《Control (Book 1 of Control Series)》Chapter 49
Advertisement
I stare at the vacant spot on the couch where Sebastian was sitting before, he left. He left. Why?Why did he leave? Why did he have such an concerned look on his face? More importantly why did I act so vulnerable? No. I shake my head. No need to ask questions I already know the answer to. Did I really have to ask him to pinky swear? I groan and bury my head in my hands. Why am I so embarrassing?
So many questions yet, most of them will most likely never be answered. Just like the ones about the hall I wandered in. I had a feeling I wasn't supposed to go in there but, I couldn't help it. I was curious.
I roll my eyes. That saying is way over used. I know my conscious is right but, that doesn't stop me from brushing it off.
Rattle. Rattle.
I freeze. What was that?
Rattle. Rattle.
Slowly I turn my head to see the door knob rattling, someone struggling to get in. O my gosh. I jump up from the couch and frantically look for a weapon, something to defend myself. Not finding anything else really useful as a weapon, I grab the T.V remote and hold it up as if it were a baseball bat and I was ready to swing.
Rattle. Rattle. Rat-
The door opens and I instantly swing, only to swing at air. What? Confused I look around to see no one there.
"Ruzzz"
I look down and relax when I see Brian looking up at me, clenching and unclenching his tiny little hands. With a smile I bend down and pick him up, setting him on my hip. "Hi Brian," I say. "Hi Ruzzz," he says back and I coo. "What are you doing here," I ask. He doesn't answer and instead points out the door, towards the other hall. The other hall. He goes into the other hall. Why? "Brian why do you go in there," I ask. Brian opens his mouth to say something but, then the door is slammed against the wall and standing in the doorway is a glaring Kyle and a pale faced Riley. "Riry, Kie," Brian exclaims. Riley gives Brian a trembling smile, while Kyle comes up and takes Brian away from me, sneaking on last glare before softening his expression for a giggling Brian.

"Why are you with her," Kyle asks and I gawk at how soft and soothing his voice sounds. Brian points here, shakes his head, points to the other hall and nods his head. A confused look crosses Kyles face and he looks back at Riley questionably but, he just stares at the floor his face concerningly pale. What's wrong with him? I stare at Riley for a few minutes before, Brian speaks. "Wong wa." Kyle freezes and a dark look crosses his face but, is gone just as fast as it came. "What's so important about that hall," I ask, curiosity rearing it's head. "None of your business," he snaps, giving me a glare.
"Tell her."
Kyle's head snaps in Riley's direction his face one of shock. "Why?" Riley shrugs and goes to sit on the end of the couch. It takes a few seconds but, Kyle recovers from the shock and sits down next to Riley positioning Brian on his lap to face the tv that is currently just a blue screen waiting for a new movie to be played. Not wanting Brian to be bored I go to the movie case, open the glass doors and search for a kids movie. There's not many, the movies mostly consisting of gore and action genres. It takes me a few minutes before, I find, finding nemo. "A ha," I exclaim causing Brian to giggle. Smiling at the sound I open the dvd player and trade Aladdin for Finding nemo. I put in the dvd and wait until the movie title-cover thing comes on and press play. Once the movie plays I turn to the couch to see the twins still sitting on the couch, Kyle with Brian in his lap. The only thing different is Brian who instead of playing with Kyle's hair is in trance by the movie I just put on.
I sit down a few spaces away from them and stare at them expectantly. Kyle, seeing the look gives me fierce look full of hatred and I fight back the urge to recoil. Why does he have such hatred for me? Especially since he only saw me about what, 4 times. I sigh. "So what's the story?"

Kyle shrugs. "There isn't one." I give him a dubious look and he shrugs. "There really isn't. There was a girl who once lived there, that died of sickness." I raise a brow. That's all. That's it. Wow, that is a major let down. Not to sound rude of anything but, I expected something more dramatic, more tear jerking. The situation Kyle said could be both those things but, the way Kyle said it was emotionless. Guess that means they didn't know the girl.
"Why did you tell me when earlier you said it was none of my business," I ask and am rewarded with a sneer. "No scratch that why are you so mean towards me when I have done nothing to you?" Riley looks at her in shock and Kyle just grimace. "Because of you Sebastian no longer knows we even exist." I raise a brow, confidence suddenly filling me. "Yeah even when I wasn't here he didn't know that you existed, so actually no it's not my fault." Riley frowns and Kyle bristles. "How dare you?" I don't answer. "You come into my house and act like your all that. You have no idea what it's like not to have anything resembling father love you spoiled littl- Excuse me," I interrupt. How dare he talk to me like this? "I actually do because, my parents only acknowledged me when we had parties and even then I was just dirt under his shoes. You have no idea who I am or what my life has been like. So before you decide to sneer or glare at me get to know me first." By the time I'm done, I'm panting and I realize that I was yelling. I quickly look at Brian afraid I'd scared him but, he's still entranced with the television. I inwardly chuckle. Then I glare at Kyle who looks shocked, his jaw to the floor. If I wasn't trying to act tough I would have let out a giggle.
Kyle's moment of shock is short lived because, soon he closes his mouth and puts a blank look on his face. Riley also recovers from his shock and actually smiles at me. I give a small smile back. "Sorry for what happened between you and our mom," Riley apologizes. "We didn't know she would do that." I nod but, don't accept his apology. Even though they didn't know it would happen, they should've said something, should've stopped her. Instead they stood there and watched and even encouraged their mother. I feel anger bubble inside me and I take a deep breath. Blowing up on them won't do me any good. That talking back and forth with Kyle seems to really have put me on thin ice with him by the look in his eyes. I sigh and sit back and try to enjoy Boss Baby when I realize something. I never told Brian my name.
