Thorn

Confidence

Whisper

"You're gonna make an awesome addition to our family" Alice says.

"Thank you! I'm glad to be here!" I chirp and turn to my side to see Addison on her phone... completely toned out. "Is she okay?" I ask.

Alice nods. "Yea... I believe she has a crush on my twin brother... and with you... y'know, talking to him, I think it's making her jealous"

I chuckle. "I would never like Thorn like that! He's not... my type"

"Because he's a dangerous killer?" she asks.

"Yea" I look down.

She shrugs. "Reasonable. You're the only one of all the girls. Girls always wanna get in his pants" she rolls her eyes. "And take his sweet virginity"

I nod. "Yea he told me"

"You're different!" she ruffles my hair and i smile. "I wish my brother liked you romantically! You'd be an awesome sister in law!" she laughs. I look at her in confusion. "Well I gotta get to football practice, bye Whisp!" she runs off.

I playfully roll my eyes and look at Addison. "Hey Addison? Are you okay?"

She looks at me and nods. "Yea sorry, just reading"

"Are you sure? You seem... upset" I say.

"I'm fine, Whisper!" she snaps and I flinch.

"Okay" I back up and bump into a wall, only to turn around and see Thorn glaring at Addison.

"Keel it up Addy. I don't have time for your shit!" he shouts and Addison jolts up. "LEAVE!"

She runs off and I turn to him. "Why are you-"

"I DONT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR SHIT EITHER! YOU LEAVE TOO!" he points towards the door and I frown, walking my way out.

The fuck got into him?

I think he's genuinely bipolar.

"Yo W.M! What up?" Ethan puts his hand up and I high five him.

"That was cold" Dallas laughs. "T.A. get to ya?"

I look at him in confusion. "T.A?" I ask.

They laugh. "Thorn Archer" Ethan says.

I make an O shape with my lips. "Oh yea, what's up with him?"

"We has a little fault in our gang fight" Dallas says.

"What happened?" I ask.

"A group of got loose during the bomb we let off. And the thing is, they're serial killers and now that they know Flynn Archer has a son, they're gonna go around and..." Ethan trails off.

"I-I'm not sure if I want you to finish that sentence or not" I gulp.

"Yea well he's just being salty" Dallas shrugs.

"That's not really nice" I frown.

"Whisper. I'm sure you know, we don't care. Being with Archers mean you loose your feelings. We. Have. None" Ethan says sternly. "So you better loose yours"

I sigh and hear Thorn punch the wall. "So you guys just avoid him when he's like that?"

They nod. "He has anger issues, Whisper. He's dangerous and crazy. Especially when he's crazy" Dallas says.
