8.(SHE HAS GROWN UP)

NICK

My mum was shouting at Rose, though it wasn't her fault, it was all Jack's nonsense which caused this much mess. I looked towards Rose who was slowly walking in my direction and her face turned white when she saw me that much angry. My wolf was still on edge I was never able to control him back then and I couldn't control him now. my wolf side tried to take over when I saw jack smirking.

As for my sister she will never get it, I'll never hurt her, I love her more than any of my siblings. My breathing was still heavier as I was trying hard not to disobey my mom and scare my sister.

"I'm sorry, I'll never make fun of you again, I was just asking what he did to you I never wanted to be the cause for all of this mess" she sobbed as her voice broke with fear and tears trickled down her cheeks.

Yeah obviously you scared her again, my wolf pushed me to stop her from crying, he was sad as much as I was, I cursed my wolf and after taking few breaths I looked at her, she was still sobbing and her hands were shaking.

"Hey, it's fine, I'm not angry at you this is not your fault, the one who's suppose to apologize is Jack, now stop crying, I never wanted to scare you" I wiped her tears with my thumb.

"YOUR HAND" she was holding my hand as blood had reached my elbow from the cuts.

"Sorry, I didn't notice" I confessed.

"Seriously are out of your mind" she pushed me liker she's much older than me, I couldn't help but smile and followed.

I started walking, and glared Jack who was now looking guilty, mum was getting ready to beat him to death. I hissed when Rose cleaned my cuts on hand.

"How does that feels?" she teased while showing me a twisted fork.

"It hurts" I replied and held my head down in defeat, I can't fight her, she's not the one to mess with, few seconds ago she was scared of me and now she's trying to get on my nerves, definitely she's my only sister.

"Yes it better does, or I would be suggesting you to see a psychiatrist" she threw the fork in dustbin along with bloody bandages.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to show you my that side, Jack is an asshole, he pushed me way too much" I apologized again.

"Damn it bro. would you stop apologizing to me already, cut the crap I don't want your apologizes" she rolled her eyes while putting bandage on the cuts. Now she's serious before she was teasing, it's not easy to predict girls mood.

"Okay it's going to heal anyway, but keep it away from water" she picked up the first aid box and closed the door.

God once it felt like she has grown up, then she was being a teaser, I'm always distant busy in my own world. Not even my mum tried to clean my injuries instead she did. I've been always distant from everyone in my family except her but that was years ago. I hit my pillow in guilt as pain shot through my hands and I bit my screams back.

I lay down on my bed, and recalled everything that made me happy in my teenage.

ROSE

God my brother is so careless, he broke the plate and twisted the fork without even realizing. His hands bleed but he didn't care. He stood there without any expressions with straight face.

Fortunately, this time he didn't shout at me, and understood that Jack was the one to blame, He didn't growl back at me, and he confessed that he was guilty.

He's been distant all those years and I was always curious about what was going on inside his head. He never talked about it, less he revealed that he couldn't control his anger as well as his wolf. That can be causing trouble.

I must try to make him open up, or I can never help him. I closed the book I was reading. I'll be sixteen, only two years left then I'll be eighteen years old and will have my first shift, what will I be looking like in my wolf form. I shrugged the ugly thoughts off my mind but they keep on coming.

I touched my knees, they had few bruises, the result off crawling under the table. I checked time it was 11p.m and my dad was still giving lecture to my both brothers. My head ached horribly and my eyes itched. I brushed my teeth and hid myself under the blanket, and closed lamp on my side table as sleep took over.

Click…

The voice of door's lock drifted me out of sleep, and I felt shocked at how much my hearing was enhanced. But who would be coming back this much late, I checked outside the window slowly and found no one, sudden fear surrounded me and I pulled out my hair brush and slowly went downstairs and hid myself beside the door, so it would be easy to hit the person.

As he entered I hit hard on the back of his head and a loud hiss came out may be I didn't hit harder. As he took his hoodie down, I realized that it was Nick.

"What the heck Rose, are you trying to kill me why are you up so late?" he whispered while losing grip on my hand.

"It's 3a.m where are you coming from?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"God you little devil, stop investigating me and keep quiet" he pulled me with him towards his room.

"You know if dad got even a single clue about it, he'll beat me with a whip, that's what he always do to control my wolf" he closed the room's door slowly.

"What you're insane, he can never use whip to hit you why would he do that?" I sat on his bed.

"Please don't make this harder than it is, leave it I promise I'll tell you one day" he begged.

"Fine, but if I get that it's a threat or danger, I'll be the one telling dad about it, you better tell me before my patience gave out" I warned him.

"Fine I'll on your sixteenth birthday" his shoulder went down in defeat and he walk towards his bathroom.

"Good night, and always keep that in mind I don't want you to get in trouble so you better stop scratching me to tell what's not important for you to know" he closed the door with bang.

"For God's sake, have some mercy on this poor door, won't stand your anger, and this will very much wake up mom and dad, you're an idiot, there is nothing to be angry on" I replied while getting off his bed.

"Alright then now go to sleep, it's late you shouldn't be awake" he said while opening the bathroom's door again.

"Fine, goodnight" I closed the door slowly so that my parents won't be up and closed all the light bulb so he'll have another surprise for him when he comes out of bathroom.

I should've hit you harder Nicky sicky, well I'm not going to leave it until I get to it's depth, God what's he hiding, I closed my eyes while laying on my bed.

NICK

Thank God she left, I opened the door and found darkness welcoming me, little devil she turned all the lights off. She will never understand why I'm hiding it from her, I sighed as I reached my bed.

I slid under the covers and smiled at how my sister cares about me, she has grown up.

I won't let any harm come to her. I smiled as an unknown satisfaction filled my mind and I felt relaxed after all those years...
