Mattoe POV
We were talking about our sister and how to get back at those morons. Liam had actually been insisting that we respect clarrisa's Decision. But I was solidly against it. Not this time. Jayden wasn't even giving listening ear to any bullshits Liam was saying.
With the look he had, I could envision he had already killed those brothers of clarrisa hundred times and burry them.
Thankfully, Antonio was on the side that we find those brothers and make them experience hell.
I mean Those fuckers deserves to pay.
But we all startled and stopped talking when Racheal burst into the room unexpectedly.
Guess Antonio was wise not to tell her our plan. She's quite close to her sister now and she might tell her out our plans.
Which will completely Ruin the little trust she had manage to build for us.
We don't want that.
But I felt so angry and sad at the way Jayden spoke to her.
Anger was most dominant in my system though, I couldn't just hold it. I have to punch him to relieve myself a little.
"You shouldn't have done that Jayden. You shouldn't have said all those things to her" I thundered the moment Racheal ran out. Jayden glared hard at me wiping off his bloody lips.
I know Racheal is strong but I've spent time with her and I know she's just trying to be strong.
Strong people don't take drugs and yeah call me guilty I'll accept it.
I've never been strong. When emotions gets best of me the best thing I turn to is drugs.
Antonio discharged us with the conversation hasn't been sealed yet, cause Liam was solely agaishr it but I swear I'll get back at those fuckers.
Antonio instructed me to go check out how our sisters are doing.
I went to my sisters' room. I found Clarrisa sleeping soundly on her bed but Racheal was snuggling up on her bed whimpering.
It broke my heart to see her that way.
Curse that Jayden.
She didn't notice my presence until I got closer to her and she quickly wipe tears when she saw me.
"It's okay baby. Cry it all out." I tried my hardest to sound to softly as Pulled her into a hug.
"I..I hate that Jayden. I fucking hate him." She cried out angrily on my shoulders.
"Shuushhh let's not wake your twin okay." I said softly, patting her hair and caressing her back. I stayed with her in the room till it was almost dawn and that was when she fell Asleep. I covered her up before leaving the room.
Clarrissa's POV,
I Woke up to a throbbing headache. My head was tightening in a vice-like grip and it was as if someone was hitting my head with an axe.
With my hand holding my head, I sat up on the bed. My eyes darts to the wall clock and it was already 7 Am.
I looked at racheal's bed and she was fast asleep.
My head continue drumming as if it was so Angry at me.
I winced in pain and get off bed. I checked through all the cupboards, dressers, closet and every hidden places if I'll get panadol or pain killer but I found nothing.
I decided to go to the kitchen to get a cup of water at least.
I looked around for cup but only sighted it at the top cupboard. After fruitless effort of trying to get the cup. I climbed a stool to get it.
"What are you doing?" Someone's voice startled me. I went crashing to the floor but someone's Arm caught me back up.
"Hey don't be scared. It's just me baby." Liam said and helped me stand up.
"So what are you doing here baby and how was your night.."
"I...ugh..I'm having really bad headache." I said and Liam's lively face turned into panic and worry. He was panicking as if I just told him I'm about to die.
"Seat here baby. Wait for me I'll go get you drugs ASAP" Liam guided me to a stool. As I nodded and sat down, he left and it wasn't up to A minute before he came rushing in.
He came with a tablet of panadol. He peeled out two seeds and gave it to me. He also help me get water and guild me to drink it.
"Are you okay now?" He asked after I had taken the drugs.
I barely finish nodding when he said "stupid question. I know you are not."
He went to the refrigerator and brought an Ice bag.
"Let's use this to massage your head for now before the drugs starts acting." He said and I nodded. He squat to my level and pressed the ice bag to my head. I shivered as the ice came in contact with my skin but it was relieving as Liam gently used it to massage my head.
While Liam was busy tending to my headache, memories of yesternight flash through. Liam's tearing face played in my head. Honestly I didn't know how to feel.
Happy? Worried? Panicked? Scared?
A part of me was low-key scared about my ex-brothers finding me but reflecting on Antonio's assurance, was relieving.
By the time Liam was done massaging my head, I felt better than before. I was only feeling a little ache but I was good.
"Feeling better now?" Liam asked.
"Yes," I nodded.
"Don't worry you'll be fine. Breakfast is ready by the way. Let's go to the dining" I nodded and followed Liam's lead down to the dining.
Dishes was arranged on the dining table but no one was around.
"Ughh...Where are the others?" I asked Liam as I sat down.
"They are..." before he could finish up, we heard footsteps.
Jayden and Antonio walked down. Almost immediately, Mattoe walked down with Racheal.
Antonio, Mattoe and Jayden all asked how I was doing as they settled on the dining. I assured them I was fine, inwardly nervousness that'll hint about yesternight event.
