I bite my tongue as I put the key in the lock. How could a mother say that about her own child, like I get my mother saying something, I'm her child. But for Mrs. Winston to be more worried about my future than her own daughters speaks volumes on her character.
“I don’t mean to be rude Mrs. Winston, but it is absolutely none of your concern who I’m spending my time with, your daughter is an amazing person.” I open my front door, not bothering to turn around. When I’m in the house I shut the door and lock it behind my back. Fucking savage.
There’s a knock. “Can we talk?” I hear George ask.
“Not if your parents are still there.” I reply.
“They’ve left.” He replies back.
I peek through the peephole to see it’s just him. I unlock the door and open it, “You’ve got five minutes.” I say, kicking my shoes off.
He shuts the door and follows me to the kitchen. “Why her, of all the girls you could have.”
“What girls George? Before this year, the only person who never made fun of me was Katherine and you, and sorry, but I don’t swing that way.” I wiggle my brows at him as I pull a soda from the fridge.
“I know you’ve liked her for a while, but why now?”
“Because we leave for Yale in a couple months, then the window is gone, she’ll have her own life who the fuck knows where and I’ll be elbows deep in college bullshit.” I take a drink and set the red can down. “Why were you with Nicole fucking Breshears?” I ask back, “She was the ringleader of bullies.”
“She asked me to eat, I figured why not, we’re about to graduate and I’d never see her again. Turns out she wanted something I wasn’t willing to help with.”
“George, didn’t you know where to put it?” I clear my throat trying not to laugh.
“As if you would know where it goes either. You’re just as much of a virgin as I am.” He quips so matter of factly.
“I’m not a virgin, George. We haven’t spoken much in the last couple months. What the fuck would you know about me these days.” There’s a reason I’ve pulled back from him. Yes, I’m in love with his sister, but there's a part of me that likes George, in more than just as a friend kind of way. It was the three of us for so long, the bond grew, and when Katherine went her own way, pulling away from both of us. We only had each other, he was my everything and when he found out he was accepted into Yale, I was put on the back burner.
“Since when?” George cocks his head to the side.
“Since your sister.” I say with as much venom on my tongue as I can muster.
“You fucking pig, you and her lost your virginity to each other, are you kidding me?” He asks. I just laugh, because no, George, that is not how that happened.
“Why are you here? You stopped talking to me when Yale came into the picture. You pushed me to the side.”
“We’re going to Yale together, you should be at my side, getting ready. Not fucking my sister.”
I close the gap between us, his blue eyes staring right into me, searing a hole in my chest. He seems disgusted with me. “Why not?” I snarl.
“Because of bro code.” He says with a straight face.
“Fucking bro code, you’re throwing that at me right now?” I hear footsteps coming down my stairs, Katherine must've snuck in the way I showed her to avoid the front door. Fuck.
“Yes, I told you that you could look at my sister, but you swore you’d never touch her.” He shoves me in the chest. What is it with these fucking Winston siblings shoving me in the chest?
“I never promised to not touch her. I wanted something, and I fucking went after it. I wanted to know her, truly know her. She’s fucking amazing, George. You guys push her out because of how she’s dressing. If you knew anything about her, you’d know that she’s hiding. She’s fucking marvelous, smart mouthed, and a god damned good lover. Now get the fuck out of my house.” I throw a hand up pointing to my front door.
“This isn’t over, Westley.” George says as he turns to see his sister standing there, looking worried. “Worthless piece of trash.” He practically spits at her.
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to cause problems.” Katherine bites her lip and disappears around the corner.
“That’s right, fucking run, that’s what you’re good at.” George yells. “Maybe they’ll actually arrest you and throw away the fucking key!”
My heart drops and my fists clench. I’ve been pissed, the time I rescued her from Knox amongst the top three, but the way George is talking to her just spikes me through the fucking roof. I take three long strides to catch him, shoving him against the wall. His back hits hard, my hand gripping his throat. “I swear to every fucking thing the world believes in, I will end your fucking life George. She’s been through enough.”
“Threatening me now, Westley, she must have a good snatch.” Grinding my teeth I do my best to not punch his lights out right here.
“Just fucking leave. And stay out of our business.” I throw him towards the door, leaving him there so I can hunt down my beautiful dark soul beauty.
