As promised, here is the 4th chapter :)

I ran up to him and with no hesitation I jumped and hugged him wrapping my legs around his waist. I missed him so much. You may not know him but let me explain.

Ryker was my only friend when I was living with my deadbeat of a mom. He had started talking to me when I was a freshman and he was a sophomore but I mostly ignored him because I know if I had gotten close to him that I would've told about the abuse. One day, I was sitting in the library and he came behind me and started tickling me while he was doing that my shirt lifted up and my bruises was exposed even though I covered them quickly. Now you all know that he saw it and I had to tell about the abuse against my will. I begged him on my knees not to tell anyone while crying until he gave in.

After a few months we had gotten close, he told me that his mom had got a promotion in another state and he had to leave. We were both heartbroken and made a promise that maybe on day we'll see each other again though I never saw him again until now.

I felt tears waiting to fall in my eyes. We were like that for about a minute or so. I jumped down from his waist.

"I missed you so much." He nodded quickly hugging me while looking in my eyes. I saw something flash in his eyes. Anger and fear. He let go of me and started looking around.

"Ok you ok? Did anything happen while I was gone? Where is the bitch?" He asked getting angrier. I knew what he was talking about. I looked around and saw that my brothers were looking at him confused. I grabbed his hand and dragged him into the corridor.

"She's dead and I had to come live here with my brothers that I know nothing about." I whispered. He took a sigh of relief and hugged me tightly. We walked back into the dining room after a few minutes.

"So are any of you going to tell how you know each other?" Liam asked with no emotion in his voice. I rolled my eyes discreetly. I looked at Ryker and he nodded.

"Well you guys all ready know that I came here last year during my sophomore year," they all nodded. "Before I came here, I used to go to Ana's school and we had become really close friends until my mom had to move away for her promotion and I had to leave." He said looking at them giving them a small sad smile.

"Ok. Thank you for telling us. I have more question. Who is the 'bitch'." He said using his fingers to quote the word bitch. I rolled my eyes. I could see Elijah glaring at me but I let it slide.

For now.

"A girl from old school who liked to follow me around being a total bitch to me." I said while Ryker had said something somewhat close at the same time.

"A bitch that lived in her area." He said. We looked at each other. I mentally cursed myself.

"So which one is it?" Elijah asks with a hit of anger and hate in his voice. I rolled my eyes at him only causing him to glare at me.

"Both." We said simultaneously. I took a sigh of relief. Liam nodded.

I got bored standing there so I nudged his shoulder. He looked at me. "First one to my room and back gets to eat my roast dinner. There's no rules. Deal?" He smirked nodded. I counted to three and we started running. I jumped onto his back and messed his hair up causing to slow down. I quickly jumped of him and started running towards the stairs. The pain in my ribs started to come through but I ignored it. I looked behind me and didn't see Ryker anywhere but kept on running. Once I got to my room, I saw Ryker inside it hands on his knees breathing heavily.

"Wha- HOW?" I said breathless.

"Elevator." He said smirking and started running down the stairs with me trailing after him. I jumped on his back again in the second to last step catching him of guard. I smirked jumping off pushing him forwards. He fell on his knees. I stopped and started laughing before running. He got up and started running after me. He grabbed my waist throwing me back, my butt hitting the marble floor. I groaned but ran after him and pushed him into the dining the same time as me because sis here still wanted food. He still won though.

"I totally won that." He said breathing heavily.

"No I won that. My butt hurts because of you." I said rubbing my butt.

"Tough luck. I'm still eating your dinner." He said and I groaned as he went to go eat it. Why am I regretting this already?

Elijah's Pov:

I can't believe that she is actually back. She was gone for 14 years. More than a decade. I couldn't really believe it, I was just happy that she was with Ryker and she didn't really remember us because then that would've cause a lot more pain leaving. It looked like she lived a good life while we were gone.

But then why do I feel as if that weren't true? And why do I feel like that are lying about the "bitch"?

Thanks for reading 💕.
