"What the fuck?" the anger showed in Nick's eyes as he watched Noah and I step apart. "What the actual fuck is going on here? Both of you, get the fuck upstairs right now!" he yelled going up the stairs.

Heart racing, I looked at Noah as his face paled, but we both obeyed and followed my brother up the stairs both of us silent as we followed Nick into the living room—Nicholas, Jolly and Jamie all sat on the couch, confusion apparent on their faces as to why my brother was in a rage. "What's happening?" Nicholas asked, looking up from his phone.

Noah took a seat in between Jamie and Nicholas, my brother glaring at him—if looks could kill, we would both be dead right now. "Why the fuck were you kissing my little sister?" Nick glared his anger at Noah as he watched his tallest friend sink down as if he was a kid.

"Nick, stop" I tried saying.

"No, tell me or so help me god Noah I swear to god I will walk out and take her with me" Nick's anger sent chills down my spine. I've never seen him this angry and this was the reaction I was most afraid of.

My eyes looked at Noah, he seemed genuinely stuck on what to say—his mouth opened but he couldn't form any words which clearly angered my brother more. "Don't blame him, it was me who kissed him" which was a lie—sure I kissed him lots but tonight and the first kiss was mainly Noah making that move, the timing just wasn't right.

"Is this the first time?" his anger now turned on me, Noah looked as if he was about to step in when I shook my head for him to stay sitting down. "Faith!" Nick yelled earning a flinch from me.

Gulping I let out a deep breath holding myself together. "No, we kissed before—we've been seeing one another for about two months now almost three" I admitted feeling the tension in the room building. "The first time we kissed was at the Halloween party, well your not-Halloween party" I admitted.

"Nick, calm down it isn't that big of a deal—they're happy" Jamie said softly leaning forward trying to calm him down in any way she could.

Only his eyes widened as he looked at his girlfriend, her look when she noticed his anger I watched as her expression flatlined, and she straightened ready for the blow. "You knew? You fucking knew?" he barked at her. Eyes looking at Jolly and Nicholas, they watched his rage, "did you two know as well?"

"No, I didn't know" said Jolly which Nicholas was instantly repeating, and they were telling the truth.

"So let me get this right, you have been dating my little sister behind my back, you the woman I love have been lying to me and hiding it from me as well and you, my little sister have been lying to me and seeing my best-friend" I cringed at the way he said the last sentence. "Out of everyone in this fucking world, you pick my best friend you really have a habit of fucking things up for me, don't you?"

My mouth hung open as the weight of his words settled on me. "Fucking things up for you? I was your little sister, I cheered you on and supported you through everything you did—including now when I moved in with you" I pointed out to him. "I didn't mean to catch feelings for Noah, I didn't think the crush would still be there all these years—I thought it was a teenage crush, I didn't think it was still there until I moved back in, and you know what, I admitted it to him while I was fucking drunk, and you know what we did? We avoided one another for as long as we could, you know what happened? We kissed, and we went on a date, and Nick I am happy can't that count for something?" tonight's happiness was completely gone, any high I felt from tonight was drained and now here I stood fighting with my brother instead.

"No because this—whatever you two have ends tonight, do you hear me?" his voice sent a chill down my spine.

"Nick!" I cried out feeling my eyes well up.

"No! God I wish you still loved your ex, then we wouldn't be in this mess" in the corner of my eye I watched as Jamie covered her mouth, Noah sat back as the silence in the room settled on us. "He was at least better for you."

Straightening myself, Nick watched as his brows furrowed together a bit. "You think he was better for me?"

"Yeah. . ."

"So he was better when he beat me, when he cut me off from my family—from you" his brows knitted together. "Or how about when he shoved me down the stairs in mine and his place all because he assumed I was pregnant, which by the way I wasn't. Okay, or how about when he hit me if I so much as did something he didn't like when we were out?" I yelled earning silence from everyone in the room. "He would do drugs, he would drink until the sun came up and when he drank whiskey he got mean, when he drank scotch though? His clothes came off and mine ended in the trash because they would be so torn from him forcing himself on me and having his way" Nick's silence grew the tension, but I wasn't done, it was all coming out.
"You know where I lived for three months until I moved in? A fucking motel where the girl at the desk helped hide me when she saw the state I was in when I walked in that night, it took three fucking months for me to fully heal or at least heal enough before I called you and asked to live with you—three fucking months Nick" Jamie had silent tears coming down her face as Noah's expression was soft.
"You want me to go back to a relationship that I nearly never made it out of then so fucking be it" I snapped as tears streamed down my face.

Nick's eyes softened but the damage was done. My sobs broke the silence of the room as everyone was now aware of what life I had dealt with for the last four years. Not caring I went to the front door sliding my shoes on from tonight as I grabbed my keys. "Faith, Faith where are you going?" Nick yelled out to me as I swung the front door open running down to my car in the pouring rain.

Locking my car door before he could get to my car, I watched as Noah came jogging out not long after him. My sobs echoed in the car as I started it and began pulling out of the driveway. "Faith, Fae, baby please stop!" Noah yelled as he jogged down the driveway.

Nick following him to the end before I turned off and headed away—I needed to be away, I needed to think. My brother knew everything now, this wasn't how I wanted to tell him, not about my ex and what happened or even about myself and Noah, I wanted tonight to be just as happy as it started.
My phone rang constantly beside me in the car as I looked at the name on the screen it took turns showing Jamie's name, Nicholas, Jolly and even Nick and Noah all of them calling repeatedly, which somehow broke me down more as I continued to cry.
Reaching slightly for my phone so I could toss it in the back, I was at a red light waiting for it to change. A crash of thunder jolted me up as I watched headlights from the side enter my field of vision, hearing a earth shattering crash I felt my body being rolled as I let out a scream—only when I was done screaming, the world around me turned to darkness.
