Then, Nick, Jax and Eric did the same and I wanted to hug them all longer. It felt real. Like I'd somehow gained four brothers. I loved them all, even though one of them had somehow broken my best friend’s heart. It was a strange feeling. As much as I loved Nick, I wanted to punch him for making Lilly the way she was. I wondered if it was something I'd always have to deal with—her avoiding Nick and Nick watching her every move. I thought about it hard as I hugged him and over his shoulder, I saw a familiar shade of blonde until Maddie turned her head so I could see her fully.
"What the actual fuck?" I spoke to myself as Nick let me go to see who it was that I was staring at.
I was about to charge that way when I felt Kit's hand holding me back.
"What is she doing here?" I asked him.
"One of the guys must have brought her here, I never invited her."
As we stood there staring at her, Maddie stared back and eventually pushed her way through people until she stood in front of us.
"I'm sorry that I came," was not what I was expecting to hear.
She looked bothered, even awkward, it was the first time I'd seen her anything but confident.
"I came to talk to you both, if you'll allow me?"
"No. I think you should go," Kit said from beside me and I saw it hit Maddie like a bullet to the chest. Despite what she may have done to us, I knew she loved Kit. I could see it in the way she flinched at his harsh tone.
"Kit," I stopped him from going any further and he looked at me in shock.
I nodded my head at him and looked back at Maddie.
She offered me a smile but I was in no way ready to give her one back.
"I came to apologise," she started and I stood listening.
"Let's just say I'm a bit fucked up," she admitted and it made me wonder what her story was.
"I'll understand if you never want to see me again, but I had to say sorry."
I was in total shock, and by the looks of it, so was Kit.
"I'm so sorry," we heard her voice break but neither of us attempted to comfort her.
"I appreciate it," Kit said, "but now you need to leave."
I looked at him, seeing the look on his face I'd never seen before. If he looked at me like that, it'd rip my heart out. I could see that's what he was doing to Maddie, and despite everything, I felt sorry for her.
He looked at me as if he couldn't believe what I was about to say.
"I'm pretty fucked up too," I admitted, looking at her.
"Eves," Kit said and I could see him eyeing me from the corner of my eye.
I nodded, letting her know that I got it.
"You should stay," I said, looking around at all of her Delta friends.
I didn't wait for her to reply, I gave her a tight smile and left her there standing with Kit. I needed a drink. Anon-alcoholicdrink and in the kitchen I stood beside the counter sipping at it when Kit approached me.
"Have you gone mad?"
I gulped the liquid down as Jax came up behind him.
"She's definitely too good for you now, Bro."
"I already knew that," Kit answered, looking at me.
