Chapter 29

**

The door closed behind me as I entered. I can be sure that I looked like a deer caught in headlight. I gulped and stared at my brothers nervously. I scratched the back of my neck and walked towards the living room, where everyone was waiting.

"Is..is something wrong?" I asked, trying to act innocent.

"Oh," Blake replied. "I don't know. Maybe that when Will came to your room at night to talk only to find out that you were missing? We searched everywhere and didn't seem to find you."

"I may have been on the fourth floor. You aren't allowed to come there." I reasoned.

"You think we didn't think of it?" Ethan asked, raising his eyebrow.

"We did. And if you forgot we have an intercom on the fourth floor to call you. We tried. No answer."  Nate answered.

"Well, then. What do you want to talk about?" I asked, looking straight at Will.

Will clenched his jaws and stepped forward towards me. No matter how much I love him, I also love my freedom. But before he could reach me, Ryan came in between us.

"I'll talk to her." He said to Will. "You can talk then."

Will looked at me once, before nodding and turning around to stalk off. Ryan turned to me and pulled me up the stairs. I looked down to see the rest of my brothers in a heated discussion. Dad still laughing, but this time along with Mom. Such traitors, they are.

I sighed as Ryan took me to their game room. He pulled me in and closed the door while I sat down on the couch. He returned and his expression was different.

"Where were you?" He asked while pacing in front of me.

"I was out." I replied.

He stopped and stood in front of me. "Do you know how worried we were? Will came to your room and you weren't there. You didn't even come down to eat food. What were you thinking?"

"Well, I was thinking about me." I stood up, angrily. "Maybe, I was thinking about how I like freedom. How I want to go out like everyone else without always answering about where I am going. Like everyone, when I sneak out, I want my Dad and brothers' to ground me, but then later we all have a good laugh about it instead of always coming home and having people shout at you that you didn't do what I told you to. I'm a person too. You can go out with your friends and I can't. What type of logic is this? Ever thought about how I felt. I love you guys to death that's why I never say anything, but I what to live too. I want to experience too. And if being a Wilson stops me, then I don't want to be a Wilson."

I stared at Ryan with my tear filled eyes. I just turned around and opened the door. I looked up and saw the rest of my brothers there too along with Will and my parents. I just glared at them and ran towards my room on the fourth floor.

Shutting the hallway door, I entered the corridor with four rooms. I opened the music room, since music is the only way to calm me down. The room was like a studio. At one end was the recordings room and the other end was filled with all the instruments. Guitar being my favourite.

But now, I didn't feel like playing guitar, so I choose piano. I played all the keys at once and smiled at the sound. Wiping my eyes, I sat down on stool. It's been a while since I played piano. I thought of a song to play. The song I use to play on the piano most of the time was Christina Perri's, A thousand years. I decided to play that same song.

I closed my eyes and let my fingers take over. Soon after the song was over, I walked out of the music room feeling a lot better. I still didn't want to go down. I skipped school, so I can guarantee that my phone is going to burst from all the calls that I might receive from Amber, Alex and Chris. Lucky me, I haven't kept my phone on charger.

The next stop was my painting room where I was painting us. There was a single bed, so I jumped on the bed and laid down there. It was all silent as I just laid there doing nothing.

Soon about an hour later, there was a buzzing noise. I looked up to see the intercom that was in my room. I pressed a button and waited for the person to speak.

"Can you come down?" I heard Mom's voice.

"I don't want to!" I exclaimed.

"Please baby," she said, softly.

I sighed, my shoulder dropping in defeat. "Fine. I'll be there."

With that I got up from my misery and walked down in the living room where I assume all must be waiting. As soon as stepped down the last step and turned to face them, my first glance went to Will and then to Dad. I glared at him. All he gave me was a sheepish smile. I rolled my eyes and took a seat on the single couch.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Ryan, Blake and Ethan frowning. They had a seat for a person next to them, which I assume was for me. Oh well, too bad!

"You called." I spoke, looking at Mom.

She glanced around and nodded. "We want to talk."

I looked at her, expectantly. I bit my lips as I saw Will move a little forward in his seat. Oh, lord? He is going to speak right?

"Well.." he said, but stopped. I furrowed my eyebrow at him.

"Well what?" I asked, confused.

Ethan sighed. "We came to know that you were out with Ashton the whole night."

"Thanks for being so blunt, Ethan." Will scoffed.

"What?" Ethan exclaimed. "You weren't saying anything. And waiting for you to say is quite annoying."

"I am not annoying." Will said annoyed, but the look in his eyes told me he was hurt.

"Will, can I talk to you?" I asked softly, looking at him.

