Unpredictable (c.h.)

Chapter Nine

Two weeks: two weeks of break are over, two weeks of break remain, my mother is two weeks pregnant, nobody has spoken to Luke in two weeks. One week: one week ago my dad came back, one week ago I started cutting again. Lexi has had the bright idea of everyone coming over and sleeping at their house so that squad can re-bond. Also, the boys won't even gather for band practice anymore, there's a hole without Luke.

"We're here!" Shrieked Kennedy and Bella as they walked in.

"Great, go put your stuff in the living room." I said, Lexi was the host but she was making food at the moment.

Micheal was already here with Calum and Ashton. So there was only one person not here yet, Luke.

The next thing I know I heard the doorbell ring, guess who.

"Oh hi, I thought you weren't gonna come." I said stuttering.

Luke pulled me into a hug and started apologizing, what is with these boys and hugs recently? I told him it was ok and he gave me a good excuse to why he was upset, and he said he already apologized to mom and was excited to have a new sibling with me and Ashton.

Now that everyone was here, Lexi called everybody into the living room.

"Okay guys I have an agenda for tonight" she stated as we all groaned. She ignored our groans and continued, "The first thing is talking, we're going to talk out all our issues." 

She made Kennedy talk first, Kennedy just said she was lonely because we haven't hung out in a while. Next was Mikey, he was worried about the band because of recent events. After was Bella, she had no problems. After her was Luke, he apologized to me and Ashton, we might actually be siblings soon, which is weird but whatever. Then came Calum, he said he was worried about the band, and me. Quickly, everybody got confused and I knew that this was probably the right time, but I needed to tell just Ashton first.

"Um Ash can you join me in the kitchen please?" I said questioningly.

He looked confused but he nodded.

I led him into the kitchen and he looked at me expectantly.

"What's going on?" He said.

"I have to tell you b-but I-I C-can't" I said breaking out into sobs. I left a confused Ashton in the kitchen and ran up to the tree house. The next thing I know, I hear someone coming up.

"Go away whoever you are" I sobbed.

"Please" Calum asked.

That's confusing, he's Calum then nice then Calum then nice wtf.

"What" I demanded quietly.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I can't tell him, I feel so bad about it but I can't."

"You have too."

"I know."

"What if me and Lexi were there?"

"I guess, I know I don't want to, but it needs to happen now Calum."

"I know."

"Let's go inside and up to Lexi's room." He said softly.

"Okay."

He suddenly brushed my hair out off my face and our faces were close. Probably about 6 inches.

"Let's go" I said, pulling away awkwardly.

"Uh ya ya let's go" he rushed.

(in Lexi's room)

"Alright one, why did you rush out, two, why does Calum know why you rushed out, three, why are we alone with just them?" Ashton impatiently questioned.

"Ashton I need to tell you something that that already know, and I can't tell you alone because I'm not strong enough and you might flip out." I said, the last part quieter.

"I'm waiting" he said impatiently.

"The reason I hate dad is not just because he left mom. He a-b-bused m-me." I choked.

For a second nobody talked, it was just silence. And empty stares.

"W-what?" He asked boiling.

"He said he didn't want a girl."

"When did it start?" He asked looking away as if it was painful to think about.

"The first time I was alone with him, he started drinking and he just-" I couldn't speak anymore because of uncontrollable sobbing.

"Shh it's okay." He said, moving over to my spot on the floor to comfort me.

"There's more" I choked out.

"What?" He asked worriedly.

I showed him my wrist.

"Oh my god." He stuttered out. He instantly held it, "please, please, never ever do that again. He said in tears.

We just cried for a while together, Lexi and Calum joining us after they had explained to the people downstairs what had happened.

After that we decided to just head home and tell mom, we said our goodbyes and I guess they figured their stuff out that didn't involve us.

We told mom and she basically wanted to kill the man, she said we would figure out pressing charges and stuff later because I was obviously too upset right now.

After telling mom I decided to just go to bed. About ten minutes later I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." I said.

"Hey." Said Ashton.

"Hi"

"Why didn't you tell me Nai?" He said softly, clearly hurt.

"I didn't wanna ruin your hero."

"Anyone, and I mean anyone who hurts my sister, is not my hero. He said.

"Okay." I said, sobbing again, damn I was so emotional tonight.

He kissed my forehead and left. Well tonight had been interesting.
