Broken

Chapter 7

Aurora’s POV

“I said no!” someone screamed and I jumped up in my bed.

What the…

My bedroom door burst open and Rhys ran inside. He didn’t even look at me. He ran straight to my closet and opened it.

My eyes widened when I saw Sebastian running in behind him.

“I said no, Rhys!” Sebastian screamed as he grabbed the duffle bag from Rhys’ hands and threw it on the ground.

I was staring at them with my mouth hanging open. What the hell were they doing? What the hell was going on?

Was I dreaming?

“Fuck off, Sebastian!” Rhys screamed back as he started throwing my clothes on the ground next to the bag. “You won’t stop me!”

What the hell was he doing?! What the hell happened?!

“The fuck I won’t!” Sebastian shouted, grabbing one of my hoodies from Rhys.

I rubbed my eyes, trying to make sense of what I just saw.

“I swear to God, Sebastian…,” Rhys shouted, but I interrupted him.

“What the hell is going on?” I asked as I finally stood up. “What are you doing?”

Sebastian looked at me and the pain I saw in his eyes almost made me scream. I wanted to run to him and comfort him, but I didn’t know how he would react. He probably didn’t want me to comfort him.

“You will be staying with me for a while,” Rhys said, making me look at him. “It’s not safe for you here.”

My eyes widened.

Sebastian looked back at him and grabbed another hoodie from Rhys.

“She is not going anywhere!” Sebastian screamed. “This is her home!”

My heart was running a mile a minute. What did Rhys mean when he said it wasn’t safe for me? Did he find out about Amelia? But how? I didn’t tell anyone. I lied to him and Mia. No one knew. How did he find out?

Did Amelia tell Sebastian? But why would Sebastian tell Rhys?

Maybe he didn’t know about her. Maybe he was talking about something else. But why would I be in danger in my own home?

Rhys and Sebastian continued fighting. Rhys kept pulling my clothes out of my closet and Sebastian kept taking everything from him. My closet was already half-empty and my room was a mess.

I didn’t care about it, though. I was worried.

“Why am I in danger?” I asked, making them both look at me.

Rhys tightened his jaw.

“Not now, Aurora,” he said angrily. “Just grab whatever you need. We are leaving.”

“Over my fucking dead body!” Sebastian screamed, clenching his fists. “You are not taking her anywhere. She is safe here. This is her home.”

Rhys took a step closer to Sebastian.

“Don’t fuck with me,” he said angrily. “I told you that I won’t let you hurt her. She is coming with me and that’s final.”

My eyes widened even more. What was Rhys talking about? Sebastian would never hurt me, right? He was angry and he didn’t care about me anymore, but he would never hurt me.

Right?

“What are you talking about, Rhys?” I asked, my voice breaking. “Why am I in danger?”
