As much I didn't want to go back inside the house, Mitchel practically dragged me back with him. I was slightly embarrassed about the way I acted in front of the others but I think they would understand. Who would be calm if they saw a random girl in the your boyfriend's bed? I did feel bad for jumping to conclusions though. I should have trusted Mitchel more, especially since he's around girls as part of his job.
We walked back in the house and everyone was crowded in the living room. My eyes went to the random girl sitting in the chair across from the others. Her arms were folded and legs were crossed. She looked annoyed. There air in the room was tense and it was like everyone's eyes was on her. It was almost like she was being held captive.
"You have explaining to do." Christian said, looking at Mitchel.
He sat on on the end of the long couch, pulling me next to him. His face hardened but his eyes filled with worry. He did say that the guys didn't like her so maybe he was worried about that. I placed my hand on his hand that was resting on my hip and rubbed it, hopefully letting him know that it was okay. He let me see a soft smile and began to speak.
"Maybe Brie should tell you guys. It's not really my place." he said, making eye contact with her.
So her name is Brie.
"She won't tell us." Christian said, obviously frustrated.
"It's not like you asked nicely."
"I didn't think I needed to. You show up here and magically end up around Mitchel."
"Christian, that's enough." Mitchel spoke up.
Everyone's attention was now completely on Mitchel. It was apparent that something had happened between Christian and Brie in the past. I had never seen him upset before this and it was odd. He was usually so nice and sassy.
"Look Brie. I'm not going to keep this from them and I can't hide you anymore. Tell them or I will."
Her face for a moment was filled with shock but then faded and went back to emotionless. There was a few seconds of silence before Mitchel spoke up again, taking her silence as a confirmation. He began to explain why she was here. He mentioned everything that he has said to me except the fact that we haven't spoke in three days. The tension soon disappeared and went pretty much back to normal. I think everyone felt bad for her now since most the faces in the room were full of sadness.
"So what now?" Alex, out of all people finally spoke up.
I knew what she was referring to. Was she going to live with the boys or keep staying at a hotel?
"Who are you? I don't need your help." Brie snapped.
Alex looked taken back at her snappy comment. She was sitting on Clinton's leg and I could see his hand tighten around her thigh. I guess he found out about her slight anger problem. Alex was so nice and bubbly until you pissed her off.
"It doesn't look like you're welcomed here given that more than half the people in this room were giving you a nasty look thirty minutes ago. Don't test me." Alex snapped.
She leaned against Clinton's chest, glaring at Brie. I scratched my head at the awkwardness in the room. No one wanted to speak up. No one knew how to address the situation. I did not want to kick a pregnant person out on the street or leave her alone. If I was in her position, I wouldn't want to be left alone. I leaned my weight off Mitchel and stood between his legs.
"Can we talk?" I asked him quietly.
He nodded and we walked up to his room. I shut the door behind him as he sat on the bed. He put his head in his hands and groaned.
