Chapter 47 - He Found Out

Time flew fast, it's like that scene on the car was happened yesterday. I was quiet busy for the whole month. We agreed that he'll give me some time to think if I would choose the path of going back to school or stay for being a part-timer on his shop.

He also want to hire me as his full-time employee now, but since I'm still undecided with my problem, we'll gonna take it slow and leave it for the mean time.

And for that one month, we became closer as he court me. He is so sweet and gentleman. The thing that always come to my mind everytime he do something that flutters my heart was his good heart. I'm so thankful that I've waited for him to heal.

It's the feeling that I've been wanting for so long. Having him beside me, taking care of me while I'm struggling to all my problems.

My mother called last week, she said that she wants to divorce my dad.. Of course I cried.. My heart aches for that. I want to go home but I need to work for them. I want them to fixed what misunderstanding they had, because I feel so sorry for my brothers. I'm not there for them in times like that.

But there's this day that Noah asked what's bothering me and then just like a bomb, I broke down. I cried in his arms..

He told me to go home and he will wait for me. I was hesitated at first because the shop was in critical stage that time but he asked me to trust him. That he can handle it, so I left and went to my family.

As I stepped on our village, my brothers hugged me from the moment they saw me. My tears fell down as I hear their whimpers. I wanna cry too but I need to be strong for them so I just held my tears and console them.

My mother told me everything, she said that she was tired of everything. She's tired of understanding my father. She wants to be free and she's no longer happy with my him.

Though, she's worried because my brothers didn't say anything about it. She thinks that they're both mad on her decision. This is the time that I'm scared to face. I know that someday my mother will definitely leave my dad for his flaws, not because I want them to separate.. It's just that, I can see that they're no longer in good terms and they're always fighting for some things. I can't bear to see it, so one of my reasons why I moved out before was this..

I don't wanna see them fighting, it makes me feel sad and hurt at the same time. I know my father and I were definitely not in good terms, but I feel so sorry to him because I know how much my mother cared for him and I think he won't find someone as nice as her.

I know its too late for him to change and nothing could ever make my mother come back to him. My brothers are also in pain. I don't wanna make them choose where to go if they really decided to separate now.

That's why I did my best to convince my mom to give him another chance..

I know, my mom would be upset for that favor. I want to protect them from pain, I want to protect this family from being broken..

Now, I'm here inside my room. The whole house was quiet. My dad was on the guest room while my mother is on their room. We didn't talked since I mentioned it to her, I know I broke her heart for asking her like that. But for this family, for my brothers. I know I did the right thing..

I heard a knock on my door so I just quickly wiped my tears away.

"Raine.." Drake's cold voice made me look up to face him.

His eyes are also swollen, it looks like he just finished crying. My poor brothers..

"You don't have a school?" I asked.

He shook his head, "I wanna stay here with you,"

He walk over my bed and sit there. He looks so calm all the time, his face are always cold and it just looks cool for me. Unlike Seb, who's always has a friendly eyes, Drake cold gazes were just intimidating. Those features of him were just added to his charms. Many girls are chasing him around, but none of them caught his attention. He has this grumpy side and he's silent all the time. But he's also sweet..

"We both know we're not okay, so don't try'na ask me that," He looked away.

He knows what I'm thinking.

"I'm just wondering why you're always cold and mysterious, handsome boy?"

"I don't know why.." He shrugged.

"Do you and Sebastian already talked?"

"What else should we talk about? We're not really that close.." I know that Drake and you're always fighting like kids.

He stood up and hugged me, "Do you want to go out? I can accompany you,"

I still can't believed that they're mature now, but still their sweetness didn't lessen. I love my brothers.

"I will make you happy, sis," He whispered.

"I know, Drake. You always make me happy," I said.

He let go of me and stare. "Really?" He asked. "I mean.. You said I'm cold?"

"Yeah," And your expression didn't change. Still cold, Drake.

I want to say that to him but I just remained silent.

"You don't have friends, do you? That's why you're asking me instead," I force to laugh.

His face darkened, "I don't need them. I just wanna hang out with you,"

I know he wants to hang out with me, I'm just teasing him to see his reaction but he just got annoyed. This brat.

"Okay, let's go," I smiled. "Just give me ten minutes to fix myself,"

He nods and went outside. I was thankful that before he came I already took a bath. My brothers are quiet sensitive, they care about cleanliness and that's the thing that I can't understand on them. Very conscious and meticulous, just like Noah.

I suddenly thought about him. God, I missed him.

I immediately fixed myself and when I'm done, I texted him that I miss him so much. I just really want to say it, I'm almost here for a week and I just can't help but to think about him all the time.

"You look good, sis," Drake smiles.

"Thank you, Drake," I laugh.

I just wear a simple denim short and a white top with a pair of long socks and rubber shoes. Well, I just missed wearing this things.

"Let's go?" He asked.

I remember Seb, "Wait! Where's Seb?" I asked.

"He doesn't want to go out or even go to school, sis," He looked down.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Because I thought you already knew," He shrugged.

I went inside their room and found Seb on his bed. His eyes are also swollen. He didn't noticed me because he's busy rolling his little car on the side table.

I sigh and took a step near him, "Hey," I sat beside him.

He looked at me and sadness was all over his face. This young man broke my heart again.

"Raine.." He said in a low tone.

"Do you wanna go out? Me and Drake will hang out today and it's more fun when you're with us," I tried to smile widely.

"Come with us, Seb," Drake said in a cold way.

He looked at us and shook his head. That means we failed. He doesn't want to.

"I'll just stay here, sis. Have fun," He force a smile.

"Okay," Drake said and walks out of the room.

"Are you sure, you don't really wanna go out with us?" I repeated. I just hope that he'll come with us so he can breathe.

"Just go with Drake, Raine.. I know you missed him," He smiles.

"I missed both of you,"

I patted his head, this is the first time that I've seen him this lonely and I want to cheer him up but he refused. Hope I can do something that will make him happy even if it's impossible for now.

I nod and smile. "We'll be back before lunch, we're going to buy some foods. What do you want?"

"Just anything.."

"Okay, just call me when you need something," He nods.

I stood up and went outside. I found Drake sitting on the front car while tapping something on his phone. He looks so annoyed and it made me wonder who is that person who made my brother like that.

"Drake!" I shouted. He looks at me and immediately put his phone in his pocket.

My eyes scanned his face, "You look pissed, huh?"

"Nothing, Raine," He avoided my gaze.

This kid was hiding something. Hmm..

I don't wanna sound nosy so I just bit my lip. He also seems like he doesn't want to talk about it. I don't wanna make him feel uncomfortable, so yeah.

He gave me the car keys, I'm the one who will drive since he's still a minor. He still needs to wait for three freakin' years to get his driving license.

I opened the car door and went inside. He sat beside me, I start the engine when we fastened our seat belts.

The ride was quiet and Drake was busy on his phone. I was really bothered by how he released his heavy breaths and how his brows collided. My brother also has a pointed jawline so I can see how he clenched it. He looks angry now.

"Hey! Is there any problem?" I asked. I'm worried now.

"Nothing," He answers coldly.

"Can you tell me what's making you angry, Drake?" I glanced at him.

I heard his heavy breath. "It's nothing, Raine. Just drive,"

I know something's odd. I was thinking of something but it looks unbelievable to me.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" I asked and it made him silent.

Got yah!

"No," He answers immediately.

What?

"You obviously have, why deny it?" I laugh.

"I would answer that if you tell me who's Noah," He arched his brow.

How did he found out about that?

From Sebastian?
