Ashley’s povÂ
Blake clutching my hand in his. His warmth soothes me. “I’m sorry that I caused yÂ
you to skip lunch.” I apologued as we walked back towards the schoolÂ
We only had approximately two minutes left until the bell would ring to end lunch. There wasÂ
apology amusing.Â
“You always come first Ley.” He says squeezing hand. My heart races. “And Twain’t hungry anyway” He shrugs and opens the door.Â
I’m instantly started when a loud pitched familiar scream echoes through the entire hall. I’m stunned as everyone begins to run towards the screamsÂ
and loud shoutsÂ
Blake’s clutched my hand more firmly as we followed the wave of students. The nearer me skin and bones, I wince and nudge my way forward.Â
get to theÂ
loud shouts the more distinct I can hear list NottingÂ
i had a sudden inking feeling that I wouldn’t like what I’ll witness. I readjusted the strap of my bag when someone brushed pass me roughly.Â
“Don’t ever fucking touch her again?” Fear is sucking the life out of me as hear the sound of Arden, my brother. His voice is loud and clear, bringing anyone to their knees if they were the focus of his furyÂ
“Arden stop you’ll kill him!” A high pitch female voice screams in terror. It’s Rosalie. I feel an urge to hurry up and see what was going on.Â
Whatever it was Arden and Rosalie was involved.Â
Blake squeezes my hand as he pushes the people that were in front of us. They parted for him, mostly because they were afraid of him. Who wouldn’t be?Â
I’m horrified to see Arden’s fist pummel into a boy’s face. His jabs are unforgiving as he jams it over and over on the boy’s face. His shirt is torn and hangs limply across his body.Â
Anger is radiating off of him in waves, this prevents anyone from interfering. I’m internally panicking as I see the guy in his arm stop resisting his brutality.Â
“Arden!” I yelled over the loud shouts from the other people circling around the two boys. My eyes dart to the side where a blonde is standing in fright, screaming for Arden to stop. Rosalie. What the hell is going on? The bell rings but no one makes a move to get to classÂ
Before I could even tell him to, Blake is already advancing towards Arden and easily pries him off of the unconscious guy. He’s struggling in Blake’s tight pip but relaxes when he notices it was him.Â
I stride towards him quickly and let out a soft cry of shock at seeing his bloody fist. His lips were torn as the blood trailed down his chin down toh neck. “Arden what-“I couldn’t even finish the question as I look at my angry brother.Â
“He should’ve kept his hands to himself Ho hisses as he glares at the boy on the floor. There are murmurs as everyone looks at Arden. Rollers over to us and hugs him before pulling awayÂ
“You crazy idiot! You could’ve gotten hurt She cries as she scans her eyes over his body, Blake still has a firm grip on Aron Incase he tries to go at itÂ
“I’m not, now am I?” The way he says it was so harsh that flinched. But Rosalie instead glares at him before punching him on his shoulderÂ
“What the hell happened?” I finally got my voice. Rosalie turns to me and bites her lower lip. “Sam playfully squeezed my ass. And master temper over here.” She points a finger at Arden. “Saw it and thought it was a good idea to act like a protective brother”Â
She tums to face Arden and glares. “You fricking gorilla, you beat Sam unconscious!” She hissesÂ
“And I fucking enjoyed it. What, didn’t like me beating up your pussy ass boyfriend?” Arden spits in rage.Â
ery word like it disgusted her to even think of poor Sam in that way.Â
Rosalie gasp. “He’s not my boyfriend!” She spits everyÂ

Chapter 153Â
“Then I don’t see what’s the problem. Unless you enjoyed it?” Arden tone is accusing as he glares at Rosalia. Then it finally down on me that Arden wasn’t doing this as a protective brother, this was more than that. He never hated Rosalie in fact it was the opposite. He was in love with herÂ
Even with the current situation I couldn’t help but push inwardly. That idiot really was trying to hide his feelings. But I could now see it. The flicker of – longing in his eyes as he stared at her.Â
Is this why he never wanted to refer to her as a cousin? Because he knew he loved her? Rosalie and Liam weren’t blood related but they were still faméy and always will be.Â
Sam stirs and groans. The principal takes this exact moment to appear and glares at the four of us. The rest of the students scattered away, none wanting to face Principal William’s rage. “Who’s the cause of this?” He hisses as he points at a very hurt Sam.Â
“That would be me sir.” Arden answers without emotion in his voice. He moves out of Blake’s hold and without the principal having to tell him to head to the office, he does it on his own. His head held high as he disappeared up the stairs.Â
“You” Principal William hisses at Blake. “Take that boy to the nurses office.” He demands and follows after Arden. “The rest of you get to class! He roars over his shoulder. His voice is loud enough to reverberate through the halls of the school,Â
Blake rolls his eyes before doing just as he was told. Slinging Sam’s arm over his shoulder for support he starts to the nurses office not before secretly sending me a wink. Rosalie and I on the other hand stayed rooted where we were.Â
“I don’t get why he was so mad at seeing Sam squeeze my ass. I mean he never showed that he cared about my existence before.” Rosalie whispers beside me. It was like she was asking this question to herselÂ
“Ardon care.” I said solity. He cares a lot.Â
She turns to me and forces out a smile. “I just wish he’d not fight Sam. I’m afraid they’ll suspend him and it be all my fault.” She says sadly I smile sadly knowing that Ardon was surely in a lot of trouble. Dad’s going to kill him.Â
“It’s not your fault Rosalie, it’s Sam’s fault for squeezing your ass without your permission. Or did you?” I trailed offÂ
Rosalie cringes in disgust. “Oh hell no, I’d never let a guy like that touch meÂ
ut to say more when a presence looms behind us.Â
She’s aboutÂ
“So what did I miss?” Ryan questions as he comes in our sight. A small plate of fries in his hand as he stuffs his face. “I heard there was a fight, guess I’m late.” He shrugs with chewed fries in his mouth. I cringe and roll my eyes.Â
