I held Jason down with my knee on his chest, his sweater filling my fist, my other delivering a second blow to his nose. That's when I couldn't contain myself any longer and spilled the secret that had been hurting me for three weeks and the secret that would break my sister's heart. The look on her face will somehow haunt me forever. She was confused, hurt, betrayed and I was a part of it.

"Lukas! What are you talking about?" She said, wiping away the tears on her confused face. No matter how hard I tried to protect her she would always end up hurt, but I could only hope she wouldn't take it out on Isabella.

"He has been cheating on you for more than a month, who knows even longer." I said, shaking my head, ashamed that I held onto that secret for that long, only now realizing how wrong that sounds and probably is. She shook her head, her eyes holding a familiar anger, the same as mine when I get upset and broken. She came at me and I deserved everything that she was about to do or say. "Mia, I'm sor-"

"Not talking to you right now!" She yelled, while her tiny hands grabbed my shirt and yanked me off Jason and he scrambled to his feet to tower over her, his nose bleeding but his posture not regretful at all about the truth getting out. "Jason! Is it true?" She asked fiercely, not a hint of sadness left on her face.

I wanted to punch the smirk off his smug face as he tried to make fun of the situation. "What do you want me to say? Sure, it's true." He shrugged his shoulders. Arrogant ass, I swear if he makes this even harder for her, I'm going to fucking k- Bella's hand grabbing mine pulled me away from the violence and anger building in my head. Her thumb rubbed over the palm of my hand in an attempt to calm me down and like always she managed to be my eye of the storm, where it was calm when everything around it catastrophic.

Mia's anger, on the other hand, was reaching its top when her hand smacked across Jason's cheek. "You have the guts to come here and rant about me coming out of Ben's room, when you have been fucking someone else for months? Who is she huh?" She pointed her finger at his chest.

"Which one?" He shook his head, admitting it wasn't just one girl he had been sleeping with. Prick! Even I thought it was only one, but this was so much worse than I expected.

"Which one? Are you kidding me! Why!?" She yelled while pushing at his chest and he let her, as if he didn't even care about his lies anymore.

"Just because Mia! Because you weren't enough I guess!" He pulled up his brows as he scoffed at her. The way he acted was completely out of line and I felt like I needed to do something, my entire body tense because of how Jason was still treating her.

"Let them work it out Lukas." Bells whispered at my side, squeezing my hand, slightly pulling me further away from them.

"Oh, so than you just go fuck other girls! Seriously Jason! Did it ever occur to you to just break up with me?!" She growled with frustration, throwing her hands in the air in front of her.

"Same way it didn't occur to you not to break up before sticking your tongue down Ben's throat!" Jason yelled and even though I hated his guts and everything about him, he had a point. Why Ben though!!

"It just happened! I was drunk and I felt something, something I haven't felt in a long time because you have been treating me like shit lately. At least now I know why! But you don't get to make me feel guilty about it when you did even worse! I didn't have sex with Ben! We just fucking kissed!" She yelled, rolling her eyes at him but it only made him more annoyed. She fucking kissed my best friend.

He shook his head frustrated, his hand pushing away her finger poking at his chest. "Mia, I don't know what's worse! Me just fucking around, just for sex, or you actually hanging with him, kissing him and actually feeling something!" He widened his eyes and his words made me look at Bells thinking that if she would cheat on me just for sex or kiss someone with feelings attached what would hurt me more. Both of them would crush me, both of them just as hurtful, that last one maybe a bit more painful.

"I don't know what to feel Jason! If you had treated me right, I wouldn't have had to find love elsewhere! Love! All I needed was to be loved! You, just wanted sex, that shows that you're just the superficial ass I always knew you were. And it wasn't just once, it was months! You have been lying to me straight in the face for months! I felt fucking guilty about that kiss, do you even feel guilty at all?" She yelled again, tears starting to build up in the corners of her eyes even though she wanted to be strong. My mom was straight on crying at this point, my dad comforting her on the other side of the kitchen island. This is so fucking messed up!

