Third String
It was silent and I hate it. Silence was one of the things I really wanted but this is making me uncomfortable. I was currently sitting on the floor while two men standing in front of me and watching my next move.
When I realized I was there for so long I decided to stand. I lift myslef slowly since my things was quite heavy and I don't want to embarrass myself by falling back on the floor.
I wiped my tears before looking at them. Evan still has his glare but it wasn't as scary as earlier and Ethan has this worried look, he maybe feel guilty of what his brother have done to me. It's not really important, I just want to get out of this situation and I don't want to see there face any sooner if I go already.
"I'm sorry if I'm a nuisance to you. Don't worry, I'll do my best to not stand in your way. If you really hate my presence just act like I don't exist. I'm fine with it" I said as I smiled, a fake one. They were speechless I think? I won't blame them though since that was the longest I've ever said since they met me earlier and I won't be talking to them anyway sooner so I just have to say all of it now.
I walked ahead of them. I wanted to get away from that awkward moment that we had. Since I'm the one who made it uncomfortable to them then might as well leave. I know they hate me because papa chose to go with mama. Papa got mama accidentally pregnant because they were both drunk and papa had a a huge fight with his wife, Wendy so he left her and lived with mama and me but since the red string of fate and there soulmate bond, papa left us while mama was pregnant with Amari. I understand them, I understand Evan. His father wasn't there when they were growing up and here I am suddenly appearing out of no where, he might had thought that I'm here to bring papa back to us.
As I entered the house I saw papa who was talking with Amari while Wendy is sitting on the other side of Amari while smiling. She's really kind and understanding, she doesn't really mind us being papa's children from another women. They might have notice my presence when they suddenly looked at where I was standing. Papa and Wendy stood up and walked towards me as papa pulled me to a strong hug, I then hugged him back.
"You're all big now Ashton" he said and I just remained silent. I really don't know what to say to him so saying nothing is the best thing to do than randomly saying something.
I was reminded of what happened earlier when I saw Wendy on the side while smiling. The twins was a lot like their mother, they shared her hazel eyes and brown hair. I gently pushed papa away and looked at the twin's expression. Evan again had that scary face of his. I then looked away as soon as I've already checked.
"You should probably put your things in your room dear" Wendy said while she placed her hand on my shoulder making me look at her. She then looked at where the twins were "Show him his room boys"
"Come" Ethan said as he patted my shoulder making me flinch. He then took his hand away when he realized I wasn't comfortable with his touch.
Ethan smiled and started to walk while Evan is right beside him. I just followed them until we reached the end of the hallway of the second floor. Ethan opened the room.
"This is your room. If you need anything just ask me. I'll just be on this room" Ethan said while pointing the next room. I just nodded and stared at the room. It was quite big than my room before, it has a queen size bed and has its own bathroom. I walked in the room and placed my things on the floor next to the bed.
I sat down on the bed and I let my thoughts drift away as I was just starring blankly at the wall, not realizing that there are still people on the door watching him until he heard footsteps nearing him. I turned my face slowly while still having that blank face.
"What's wrong?" Ethan said as he sat next to me while Evan sat on the other side making me at the middle. I suddenly looked at him with a confused look.
"W-what do you want?" I stuttered and just ignored the question earlier.
"I'm having this weird feeling and I hate it" Evan said as he glared at me. He didn't even answer my question and also he is not the only one who is having weird feelings here.
I just looked away and stood but before I could do that both of my hand was pulled back as two strong hands were holding it. My eyes widen as I tried to pull both of my hands away but I can't.
"Please let me go" I said while still trying to get away from them.
"Answer my question first" Evan said. I stopped struggling and looked at him.
"How'd you know we're soulmates?" I just stared at him blankly. I need to be calm, I don't need them knowing I can see the red string of fate. I just don't want anyone to know anything about it.
"Are you the our soulmate too?" I looked at him with disbelief while trying to make it sinking in. As soon as I understand his question I started to laugh. He looked at me like I'm a crazy person- well I am and I admit it.
"Why are you laughing?" Evan must be really irritated by now as he glared at me. If glaring could kill I'd be dead by now.
"Probably because I don't have a-" I was stopped and was thankfull. I was about to reveal my little- no our family's secret.
"Ashton! Where have you been?" Amari said as she walked in the room and stood infront of me and looked at the twins while smiling. "Can I borrow Ashton for a bit?"
Both of them nodded and let go of my hand. I stood up as Amari held my hand pulling me out of the room.
"My room is beautiful Ash! Auntie Wendy decorated it herself" she said excitedly, swinging our hands while skipping happily.
We entered a her room and was shocked. It was full of teddy bears and girly stuffs. It was really a type of room that Amari will love.
"Isn't it beautiful?" She said as she hold my other hand and began jumping. I chuckled and nod in response.
