"Why was the door to the basement unlocked?"
He turned around to face me.

I was stiff.

I didn't know what to say.

D...does he know...?

I remembered that Tony and I forgot to lock the door again after unlocking it.

SHIT!

"I-I don't k-know what you mean."
I tried not to be nervous for once, but I screwed it.

Dylan looked at me suspiciously while furrowing his eyebrows.

"Our basement was unlocked yesterday even after we locked it."

"A-and what does it have to do with m-me?"

He looked at me with his intimating stare. I was really scared at first till I noticed,

I don't have a reason for being scared.

My courage came up and I got a bit angry again.

"And besides that, I was at Tony's yesterday! Did you already forget it? If you're suspecting me from going into the basement, you're wrong! How should I've done that?"
I said with an attitude.

Of course he was pissed at my attitude, but then he folded his arms and bit his cheek.

After a while of staring at me intensely, he started talking.

"Argh, forget it!"
He turned around and went straight ahead.

I was surprised because I didn't expect this from him. I really thought that he would squeeze the truth out of me.

But I was glad that he didn't do so.

I started walking too but held distance from him, but he stopped again walking.

"Don't tell the others from this conversation."
He spare a glance at me.

It was dark.

Threateningly.

I nodded my head and then he walked straightforward again.

What was that...

Ms.Thompson gestured to the skeleton.

I sat on my seat and sketched some bullshit on my notebook.

My thoughts were completely filled with fear because of Dylan.

I was sure that he suspected me now and this only means that he'll find out the truth later on. I was really scared about that.

I also thought about his last words that he said to me.

Why doesn't he want me to tell my brothers about this conversation?

Shouldn't he even confronted me with this question?

As the frustration became bigger, I only scrabbled on my notebook.

All the way to the biology room we didn't exchange another word. He eventually knew where my biology room was and lead me to it. After that he disappeared as if nothing happened.

{ lunch }

I waited in the cafeteria for Tony. She still wanted to talk with me about Ryan and I was curious as hell.

I already saw Ryan in the cafeteria but I avoided him to see me. So I hid myself every time as he looked into my direction.

I didn't know the actual reason why I did this. I only did this because Tony told me so, but I still didn't know why. I wanted to find it out as soon as possible.

After a while she luckily showed up, but my brothers too.

As my brothers saw me they signalled for me to come over. Tony also saw this and ran to me.

Eventually she ran passed me but still stopped herself to say something.

"We'll meet up at my house at 3pm."

I didn't have the opportunity to response so this meant that I had to go.

I wanted to go.

I started walking towards my brothers and became nervous as I saw Dylan talking to Carter. Both of them looked at me.

Don't tell me Dylan is talking to Carter about earlier...

It would be hell to deal with Carter instead of Dylan.

"Aren't you hungry?"
Ethan asked as I sat down. I didn't have any plate with food on it with me.

I shook my head.

"Alright then."
Grayson said.

The next 15 minutes I only looked at the people, well only at Ryan.

Ethan and Grayson were talking about football with their friends and Dylan was again with his hoe, Scarlett.

They are longer together than I thought...

Carter went out to smoke.

Or even taking drugs.

Argh....

I groaned in frustration. I didn't want to sit by them. I wanted to be with Tony and to know the things with Ryan.

"Isabella."
I looked up at the person who called out for me.

I noticed that the table was only filled with my brothers. The hoe and the friends went away and Carter returned.

"Landon will pick you up after school."
Ethan told me.

Ughh I totally forgot this...

I already knew this and rolled my eyes. I saw Dylan raising one of his eyebrows in suspense. He surely expected a bigger reaction from me.

Right Bella...they don't know that you already overheard it yesterday....

"What?! Why can't I go with you!?"
I shouted while throwing my fist on the table.

Maybe that was too exaggerated...

"No complains. You have to go with him."
Grayson said. I don't know if I imagined it, but his voice sounded sad like he was sorry for me.

I furrowed my eyebrows but then groaned in frustration.

I can't run away from it...
_____________________

*bell*

The school bell rang signalling that school is over now. Normally you would be happy but I was not.

I would face Landon any moment now and I didn't want to. It was clear that he wanted to talk about the slap and this shit. I mean a car ride is the perfect place to do so.

I packed up my stuff and was ready to leave till,

"Wait a moment Bella!"

I turned around to see the person that I tried to avoid so badly.

"Are you avoiding me or something? I saw you at the cafeteria and it seemed like you hid yourself."
Ryan asked me.

"Uhh..."

Am I that bad on avoiding someone?

Or

He's a stalker...