"I don't know Mia." He looked at the floor, avoiding to look at her, his hands in his pockets. "I love you, I do." She said looking up, guilt staining every part of his expression.

"Just not enough." She whispered, looking at his avoiding stare as a tear rolled over her cheek. Even I was feeling her hurt, swallowing the lump in my throat so I couldn't imagine how she must have felt.

"I'm sorry." He shook his head, pacing towards her, opening his arms to pull her into a hug. Fuck, love is complicated sometimes but if I were her I wouldn't hug the son of a bitch. All of this made me appreciate everything Bella and I have, making me think twice before ever doing something stupid. When his hand touched her to pull her into his arms, she shrugged it away. After everything he did, I understand her yet felt for him because he was feeling more guilty than he led on. "Mia..." He pleaded, quickly swallowing his emotions.

"Just go home Jason. It's over." Mia shook her head and avoided his gaze, trying to hold back her tears. She crushed his last bits of hope and she had every reason to do so if that was how she felt. But what kind of hope was he holding on to if she wasn't enough?

Jason sighed deeply. "Fine." He said, sounding guilty and broken as his voice cracked with emotion before turning around and making his way out of the kitchen. As soon as Mia heard the front door slam shut, she turned around and paced over to mom and dad, falling into dad's arms as she sobbed against his chest.

"It's okay baby." He whispered before kissing her hair, his hands rubbing her back. It's not the worst heartbreak I have seen her go through, seeing she also made a mistake here but that doesn't matter. If it hurts, it hurts. I looked down at Bells, her glassy green eyes meeting mine. She was silently crying, trying to hide it from everyone and I faced her, gently rubbing the tears from her cheeks before pulling her into my side.

"Here a glass of water Honey." Mom said, handing over a glass of water to Mia. She lifted up her head from dad's chest and put the glass to her lips, like she was drowning all the pain she drank half of it at once.

The makeup on her eyes was smudged, just as ruined as her. "It's okay mom. It'll hurt for a while but at least now I know what was going on with him. Not knowing was worse than the truth." And her words stung like a bitch. "Talking about the truth. You're a fucking liar Lukas!" She yelled, walking over to me and splashing the rest of her water in my face. Alright, I deserve that. I was just in time to step away from Bells, preventing her to get splashed too.

"Mia, I'm sorry." I said, putting my hands on her shoulders but she was fuming, her fists balled and knowing she had the Davis temper I knew this wasn't good.

"Why did you fucking lie!" She nearly spit at me, her voice loud and hurt at the same time as she shrugged my hands of her shoulders.

"I wanted to protect you. If this was anything like your last breakup your entire schoolyear would have been ruined, and you were already behind on some classes." I tried to convince her, grabbing her shoulders again as water dripped of my hair. "I'm sorry I thought that telling you here with mom and dad was best." I tried, I really tried but she pulled back again, stepping away from me.

"How did you know?" She said dry and stern avoiding to look me in the eye, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Ben called me, he told me h-"

But before I could explain she cut me off, closing her eyes with anger as she shook her head. "He knew too? Gosh! You all fucking knew?! I'm sure you had a good laugh behind my back about it, didn't you!?" She pushed me back with a lot of force for someone so little, the betrayal feeding her adrenaline. "And you? did you know too?" She frustratedly turned around to meet Bella who looked lost and distraught.

Bells frowned her brows, no longer able to contain her emotions as she burst out in tears, the burden of keeping this a secret flowing out all at once. "M-Mia I-" She stuttered but didn't even get the chance to finish.

My sister scoffed at her and Bells took it as an insult as her eyes continued to tear up. "So that's a yes! You backstabbing b-"

"Mia, don't." I tried to stop her from saying something hurtful. Be angry at me, not at her! We had it coming, I know we did but still Bells wasn't the cause of all of this, and something told me Mia didn't see it like that.

