A comfortable sigh escaped me.

I completed the cup rapidly and poured myself some extra.

Feeling barely higher, I took my telephone out of my pocket. Dad and Eva had been alleged to arrive that morning. I used to be positive Dad can be offended about us not being house however a minimum of, Noah can be round.

I lazily checked out my telephone, anticipating a textual content or a name from my brother.

As an alternative, I discovered a number of texts and voicemails from Milla. “That’s bizarre,” I muttered, noticing a number of missed calls from Noah too.

I referred to as Milla first. Sipping my espresso, I waited however she didn’t choose up my name.

Subsequent, I dialed Noah’s quantity.

“Cal…” Noah’s shaky voice answered me.

“Hey, you okay?” I requested, gulping my espresso.

“I’m high quality. Milla although…”

“Milla? What’s unsuitable along with her?”

Noah didn’t reply however I might hear his heavy respiration. Anxiousness coiled round my chest. “What did you do, Noah?”

“I didn’t imply to—it was an accident.”

Noah not often spoke in such an unsettled, halting method. He at all times deliberate out his strikes and by no means regretted something. Milla should’ve been harm badly for him to sound so disturbed.

“Inform me what occurred to her,” I mentioned in a low voice.

“She harm her head,” mentioned Noah. “Hubert and I introduced her to St. Nikolas’s. She’s within the emergency room getting stitched up. Docs mentioned she’s going to be okay however they’ll have to look at her as a result of she misplaced numerous blood on the way in which.”

“That’s fucked up. How did she harm herself?”

“I don’t know,” he mentioned with a moan. “She was badgering me and I pushed her. She hit the wall exhausting. I swear I didn’t imply to harm her.”

A foul headache pounded my brow. Massaging my forehead, I questioned what to inform him. My brother was clearly affected by guilt however at this level, what was the purpose?

These previous few months, his sole intention had been to harm her. He didn’t even know the extent to which Milla suffered due to him. She was too proud to indicate her wounds.

Solely now, when he watched her bleed, he felt one thing for her.

“Caleb?” Noah’s voice was heavy with nervousness.

“I’m right here.”

“The place’s Corey? Are you able to guys come right here?”

“Corey’s handed out upstairs,” I mentioned. “However yeah, we’ll come. Inform her to carry on tight till we get there.”

“It’s not simply Milla, Cal,” Noah mentioned in a grim tone. “It’s Eva as nicely.”

“Eva? What occurred to her?”

“It’s exhausting to elucidate as a result of I don’t perceive it myself,” mentioned Noah. “Simply get right here.”

“All proper. We’re coming.” Switching off the decision, I poured myself one other mug of espresso and chugged it down.

My head harm badly. Corey can be feeling the identical as me after I woke him up. Placing on one other jar of espresso to brew, I headed upstairs to wake my brother.
