“Taylor, I’m not joking… let go of me—” I’m unable to finish my protest when Wes’s hulking form rips Taylor away from my body, causing me to stumble back.
“What the fuck, man? We were just having a little fun… Weren’t we, Lo?” Taylor yells.
“Fuck off Taylor, she asked you to let her go. I know this is a hard concept for you, but when a girl says no, she means it,” Wes growls at him.
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean, huh?” Taylor gets into Wes’s face.
“You know exactly what that means, asshole. Now leave her alone.”
“Did the sight of my hands on her hips get to you, man? Was it too much for you to handle picturing me possibly fucking your girl?” Taylor taunts quietly enough so only myself and Wes can hear him.
“Back. The. Fuck. Off. Taylor,” Wes warns.
“You know she looks sexy as fuck in that bikini,” he says, biting his knuckle, eyeing me like the creepy fuck he is. “Hmm, is she a screamer? I bet she’s loud as fuck in the bedroom… is her cunt as tight as her little body, Wes?”Does this dude have a death wish or something?
I swear a yelp escapes me as Wes’s fist connects with Taylor’s face. I hear the crunch moments before blood pours from his nose. Within seconds, my brother is next to Wes in the pool and Taylor is being dragged out.
“You’re a fucking dead man… You really are a piece of shit, you know that? I always knew you were a scumbag, but to hear that shit is next level,” Eli screams. I guess Taylor’s taunts weren’t so quiet after all.
Clearly not knowing when to shut the hell up, Taylor spits out, along with a wad of blood, “Oh yeah, sure! If you think I’m the only one thinking about it, you’re more delusional than I thought. Just ask your buddy, King Zeus himself. I’m sure he’ll have plenty to share on that topic.”
“Get out of my house, you disrespectful piece of shit!” With that, several of my brother’s friends drag Taylor out the side gate.
I quickly climb out of the pool, embarrassed by the chaos. Maddie is there waiting with a towel for me, looking solemn. Wrapping it around my body, she starts to usher me toward the house. I look over my shoulder just in time to see Eli shove Wes in the chest.
Wes stands there looking stunned that my brother put his hands on him. My heart breaks at the sight. I feel the sting of tears as I turn my head to see where Eli stomped off to. He’s standing off to the side with a glare that could kill. He’s pissed at Taylor, I’m sure, but is he mad at Wes too?Shit, is Eli pissed about him and me? We were going to tell them.
Oh god, I hope not. I promised myself I would never come between them or mess up our family dynamic. My heart breaks and the tears start to trickle. I could never come between the bond those two have. They’re like brothers. I can’t take that away from them knowing how much their relationship means to them both.
“Oh shit,” Maddie mutters, obviously seeing what I just saw.
“Why would he shove Wes? He was only sticking up for me.” Maddie gives me a knowing look.
“Come on, let’s get you inside.” She ignores my question, hugging my shoulder as we walk side by side to my room, but something seems off with her.
“Are you okay, Mads?” I ask, stripping out of my wet suit and finding something to change into.
“Yeah… but I need to talk to you,” Maddie says, concern written all over her face. Throwing a t-shirt over my head, I take a seat next to her on the side of my bed.
“Listen, before I say anything, I just want you to know I love you, but you need to know…”
“Spit it out Mads.” Her evasiveness is making me uneasy.
“I slept with Zeus!” Maddie blurts, putting her hands over her face. I feel my stomach drop at her confession.What the fuck.
“Okay, when?” I ask calmly, trying to keep my cool.
“It was years ago… all of our friends were talking about how they lost their virginities already, so Wes and I thought it would be a good idea for us to sleep together.”
“You lost your virginity to him?” Oh god, this is worse than I thought… I think I’m going to be sick.
“Yeah, it was a one-time thing, and we figured that since we were friends, it was a good idea…” She trails off at the end, leaving words unspoken.Why didn’t anyone tell me this… especially him?
“Buuut…” I ask, knowing there is more.
“Fuck Lo, I love him. I always have. I thought I could just get over the crush, especially after we slept together. But it only grew.” There it is, the knife to my chest. She loves him. My sister fucking loves him.
“Why—why are you telling me all this?” My heart is literally breaking in my chest. A pain I don’t think I’ve ever felt.
