A Life Of Secrets~ Book Two

Not Make Belief

Minutes passed by slowly as I took breaths in and out. I heard the front door open as I saw Blake come out. "Castia already screamed at me, so unless your here to imitate her then leave." I reminded. "I believe you, in fact I saw the whole thing." I looked up at my brother as I slowly got up. "You what...?" I questioned unbelieved. "I saw what happened... I felt a bad vibe and I used my magic to see what happened, what's with all the bad guys being blondes? First Michael and now this girl Britney?" Blake sighed with a soft chuckle. "This is definitely not funny! Bryan hates me! Probably more than hates!" I exclaimed. "Heh sorry... um I'm gonna explain everything to Oliver,Heather,Castia and Violet see you soon." I waved to him and a few moments after her went in I looked if anyone was around and slowly brought my wings out flying up to the window where Bryan and Britney were. The window was slightly open so I got to hear what they were saying. "I'm really sorry..." Bryan apologized with a breath that sunk my heart. "It's not your fault, but I just don't understand why she would attack me." Britney replied. "I'm not sure ether... I thought she was different but she changed... a lot..." I kept my anger in watching as Bryan got more and more memorized by Britney's words. "I don't want you being near her Bryan, please promise me that." I clutched my hands together afraid to hear his answer, would he really promise her that...? "Look you need rest, I'll get the guests out and come back to check on you tomorrow, your dads coming back in about ten minutes and you've got whatever you need." Bryan explained as he went to the door. "But promise me to stay away from Amber please!" Britney repeated as I narrowed my eyes. Bryan sighed and answered. "I... I promise..." I then fell down onto the grass as I lost control of my wings, he promised her that... How, Why? I didn't know wether to be angry or guilty. I took a deep breath and walked inside the house as I saw Bryan in the living room with the others. "How could you promise her that?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "You heard us?!" Bryan questioned. Everyone starred at us as tears went down my face. "How can you trust her Bryan?! I was the one always there for you! That girl is just a back stabbing beast!" Bryan went to me grabbing me by my wrists. "You attacked her! And it's all because of you stupid jealousy! You left me at that junk adoption centre, you were out in the world while I was inside! You never even thought of coming for me, now how is that you always being there for me?!" He shouted. I've never argued with Bryan before, nor have I ever seen him this angry. "She framed me! She thought I was just going to steal your lips away from hers, but I was happy for you and you might have not seen that but I am! For so long I wanted to come back for you but I had responsibilities! And the only reason why that blonde is hurt is because SHE was the one who threw those glasses on the ground! She is the one who you should promise to stay away from!" Then that was the moment I had enough and shoved Bryan away and ran outside running somewhere I don't even know nor want to know. All I was around was the back of some kind of restaurant where they would put their garbage, what a great place to run to... "Amber...?" I heard a voice call. I stayed quiet knowing it was Bryan. "Amber I know your over there is coming." I huffed still not answering but without me doing anything Bryan came to me with a guilty face, which he deserved. "I'm sorry, I should have let you talk to me before I freaked out." He explained as he scratched his arm awkwardly. "Yup." I answered raising my eyebrows rudely. "She's nicer than you think, she just had a bad past and is very... intense at times." Bryan paused. I looked at him confused. "What do you mean by that?" "Well... She had a relationship but stopped as she learned that she was being cheated on, she's very protective now, I understand both point of views though. You and Britney." I sighed and hugged him tightly, it was something I didn't do often to people. "...Did you forget about me before...?" I asked coming out like a whisper, I needed to know if what Blake said was true. Bryan looked down and back up to me. "I had a lot going on in my life but I always remembered your face." "But in what way..?" I added biting my lip hard. Bryan paused as he played with his shirt, he was hiding something. "In what way did you see me Bryan?" I repeated. "I... I thought you were just.... just rude... I was so upset for the longest time, you just disappeared one day..." He spoke sadly. I held onto Bryan's hands as I squeezed them tightly reminding him "I don't blame you, I hope you can forgive me... Do you?" My stomach became tease as our faces got closer every moment, I knew what was going to happen which scared me. I closed my eyes and felt our lips connect for a few moments and parted. I looked at Bryan with both of us looking like fresh tomatoes. "I'm sor-" "Don't, it was someone I wouldn't regret as my first kiss." I interrupted with a warm smile. He looked at me surprised asking me unbelieved. "You haven't ever kissed anyone?" I shook my head in embarrassment. "Damn Amber, you have been busy." He laughed. I giggled as he began walking me back with me seeing everyone out front talking and stressed. Castia looked up at me and the hugest smile came upon her face as she ran to me with a hug. "You alright! I'm so sorry for not believing you, I feel terrible." She exclaimed. "I understand, it's alright no further apologies." Heather and Oliver looked at me with devilish grins which confused me. "What's with the faces?" I questioned with my arms crossed. "One your lipstick is messed up and somehow Bryan here has some right on his lips..." Oliver chuckled. My eyes went wide as I noticed Blake not in the brightest mood. "We're having a little chat after miss Amber." Blake ordered highlighting the word Miss. "Two Heather got a small job, she's starting tomorrow!" Violet chirped. "Heck yeah, plus it's this place with what do ya call them... of yeah tacos and I get them for free whenever I'm hungry!" Heather cheered. Everyone let out laughter, something that I wished happened more often in my life. With everything going on in never even thought of a word close to laughter but at least it's found its place again. I saw Violet looking at Bryan with a frightened look, what was that all about? Did she knows something I didn't? I cleared my throat getting her attention as she snapped out of her gaze and went silent looking at the ground. Castia went to her as she put a hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright Violet?" Castia asked softly with he eyes showing concern. Violet stayed silent with out letting out any movements. Blake then came to her confused. "Violet what's going on?" He questioned. Violet fell to the ground with a scream as everyone brought her up as quickly as they could. "Violet, can you hear me?!" Heather questioned. Violet only screamed as if she was stabbed. I began seeing her eyes fading into grey as well as her hair with her skin going pale, and her wolf ears and tail coming back. I didn't understand anything that was going on, or why. "N-Need... sis..." was what came out of Violet finally. "Your sister?! Where?! Why?!" Blake demanded as he breathed at a fast paste. Violet did answer but closed her eyes where everyone fell in silence. Great once you fix one problem, another one comes creeping in...
