CHAPTER FIVE | SOCIETY IS GETTING CRUELER

♛♡♛

I limped over to the door, turning around, I watched at the guys rode away. Opening the door, I entered the house, looking around if anyone was around. Not really surprised no one was here, I went upstairs and knocked on Cayden's door. A faint 'come in' was heard through the door, as I walked inside. Cayden was on his bed, scrolling through his phone. I slouched, seeing visible bruises on his face. He looked over at me, his eyes widening.

"What the hell?" He exclaimed, jumping out of bed. Coming over, he picked me up, too fast for me to realize. I squealed, as he ran downstairs. "I was looking everywhere for you! I can't believe Logan beat you up again, what problem does he have with us?" 

He put me down on the chair, running to the fridge he got me an icepack. He put one on my forehead, as I looked down. "You know why, Cayden. The twins..." 

He blinked, before letting out a frustrated sigh, "I'm still wondering what they did to Logan that was so bad. Not only that, but why does he have to target us? He's literally being a baby about it." 

I agreed. The twins were supposed to come back today, and I need to ask them about Logan. I don't care if they don't want to talk about it, I'm going to make them. I already have it planned out, they're coming around when we have dinner, and that's when I'm going to bring up the topic. 

I was about to agree with him, when suddenly, Theo came in through the door. He slipped off his jacket, looking directly at us, he stopped mid-way. He studied both Cayden and I's face, before coming over. "What happened to you?" He asked Cayden, ignoring me completely. 

"Go away Theo, no one wants you here. If you want to ask me what happened, ask both of us," Cayden snaps at his older brother. Theo was taken aback, stepping away, he rolled his eyes. 

Cayden has fully started to neglect all of his brothers. Anytime they would ask, 'what happened?' or, 'are you okay?' He'd simply snap at them, or ignore them. 

"Let's go, Norah," Cayden said, standing up. He picked me up once again, making sure to let my feet hit Theo in the face. Theo groaned, making both of us snicker quietly.

"How was your guy's flight?" West asked the twins. They both shrugged in unison. I wasn't in the mood to eat or even talk. I'm the one who got them their stupid plane tickets, and they pay me back by treating me like I'm worthless? 

"I wonder who got your tickets in the first place," I muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear. The twins glanced at me, catching me glaring at them, before looking down. "Come to think of it, I wonder who saved you both from the other gang." 

The room fell into silence. "That person has done so much, and this is how they're paid back?" I scoffed, anger boiling inside me, "Society is getting cruel faster than I thought."

I made it really awkward. Cayden gave me a sad look. He turned to the twins, "Who's Logan Rivers?" He asked straightforwardly. 

Both of them started chocking, "W-what? How do you know him?" Emmet asked, panic-laced in his voice. 

"Where the hell do you think we get these dumb bruises from?" He asked, his fists unconsciously clenching. Everyone looked at us before I nudged him.

"You have makeup on," I told him, laughing a little. 

We made eye contact before we both started rubbing off our foundation. Every day, after school, we both quickly put on foundation to hide our bruises. What's the point in telling them about the bullying when they wouldn't even care?
