“What are we going to do?” Mum asks as well all sit down in the lounge room.
I feel like a complete idiot not letting Harry explain and now that we all know I feel even worse. But Harry seems to understand. He knows that it hurt me and that I couldn’t talk to him and he keeps telling me to stop apologizing. But I still can’t help feel a tad of guilt. My brain can hardly comprehend all that has happened today. But I’m slowly getting used to so much destruction in one day.
I’m glad we have all sorted out our problems but what are we supposed to do with Zach?
He said on the phone “We have nearly finished our plan dad. We’re finally getting back at them for leaving us.”
Nearly finished his plan, so there’s more to come, which makes my stomach churn. What more damage could he do to us? Why is he even doing it? It’s not like we abandoned them, they deserved all we did. They hurt mum and I so we left. We left them and their abusive ways. We didn’t hurt them in any way, so why are they getting ‘revenge’.
The room is quiet as we all try to think. No one knows how to react. I can see the tears brimming mums eyes. I knew she would be shocked by this news. I’m shocked as well, but I knew he would hurt us soon enough. Just not this bad.
“I can just go to your house now and bash the shit out of him.” Harry growls sliding his arm around my waist and pulling me closer.
I can see how angry he is by the way his jaw is clenched and his fist is balled. Anger and sympathy is the only expression written on his face.
“No Harry, we have to think this through.” I sigh and look up to him. His face holds an angry scowl, but he knows I’m right. We can’t just go there and hurt him. We need to plan this.
“I have an idea.” William pipes.
“Tell us.” Mum demands. Well its good he thought of something, because nothing was coming to my head.
“This might be hard and it’s going to take a couple days.” He sighs and we nod along.
“I think Mia and Marian should play along, and pretend that we’re still not talking to each other. Pretend that we’re all still hurt and angry. Then take Zach out for dinner one night. While you’re their Harry and I pack his bags and wait out the front for you guys to arrive home. When you get back we all can say what we want to, too Zach and then just kick him out.” He tells us all.
“Kick him out?” Mum asks. Oh no, she’s not seriously going to stick up for him or something.
“What else are we supposed to do mum?” I say trying to keep my calm.
“I suppose that’s the only way.” She sighs. “I’m sorry, I just can comprehend that he did this to all of us.”
“Not trying to rub it in or make this worse. But I did warn you, I told you he hadn’t changed.” I mumble trying not to use the exact words ‘I told you so.’ I didn’t want to rub it in too bad.
“I know you did Mia. I’m sorry. I should have listened to you.” She mumbles back.
I feel a bit of anger rise because if she would have listened to me, we wouldn’t be here. Harry and I would have never had that fight and I would have never felt the most unbearable pain. I push the anger back, I can’t be mad at mum. Not right now, it’s not right to blame it all on her.
“I think it’s a good plan.” I say to William.
“I think we are letting him go to easy.” Harry growls. “He fucking did this to all of us. Not to mention the shit he’s done in the past. He deserves more than just to be kicked out.” He bites.
