MiaI should have known that something was up with the way the triplets sat beside me at breakfast today and couldn't take their eyes off me. Well, they hardly took their eyes off me any day and I only always pretended not to notice. Today though was different. They had their eyes on me more than they had on their meals.I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't pretend not to notice this. They were creeping me out. I could barely eat with the intense way they all stared at me. My stomach was getting unsettled with their looks and they were making me lose my appetite.I had noticed that the triplets always did the same thing at the same time and I wondered how they did it. Did they have a meeting before the start of the day about how they were going to behave or they had a telepathic communication between them and they discussed every minute in their heads?I snorted in my head. I hadn't read about wolves having mental communicative abilities and I knew that couldn't be it.Could it be
MiaI knew they weren't going to forgive me if I stopped them from getting some action tonight. It wasn't like I cared if they got laid or not or who they slept with but I figured that I wouldn't have to welcome any unwanted visitor in my bedroom if they got laid and well fucked.I knew what the women were doing. They wanted to get close to me to gain the boys' attention. I snorted. If only they knew that I had no say in who the triplets would like. It wasn't like they would ask for my opinion and I also didn't care to give it.I felt uncomfortable with their fake show of love after a while and was already thinking of a reason to leave after the birthday celebration. The friends of the boys invited me to join them for a drink, and I had no choice but to stay. After that night in high school that I had joined the boys to drink and ended up getting raped by an unknown person, I had stayed off alcohol but tonight I was breaking my promise to myself.The boys were getting social with the
Mia"Fine." Jack sighed, making a signal to one of his friends who were nearby.I didn't care what he had to tell him. Maybe he wanted to tell him to help them extend their farewells to the celebrant since he was nowhere to be found near them.This was the guy next to them and their safest bet. I didn't care what he had to tell him as long as we got home in the next twenty minutes.The guy came over, his eyes sparkling with lust as he looked me over. I could tell that he wasn't drunk or I would have made that as an excuse for him. His eyes were clear though when he turned to direction of the boys and I knew that they hadn't seen what I had seen.What a sly bastards like the triplets, like the ladies who wanted to use me for their own benefit. I had no doubt that anyone who was close to the triplets was a red flag that I needed to avoid."Are you busy, Matt?" Jack asked me."Not really." Matt replied. "Do you need my help?""Of course." Jack replied. "We all need your help. Could you p
John I cursed at her. She was stubborn, too thick-headed for her own good. I couldn't believe that she wouldn't apologize even when she was facing death.Her pride was much more than that of a werewolf. She was strong.Damn, I watched as her struggles in the water grew weaker and she began to sink. "Shit," I cursed to myself.I had thought that she could swim and was only acting dramatic because she wanted us to save her. I knew of ladies who intentionally acted dumb and helpless when guys were present so they could be treated as damsels in distress.I felt stupid. I should have known that Mia wasn't like that. I was perplexed. Who couldn't swim at her age?Before I could do anything, I felt someone whiz past me and I realized that it was Quinn who had jumped into the water to save Mia. His expression was serious as he dove into the water and I glanced back when I heard someone grumbling behind me. I saw a lady scowling and cursing as she picked herself off the ground. Apparently,
John "Mia drowned in a pool." He finally said. "We are at the hospital."Dad must have had his own phone on speaker because I heard Mia's mum shout. "You stupid boys." Dad growled. He was angry and rained a tirade of insults at all of us over the phone, knowing that we were near Quinn and could hear."I told you to take care of her." He fumed. "How did you let her drown?"We couldn't even use the excuse that we wanted to use. We were all ashamed of ourselves and knew we deserved dad's raging words."Which hospital are you dummies at?"Quinn told him and he clicked off the call. When he arrived at the hospital, he angrily scolded us, berating us for not protecting Mia.We hung their heads, remaining silent. We knew how precious Mia was to dad but we didn't know he would flare up this much. Mia's mother was the one who felt sorry for us and tried to calm our father's emotions. "What happened at the party?" Dad asked, looking at all of us but no one was willing to talk.We were sorry
MiaSorry? I blinked at them in surprise. I wished that I wasn't so tired, I wanted to use my finger to clean out my ears. I wasn't sure that I had heard that right. I didn't know them to be someone who could apologize.What was going on? What had gotten into them? This was surely not the boys that I knew.I arched my eyebrows at them and they didn't laugh or snicker in amusement as they would have done earlier. They still looked miserable as they were when I opened my eyes minutes ago and saw them. Okay, this was new and unexpected. "What do you want?" I asked, frowning at them.We should get this suspense done with."We are sorry." John repeated.I sighed. Why weren't they sorry when I was dying? Why weren't they sorry all those years? Why were they sorry now?"Did you bring me to the hospital?"They nodded. I continued with my questioning. "Is my mum here? Is your dad here?""Yes." They replied.I nodded. No wonder that they were here with me, waiting for me to wake up. I doubted
MiaThe departure of the triplet brothers allowed me to regain a brief sense of freedom in the house.I wasn't happy to see them leave because of the hard mission they were going to partake in but I was relieved when they were going.I could see how sorry they were when they were leaving. Even as they were packing their loads into the car, they still had their eyes on me and they seemed like they were still begging for my forgiveness.I hated the way they looked tortured and wondered why they were desperate for my forgiveness. What was in it for them?Their dad was still mad at them and wouldn't even go out to bid them goodbye. It was only mum and I who had stood outside, watching them pack. Mum had tried so hard to find out from Albert why he was mad at the boys but he wouldn't say anything to her.I didn't blame him. How was he to tell her? What was he to say? I also pretended to not know anything about the matter and eventually, mum gave up on it, hoping that the father and sons w
Six Months LaterMiaI was back home, on a visit to my mum. It was my leave period and I decided to spend it at home. I didn't know that I was going to miss my mum and Albert as much as I did but I did. Maybe it was the attachment from being with my mum Al through childhood but I certainly ached with her absence and calling he every night before I slept became a remedy for me, a cure for my loneliness.Even with the guys I went on dates with and Sasha there to keep me company, I still missed my mum. I missed Albert. I missed what it was like to have a full family at a table when I had to eat. I missed what it was like to have someone to walk through a garden with when I was bored and had to take a walk. I missed hearing sounds of people talking, laughing, walking and going about their business when I felt my apartment was too silent. I missed a lot of things about home and I wondered if this was because I didn't go far away from home when I was in college.Maybe if I had done, I woul