"You know, from Lukas I could have expected it! He's the king of lies, but you!" She completely ignored me and pointed her finger at Bells, scoffing with loath in her voice. This is not okay! "You're supposed to pick my side, you're my best friend! Or at least you were!" And at that, Bella took a step back, her back hitting the kitchen island. She not only looked at a loss of words but also trapped. I needed to do something because as much as I love my sister I couldn't stand the look in Isabella's eyes, like she was scared. She buried her face in her hands as Mia continued to yell at her. "I don't know what hurts more, being betrayed by Jason or by you! I was honest to you about my problems with him and how I felt! You listened to me complaining, doubting myself and you did nothing! Nothing! You could have told me a dozen of times, but you didn't!" Mia yelled, hitting the marble counter, startling Bells which made her look up, her eyes completely wet with a waterfall of tears staining her cheeks. She clearly didn't know what to say. It was either that or she knew nothing she could say would change this fucked up situation.

"Mia enough!" I yelled, stepping between both of them, my back facing Bells, her faint sobs coming from behind absolutely killing me.

"Don't Mia me Lukas!" She pushed at my chest, stepping next to me to face Bella once more. "Get out of this house! You're not welcome anymore." She yelled at her, pointing at the door and I shook my head with anger. What the fuck no!

"Screw you Mia, that's not up to you! She's my girlfriend!" I yelled at her unable to try and protect her broken heath any longer. I get she's hurting but this is not Bella's fault, and everything is being taken out on her. It's bullshit to kick her out over this, it's not her decision to make. If she has to leave, I'm going too.

"I don't care! I don't want her around me! She's a liar and a cheat and above all a bad fucking friend! I would never do that to her!" She yelled, shaking her head, sighing with frustration.

"I asked her to keep it a secret, she wanted to tell you, but I told her not to. Don't be mad at her, it's not her fault!" I yelled, taking Bella's hand. She had a blank stare on her face as the tears kept rolling down her cheeks and it looked like she was holding her breath. Just completely shut down. Fuck this! She doesn't need to get hurt over this too when it's Jason who decided to put his dick in someone else and I made her keep this a secret.

"It's never her fucking fault! Stop protecting her Lukas! You're family, she's not, she's not welcome here anymore." Mia yelled, looking over at our parents who were just as shocked by her hard words as I was.

"I didn't give her much of a choice Mia, do you even hear yourself! You're being unreasonable! You're best friends!" I yelled, directing all my anger into my fist as I balled it firmly while my other hand squeezed Bella's, trying to pull her out of her thoughts.

Mia shook her head again, and although she was angry, more like furious, at was all an act, acting as if she didn't care, her own words were hurting her tongue to say them out loud. "I don't care Lukas! I'm no longer interested in being friends with that lying bitch!

"Fucking watch it Mia, because your acting like a bitch too!" I couldn't control myself an grabbed her arm, desperately trying to make her stream of insults and bullshit stop. This is fucking getting out of hand.

She tried to pull her arm away, but I wasn't just going to let this slide. "Oh, stop it Lukas she could have chosen me over you and told me the truth but she didn't, so I guess I never was much of a friend! She'll always choose you over me!" Mia yelled straight at Bella, her words cutting deeper than she thought she would as Bella widened her eyes and parted her mouth with chock.

"That's not true, I just wanted to protect you! I didn't mean for any of this to happen!" She raised her voice through her tears after biting on her tongue for too long, holding it all in for the last five insults.

"Don't tell me what's true! You're not going to lecture me about the truth when all you did was lie!" Mia huffed, pointing a finger at Bella's face, her eyes pleading to be forgiven.

"Mia, please I didn't want you to get hurt." Bells tried to say through her sobs. Baby... I could feel how tense she was, squeezing my hand and trying not to panic, confrontation always seemed to bring back some trauma for her.

"Newsflash I did get hurt! I didn't only lose my boyfriend today, but I also lost my fucking best friend! And you betraying me, hurt me the most! Now get the fuck out of my house! I don't ever want to see you again!!" Mia yelled, raising her hand, wanting to smack it across Bella's face but I grabbed her wrist before she could. No fucking way! If you do you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

"What the fuck Mia! Really?" I said, disappointment and anger coating my voice before clenching my jaw. Sister or not nobody lays a hand on my girlfriend, not anymore! She didn't even seem sorry in the way she pulled her wrist from my hand, only anger in her expression.

