My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 4

    I am still mad about what happened yesterday. I am so hungry, noone warned me that happens when you just sleep after crying without having supper. I make my way down the stairs to find everyone sitting at the table. How late did I wake up?

"Hey honey, what happened to you?" My mum laughs as she comes to hug me. This shields the boys from my view. I know how terrible I look with hair everywhere and a stained face.
I simply make a sad face, mum likes babying me so much so I use that to my advantage. She is easily fooled. Mum hugs me once again and gently rocks me. As soon as she releases me she tells me to take a seat that's when the boys see me. I take a seat on the far end of the table.

"Oh God!" Liam gasps. I glare at him and he raises his hands in the air. Colton steals a glance and I can tell he is trying to suppress a laugh.

Noah looks at me like I have lost my mind. "Muffin, you okay?" Concern is evident in his voice but I'm still just pissed. They promised not to torture anyone after they beat up Asher , Keith and Sam. I just ignore him, I don't even look up.

"Ash, come on" Noah tries again.
"Zip it Saunders!!" I shout at him. I don't look at him at all but I know that its not over. Noah doesn't give up at all. I like that about him but not at the moment.

There is silence, I start chanting in my head, don't you dare do it Noah. The chanting stops when a chair is pulled out. Stupid Noah I groan in my head. He is half way to my chair, it takes one extreme and painful glare from me, Noah comes to a complete halt wide eyed. I don't stop glaring at him, he simply backs away slowly until he gets back in his seat. I keep on looking at him, he remains so still like he is afraid any movement will turn me into a wolf and I will pounce on him.

I look away and start eating my food. I don't look at anyone at all. My smart ass brother decides to ruin the peace in the room by speaking.
"Are you on your period or something? "I look up in an instant and see his curious gaze. I am done with this jerk. I flung a fork towards his unexpecting figure. He is too stunned to respond, I don't even wait to see if it hit him. I flung my knife again at him. He blocks his face but the "ouch" that comes later is enough to satisfy me. I hadn't even eaten much.

I leave the table abruptly, the dash to my room. Mum is nowhere to be found and I guess so is Dad. I take a bath slowly and pack a few clothes. I text mum that I'm going for a sleep over. I make my way towards the door and see the boys in the sitting room. They look at me but no one dares say anything. I slam the door and make my way to my best friend's house.

Its only a block away, I don't have to turn around to know that the boys are peeking through the window. Few minutes of walking I see Cassie's house. I quicken my pace, as soon as I get at the door I open it without even knocking.
