Territorial

Chapter Thirteen // I wasn't talking about him

Song: Beautiful Crime by TAMER

Lyra's POV

I stormed back to the house, blinking away the tears. I wasn't crying over him. I was crying over the fact that I was never enough for everyone. No one truly loved me. My college boyfriend left me and the next day started going out with my best friend. Sam used me for sex and then cheated on me with a gorgeous blonde girl. Seb admitted he basically hates me and now Ross was cheating on me and thinking about it, he probably had been cheating on me for a while.

I got to the door, fumbling with my keys an heard Ross call me and that girl he was with calling after him. I finally opened the door and hastily slammed the door behind me. As I proceeded to my room I noticed Tobi and Seb having a serious conversation in the living room. They both looked at me with bewildered expressions as I stood frozen.

"Lyra you okay?" I forgot how blotchy and red my eyes and face must have looked right now as Tobi came round towards me.

"I'm fine, i'm fine," I waved him off and tried to hide my face looking down. Suddenly, the door burst open with a scrambling Ross bounding through the door. I noticed he had tried to clean himself up a bit but his clothes were still stained and wet.

"Jesus Ross u smell like shit," Seb chirped in, typing away on his phone, not giving a damn about my state right now. What was I fucking expecting? He's probably happy with how upset i'm looking. Ross completely ignored Seb, not even sparing him a glance and came towards me. Everything was pissing me off right now so I took it out on him. As he got closer and started to speak, I swung the back of my palm against his face making him tumble backwards. Both Tobi and Sebastian looked as if they'd seen a bloody vampire as Sebastian's phone fell from his hand. As I looked around the room, I realised Kya and Jayden had entered the living room. Kya looked at me with worried eyes as Jayden didn't dare look up. No way.

"You knew?" Jayden slowly lifts his head and a sorrowful look laces his face. He mutters out a sorry and Kya looks at him in confusion. This was probably why Jayden had been acting funny with me.

"Ethan told me at the bar a week ago," he stutters out, dropping his head again. Ethan knew aswell? I truly thought he would make a really good friend. This morning he acted so friendly and genuine towards me when in reality he was probably distracting me as Ross was busy with his bitch this morning. I looked back to Ross who looked furious now. No trace of sympathy or guilt. Pure rage.

"What the fuck did you expect me to do Lyra? I've fucking got needs you know. After all I did for you and you can't just spread your legs for one fucking moment. And the one time I try and claim what I deserve you act like a little bitch resisting and pushing me away and then you kick me in the fucking balls!!!" Before I could take in everything he said, a fist collided with Ross' red raging face and he plummeted to the ground. I look to who possessed the fist and saw Sebastian to my side. He went down to Ross and kept throwing his fists in every direction. I can't believe Ross said that in-front of everyone. My face heated up in embarrassment and the tears no longer stayed at bay. I felt myself be pulled away by someone away from the thrashing scene in front of me. Before I rounded the corner, the last thing I saw was Tobi and Jayden hauling Sebastian off of a weak Ross.

I presumed someone was dragging me to my room but everything was a blur. As soon as I heard a door shut, two small arms engulfed me and I buried my head in the shoulder, letting all the tears fall. I recognise Kya's voice trying to calm me down and comfort me.

"I'm so sorry Lyra, I had no idea, I'm going to kill Jayd-" I sniffled and looked back up to her, trying to support a smile.

"No kya its not yours or his faults. I'm used to this shit anyway," I looked down and I felt Kya's hands on my shoulders making me look back up to her.
