I stared at the triplets who had just barged into my house and there was something really strange about the way they were behaving towards my mother. It was more animalistic than human. And she was going to say the same thing if anyone ever asked her.
I needed to get them out of here and away from her. She was the last person I needed to ask
questions.
I managed to get the triplets outside and I shut the door behind me before I walked down the stairs and down the driveway a bit so Evelyn couldn’t hear us.
“What the f**k are you stalkers doing here? How the hell do you even know where I live?” I demanded. But I already know all the answers to these questions.
“It’s a small town. Everyone knows where everyone lives.” Koda said.
“Alright. That still doesn’t explain what you’re doing here.” I said.
“We wanted to come and talk to you about what happened today. With Izzy.” Tyler said. That
was good. A good comeback that he came up with on the spot.
“What about her? I don’t care about that. She’s a b***h. I get that at every f*****g school I go
to.” I said.
“She’s jealous because of us.” Dean said.
“No. She’s jealous because of Tyler. I know that you two have something going on. It’s high
school, people talk.” I said.
“We had something going on. Not anymore. And whatever we did have, was nothing special.”
Tyler said. But I looked at them with a weird look on my face.
“Why are you telling me this? Why are you trying to justify her behavior to me? I don’t care why she’s doing it. I can take care of myself.” I said.
“Yeah. We’ve seen that.” Koda said, taking a step closer to me and looking at the cut on the
side of my face.
“It’ll heal.” I said.
“Not without stitches.” He said.
“I’ll be fine. Is that the only reason why you’re here?” I asked.
“We wanted to make sure that you were alright.” Dean said.

“I’m great. Can’t you tell?” I asked, being sarcastic.
“Is this because of Izzy?” He asked, pointing to my cheek and back at the house where Evelyn
was.
“It’s a long story. It’s not important. I told you, I can take care of myself.” I said.
“Yeah. You can. Well, Izzy is going to leave you alone from now on. Her parents came to see
our parents and it’s all been sorted out.” Koda said. And I looked at them strangely again.
“Alright. I don’t understand any of that. Why would her parents go to your parents? Why wouldn’t they come here to sort it out? I’m the one that she got into a fight with.” I said.
“Our parents are close. They thought that our parents might be able to help them.” Tyler said. Again, pretty quick thinking on his feet.
“Alright. Well, next time tell them to come and see me.” I said.
“There won’t be a next time.” Koda said.
“Whatever you say. I have to go and finish dealing with Evelyn otherwise she’s just gonna get
more and more pissed off.” I said, starting to walk back to the house.
“Nova.” Dean said. So I stopped and turned around to look at them. But none of them said
anything.
“What?” I asked.
“Are you sure it’s a good idea to go back in that house?” He asked. But I just scoffed while I shook my head and I turned back to walk towards the house.
When I walked inside I saw Evelyn looking out the window.
“So, are you whoring yourself around town now? That didn’t take you long.” Evelyn said.
“Why don’t you have a few more pills, wash them down with a bottle of wine and pass out like your f*****g husband does and leave me the f**k alone.” I yelled as I started walking towards
the stairs.
She reached out to grab my arm but I pulled it out of the way and she had to grab the bannister of the stairs to steady herself.
“You got anything else to say?” I asked. She just looked at me with a deathly stare, but didn’t say anything. So I turned around and walked back up the stairs to my room.
I didn’t know where Henry was, I was assuming at the hospital. It didn’t surprise me that Evelyn wasn’t with him. It’s not like there was any love in their marriage.

CHAPTER 11

I grabbed what I needed and I went to have a shower and I got dressed and went back to my
room.
I pulled out a mirror and placed it against the bed frame while I grabbed the first aid kit and I started stitching up the wound on my cheek without numbing it.
I then put a bandage over it and I put everything away.

I looked at my door and saw where the lock was broken from where they had kicked the door in and I knew that I would have to get that fixed as soon as possible.
But I heard Evelyn opening a bottle of wine, so I knew that I would be alright tonight.
She’ll drink herself unconscious and she won’t come in and attack me in my sleep.
Not that I sleep very much anyway.
I sat on my bed doing my homework and I got through it as fast as I could before I grabbed my
sketchbook and pencils and I started drawing whatever came to mind.
When I was finished I hadn’t even really paid much attention while I was drawing but it was a
picture of a scenery that looked almost animated. It was a waterfall with a lot of greenery, but
not something that you would find in this world. There was a creature grazing next to the
water and it looked so peaceful.
I don’t know where that came from so I sat there staring at it, and I really loved it.
I finally put it away and I could hear that the triplets were still outside, watching my house. But I turned the light off and I climbed into bed.
Even with the guys weren’t talking, I could still hear their thoughts and it was almost
impossible for me to cut them out like I had learnt to do with most people so I was tossing
and turning and I couldn’t stop listening to them.
I didn’t listen to what Evelyn or Henry were thinking because that was just scary to me, I didn’t know what was going through their heads. But for some reason I couldn’t block out the twins and it was starting to drive me crazy tonight. I needed them to leave my house. But I knew
that they weren’t going to because they thought I was in danger.
