In Danger

"Why are you guys doing this? Why the sudden hate? Can you tell me what is going on?" I asked the trio, my eyes resting on an Adam who stared at me like I was some fly that was beneath his feet.

I was so dead curious now. Had anything happened? Did Claire say something that was untrue?

"Did Claire say something? Don't listen to her! She is…" I was still speaking, the pitch of my voice rising higher, when suddenly, my words were cut off, as my mouth was subjected to significant pain.

Daniel slapped the hell out of my mouth.

I tasted blood in my mouth.

Did Daniel just slap me? Why? I knew the answer the next minute from Noah.

"Never mention Claire with your stinky mouth. She is a hundred times better the woman you will ever be." He stated gruffly, before giving Daniel a thumbs up.

"Nice one kidddo." He said to his younger brother, before turning his attention to Adam who was smiling gleefully at my surprise and discomfort.
