FOREVER YOURS

Chapter 25

Angela's pov
---------------

Groaning as I stretch my arms, I slowly flutter my eyes open. I swiftly turn onto my side, wanting to go back to sleep for at least another hour or so. But before I could peacefully fall back asleep, my cellphone rings.

I groan again and retrieve my phone from the nightstand before answering.

"Hello?" I answer while yawning.

"Sweet pea, it's Theo." My brother says and I immediately shoot up. Pain shoots through my head but I ignore it.

"Theo!" I breathe out. "I've been trying to call you guys but none of you answered your phones." I say with a frown.

"I'm sorry. Something came up and everyone was quiet busy. I saw your calls just now and immediately called you." He says.

"Is everything okay? What was so important that kept you guys so busy?"

"You don't have to worry about that, sweet pea. We'll sort if out." He says and my frown deepened.

"So you're just going to continue hinding things from me? I want to know what's going on, Theo. I have the right to know." I say more sternly.

They keep doing this. Hiding things from me. Keeping secrets and treating me like a glass doll. I don't want to be treated that way. I want be useful and help my family whenever they need it.

Is that to much to ask for?

"Angela." He sighs. "It's complicated at the moment, okay? You know how father feels about you being involved."

"I know, but can't you just tell-" I was cut off by someone calling for Theo.

"I have to go. I'll tell father to call you later." He rushes out.

"Wait." I say quickly. "Theo, please tell me. Please."

He sighs again. "I have to go, Angela. I'll talk to you later."

I don't respond and wait for him to hang up. But he doesn't.

"Fine. I'll tell you. But I can't promise that I'll tell you everything, okay?"

I smile and nod my head. "Okay."

"Am I still your favorite brother?" He asks and I know he's smiling right now.

"Who said I had a favorite brother?" I smirk.

"You did." He says smugly.

I scoff at this. "When?"

"When you were about five years old. You would always whisper in my ear and tell me how I was your favorite brother out of the three of us." He says with a small laugh.

"I don't remember doing that..." I say softly with a frown.

Theo's laugh eased before he clears his throat. "I'm sorry, I forgot yo-"

I take a deep breath before releasing it. "It's okay." I smile softly, even though he can't see me. "And you are my favorite brother. Just don't tell Mason and Angelo though." I whisper the last part.

He laughs softly. "Our little secret." He says and I hear them calling for him again. "I really have to go now, sweet pea."

"It's okay. We'll talk later." I say. "I love you."

"I love you more." He says before ending the call.

I sigh before throwing my legs out of bed and standing up. Pain immediately shoots through my head again and I slowly sit back down. This stupid headache.
