Jessie

Nathan and Rachel were unusually quiet this morning. Nathan was chewing his pancake very slowly, as if disgusted by it. But I tasted the pancakes many times, and it tasted alright, I guess.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAbCY3LTjk2N
Rachel, on the other hand, was playing with the fork in her hand, her eyes fixed on the untouched pancake in front of her, unblinking and narrowed.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAekY7FFe1tz
The siblings didn't utter a word, they were both avoiding each other's gaze, though they were sitting beside each other.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAcfOjJHDRTd
I stared at Rachel, then at Nathan. Trying to figure out what the problem is between them.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAVfOncO1Mp8
Dave seemed like he had noticed the thick tension between these two, because he kept trying to make a conversation, but all of his attempts failed.
583Please respect copyright.PENANA7qSayqODis
"Jessie?"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAMOSjhJeN4B
"Yeah" I said. And stared at the three of them, who were also staring at me, all of them looking confused.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAAmj4RaVZmH
"Did... You guys call my name?" I mumbled, wondering if I misheard again.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAM7AIaj8jDr
Nathan and Rachel shook their head, and looked away from me to do what they were doing or thinking of, before I interrupted them.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAnRuzhcIKGR
I frowned and stared at Dave, who shook his head too. Smiling sheepishly.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAkocZ5Md0l3
Weird.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAbYixdX11Qu
I shrugged and continued eating my breakfast. However, someone was knocking on the door hard. Scaring the shit out of me. I almost choked on the tea I was sipping on and got up to get it.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAevwFAYkLrm
I ran to open the door, which I swear was about to break by whoever was knocking on the door this hard.
583Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pajkr2VBj
I slowly and cautiously opened up the door, I gasped when I saw who it was.
583Please respect copyright.PENANA29ljr60BWC
She was glaring at me, fuming, eyes red, and lips twitching from anger.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAJAHhlZl4yh
"Where's Rachel?" Emma snapped and walked past me, her shoulders hitting mine hard, nearly making me fall hard on the ground. But I thankfully got back my balance, and followed her quickly.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAGc5MV8mZpr
"Rachel?" Emma kept calling my friend's name at the top of her lungs.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAXFgICsLrcJ
I followed Emma'a voice nervously, which came from the living room right beside the kitchen.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAEcZJ9rXI1W
I hurriedly walked to the kitchen, to find Rachel wide eyed,furious, and standing up when she saw Emma in our apartment.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAPzeRA3Coe1
Dave's eyes were wide too and his jaw nearly hit the ground.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAeP2VpA8scX
Nathan looked very bored and unaffected by Emma's presence in our home though.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAkKA7dCFOTS
"What the hell are you doing here?" Rachel hissed, fuming and gritting her teeth from anger.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAXVDl1oeb6D
"Did you speak to Samuel?" Emma said, in a calmer voice, ignoring Rachel's question.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAEMF3aHMq3y
Rachel rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms over her chest.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAsY5HkgL2zF
"Why the hell should I speak to your boyfriend?" Rachel asked, raising an eyebrow.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAxKKt0muzmF
"Did you , or didn't you?" Emma asked, in a warning voice.
583Please respect copyright.PENANANmrsvaNsxE
"So?" Rachel said, totally enjoying Emma's annoyance.
583Please respect copyright.PENANARGrVHkJ7sA
"I said, Have. You. Talked. To.Him?!" Emma yelled, making me flinch. And making Nathan glare at her, but still looking unaffected. And without any reaction. Or so I thought.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAgdrqItxD4U
"No!" Rachel yelled back, "I haven't, are you happy now?"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAdjkXQSLQrb
Emma's breathing was shaky, as she stared at Rachel. Her eyes were on me now, making me take a step back and swallow the lump in my throat.
583Please respect copyright.PENANA0xezcFHYCI
I have never seen Emma stare at me like that, well... I have never seen Emma stare at anyone like that.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAnBPjHvSyBL
Eyes full of hatred and rage, that reaction was something Rachel had for nearly everyone except her own friends, but not Emma.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAxbbr7i2Skn
Not the sweet, innocent, and kind Emma.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAji70iEvfeC
"You!" Emma hissed. And walked dangerously close to me, so that there were only a few inches space between us.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAh5XnBEwERB
"It's all your fault." Emma snapped, "you talked Samuel into breaking up with me"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAgDatbVPW8B
"I-I..." I swallowed, not being able to form even a single word. My legs were frozen in place. Unable to move anymore, my vision got blurry.
583Please respect copyright.PENANA9TBv1ukkp4
I wasn't scared of Emma, no. I was merely shocked. I have never seen this side of her, the true side of her.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAghIIbXuaXr
"Don't you dare, play dumb with me" she hissed and raised her right hand high, it took me a few seconds to understand what was happening, my eyes widened, unable to think of anything else to do, I just closed my eyes and waited for the familiar sting on my cheek.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAJaKU2YMNy9
But it never came. I slowly opened one eye to know what was happening, Nathan was holding Emma's raised arm tightly, they were both throwing at daggers at each other.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Yi9GE4lx
"You have hit her enough." Nathan said calmly, still glaring at her.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAdd6UidFiOC
"This is none of your business" Emma said, in a surprisingly calmer voice. I have always thought Nathan was intimidating, I always got affected by whatever he was saying or doing. Maybe Emma thought the same.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAqvjicAz6Iz
"This is entirely my business, " Nathan hissed, loosening his hold of her arm, "Rachel is my sister, and Jessie is my friend of more than fifteen years. Who the hell are you, to tell me it's not my business?"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAeIJPGKyghY
"You don't know anything" Emma said, and pointed her finger at me, "this girl-"
583Please respect copyright.PENANABGn7I2AXeH
"Jessie has not done anything wrong, you're in her apartment. You should at least respect her"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAo4yvJaINxF
"But Samuel-"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAZHUQOmZcZ5
"You need talk to Sam about your relationship problems, not Rachel and Jessie. After all, Samuel is your boyfriend, not Rachel or Jessie-"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAWI6ARQWrpi
"You-"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAn65qiHnndo
"-and if I see you again, bothering anyone of them, in any way, you'll pay for it. Now, get out"
583Please respect copyright.PENANAeeG7jg6tlX
Emma's eyes widened from fear, since Nathan said what he said, in the most intimidating voice. And he looked quite intimidating too.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7KrABDXOi
"Get.Out." Nathan repeated his last words, and pointed a finger to where the door was. Emma looked very embarrassed as she slowly walked out of the kitchen, glaring at me one more time.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAkn8OHff1eT
We heard the main door slam shut, meaning Emma was out in the hallway, and out of my apartment.
583Please respect copyright.PENANA8WNBEKdBwr
My feet were feeling numb, I couldn't feel them anymore, I couldn't feel anything anymore. As I fell on the hard ground, sobbing.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAETIoptiaYC
Rachel, and Dave both sat beside me and were both whispering to me, or to each other, I don't know. Nathan on the other hand, was just standing there, frowning.
583Please respect copyright.PENANALjzQBmvdGf
The three of them seemed like they were talking to each other, but I wasn't aware of anything, except the question I kept asking.
583Please respect copyright.PENANAl5KZvhdr2M
"Why?" I sobbed harder, as I remembered the humiliation in Nathan's birthday party.
583Please respect copyright.PENANA2IN7aFZdce
"Why, Emma?" I kept saying those two over and over again. While Rachel was hugging me tight, and rubbing my back gently.
