Falling For My Exchange Brother | BOOK 1,2,3

25. Bastille

I stared at a tear streaked face Nathan, Dylan giving me dirty looks and practically everyone pissed at me. But too scared to say anything, they just glare.

This has to be a nightmare...I wish it was a nightmare. I don't...I do deserve this. But not to this extent.

It was way worse yesterday...I don't think I ever cried as much as I did yesterday...

****yesterday****

I look at my mom, seeing her red faced and my dad shouting cuss words at me. An ice pack on my lip and cheek as Arthur punched the shut out of my face. Not to mention I woke up with these two giving me death glares.

I'm not surprised that Arthur isn't in here, he heard me say something I didn't mean. Because of that I was fucking punched the shit out of my face!

My parents aren't asking me if I'm okay or anything, just yelling and annoying the shit out of me. My ears are on fire and I just want to see Arthur and explain.

Considering we ended things on a spur note then he hears me say those lies... It looks so bad...

"Where's Arthur?" I asked, the room going quiet as my mom started wiping her eyes." I'm going to apologize. He heard a misunderstanding, I was trying to protect the both of us."

My dad stands, shaking his head as he just began to walk out of my room.

"Arthur is no longer here, he asked us yesterday if we could get him on a quick-trip jet back to France. He's no longer here William, he's gone, because of you and your actions..." He sneered, making me freeze and stop exactly what I was doing. Stopped blinking, stopped moving, stopped breathing...

I didn't understand.

He knows me. He knows how I am. Yet he just...left and didn't think to tell me or try to talk...?

I get it! He saw something horrible and that's the third time that I've hurt him...is it?

Yesterday was shitty.

Because I kept asking questions he get angry. I wanted to know who else was in his heart. I wanted to be the only one, truly...why though's the question. Yet I annoyed him and he said things that were exactly the truth and I punched him.

If I never ran and stayed in listen instead of being immature... He would still be here.

If I went to the mall and just didn't say anything to the Juniors and lie to protect my popularity... He would still fucking be here!

I had a choice I could've made to avoid this for both scenarios and twice...I chose the wrong fucking choice...

He knows that I was so used to bike being here and didn't like being alone, yet he left...

"William!" I look at my mom, seeing her panicked as she reached towards my face. But I swatted it away, standing as I rush to see if it's true.

Shoving my dad out the way I go to his room, opening the door as I look. Seeing an empty room as if no one was ever here.

My heartbeat increases and I chuckle as if this was a joke. Where could he have hidden if this was a joke?

It isn't.

I wipe my face, feeling tears going down my cheeks as I try to make them disappear with my hand. But they still fall and my lips tremble as I look at the empty room.

Scared at the quiet and scared at being alone.

He promised...so did I...

I want to kiss again like before, want him to hold me and listen to my explanation. Want him to be slightly upset but still love me.