Everyone leaned forward, waiting for me to speak. Jesus!

"I mean alone." I gave them a point look.

Will nodded, but didn't say anything. I got up along with Will and moved to the dining room and from there out at the back to the family swing. I sat down and patted Will to sit next to me.

Both of us didn't say a word. But I knew I had to. "I'm sorry."

He swung his head to my direction, but I kept my gaze in front. "Why are you sorry? I am the one who would always restrict you from going somewhere. When you talked to Ryan about it, I heard it. And honestly, I know I am wrong. But I can't leave you. I don't want to. You are my baby sister. I know I have to give you privacy to enjoy your life. And also give a chance to that boyfriend of yours. But it's difficult."

I chuckled the way he said boyfriend. Shaking my head, I turned to him. "Yeah, maybe you were wrong, but you were doing this for my own good and I'm always about freedom, not realising that you actually do give me. You let me go out. I know I shouldn't have said all that, but I was angry as my six brothers were standing there, waiting to attack. It kinda got me more angry."

"I'm sorry too." He said, sincerely.

"I know. I'm sorry for being a brat." I mumbled.

"You're not a brat. Just tell me, inform me before disappearing like that. It scares me." He said in a small voice.

"I won't do it again." I promised. "But you know, Dad knew that I was going somewhere. He actually caught me near the gate."

Will mouth fell open. "That little..."

I laughed, knowing what was coming now. Oh! Dad, you're so dead.

"I was literally on the verge of hyperventilating and he didn't even say anything?" He muttered angrily.

"You're scared for me way too much, Will." I pointed, not liking the fact.

"Yeah, because I was the one who found you in that condition years ago." He scoffed.

I looked down. "Yeah. I know."

"Are you...Are you ever going to tell me what happened that day?" He asked, cautiously.

My eyes burnt from tears, but I couldn't let them out. I never told what happened that day to anyone. Afraid that they might think I'm not strong enough. I know, they are my family, but I just couldn't. That day wasn't the best day. And I don't want that day in my memory when I talk.

"Come on. You have to scold Dad. He knew and didn't tell anyone of you. Come on, let's go in." I tried to change the subject and got up from the swing.

I walked towards the house, not before hearing Will sigh. He tried to talk to me about that night. But me being stubborn I am, won't tell him anything. He came to my side and swung his arms around my shoulder. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow while he just grinned.

"I'm going to chop off Dad." He grinned. I laughed. Oh! This going to be fun.

We walked back inside, laughing. As soon as we stepped into the living room, Will's expression changed. He stomped off to where Dad was standing. Dad looked like deer caught in headlight when he saw Will coming towards him.

"You knew!" Will pointed out, accusingly.

"What are you talking about, Will? Ryan asked, walking towards Dad.

"Gwen was sneaking out, Dad knew about it. In fact, he was there near the gate." Will said, glaring at Dad.

"And you didn't say anything?" Mom screeched, feigning ignorance. Dad had already told her as she was laughing with him before.

"Baby?" Dad looked at me, pleadingly.

I sighed and went over to Dad. "Come on. It's fine. He should have told something."

"Yeah and he didn't." Mom narrowed her eyes at him while Dad glared at her.

"And had all of us worried," Max joined in.

"On the verge of crying." Blake stated.

"Who was on the verge of crying?" I asked, curiously.

All the boys looked away, blush rising on their cheeks. Dad looked as if he was about to burst into laughter. Oh, lord!

"Imagine, if I didn't know about her whereabouts, we all would have been worried so much. Atleast I knew and I wasn't worried. I knew she was safe. And I'm started to like that Ashton kid. He is making my baby happy, so I'm not worried." Dad reasoned.

Will perked up on hearing Ashton's name. Over-protective mode on. "But what if he messes it up. What if he breaks her heart? Since, he is friends with Ryan; I'm not trusting on him being loyal to her."

"Hey!" Ryan protested. But one glare from Will and he shrieked back, knowing it was true.

"Then, what? Sure he is making her happy, but I'm not trusting anyone with her. No matter how much Gwen says otherwise. I won't allow it. I will have a talk with him." Will ordered.

I sighed. I don't think there is a way out of this. "Okay. I'll tell him to meet you tomorrow. It seems today won't be possible. Is that okay?"

"Yeah. I guess, that will be okay." Will nodded. I was having a feeling in the pit of my stomach. It wasn't good. Something isn't good.

Will had this determination in his eyes that was scaring me to death. My heart was beating fast. Please, don't let anything bad happen.

But sure, it wasn't going to happen how I want. Nothing can happen the way I want. And it had to go wrong. As it sure did.
