coming along?", he asks as he pulls away from the hug.
"Yea I hope that is okay".
"Yes of course", he shows me a reassuring smile.
"Just make sure she doesn't get any ink done", Beau says glancing over arm me.

We arrive to the same tattoo parlor Daniel and I went too when he got his tattoo done and I got my eyebrow pierced. Jai pushes the door open and a small ding is heard. I feel my heart drop in my chest when I see familiar face working at the counter. The boy that was here last time when Daniel and I came here, I believe this name was Kian. Expect this time there is something different about him. His hair has been dyed a shade lighter and has blond highlights near his top fringe. He has his nose pierced and more ink has been added. I hope he doesn't remember me. Kian looks up and flashes me a smile, obviously remembering me. I just hope he doesn't say anything about Daniel; him being my boyfriend.
I swallow the lump rising in my throat as I follow James and Jai to the counter.
"Welcome back", he grins clearly at me and both Daniel and Jai glance over at me.
"Hi", I shyly speak.
"Anna right?", he smiles and Jai glances over at me once again.
I nod awkwardly hoping he won't further speak about me but he does.
"So you are the little sister these guys always talk about", he laughs and Jai shows him an awkward smile.
I can feel the tension in the room rising but I think it is all because of me.
He turns his attention to the computer looking for appointments before speaking again.
"Okay Jai Brooks and James Yammmouni. I don't have your name down for an appointment. Are you going to sit and watch again innocently until you admit you want a piercing", he grins.
"This time I am ready to do it right away. I want my cartilage done".
"Is the big brother approving this time?", he turns to Jai.
Jai rolls his eyes and clearly isn't assume by Kian.
"Where's your dick of a boyfriend", he questions.
I feel my heart stop in my chest at his words. I am too afraid to look over at Jai but from the corner of my eye his eyes are widen in shock.
I try to think of something quickly to say but I remain speechless.
"He wasn't my boyfriend, we already went over this", I speak trying to give Kian the hint, thankfully he does.
"Oh yea sorry I forgot..", he says but Jai still has wide eyes. I wonder if he has put the pieces together and realized Kian was referring to Daniel.
"Well you boys can head towards the back and Josh can do the piercings for you. As for Anna follow me", he says and I can feel my stomach beginning to turn. I don't think this was such a good idea after all.
I follow Kian to the room he did my eyebrow in and he closes the door behind me.
"I can't believe you just said that! My brother doesn't know I am dating Daniel and you basically just gave it away!", I shout in anger
I didn't mean to yell at Kian, however in the end he never knew and it wasn't his fault. But I can help but be upset. I don't want Jai to find out like this. I guess the guilt of not telling the boys yet is eating me alive. It is making me so paranoid.
"I am sorry! If you want I can say something".
"No please. Just leave it alone. Can we just get this over with please". Kian was clearly surprised my my rude attitude.
"Okay of you are going to be a bitch you can get this done by someone else", he speaks but he has notright to call me a bitch.
"I am sorry for busting out on you but there is no need for names", my voice lower than before.
"Sorry", he mutters.
"I am sorry too.. You didn't know and it wasn't your fault. I have just been on edge lately.. Please lets just get this over with".

In the car it is silent. Jai is siting in the passenger sit on his phone while James drives us home.
"What did he mean about boyfriend who was he referring to", Jai questions breaking the silence.
I take a deep breath in wondering if I should lie or tell him the truth.
"I don't know. Maybe he thought Daniel was my boyfriend when I went along with him.... Know that I think about it, that is so weird.. Ew Daniel. I can't even imagine us being together. Why would be think that", I pretend to cringe but my heart breaks inside at my words. If Daniel heard me saying this things he would hate me. I should be standing up for him not insulting him.
Jai and James both laugh and I manage to force myself to join in. I am surprise Jai believe me. That was so close. Sooner or later they are going to find out. I am not ready for that day. I am happy Jai didn't think any more of what Kian said.