Racheal didn't say anything to me, she didn't even responded when Everyone except Jayden asked about her night. She only nodded gloomily which was unlike her.
The only usual thing about her was that she was moody, extremely moody and surprisingly quiet.
With the way Jayden was taking glances at her, I know something was Amis but I didn't bother to ask.
I was even glad that no one talked about yesternight event. Awkward silence stilled the Air as we all ate breakfast.
"Rechel I apologize for..." Jayden started as soon as everyone was done eating but Racheal cut him off rudely by raising up her left hand.
"that was yesterday. I don't want to hear it" and with that she stood up and left the dining angrily.
We all watch her stormed off.
Jayden's body stiffs and he breathed out so much Air to suppress the anger on his face.
What happened?
Antonio wanted to say something to him but he rudely cut Antonio off and walked out of him angrily.
Mattoe rolled his eyes and parked up the dishes.
Antonio sighed and told me he is leaving off to do something. He then kissed me and wished me a happy day ahead, telling me everything will be alright.
It was just me and Liam Again as usual.
I wanted to ask him what happened betweenRacheal and Jayden but decided against it.
"So... it's the two of us again." Liam pointed out
"Let's do something fun. Wanna hang out with me?" He asked enthusiastically.
I swallowed a lump when he asked that.
The thought of coming accross my brothers clouded my head.
"N..No.. I don't want to go out." I didn't mean to panic but it just came.
"It's okay it's okay..." Liam said softly, gently holding my hand. "I know something fun we can do." He said with a smile.
He left and came back with a green pack. As he settled it down, he told me it was a game called scrabble.
He thought me the rules of the games before we started playing. I win in most rounds cause it had to do with words and I was very good in English language.
Each time I win, I stuck my tongue at him and the few times he win, I frowned.
He just chuckled. At least I was having Fun. I was able to forget my brothers for the time being.
Racheal came at the middle and joined us.
"So Racheal," Liam went all serious at the middle of the game making us stop for a while.
"If you are going to talk about Jayden then I'm out of here." Racheal snapped angrily.
"No, don't be like that Racheal. See I know you hate Jayden for what he said yesterday and I understand if you think he hate you. But permit to say this that he doesn't hate you. Not even for one bit. He loves you so much Racheal and I could swear he was only trying to protect you by saying all that. Let's just say, he doesn't know how to handle his emotions.
Whenever he's sad, scared, panicked, worried, whatever mood he feels at a time he translates it into Anger and when he's Angry, he goes overboard. He doesn't know how to control it at all." Liam paused as he noticed the confused look on me and Racheal's face.
Yeah I was so surprised, shocked and confused.
"Yeah it's a disorder. Jayden is suffering from a mental disorder just like you Racheal. He have Internal Explosive Disorder, IED. His is a bit more critical. He doesn't know how to control his anger. It's way beyond him. Whenever he's sad, depressed or anything. It result to Anger. I don't think I've to elaborate all this, you have IED Racheal at least you best know how it feels. You should understand more be..."
"No, I don't understand." Racheal lashed out angrily, panting all of a sudden. "We aren't the same. He's been with his family, he's have a happy life. He's different from me. He hasn't been through any traumas so he've nothing to be angry about" Racheal yelled the last sentence.
"Calm down Racheal." Liam said and went all gloomy.
"Jayden use to be very meek and kind. Infact he was the most kindest among us all. When he loves someone he love with all his heart and that meekness of his ended him in trouble. there was this day some people attacked us. After finding out who there were and thier gang location, we all went there with the aim of ridding off our enemies and we succeeded. After the operation we were going home and then we saw a girl ran to us for help. SHe said she was being kidnapped by the people we came to attack. We wanted to just abbadon her but Jayden being a mr goody two shoes decided to help her. He accommodated her even against Antonio's will. To cut story short he became attached to her and fell in love with Kayla. Yes Kayla is her name.
She was his first love. Just while they were progressing to point of marriage, he discovered she was a snitch.
She works with our enemy. He set Jayden up and he was captive by our enemies. They took him as threat for Antonio to surrender our ma..our business but Jayden didn't obliged. Hence they kept him there for weeks. I don't know what he experienced but when my brother came back I couldn't recognize him. He was batters, dehumanized, his bones were showing. He was traumatized and then he was diagnosed of IED. That was how he became an IED patient. Pleas don't tell him this. He might kill me for real. I just want you to know that he have a reason for his Disorder. Like you he've been through so much traumas."
Rechel was stunned. Tears was glistening in her eyes and I was straight crying.
Liam drew me to himself as he starts cuddling me.
Gosh I could only imagine the hell he went through for him to be have been that way.
You may think I'm taking this too far but try being through any form of abuse. No one deserve to be hurt in anyway.
"And.." Rechel spoke. "What did he do to the bitch?" She spat angrily.
"She managed to get away." Liam said quietly.
