The Twins(Babies series #3)

8.

Lees POV
Declan and Grayson yanked me outside and finally let go of me.

I was pissed off.

"I'm not dealing with this" Declan said and walked back inside, closing the door behind him.

"You need to get your act together" Grayson said and I rolled my eyes.

"Why do you think I'll listen to you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You are tearing Leah to shreds, she loves you so damn much and all you do is create more and more problems for her and I'm tired of seeing her cry and worry about you all the time. All you do is bring bad things to her." I was intrigued because Leah always acts like nothing bothers her.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Remember a year ago when you missed your birthday because you were in jail..." I nodded, I attacked a kid in school.

"Well, like any birthday your parents got two cakes one for you and one for Leah. She sat there in front of all of your family and her friends and blew out both set candles. She said it didn't bother her. She would celebrate with you when you got out of jail..."

"Where is this going?" I asked impatiently because all he was telling me was things I already knew. I missed a birthday and my parents get Leah and I our own cakes. He rolled his eyes and continued.

"She looked happy and enjoyed the party and once everyone left she disappeared, so I went looking for her. I found her in your room crying her eyes out while hugging your pillow. If anybody didn't know the situation they would have thought you died or something." He said. Yes, I kind of felt guilty but I couldn't control what happened.

"What's your point?" I asked.

"Don't get me wrong, I've seen Leah cry. I've seen her cry when she found out she was pregnant and I've seen her cry when she was in labor. All the times since then she's cried because of you. You hurt her in so many ways but she still loves you and she would rather cry in private than show anybody how much she's being torn apart. She's scared to lose you, if she shows you how much you affect her than she's scared you will go off and do something stupid because you'll feel bad." My anger towards him grew again.

"She's family, more importantly she's my twin so I would never intentionally hurt her so you can stop implying that she should give up on me or stop talking to me. Is that what you do when something gets tough? You just give up on that family member? If Bentley or Amelia grew up like me and made Leah cry would you just give up on them? No you wouldn't. You know why you wouldn't?" He looked at me.

"Because they're family and you never give up on family" Grayson let out a laugh at that.

"You sound ridiculous, we literally just pulled you off of your brother because you were attacking him and in the process of that you pushed Leah to the ground and you want to talk about family and how much family matters" he let out another little sarcastic laugh.

"You know what's ridiculous? You want to tell me how much I am ruining Leah's life but guess what, your the one who ruined her life" his lips went into a frown and he raised an eyebrow at me

"How am I ruining her life?" He asked and he seemed genuinely interested.

"Before you came into the picture, Leah had so many hopes and dreams. She wanted to go to college and become a business woman. She wanted to open her own business and make it into an empire. She wanted to travel all over the world, she would sit in my room for hours and talk about everywhere she wanted to visit she even had a future plans book. She wanted to enjoy life before she settled down and had kids but that changed when she got pregnant" I said as I stared at him.

"She can still go to college and open her own business" he responded and I just shook my head.

"She doesn't want our parents to pay for her college since they help out with the twins and cover the costs of them. She told me she's fine with being a stay at home mom since apparently you want to go to school to become a doctor and that'll take years and a lot of money." I don't think Leah ever discussed her future with him.

"Life doesn't always happen the way you plan it in your head. Things change even if you don't want them to. She has to understand that." Grayson told me and I nodded.

"She understands that, that's why she's going to let you live out your dreams while she sits on the sidelines" Grayson seemed to be battling with himself.

"You crushed her dreams, so I didn't ruin her life, you did"

That was my last comment before I walked back inside to find Lincoln, so I could apologize.
