Mess

"Please... Bella, don't say anything. I'll tell them! just... just shut your mouth."

It's been a week when I heard that, I told my brother everything I heard but we just decided to ignore it and let Mom say what's the truth they are talking about.

"Harrison? are you ready?" I asked while knocking on his door. We're going to Mall right now just to bonding.

"I'm not yet ready, just wait for me downstairs!" He shouted, I guess he's still taking a bath. I went back to my room to check myself in the mirror. I was wearing a white spaghetti cropped top, high waist jeans paired with white rubber shoes.

I put a moisturizer on my face and put sunscreen after that and then I wore a slight lipstick. I was brushing my hair when I heard my phone vibrated.

Travis:

wyd?

My lips formed a smile when I saw his message.

Briana:

Gonna spend time with my brother. What about you?

I replied immediately, he told me last night he's going to Mall but I don't know where. I didn't ask where he would go.

Travis:

take care! talk to you later. :)

My smile went widely, this is the first time I saw him using a smiley face. I didn't reply and turned off my phone when I heard Harrison knocking.

"I'm ready," He said in a lower tone. He's really growing. Lately, I started noticing that his voice is getting deeper. He was wearing a sweater and pants, pairing with his white rubber shoes.

"Okay, let's go," I told him, he just nodded and wait for me downstairs. I sprayed perfume on myself and took my tote bag before leaving the room.

"Let's eat breakfast before you leave," Dad told us. Mom was preparing the food, she didn't look at me but I saw her eyes swollen.

My brows furrowed. What the hell is happening?

"Uhm... we need to go now, Dad," I said. He just sighed and nodded.

"Take care... love you!" Mom said with excitement in her voice. She really looked sad. Should I consult her?

"Bye, Mom and Dad. We love you two." I said as I waved my hand. Harry just smiled and waved his hand. He just stayed silent until we left the house.

"What's with you?"

"Didn't you notice?" He asked.

"Notice what?"

"Mom has been distant to us..." Actually, I already noticed that. But I don't want to think about what's happening, I don't want to accept the fact that she has been distant from us. I always said to myself that, maybe she was just having a hard time. I want to confront her, but I just can't. I feel like, the truth they are talking about, will destroy us as a family. That's why I'm avoiding that kind of topic when I'm with her.

I let out a deep sigh and slowly nodded. "Let's not talk about that, we should enjoy, you know..." I told him and tapped his hair.

He just smiled and nodded, agreeing with me.

"Ah, shit! It's cold." I complained. I felt cold as soon as we entered the mall.

"Do you want my sweater? I'm wearing a t-shirt." He said. I shook my head immediately.

"I'm fine, I can still handle myself. Don't worry."

"You sure?" I just nodded.

"We haven't eaten yet, where do you want to eat?"

"Anywhere," I just playfully rolled my eyes. He's a little boring right now.

"Fine." We were walking to find a restaurant but my eyes widened when I saw Travis with a girl. So... this is the reason why he didn't tell me where he would go? Well, yeah. I almost forgot I didn't ask.

I didn't realize that I was stunned. Harry just tapped my shoulder. "Why?" He asked, confused.

I was amazed at the girl he's with, she's really... beautiful. She was tall. Around 5'6, fair, and has a well-defined body. They were laughing, I felt... something.

"Nothing..." I uttered. "Let's go?"

"Hmm... who's that?"

I ignored him and continued to walk. He held my wrist and stopped me. "He's your crush, right?" I rolled my eyes and slowly nodded. "Introduce me!" What the hell? why would I introduce him?

"He's with a girl, can't you see?"

"So?"

"What?! What if he's with his girlfriend?"

"I thought he has no girlfriend?"

"I don't know..."

"If he has a girlfriend, why would he talk to you or call you every time?"

I stayed silent. I honestly do not know if he has a girlfriend, I never asked and he never told me.

"Briana?" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and saw Travis, with a girl. She was smiling at me genuinely.

"You must be Briana." A girl with hazel eyes offered her hand. I quickly accepted her hand and formed my lips a smile.

"Y-Yes..." I said awkwardly and slightly giggled, trying to lift the atmosphere. How does she know me?

"And... you are?" I asked.

"I'm Allison..."

You are Travis' what? 'Why do you care?' my subconscious mind told me.

"I've always heard you about Travis... he's not lying, you're really beautiful."

"Really? Thank you..." I just smiled sweetly about what she said, I really don't know what to say.

"Anyway, is he your brother?" Travis asked. My brother just nodded and offered his hand.

"Hmm, he's really your type." I heard Harrison whisper.

"Nice to meet you here! but I'm sorry... we really need to go! I still have a flight." She said, pouting her mouth. Damn, she's really pretty. Is she one of the girls that he wants?

"No, it's okay! Take care, Allison! Have a safe flight, hope we meet again!" I said as I hugged her and kissed her cheeks.

"Bye! gonna call later..." Travis said with a smirk on his lips. Allison laughed because of what he said. I just giggled and playfully laughed my eyes.

Harrison kicked me slightly. "You're too obvious." He murmured. I just stared at him.

"Clingy, huh," Allison said and hit Travis. She laughed out loud and I was carried away as well. I saw my brother just smiling a bit and slowly shook his head. I just saw how Travis runs her hands with his hair, smirking.

Our gazes met, I raised an eyebrow. "What?" I uttered, with a small smirk on my lips.

"Anyway, gotta go!" Allison said, waving her hands.

"Bye..." Travis uttered and nodded to my brother. He shifted his gaze and smile with me. He waved his hand and started to gesture his hand 'call' and winked at me.

"Do you want this?" I asked my brother, holding a sweater. It's almost an hour since we met them.

The reason I bought Harrison here because I want to treat him before he leaves. I want his last memories in here to be happy.

"You're spending too much money." He said to me. I just rolled my eyes at him. "Don't worry, get what you want," I uttered and gave him the sweaters and pants that I took.

He stared at me for a moment. "What will I do with these?" He raised an eyebrow and raised his hand, showing those clothes that I gave him. "Look if it fits you, then buy." He was about to say something but I cut him off. "Don't complain, I'm gonna pay for it."

He said it fits with him so I bought it, we went to different places just to buy him things. We just do random things, buy, eat, take a picture and etc.

"Feeling rich," He mocked me. I immediately hit him playfully. "Duh, just appreciate what I'm doing," I said and rolled my eyes. He just laughed and shook his head.

We just walk around and decided to go home when it's already 7 in the evening.

"Have you eaten?" Mom asked when she was us entering our house.

"I'm fine, Mom. I'm not hungry..." I uttered and smiled at her politely. I don't want her to think that we're not okay. She looked concerned.

"Okay, then. Let yourself rest, love you," She said and I just nodded and went downstairs. Her I love you's doesn't really feel like she loves me. I hope I'm just overthinking. I was about to go into my room but I saw Dad, writing. He looks tired.

"Hey Dad, just got home." My lips formed a small smile. He quickly closed the paper and hid it when he heard me.

"Y-You're home... what happened?" I didn't ask about what I saw. He seems like he doesn't want to talk about it. Really, what's happening?

"It went... fine. Anyway, gonna rest now." I smiled widely. He just nodded. I looked at him in the eyes, his eyes speak a lot. It has a lot of emotions.

"Love you, Ana." He said slowly. I just nodded and went into my room. I almost teared up when I realized Dad called me Ana. On how the way he told me that he loves me.

It is something painful, why I couldn't understand what's happening. It's been years when Dad called me Ana, and at that time, he has gone through a lot.

Since the night we talked about why my Brother needs to leave, the mess starts to begin.

What would I do now?
