Little One

Nothing More to Say

I was sitting in between the twins, while Atlas confidently sat between Quincy and Atti. He didn't feel his life in danger. Not the way that I did.

 He was just eating his food. I could have literally started crying. I didn't want this stupid dinner to happen. Not like this. But there was nothing I could do about it.

If I am being completely honest, I hate her brothers. All they do is make her feel like shit and worry about their selfish selves. I get that they are going to live a life that Serena may not be apart of, but if I had a little sister, I would want her to be apart of every aspect of my life.

I feel myself building in anger. When her brother asked me to stay for dinner, I wanted to punch his stupid face. He knew the fucking answer to that question. 

He knew what I wanted to say. Hell, he knew what she wanted to say. It's like Serena has no fucking say at all, ever. And it annoys the piss out of me.

I tried to have a calm facade. I didn't want to bother Serena more than she already was.

Let me make something clear. I was not scared of her brothers. I am not scared because I know I am not going to do anything to make them hurt me. I'm not going to hurt her. Not now and not ever.

I saw her glance up at me and my heart fucking screamed. She looks like she wants to cry and that hurts me. I cleared my throat and tried to make small talk with these dicks. "So how's the season going boys?" I asked, cheerfully.

I look up at Serena and she looks up with a little hope. That hope makes me fall so fucking hard for her. I smile a little at her small burst of joy. No one at the table noticed, except Auggie.

He chuckled a little and dove deeper into my question, knowing it would please her. Then, at that moment, Auggie became my favorite. I don't like him, but I like him more than the others.

I swear his twin hasn't said a word this whole time. It is actually kind of worrisome. If I was scared, it would be of him. He looks kind of guilty and sad. I don't know why.

 Auggie said, "If Quincy doesn't get his shit together, he will lose all of his scholarships!"

I laughed a little among everyone else at the table. Then Serena joined in, "Hey! He isn't doing that bad."

"Yeah right. Little one is just being nice! That last game sucked balls." Atticus agreed with Auggie.

Serena rolled her eyes and smiled. She started back eating her food. "Okay well did we win or lose?" Quincy asked, raising his eyebrows at his brothers. "Hm?"

"Win..." Auggie uttered out, rolling his eyes. Quincy smiled, pleased at his brothers defeat. Auggie just laughed it off while Atticus seemed to be more serious.

"Do you play any sports?" Quincy asked me. Serena looked up at me in intrigue and I decided that I would make her a tad bit more happy.

"Yeah. I used to box before I moved here." I shared with the table.
