“You two did what?” Leah screeched, pacing around her apartment, the one in which we were originally supposed to meet at before. Leah was okay with the switch to Seth’s place when we planned it during the short duration between Jacob’s and I discussion to when I stepped out of his door.
Who knew what a simple Wednesday TV night could’ve ended like this, I thought.
“It’s bad enough I had to hear it from Jacob of all people,” she continued to rant. She blew a heavy, hot breath that clustered the whole room, making it uncomfortable to breathe. “I’m am hurt that you, of all people Seth, deceived me. You told me you two would talk! Talk! Not… not…” Her face heated, obviously embarrassed of the word “sex” between her best friend and brother. “Ugh!” She cried out in frustration. “And you, Merris! I would trust you to tell me this! But no, you kept it a secret from me! Do you know how hurt and insulted I am? How disgusted I am with both of you?”
Seth looked redder than I did, biting his bottom lip nervously while I just sunk deeper into her couch, wishing it were a black hole instead.
I’d never thought that I’d see a day Leah would freak out more than Jake would, especially when it came to the topic of her brother, but here I was, being chewed out.
“I told you it was a bad idea,” I hissed at Seth, directing a glare at him, which couldn’t compare to Leah’s.
“You are just as guilty as I am,” he redirected, shoving a finger into my shoulder.
I gaped at the spot. How dare he blame me!
“Enough,” Leah spat. We both looked at her and we slunk lower into a bottomless pit of shame. I’m sure Jacob would love this. “Seth, why would you put yourself in this position? Why would you hurt Olivia like that? You better thank God that she didn’t hear about this. She’d be devastated!”
Seth and I shared a bewildered look.
“What about Olivia? Why should she be concerned?” I asked as the same time as Seth.
“What does she have anything to do with this?” His voice boomed over mine. Something is his eyes told me he knew something or suspected something that I didn’t know. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Olivia was a regular topic, I presumed, or even just a familiar one, I began to suspect.
“You know damn well what I’m talking about,” Leah accused, snarling. “I’ve told you plenty times.”
He glared at his sister and dared to stand up, forgetting about her scowling, and returned an accusing finger.
“And I’ve told you plenty of times, you’re wrong!” He yelled back.
“What are you talking about?” I interjected, sitting up straight, staring at the two Clearwater siblings.
Seth gave me a look and I was instantly puzzled why he was so angry. Leah looked at me with a grim frown. She figured out I was in the complete dark about what was going on.
