Accept, Not Forget (SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter 11 - Buttons

It's been a few days since my accident in P.E., and it's now Friday. After we found Ezekiel in the kitchen, we convinced him to sit down on the sofa and call Evan before diving into the story. Fortunately, both of them had the day off, so they didn't have to miss work or anything.

At first, they were incredibly concerned. My oldest brother demanded that Evan, being a doctor, examined me himself, and only when he was sure there was nothing wrong with me did they relax. After that was done and over with, they called the school and demanded that they fired the responsible teacher.

To say that they were mad was an understatement. The only difference between the twins' fury and Alex's is that theirs isn't as noticeable. They appear collected, and their faces remain blank, but when you look deep into their eyes, they are burning brighter than the fires of hell with rage.

Fortunately, the school agreed that what coach Mayers did was out of line, especially being aware of my situation, and kicked her out as requested by my brothers as well as apologizing on her behalf.

In the middle of all of this, a very confused and frustrated River came in through the front door and made a b-line for Xander, demanding answers. With the argument going on at school, we ended up forgetting that he was still there. He then proceeded to tell us that when he noticed that the car was gone, he decided to walk. He complained a big deal about it as if a 15-minute walk would kill him.

Luca and Levi made up as well as all of my friends. Everything is like it was before, and that makes me extremely happy. But, for some reason, Roman and Griffin still seem semi-hostile towards each other. I wonder why that is?

"Luna! You're going to be late! Again!" Yelled Ez's voice from downstairs, snapping me out of my thoughts. As I run down the stairs in a hurry, my legs feel brand new, almost as if nothing happened on Monday.

I look down to see the spot where my triplets usually wait for me empty. I frown at this. Maybe they are waiting by the door? I think to myself as I make my way there, only to come back empty-handed, my frown deepening. Where are they?

"Guys, do you know where the L's are?" I yell at my oldest brothers. Evan pokes his head around the corner of the kitchen wall before walking out.

"You were running late, so they went ahead. Xander and Riv are also gone already, and there is no way you are walking alone to school, so hurry up and knock on the Morgan's door. Their car is still in the driveway, so I think they are also late." He says all in one breath, shooing out of the house. "Have a nice day!" He wishes as he pecks my forehead.

I huff in discontentment but take my bag anyway and make my way to the house next door. I walk up the front steps of the porch and make my way inside. It is like a second home to me, a safe haven if you wish. Each of my brothers and I have a key to get in whenever we please, knowing that we are always welcome. Eleonor and Jack gave them to us themselves.

"Morning, sweetheart! What are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?" Eleonor, my second mother, greets me with a smile. I look in the direction where her voice came from, only to see her snuggled on the couch, cuddling into some blankets with a mug of hot tea.
