Broken

Chapter 13 - rewritten

My school day went on to be annoying to say the least, consisting of many conversations with my brothers where they incessantly hinted for me to break up with Antonio. I don't know how many times I told them that we aren't dating. They are all either deaf or have selective hearing. Ace and Lucifer are the only two that haven't said anything, and Lucas has been up my arse all day following me and sitting next to me in all lessons. It is pissing me off the number of rumours in circulation as well, these kids are so childish. Every look and comment I see and hear makes me want to scream at them to grow the fuck up but I refrain myself knowing I will get into trouble.

Lucas and I are going to the pit tonight he told me how pissed off he was but I suspect he was more upset than anything. I don't understand why, it's making my mind run rampant.

When we got home Lucas and I were called to fancy pants office. The both of us sit in front of him as he sits on the tall black leather chair with his feet on top of the black modern desk. Compared to Aces office, Edward's is really modern.

"So, the reason you two dimwits are here. first, I want to check your hand which seems to be fine. have you been using it?" Edward looks at me expecting an answer.

"it's a little painful but it is fully functional and I have been using it all the time." I tell him honestly.

"Second reason, I want to know what the secret you both have between you is?" he moves his feet to the floor placing his hands together and leaning forward in his chair. Lucas looks at the me before looking at the floor, looks like I have to think of a lie. turning to face my other brother I clear my throat before lying through my teeth.

"He has been helping me, i wanted to use him to take my anger out on someone. so, he took me to a boxing ring, and we have been sparring together." Edward looks surprised and confused.

"Oh, um okay well have fun both of you and thankyou Lucas for helping your sister and I'm glad you're not going back to before. thankyou Lucia" I look at Lucas who is looking at the ground. what does Edward mean 'like before'? he fucking owes me. Standing up I go to walk out but I am stopped by Edward.

"Lucas leave i want to talk to your sister alone a second." huffing I turn and sit back in the seat.

"What?" I ask bored already.

"I know Lucas is being clingy and hasn't left you alone today, but you have to know. When our parents died, he was affected the most we all dealt in our own ways but we will always be worried about him. It's his story to tell so I won't tell you anymore. Just be patient wait for him to open up to you. You have no idea how different he has been since we got you back. The others and I are so proud of you both." Edward has tears in his eyes as he walks over to me, I stand up and he hugs me. Not sure what to do I just pat his back lightly as I hear some muffled sobs from my shoulder.

"Okay, big guy... I don't know what to do in this situation eddy.... which of the brothers is emotional apart from you?" I question awkwardly.

"I just want you, my sister the only girl in the house. Now you're my teddy bear." I just pat his back. I don't know how long we were in that position. Eventually, Ace came and called us for dinner relieving me of this duty. As much as I hate to admit it, having Edward come to me like that made me really feel like part of the family. Made me feel loved. Which is unusual to say the least.

After dinner I showered and got dressed into my Nike sport shorts and matching sports bra. Smoking a joint I sit on my window seat, and lean my head against the wall all I want to do is cry and I have no idea why. I am interrupted by my bedroom door opening, I don't react I just shut my eyes. Only opening my eyes after I hear Lucas's voice.