"Mia ple-" Bella tried but her words were cut short.

"Get out Bella! Now!" Mia yelled at her face leaved her so distraught she sharply gasped through her sobs, her lip trembling with sadness and I felt her hand slip from mine, yanking it away as she quickly paced past Mia. "And oh yeah I really fucking hope my brother cheats on you one day. You'll know exactly how I feel!" Mia yelled after her at the top of her lungs, getting rid of all the frustration at once but ruining the best friendship she ever had with it.

Bells. My stomach turned when I saw her leave the kitchen, the front door slamming shut briefly after that. I wanted to run after her, but I was too angry to leave without saying anything to Mia.

"That wasn't fucking necessary! You can be such a fucking hurtful mean bitch sometimes! She cares about you and you're too dumb to see that. If you want to be angry at someone, be mad at me, not her. Jesus this isn't her fault!" I put my hands on Mia's shoulders trying to shake some sense into her.

"Yes it is! She lied to me!" She cried, turning her anger into sobs or maybe she just now realized what she had done.

"So did I" I shook my head at her hoping my parents would say something but when we were little and we fought they would always let us work it out so that hasn't changed much when we got older.

"You're my brother." She whined, exhaling.

"She's my girlfriend!" My voice almost cracking when thinking about how I was going to pick up the pieces of my broken Isabella.

"And I never should have been okay with you screwing my best friend, but I did anyway because you were happy and all you two did was lie to me! Everybody lies to me!" She shook herself out of my hands, letting them fall to my side.

"That doesn't give you a reason to insult her like that and wish the worst upon her Honey." Mom finally interrupted us for the love of god.

"Mom whose side are you on!?" Mia yelled, disbelief on her face as she dramatically dropped her jaw.

"You and Lukas are both my children I won't pick sides. They did lie and they never should have but-"

"But what? You know what! I don't want to hear it!" She cut off our mom and scoffed at the air, shaking her head and letting out a loud scream as she ran out of the kitchen. I know she's hurt; I know that's why she's acting like this and I know it's my fault. I know too many people became collateral damage because of keeping this a secret. I know, but this was ridiculous and beyond what I expected.

"Lukas, go find Bella, she seemed pretty upset. You know we don't want her to leave right." Mom said, sadness filling her expressing, as she looked at my dad, who nodded at me.

"I know but I'm going to take her home. I'm sorry to ruin brunch and for hurting Mia but I really thought It was best to tell her here with you guys." I shook my head, water droplets still falling down my forehead from the water Mia splashed in my face.

"And we'll try to calm her down and drive her to campus tomorrow. Just let her rage for a moment, she's upset, and she has every reason to be." Dad tried to be the reason in the situation, helping where he could. And he was right she had a reason. If I put myself in her shoes I would have acted even worse, I would have demolished the entire kitchen if I found out Bells had cheated on me and everyone knew about it, but still her hurtful words towards Bella still stung, especially knowing she tried so hard to convince me to tell her the truth.

"Thanks." I nodded and walked out of the kitchen, quickly running upstairs to gather our stuff from my room.

With the bags in my hand I opened the front door, finding Bells sitting at our doorstep, her knees pulled up, and her arms folded on top of them. Her head was buried in her arms and I could hear her sob against her skin. After putting the bags down I crouched down next to her, lacing my hand through her hair. "Come on baby, we're going home." She shrugged me off and continued to cry. Her heartbreak audible in ever sob, breaking my heart with it. "Come on Bells. It's okay."

"I don't have a home Lukas!" She let out between her sobs, the sound of her words shattering me like they put a knife through my guts. I hate to see her cry, especially when I'm the reason, and I am, not Mia, not Jason, me. I should have never pulled her into this mess, not now I know she's the one getting hurt to the point she feels like she doesn't belong anywhere.
