“Huh?” | cried out as | sat up, my heart flying into my throat. My siblings instantly noticed the panicked
expression on my face snd narrowed their eyes at me.
“Why do you sound that way? Don’t tellyou already broke up with your boyfriend.” Hugo drawled, his eyes
watchinglike a hawk.
“And don’t tellthat’s because of that Marco dude. That fucking bastard.” Raven added in a sharp voice and |
wondered how I'd ever get to tell them about Marco once we officially get together. They clearly hated him so
much, way more than Gregg did and that’s saying a lot.
“I... well...” | began but trailed off, unsure of how to respond. Memories of our last call flashed through my mind,
whereby | told them | had a boyfriend cause | wanted them to stop being worried aboutwhile | was at
Marco’s wedding. They had asked to meet him and | had agreed, but right now that Zane and | were done with
that pretense, | was at a loss of what to say.
“Addison? Please don't tellyou dumped the poor dude because of your love sickness for that asshole,
especially now that he’s already married.” Tristan spoke again, his gaze narrowed and | exhaled slowly. | badly
wanted to tell them that Marco was also in love withlike | was in love with him, and that he ended his
wedding because of me!
But | forced myself to hold those words in. There's all freak out if | start saying that right now.
And telling them that | broke up with my supposed boyfriend was gonna make them start to worry and fuss over
| could easily tell them I lied about having a boyfriend later, | was sure they'd forgiveafter a bit. As the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyoungest, they all have a soft spot for me, so | have nothing to be worried about.
“You've all got it wrong. I'm still with my boyfriend and we're very kind.” | breathed out and made sure to grin as
well. They didn’t instantly buy it and all narrowed their eyes at me.
“Are you lying to us right now?” Raven demanded, clearly the most suspicious of them all.
“Why would | lie? | have no reason to | responded but she still had her eyes narrowed as she looked over my
face.
“You took so long to respond Hugo pointed out this time. “Is this boyfriend a living being or an imaginary one?”
He added and | winced.
Ouch.
| guess | do deserve that.

“I'm serious guys, why are you all doubting me?” | whined and they all huffed.

“What's his name? And isn’t there a picture?” Raven demanded and | bit my lip, feeling stuck, cause | didn’t
predict them asking for a name.
What do | do? At this point, it was too late to backtrack.
With a sigh, | exhaled before speaking. “It’s... Zane.”
They all hummed, their eyes still holding slight doubts.
“And are you still bringing him over for dinner soon?” Tristan asked this tand | nodded.
“He’s busy though, but as soon as he makes time, we'll cvisit.” | mumbled and they all nodded.
“That's good. And | hope he’s treating you well?” Tristan added, but before | could respond, Hugo was chirping in.
“What Tristan meant was that he hopes this boyfriend is treating you way better than that asshole Marco ever
did.”
| chewed at the inside of my mouth for a bit as my mind briefly wandered. Marco had his shortcomings, but he
wasn't as bad as my siblings and Gregg do this. Besides back then he was young and immature, now, he’s grown
and would undoubtedly treatway better.
“Earth to Addison.” Raven crooned, pullingback to the present, and | exhaled as my gaze focused on my
siblings again.
“Yeah, he’s really treatinggood, | promise” | finally responded, and that seemed to have satisfied them cause
after that, they all switched to a topic about our mother’s health.
After a few more minutes, we all promised to speak again in a few days, then the line went dead.
| groaned after the call, and | turned on my stomach as my eyes glanced outside the window.
Now that | am back home, | have to resmy shitty job. I literally don’t have another choice. My leave ended
today, and if I don’t go in for work tomorrow, it would be deducted from my pay tomorrow, and | couldn’t afford
for that to happen, not with how much bills I have to pay each
month.
Aside from my own personal bills, | also have to set aside a little amount for my mom's sickness treatment. She
has cancer, and although my older siblings take on most of the burden, | still contribute the token | can afford
each month.
The only thing | was looking forward to this week, was meeting Marco in two days after he returns
to LA.
I'm not gonna tell anyone that we were meeting in two days, none of them would understand

anyway and they’d never approve.
But they'd have no choice but to do that at the end of the day, cause now that Marco has returned into my life, |
wouldn't let him slip through my fingers again no matter what.
With that thought in mind, I did all my tasks with a light heart and a hearty mood. My mood flattered a little
while | unpacked the rest of my stuff cause | ended up thinking about Zane once again, but I quickly shoved him
to the back of my mind before replaying his image with that of Marco, then everything felt normal once again.
When | went to sleep that night, it was with a smile on.
