~Everly's POV

The next morning I stayed in my room all day. I know it sounds dramatic, but I didn't feel like being around Darren. Jess was awfully concerned about me. She brought me my breakfast in bed as I ate quietly. 

"Evers, what's the matter?" she asks me as I eat my cereal. I almost slam my spoon back in my bowl as she watches me nervously. "I told you once before, you would not believe me." I continue eating in silence, not wanting to answer any more questions. 

She just sighs and says, "It's because of my age, isn't it?"

I look up at her confusingly, "What?" "My age? It's inappropriate, isn't it? What happened?" she asks me, getting excited she was maybe getting something out of me. 

Getting the picture, I shake my head and say, "Hell, no." 

She just nods and asks, "Well, did something happen---?"

I couldn't take it anymore, "Jess, for the last time I'm not gonna tell you. It's private. Just because you bring me breakfast in bed and act all concerned, does not mean that I will suck up and pour my heart out, I appreciate the polite gestures, but you're mean to me and Chase all the time! So just stop!" I could see the hurtful expressions in her face and I immediately felt bad. I whispered it this time, "I just wanna go home. Just... stop." 

"Did something happen with Darren?" I look at her blankly and just continue to eat. 

"Why would you think that?" I whisper again. 

"He wasn't at breakfast this morning," she says. "He's just stayed in bed all day. He finally came down around 1-ish and just laid down on the couch. To be honest, his parents didn't seem that concerned about him. It's sad. It's like they knew something happened and they punished him or just really don't give a shit about him. Although, his mom did say that ever since he came back from his community college, he's acted different. That's all I know." 

I just sigh and say, "Well, okay. He at least came out of his room. That's a bigger accomplishment than me. I haven't been out of bed since 9:00 last night," I say honestly. What Darren did seriously scared the shit out of me and I was so scared to even set foot out of my room. 

We both just chuckle slightly and she suddenly says, "So I talked to him."

That scared me more, did he do something to her? Dramatic, but I love Jess to death. "You didn't?" 

She nodded and said, "Yeah, I did. He basically told me he was fine and to leave him alone. I tried being nice." I nod, knowing what she meant. "And then he said, go tell your big sister to...." She suddenly got tears in her eyes as I knelt down with my breakfast tray on the table near her. "What did he say?" I say to her closely. 

"He said for you to rot in hell and that our whole family should be..." she starts off but hugs me and whispers into my ear, "I wanna go home. Darren is mean."

"I wanna go home too, Jess. But, tell me, what did he say?" I pull her back and make her look at me , "Please, tell me, Jess," I ask her as I put a string of her blonde hair behind her ear, tears flowing down her face. "He said our whole family should be fucked and thrown into the woods to be eaten by the devil." She hugs me as I hold her tight. Surely he knew not to mess with Jess, she doted on him as soon as she saw him. She was just being nice, as I was. Why would he say things like that to her? Jess isn't used to this kind of language and got scared; she was trembling in my arms for God's sakes.
