Thirteen - Caught

"I woke the same. As any other day except a voice was in my head. It said, "Seize the day. Pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads" The day I tried to live"

Ruby's POV

"What the fuck!"

There standing, was Peter of all fucking people. He had the most disgusted and angered look on his face. My head snaps away from him and towards what was directly in front of me. Harry's shorts were tugged so far down I could see hair poking out of the top. "Oh my god." I whisper. This literally cannot be happening right now. I looked up to see how Harry was reacting only to notice he was staring past my face and down towards the ground beneath me.

"Oh my fucking god." I speak louder this time. I still don't have my fucking bathing suit bottoms on. I know from this angle Peter can't see the bottom half of me through the rock formation he had came in behind, but just the thought of him knowing I didn't have anything on made me want to throw up and die. I scrambled to get my bottoms pulled back up. As I slide them back up onto my body I could feel the wetness of the rock cause my foot to slide, I was trying to be quick about it. Before I knew it I was very much un-gracefully falling back into the water below us. The only lucky part to this was that I had gotten my fingers looped around the strings and kept my bottoms from flying off while I went under the water.

I came back up quickly, gasping and taking in a deep breath as I didn't get to prepare to go under water. I looked up at the rocks above me and before I knew it Peter was already standing where I had been kneeling in front of Harry. He was hovering behind him as Harry was bent down looking into the water. When I came up he looked over my face almost as if to make sure I was okay. I could tell Peter was using all of his self control not to drown him right then and there.

"What the fuck! Tell me you were not gonna do what I think you were about to do!" I heard Peter scream, his face was turning red. I couldn't even speak before I felt his sharp grip hold onto my forearm and yank me up out of the water.

As soon as I was out of the water he abrupt let go of my arm and I fell to the ground below them.

"What the fuck is wrong with you! Don't touch her like that," Harry spoke as he rushed over to me. He bent down beside me and held onto my arm protectively, almost like he was trying to shield me.

"She's my sister, I'll do whatever I want with her. She's lucky I don't fucking kill her right here." He said glaring over at me. "This has gone way too far!" The look in his eyes made me realize what was about to happen. Peter and I have always been close and between the rest of our fucked family, I like to think that him and I are the most even tempered. With that being said... We definitely both have our moments of weakness. Peter, along with my fathers, first instinct is usually violence. Me on the other hand, I just cry alone in my room.

"Peter don't!" I instinctively put my hand up, guarding Harry from anything that might come his way. "Look at me, listen. We were just hanging out here. I don't know what you think you saw but nothing was happening. Also I don't know why you're even here!"

"You don't know why I'm here? Seriously I don't know where the fuck you inherited your stupidity from but it's not cutting it anymore. Did you even think to read the messages I sent or were you guys just walkin' around the woods like fucking Hansel and Gretel?" He yelled.

"Oh my god I thought you said you would be cool about this!" I didn't understand the sudden change of heart. At first when Peter pulled me aside all he did was talk about how he understood where I was coming from and how we'd cover for each other but clearly somethings changed.
