The Reunion

"No, I don't" My voice was cold.

I knew he wasn't lying. Of course I believed him but I was angry. I was so angry that I was treated that way by his family. And I didn't want to seem like the weak idiot I was.

"Kieran." His voice was barely a whisper.

"Tell me something first. Did my mother and Sabrina have a hand in you running away? Did they do something behind my back?" he asked and I raised a brow.

"Are you even asking me that right now?" I shot back.

Thanks to the memory of that fateful day rushing to my mind, it was easy to channel all of the anger straight to him.

"You were there every single time it happened. Both your mother and Sabrina hurled insults at me, just because I was- hmm, how did she put it 'trash' and a 'rogue', and you just stood there without saying a word" I said accusingly. I was seething with rage.

I watched Xander's lips part slightly, but before he could get any more words out, I interrupted him.
