Storms Ahead

|Chapter fifty five : Troubles in Spain|

"Fucking hell, I forgot how hot it is here" Oscar breathed after we had landed in the back garden of the villa we owned in Spain, the sun glaring down onto the back of our necks as I walked up to the house, pushing the front door open and walking in happily, the air cool as I instantly dived up the stairs and shut my bedroom door behind me, smiling at the glass doors that led out onto the balcony

"Amelia you prick! Why can't I get that room?!"

"Because one, I'm the oldest. And two, because this has always been my room!" I shouted out to Holly as I went to the bathroom and instantly changed into shorts and a vest with my swimsuit on underneath, leaving the room as I flicked the middle finger to her down the hall as I slid down the banister with a grin before sliding into the kitchen, pulling different things out of the fridge as I started making a smoothie

"Oh Ameliaaa"

"Hello Ali"

"Can I have some of that?"

"Maybe. Will you drink it?"

"Maybe. Does it have pomegranate in it-?"

"Of course-"

"Then no" he laughed as I looked at him with a grin, Nathan and Jayden walking into the kitchen with grins as I was winked at, smiling slightly while I let out a sigh

"Where are your tops?"

"They miraculously disappeared"

"But! Lucky for you, you get to see our abs-"

"Ali that is so fucking disturbing-"

"You also don't have abs- you're as flat as a pancake" Nathan scoffed as I started laughing, putting the blender on as I went and got three glasses out

"You're so full of yourself Nathan-"

"You're a hypocrite-"

"So are you! You couldn't show off abs to save your life!" Ali said to him loudly as the blender stopped and I switched it off, watching amused as Nathan stood up silently and walked over to him while I started pouring it into glasses before going over to Jayden and handing him one as I sat down next to him, an arm around my shoulders as we watched the two amused

"He just doesn't know when to shut up"

"He doesn't does he? Great smoothie by the way"

"Thank you, I do try my best" I told him with a grin as I watched Ali jab at Nathan's lower abdomen as he shoved him against the counter forcefully

"Nathan!"

"Hey! Fucking quit it you two!" Watching the two step apart they stared at each other with gritted teeth before Ali stormed out annoyed and I raised my eyebrows at Nathan

"What in the name of Merlins saggy backside was that all about?"

"Nothing. He's just being a child"

"He's not the only one by the looks of it-"

"You watch your tongue Jayden"

"Fucking hell you're scolding me like you're my mother-"

"Well sometimes you just need reminded of-"

"Will you two shut the fuck up?" I asked loudly as I stared between the two who stared back

"You're grown men who bicker like four year olds-"

"No, we're supposed to be grown men. There's a difference" Jayden told me quietly as I turned my head and stared at him as we stared at each other for a silent minute or two before a smile broke out and I started laughing. Looking at Nathan I shook my head as he stood with glass in hand as he nodded to it

"I'm taking this-"

"It's yours anyway. Well, if you'll excuse me-"

"Where are you going?"

"For a swim"

"Oh, okay, we'll probably come out and join in awhile or something if that's cool?"

"Cool with me" I told them before leaving through the back door, tugging my vest off over my head and dumping it onto one of the couches along with my shorts before diving in, someone coming in after me as I swam up, pushing my hair out of my face as I glanced around, finding Holly treading behind me as I let out a sigh, kicking off from the wall as I started to do lengths of the pool

"You know, when I got home and finally unpacked, mum came into my room"

"Okay?"

"She told me that she didn't want you to be in Slytherin" she said as I paused slightly, swimming back to where she was

"Okay"

"She said she doesn't know how to feel. I don't think she trusts you anymore-"

"What?" I asked ludicrously as I stopped at the wall, holding onto it as I stared at her while she shrugged slightly

"She didn't say it but I know she thinks it"

"And how's that?"

"Well.... we Gryffindors share a bond, you know? We understand each other, we trust each other. Slytherins on the other hand.... they're evil, we Gryffindors don't like you guys because we don't have a good enough reason to trust you. You haven't proven yourself worthy of trust yet. And I'm sorry, but, sister or not, I still have to have a good enough reason to trust you and know that you're not going to try and-" lunging at her with a shout of rage I clamped my hands around her neck as we sank under water as I saw red, my hands starting to turn white as she tried to push me off with wide eyes. Feeling myself get dragged up and out of the pool I tried to push Nathan off with a scream of rage as I tried to lunge at her from where she was sitting on the edge of the pool with Jayden in front of her as I tried to kick at him, eventually getting forced down onto one of the beds by the pool as I was held down

"Will you bloody calm down?!"

"No! I hate her! She doesn't fucking trust me!-"

"Well do you expect her to trust you if you try to fucking drown her?!" Nathan shouted at me as I stared up at him, lying there for a moment before raising my leg, kicking his chest as he stumbled back and I grabbed a towel before storming off
