Worst of Me

Chapter 11

SUMMER VEGA'S POV

The seven of us were in Skyler's tiny peasant cottage. I had already texted my parents saying Rose and I wouldn't be home until tomorrow.

"This house is so cramped." Donny whined.

"Want us to throw you out into the storm without help?" Fern asked.

"Maybe I do." Donny snapped, glaring at her. Before anyone could do anything, I got in between them.

"Stop with the bullshit. We're in a storm room for god's sake, it's not supposed to be a mansion." I said to Donny, then turned to Fern. "And we aren't going to tear each other's throats out in a storm."

"Fine.." Donny mumbled.

"And what do you have to say Fern?" I asked her.

"You want me to say what I'm thinking?" She asked.

"No I want you to say an apology." I answered.

"You'll have to kill me first." She said and turned, sitting on the ground, slightly away from Eury. It was clear Eury was still miffed with Fern.

"You are acting like such a toddler right now, you immature little brat." I said simply.

We heard a loud crack of thunder.

"Oh shit we're gonna die!" Fern exclaimed, immediately ducking down, it was apparent she was afraid.

"You're scared of thunder?" I scoffed.

"I am not scared!" Fern exclaimed, defensively, her cheeks turning red from embarrassment.

"You very obviously are," I said back.

"Oh my god, it's a common phobia." Eury said,clearly agitated with the two of them. "Don't do any of this kindergarten teasing scenario."

"You just don't want me to tease your girlfriend!" I answered.

"Or maybe I don't want to hear the 5th argument of today." She said, standing up. "I don't care if it's raining, I'm just going to go home. My actual home."

"How the hell are you gonna go home? Didn't your parents make you leave?" I asked.

"They offered a negotiation." She said, standing up.

"What the-are you gonna leave in this weather?!" Rose exclaimed.

"Yes." She said, about to go up the stairs,but Fern ran to her stopping her.

Fern had her hands tightly gripped onto Eury's shoulder and Eury's hands were around Fern's wrists and both were obviously arguing.

"Stop being so stubborn about this! I apologized, many times!" Fern exclaimed.

"I'll stop when you realize how sorry doesn't make up for what you did." Eury said. "Especially with my trust issues."

"You only got those because you were raised on a high-horse with all your privileges and prestige family!" Fern said, unintentionally going there.

Something inside Eury snapped and she slapped the other girl across the face. DAMN WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! "Do. Not. Go. There." She said, obviously upset.

Fern was speechless as she stared at Eury in disbelief. "Wh..d-did you just..hit me?" she asked, dumbfounded.

"I-I...fuck..." Eury mumbled, realizing what she had just done.