"I mean I only want to know why you're avoiding me. Did I do something wrong? Or did Tony say something?"
His voice got deeper at the last part of his sentence.

"Uhm, no! Omg my brother is waiting for me! I have to go now. See you tomorrow!"

I started running towards the exit door. I'm a hundred percent sure that he'll suspect me now, but I couldn't just deal with it right now.

And I really had a brother waiting for me...

I saw Landon's car and hesitated to go ahead, but unfortunately Landon saw me through the window and signalled for me to come.

I directly made my way to the backseats because I didn't want to sit beside him.

As I opened the door to the backseats he stopped me from going in.

"Come to the front."

He didn't even look at me.

How rude...

I slammed the door shut and went to the passenger seat.

"Your belt."

I furiously grabbed my belt zipped it in.

He's talking like my boss ugh...

He then started the car and drove off.
_________________
15 minutes.

15 minutes already passed and Landon didn't say something till now. All the time I was busy with looking out of the window.

Eventually I sighed and the car stopped.

I looked up and saw that we were caught in a traffic jam.

Are you fucking kidding me now?!

I groaned.

This can't be happening...

"Isabella."
Landon started.

And here it goes...

"I think you already know what I am going to talk about. So I won't beat around the bush. I'm sorry, I'm fucking sorry. I...I really didn't want to...to..."

"To slap me?"
I said while looking at him with no special expression on my face.

"Yes."
He looked down out of guiltiness.

"Well Landon, I can't just forgive you for something like that so easily. You slapped your own fucking sister!"
I shouted at him. I wanted him to know how  hurt I was by his action.

"I...I know. I don't ask for you to forgive me, but I want you to know that...that I am deeply sorry."

I don't know why but I was sorry for him. I could see that he really regret the slap that he gave me, but I just can't forgive him now.

"Give me more time Landon. And I don't want to talk about this topic anymore."

"Alright."
He smiled at me but I didn't smile back which stopped him from smiling.

"But you know..."
I started and this caught his attention.

"I still want to know why you behave so weird around Ryan. I still don't get it."
I couldn't let this topic slide down.

"Not the right time Isabella."
His voice was now deep and not more guilty like earlier.

This meant that I had to shut my mouth. I only sighed, but there was still something that I had to say to him.

I know that I would regret it later on, but I have to.

"Landon, Dylan asked me about the basement. Apparently  it was unlocked."

I badly wanted to know how Landon would react.

"What do you mean?"
He sounded really surprised.

"He had to carry something for me and asked me this question. It seemed like he suspected me from going in there. I mean, how should I have done that? I was at Tony's."
I fake laughed.

"He suspected you?"
His voice was still deep and he looked at the road while driving.

"Yes. He also wanted me not to tell you guys about our conversation, but I don't know why so I just decided to tell you. I hope things aren't bad?"
My voice was extremely fake. I knew that Landon would get pissed but I just played the unknowing little sister.

"No. Don't be concerned."
He told me.

"Okay."

He sounded really calm but I saw him clenching the wheel.

I smirked at satisfaction.
_____________________

"You can already go. I have to do something."
Landon told me as we arrived at the house.

I nodded while grabbing my bag and went out. I was curious about the situation between him and Dylan.

Things are getting intense.

As I entered the house I saw Grayson walking into the basement. He looked over at me but then quickly went on.

Hmm...

I went upstairs to do my homework quickly. I still had to meet up with Tony...

Landon's POV

"You can already go. I have to do something."
I told Isabella.

She grabbed her bag and went out.

As I was sure that she went into the house, I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and started typing.

     Landon:

   Basement, now!

Dylan you motherfucker...
_________________

I harshly opened the door to the office which got the others startled.

I saw him sitting on his seat with his feet on the table. He was randomly playing on his phone.

Without second thoughts I stormed over to him and grabbed him by the collar. His phone eventually fell down.

"Landon?!"
He shouted out of surprise.

I was ready to throw a punch at his face till Luke held my fist.

"What the fuck has gotten into you!"
He screamed at me.

The others were also cornered around us and tried Dylan to free out of my grip.

"This motherfucker went to Isabella and questioned her out!"

I freed my fist out of Luke's hand and punched Dylan right into his nose.

He stumbled backwards and held his nose which started to bleed.

"Are you out of your mind now?"
Caleb asked as he was coming closer to me.

I only ignored him and put my attention on Dylan.

"I told you fucking times that you should keep your fucking suspense for yourself!"
I was ready to throw another punch at him again, but now it was Carter who stopped me.

"You ruined everything!"
I screamed at Dylan and stormed out of the office.

God damnit!

I punched the wall in my room. Now it has a hole in it...
