"You didn't stop him," He said quietly under his breath.
"You didn't stop him," He said quietly under his breath.
Sebastian looked Darren's room over, "So Cooper, is he your only sibling?"
"I didn't have a choice. He gets violent when he's angry. And he gets angry when he's denied things like this." Her voice was quiet and scared. "It's not something you'd expect from a 15-year-old, is it?"
Sebastian looked Darren's room over, "So Cooper, is he your only sibling?"
Darren hesitated, why did he have to ask, "No, I have two brothers,"
"I didn't have a choice. He gets violent when he's angry. And he gets angry when he's denied things like this." Her voice was quiet and scared. "It's not something you'd expect from a 15-year-old, is it?"
"15," He scoffed, and sat up a little straighter.
"Strange, I know, but it's true." She sank back, wishing she could fade away into the couch.
"Strange, I know, but it's true." She sank back, wishing she could fade away into the couch.
"It's fine," He sighed, "I shouldn't have gotten so angry anyways,"
"You had a good reason. He didn't have to act the way he did."
"There's three of you?" He laughed. "Is the other one like Cooper?"
"You had a good reason. He didn't have to act the way he did."
"But he did and I over reacted,"
"There's three of you?" He laughed. "Is the other one like Cooper?"
Darren laughed, "No, my other brother is actually nice. He and I are close but don't tell anyone. He's my secret,"
"I don't think you overreacted." She glanced up at him, this being one of the many times she wished she could have both eyes.
Ryan leaned back and squeezed his eyes shut. "Well anyways I'm sorry. It wasn't just him that I told to leave and I would have felt horrible if you listened."
"There's three of you?" He laughed. "Is the other one like Cooper?"
Darren laughed, "No, my other brother is actually nice. He and I are close but don't tell anyone. He's my secret,"
Sebastian nodded, "Right. Secret,"
"I deserved it though. I chose without explaining why I did and you reacted the only way you knew to. But I refuse to walk out on the love of my life because of someone else." Her voice was down to a mere whisper.
Ryan nodded, his toes curling in his socks as he moved uncomfortably on the couch. "I love you,"
Darren looked back at Lillian who had fallen asleep. He sighed.
"I love you too." She chose not to comment on his physical discomfort. She didn't want to lay anything more onto the situation.
Ryan kissed her forehead, "I'll be right back," he pushed himself off the couch and walked upstairs to the bathroom.
She pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, staring off into space when her phone buzzed. It was Ryder.
'Belle'
'I'm sorry'
'I didn't know what I was thinking'
'Please, forgive me'
'I didn't mean to hurt you'
'I'm so so sorry'
She simply ignored him and curled up tighter, sobbing into her knees.
Ryan heard her sobbing but had already entered the bathroom, it was best if she had some time to herself. He pulled his shirt over his head and discarded it onto the floor. He turned to look at his side and back in the mirror. The scratches were red and inflamed, they stretched from his upper back and ripped around to his side above his hip. He touched it gingerly causing it to blacken momentarily, he roared in pain.
She heard his screams and it hurt. A lot. She only cried harder. Her entire world had been ripped apart and now he was in pain, she was guilty, and a guy she didn't even know was alive had shown up at her door. "When will the madness end?" She whispered.
Ryan sighed, if he could hear her breathing he could certainly hear her talking. He put his shirt back on causing a tear to fall from his eye as it rubbed on his back, he walked back down and looked at Belle.
(Is Shade still here?)
She felt herself going insane. Her sobs had been quieted, but they still wracked her body. She shuddered with each one, crying out like a wounded animal. "…I just wanted to be with the people. And look where it got me."
(No? I don't know.)
(Ryan: Sings 'Tear in My Heart' because 21 pilots makes people feel better. Lol)
(Yessss. That's very true. Tyler can always make me smile.)
(I was joking but you know what…)
Ryan walked over and sat on the couch, he pulled her in, adjusting her head onto his shoulder as he held tight. He began to hum until it slowly became soft singing.
Her sobs still wracked her, but they almost seemed to hesitate. Like they were listening.
