The Second

"Henry-"

"What the fuck?" He raised his voice and shut the door behind him

"Bro nothing is going on," Asher said calmly as I bit my lip

"Get out" he barked at Asher. I know Asher wouldn't listen to his brother in any other situation but I think he knows what he did

"Whatever" Ash said under his breath and left

"What was that?!" Henry asked as soon as the door closed

"N-nothing, what should it be?" I stuttered nervously

"I saw you on top of my brother so I'm sorry if I am suspicious," he said in a duh tone and come closer to me

"I didn't do anything" I looked down at my hands

"And what if I'd come a bit later? Would you do something?" He growled disgust on his face

"I love you why would I do that?" I pointed out with a hopeful look

"I'm starting to think that you don't love me anymore," he said in a lower voice. The hurt in his expression was eating me from inside

Before I could say anything else, he walked out of my house. I couldn't but sob as soon as the door shut

I hate when we fight especially when I have no one to talk to about it

The TV started to lose its signal and I sighed when I saw a storm outside. It's not that I'm scared of storms but I'm scared when I'm home alone while there are thunders all around

I'm used to being alone in this house and the first thing I think about after the fight when I'm home alone is my hiding place for alcohol

I skipped up the stairs and to my room. The spot is under my bed, dad never checked my room before and I even think that he doesn't mind what I have in here

The bottles of some weak alcohol are in the front but I'm searching for the deeper bottle, the bottle that I'm using in these kinds of situations

"Eureka" I grinned and took out a bottle of vodka. I also take some juice from the fridge before sitting on the couch

I think drinking alone is better than drinking with someone. When I drink alone I know there won't be any consequences that I would regret. Just me and my vodka

Hallway through the bottle, I heard the front door ring. It's at about 11 pm. My dad texted me that he'll sleep at the woman's place it ended up better than he thought

I stumbled towards the door to hear another thunder shooting near. I gulped another sip from the bottle before opening the door

I furrowed my eyebrows when I saw Henry standing in the doorway with a pitying look on his face. I quickly checked up his eyebrow before making a space for him to come inside

ASHER

After five minutes when I was sitting in my room, I heard the door from my brother's room slam. I didn't wait for any second and stood up

"Bro I promise nothing was happening between me and Emma" I run a hand through my hair and tried to walk into his room but he stopped me before I could

"I don't care just get out of my room" he barked as I fought the urge to argue with him. Think about Megan, she's asleep in her room, you don't want to wake her up

"Whatever" I gritted my teeth and walked out of his room into mine.

He doesn't know about my feelings, does he? There is no chance he does I don't show it anywhere. I lay face first on my bed and groaned
