Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 50

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 50 – Addelyn Paisley POV

I awoke early before they even got up, Tangled amongst their arms and legs and feeling claustrophobic trapped in the arms and legs. Wriggling out to a sitting position. I got up walking across the bed and walking out toward the kitchen.

We were leaving today, and I wanted to se my family before they left for the day. Seeing Eli’s Car keys on the bench I grab them before walking to the front door and opening it. The sun was only just coming up and being out here of a day, I could really appreciate how secluded this place was from the bustling city. No sounds of traffic, no noises just silence and empty paddocks surrounded the property and trees. Making me wonder when we get to Soya if the silence would become too much they lived even further out than this place was.

Walking over to Eli’s silver BMW I hit the button unlocking the doors before opening the drivers door and leaning over to the footwell of the passenger seat where Cyrus placed my bag. Just as I was reaching for it I heard movement behind me, the crunch of rocks on the gravel driveway.

“Where are you going Addie?” Eli’s angry voice startles me and I grab my bag before sitting and turning. He lets out a breath of relief when he realises I wasn’t trying to escape but just getting my bag.

“Nowhere but I can’t wear your shirt home now can I? ” I tell him hopping out of the car and shutting the door. I lock it before tossing his keys to him and completely ignoring him as I walk back into the house.

Walking inside Cyrus was walking out of the bedroom pulling a shirt over his head. Eli walked in behind me, shutting the door a little too loudly making Cyrus raise an eyebrow at him. I walked into the bathroom, closing the door in Eli’s face as he stalked after me. Eli bangs on the door.

“You know Addie, you’re making things worse for yourself” He says through the door but I ignore him instead rummaging through my bag and pulling out my jeans and shirt on. Getting dressed quickly just as the door suddenly unlocks and Eli walks in. The frustration on his face pissed me off. What the f**k has he got to be mad about he wasn’t throwing his life away to be with me, I was doing that he no right to be angry especially when I did nothing wrong but get my clothes from the car.

“Why are you pissed off?” I ask him shoving past him and walking back into the living room.

“Your attitude,”

“I don’t have an attitude” I tell him before grabbing my shoes and slipping them on. Eli folds his arms across his chest making him look more brooding than he already is. I roll my eyes and he growls.

“Woah kids settle down” Cyrus says as Eli and I continue to glare at each other.

“She started it?”

“No you did by assuming I was trying to run, just get f*****g dressed so we can leave” I tell him and he steps forward a growl tearing from his chest at my use of language.

“You keep going, I won’t let you say goodbye Addie, so knock it off”

“Yeah I wont f*****g go, now hurry up Maya leaves for school in an hour” I tell him. He goes to say something when Cyrus grips his arm making him look at him. He sighs before walking off.

Cyrus walks over to me looking down at me. He raises an eyebrow at me and I look away annoyed sitting back on the lounge and folding my arms.

“Why you always need to push each other’s buttons”

“oh I’m sorry did I say something you didn’t like?” I ask him and his eyes flicker red.

“You really do have an attitude don’t you, deal with it Addelyn. I won’t put up with tantrums, you’re an adult act like one” He says before walking off toward the bedroom. They return a few minutes later fully dressed and neither of them say anything to me. Eli carries a suitcase before he walks over to a painting on the hallway wall before pulling it off and revealing a safe hidden behind it. I grab the keys from Cyrus’s hand and continue out the door while they do g*d knows what. Unlocking the car I hop in the back and put my seatbelt on placing my bag between my feet. Cyrus and Eli put some things in the boot before getting in and I hand Eli his keys.

The drive there was silent except for the radio playing softly. Pulling the driveway my mother’s car was still there and my sisters. Relief hitting me that I could see them before I leave. Hopping out of the car I walked to the front door only to realise I gave my sister my car keys. I go to knock when Eli suddenly unlocks the door making me look at him. He held up a key and I huff, annoyed that he had a key to my house.

Stepping inside I could hear everyone getting ready for the day, Taylor had to leave soon to get Maya to school. She only worked 9 to 5 so Maya would no longer have to go to before school, care she would just have to remember to use her lunch break to grab Maya from school like I used to do. My mother looks up when I walk in. A smile on her face and I suddenly remembered the argument we had the other day. Looking at her I could tell it was long forgotten to her she was just happy to see me.

Eli goes to the kitchen making coffee. “What’s wrong my mother?” Asks looking at me. Taylor also stops from making Maya’s cereal to look over at me. It was so strange seeing her parenting her own child yet by the look on Maya’s face she was loving having her mum to wake up to.

“I’m leaving today, moving to Soya. I just wanted to say goodbye” I told them.
