“No,” I shout.
“Jordy, I want you to tell me, right now?” Standing my ground, I cross my arms across my chest and wait.
“No good will come of it, Nova. Just drop it, trust me,” he says, his tone agitated.
“Princess, trust me, we all have a past, but some things are better left hidden,” King says, defending Jordy’s decision not to tell me.
Is he serious right now?
“He’s right, mamas, the past can be messy and mine alone would force you to hate me and I don't want that,” Bass says, offering me a smile.
A tear slides down my face and knowing they can’t be truthful with me, or even care enough about me to be honest hurts more than knowing what they’ve already told me.
I bite back a string of curse words as my eyes crash shut because what good will it do? I can't force them to tell me their secrets just as much as I can’t stop my heart from falling for them.
My father was right, I should have stayed away.
They all watch me as I wipe my face, the uncertainty strong between all of us.
They chose me yet they won’t let me in. Glancing around at them, I finally accept they’ll never be honest with me, not fully anyway.
I guess I don’t mean as much to them as I thought.
I choke on all the things I want to say. Taking one slow breath, I feel my heart begin to break, I’d lost everything in one night and now I’m losing it all again. Unable to stop it, my lip trembles.
“Fuck,” Bass snarls as I brush tears away from my face.
“Nova,” Cass says my name, taking a step toward me, he halts when I hold my hands out in front of me.
“Don’t,” I say, unable to form any other words because I’m too afraid I’ll break if I do.
“Pup, please,” Cass whispers. Hiccups consume me as I tearfully try to speak, but my words fail me and I can’t.
“Baby, please stop crying,” Bass murmurs.
“Shit, shit, we’re sorry, Nova, please,” Jordy says softly.
My breath hitches as I try to control myself.
Fresh tears gather in my eyes when I feel a palm press to the side of my face, my vision is blurry and I hate myself right now for losing control like this,
“Baby, look at me.” Jordy’s voice breaks through my haze.
I can’t because if I look at him and see him, really see him, I might just crumble again.
These boys own my heart, every breath is theirs and right now I feel like I catch it and nothing they say will make me believe they're keeping their secrets to protect me.
Not caring about their stupid rule about me being alone, I run from the house, leaving them behind because right now I can’t face them.
I should have listened to my father and stayed away, forcing them to leave me alone.
“Nova.” I ignore their shouts.
I keep running, not caring what happens. I know they’ll catch me they always do, but I can’t be with them if they can’t be honest.
Sinking to my knees in the grass, I hold my face in my hands as I crumble, tears wet my cheeks and hands as I cry.
“Nova?” I stiffen hearing Cass behind me. “Go away, Cass.” Ignoring my request, Cass sits silently beside me knocking my shoulder with his.
