“Get out of the way, Maddie,” Vera said, pulling Maddie back. “You’re going to get hurt.”
“What the fuck are you doing to my sister?” Oliver seethed at Alec, hurling another fist at him. It collided with his cheek. “This is for putting your hands on her.” Another fist to the eye socket this time. “And this is for that fucking post.”
Fists began flying from both of the friends and teammates.
“We have to stop this,” I said, hurrying toward the fight.
Maddie seemed so upset, and I hated it. I didn’t want her to watch them fight and couldn’t bear to see her look this upset because her boyfriend and brother were tearing each other apart.
João grabbed my wrist and yanked me back. “You’re not going in there. Let them fight.”
“Please,” I pleaded.
João shoved me against the locker to hold me in place. “No.”
A couple moments later, four guys from the hockey team pushed through the crowd and pulled Oliver and Alec away from each other, holding them back.
“How could you do this?” Oliver asked, finally calming down slightly and looking at Maddie for an answer, upper lip curled in disgust.
“I … we …” Maddie nervously licked her lips. “It happened, Oliver. I don’t know what you want me to say.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that this was happening? He is my best fucking friend!”
Alec growled, “Don’t shout at her.”
“Why don’t you shut the fuck up, Wolfe? I’m talking to my sister.”
“You’re talking down to my girl,” Alec said. “I’m not fucking cool with that.”
“You don’t need to be cool with it. She’s not yours.”
“The fuck she isn’t.”
My head snapped side to side, watching the guys argue.
Oliver turned back to Maddie. “Guys like him will do nothing but hurt you. He sleeps around. Remember what happened with your last boyfriend?”
“I can date anyone I want to, Oliver,” Maddie said. “As much as you think you do, you don’t own me.”
“If I don’t look out for you, who will?”
“What don’t you understand about this?! I don’t want you to look out for me! I can make my own decisions. Stop acting like our parents because you aren’t! If I want to date Alec, then I can date him!”
“Don’t come crying to me when he breaks your heart,” he said, storming off.
The crowd erupted into murmurs again, and then Alec grabbed Maddie’s hand and looked around. “I don’t care who is angry about it. Maddie Weber is mine. And if you have a problem with that, you will deal with me. And when I fucking find out which one of you hacked my accounts, I’ll personally fuck you up.”
“God-fucking-damn,” João said, pulling the cigarette from his mouth and blowing out some smoke. “I fucking hate Redwood.”
Once the dean of students came to settle everything down, Maddie hurried out of the hallway, Vera following after her. She showed nothing but hurt and anguish, her brows drawn together, her lips in a frown. I might’ve only talked to her a handful of times, but she was so distraught. I wanted to show her that while most people in Redwood sucked, not everyone did.
