XLVI

My face expression changes from anger to sadness but I quickly cover it up with a bitch face

Cameron notices my sudden change then does a double take at the person standing behind him

"What are you doing here?" I say loud and clear

"I came to see my sister" he answers walking closer to me

I back away as my heart rate increases when I see all the others walk into the room

"I'm kind of busy right now so I'm gonna have to ask you guys to leave, I'm sorry you wasted your time coming here" I quickly say before turning around and walking to the exit

I push the door open letting a sigh out

Wow I'm a bitch

Before I could get any further I feel someone grip my left wrist I immediately yank it out of their grip before turning around to see Hayes

"Why are you so mad?" He looks hurt

I sigh calming my nerves

"I'm not, I just thought you were Jack" I say calmly "Ok, but that doesn't explain why you left a year ago" he states

"I don't wanna talk about this Hayes" I try my best not to look into his eyes

"Why not! I want answers Layla! We all deserve one ya know" he pleads

"I needed my space from you guys alright? Y'all just kept suffocating me! Worrying about me twenty four seven especially Jack, I wasn't able to be myself because he had a damn problem with every little move I made! I get he was trying to be a good 'brother' but that doesn't mean he has to fucking act like my dad, then there's Cameron he kept rubbing it in my face that he was dating Perry or whatever the fuck her name is," I pause "And you, you just don't know when to stop fight with Cameron do you? I get that if he didn't 'steal' me from you that we'd probably be together and you'd treat me right but guess what Hayes? Things happen for a reason, I love that you care about me and show it but stop reflecting things on 'ifs' " I finish off

I see Hayes clench his jaw as I notice he was holding the door open and the rest of the boys were standing there listening to what I just said

"A good brother let's you have fun and makes you feel better when a guy breaks your heart or is just there for you in general and doesn't get you in trouble for staying out past ten pm or any little reason as if he were your father" I say more calmly as I make eye contact with Jack

"A good brother won't go behind your back and date the person you hate the most, a good brother will stick to what they say and actually protect you from bullshit instead of throwing it to your face, a good brother won't break their little sister's heart instead they make sure it's safe and in the right hands" I voice cracks as I say last part tears build up in my eyes

I take a deep breath, blinking my tears away before they escape my eyes

"So I'm sorry that I left for 'no reason' and not saying goodbye" I air quote no reason

"Layla" Jack says coming forward

Before he could get another word out the photographer calls me over

"Layla were ready for you" he says

Not waiting another minute I walk back into the building pushing past Cameron

I pull my phone out of my back pocket to check the time 3:45pm

Almost time to go home
