The line clicked, and I saw Tye rub his chin.
"He's such a prick. Let's go and see Lizzie."
"I'm driving." I grabbed the car keys.
ZEUS
"What the fuck are you doing here?" I snapped at Brandon, who glared back at me, defiance in his eyes.
"Lizzie needed somewhere to stay, and seeing as though shelivedhere, I had no problem with it."
"Move," I commanded, pushing past him as he cursed.
Lizzie had somewhere to stay.
With us.
I took the stairs two at a time to find Lizzie stepping out of the shower, her face pale and gaunt.
"Zeus?!"
Her damp hair clung to her neck and jaw, her fingers gripping the towel as her eyes darted around me.
"Are the others here?"
"No, but I'm sure they will be soon."
I followed her into the bedroom, closing the door behind me. Lizzie stood by the window, staring down into the street anxiously.
"What's wrong, Lizzie? Why are youhere?"
Lizzie shook her head, forcing a smile. "I needed to think."
"About?"
"Everything!" Lizzie bit back tears, and I moved closer, my fingers peeling the damp hair away from her skin.
A bruise on her neck dominated her pale skin.
"Who did this?" I asked. "Was it your ex?"
Lizzie moved away, tugging her head from my grasp.
"It's none of your business."
The front door slammed downstairs, and I heard heavy footsteps approaching the bedroom.
Lizzie stared at the door, her gaze flickering back to me as she bit her lip.
"Don't tell them," Lizzie pleaded, wrapping her towel around her tightly.
The door opened and revealed Reign, his eyes dark and deadly as they took in the scene. Tye and Brandon stood behind him.
"Elizabeth."
It felt like I was in a lover's quarrel when Lizzie met Reign's gaze.
Tye refused to meet my eyes, but I got it. We'd fucked, and now it was awkward — Really fucking awkward.
