The Styles Brothers

*28*

HARRY

"Oww" I yelped at the pain I felt when Gemma thumped the back of my head. I immediately rubbed it in order to soothe the pan. "What the fuck was that for?!" I yelled at her but not too loud since we were both at the lobby but still found a private place for us.

"What did you do to Mackenzie?" she asked with a stern look on her face.

"I-I didn't do anything" and soon felt Gemma squeezing my arms all of a sudden. She does this to a lot especially to us boys whenever she is pissed off at us. Well mainly she does this to me but still, it felt like her secret weapon.

"Ow ow ow that hurts" I complained as I squeezed my eyes shut, enduring the pain she was giving to me.

"I'll stop if you tell me the truth" she threatened me and soon I gave in.

"Okay okay I'll tell" she then stopped and removed her hand that was on my arm a few seconds ago. I rubbed my arm and noticed a red mark on it.

"What happened?" she asked again.

"Okay, me and Mackenzie were talking and had just a disagreement with each other. That's all" was all I could say.

"Not the way I see it" she butted in. "I saw her crying and leaving after you two talked and I bet it was your fault" she crossed her arms at me with a disappointed look on her face. I looked at her started to question her assumptions.

"Why is it when it comes to girls sorrows, I'm always the one to blame?" I asked her as I had a serious look on my face.

"Because I suspect that neither Harold or Marcel could make a girl cry other than you. Example: You remember Brittany?" she tried to recall my past 'girlfriends.'

"Yeah, what about her?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Whenever she cries, she takes the blame of being the victim in your relationship" she started it off "...and we wouldn't believe her since she was so nice and sweet to you, you just had to break up with her when she started to think of getting serious with what you had"

"Hey, it's not my fault she was falling for me. She didn't see it coming that I wasn't 'responding' to her actions" I don't get why she thinks it's my fault why she cried the whole year after I dumped her. I mean, I didn't she even know that I wasn't looking for a relationship?

"Exactly!" she yelled but not too loud because it might embarrass her that it will draw some attention towards us. I looked at her confused as to what she wanted to prove on. "You didn't know because you didn't care and why is that?"

I raised my eyebrow in confusion as I raised both of my shoulders up signaling to her an 'I don't know.'

"Ever since you've been crushing or hitting on girls, even before we moved, you've been giving them mixed signals then" she explained her 'point.'

"What do you mean mixed signals?"

"You've been bringing them to our home, introducing them to us even when you invite them for dinner, hanging out with them after school and going on dates with them" she started enumerating using hand gestures as she was listing down the things I do with girls. "And might I remind you, I clean your room and saw a used condom on your bedroom floor"

Shit. I thought they wouldn't even noticed that.

"Okay who are you to enter in my room just like that?" I questioned her actions for invading my privacy such as my room.

"I'm your big sister and it is my job to watch out on my baby brothers. And in your case, you had to be my first priority because when something goes wrong, you are always behind it and I step in to teach you a lesson on what is the right thing to do" damnit. I hate it when she's right. She then continued. "You still need someone to correct you even though you're not a kid anymore, someone has to watch over you"

I breathed in slowly and exhaling quickly. I tilt my head back as I focused my attention to the ceiling, thinking about what Gemma had told me just now. I guess I can't argue on her with that one.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry, okay?" I said annoyingly as I immediately noticed her coming towards me and felt her hugging me. She knows I hate it when I get all lovey dovey with any of my siblings since it's weird for me. "Okay okay, stop with the hugging" I told her as she removed herself from me after the hug.

"I hate when you had to do the 'big sister speech' on me" I rolled my eyes and heard her laughing at my comment. "Okay maybe you're right. Maybe I do need some help" I admitted since she knows that everything she says is right and we know that what I did was wrong.

"What really happened back there?" her voice was much softer than before since she asked me a few minutes ago with a serious tone but this time it was much more calm than before.

"After she left the table, she went over to get some desserts since you also had to ask her to get you some too" I started off and continued. "I had noticed that she was taking too long getting the desserts since I know that the table wasn't too far from ours. I glanced over and saw that..." I stopped talking and recalled the time that Mackenzie had some company.

"Saw what?" she asked.

"...she was talking to Danny" I continued. Her eyes were in shock as her mouth formed an o shape. "Yeah. So I went over to check up on her and heard that Danny offered to introduce her to his family since I think he knows that we came here with her" I still didn't like the fact that he had the nerve to even come up to her and and talk to her when all he wanted was something else.

"Wait- Danny wanted to introduce Mackenzie to the Richards?" Gemma asked for clarification.

"Yeah, that's what I heard. But before she said anything, I swooped in and told him that she isn't going anywhere with her while I'm around" I didn't exactly wanted her to be with him since he knows that me and him don't get along pretty well.

"Well what did Mackenzie say?" she asked.

"I sort of told him that I wouldn't allow Mackenzie to talk to him or even be near him since we had rivalries with each other...so she got mad at me after that" I noticed Gemma cringed at what I said and I noticed her reaction right away and felt confused as to why she wasn't agreeing with me and with what I said.

"What?" I asked her.

"Harry, you do realize you shouldn't have told him that in front of her" she told me.

"What? Why?"

"It will make the perception of other people that you're her boyfriend and you being possessive of her. I suggest you think before you act or say something. Because people might misinterpret you" I think the reason why I said that was me being overprotective of her. I mean, the guy's our enemy. I don't trust him ever since we go way back. She then continued. "...and I know you and Mackenzie are not together, am I right?"

I sighed and nodded sadly since she was right AGAIN.

"Well what am I gonna do? I mean, I just don't want anything bad happening to her when she's with him and she's so special to me you know" I tried to be strong but when I'm talking about Mackenzie, I felt as though I'm beginning to turn soft.

Gemma was smirking and immediately asked me the question I was prepared to answer. "Are you in love with Mackenzie?" I looked at her with sad eyes and breathed in before answering her.

"Well, she seemed so sweet to me during the first day, she cares about me even though I don't even notice it, she knows how to cheer me up when I'm having a bad day and-" Gemma then cut me off.

"So are you in love with her?" she smirked at me and can't believe I'm saying this but...

"Yeah, I think I do"
