It Was Always You (book 2)

Vivi's p.o.v

After leaving my dad's office and telling him, Gunner and Mr. Everett Stone the good news, I head home to look for mom, Jess and Rue to tell them. My mom and Jess are in the living room. I tell them the news and they are happy. Rue isn't home. I decide to go look for Liam. Liam and I have been dating for 6 months now. He asked me to be his girlfriend on my 17th birthday. He is Jesse's best friend. I didn't really want to date him, or anyone for that matter, but Jesse who is the only person who knows where my heart truly was at, talked me into it. He said I couldn't keep pinning for someone who left. He told me to live life. I was upfront from the beginning and told Liam that I would not be sleeping with him though. At least not yet. Maybe if I turn 18 and don't find my mate I might consider it, but I also want to form a relationship with whoever I am with, not just jump into bed with them. We have fun, he films for Jesse and I. We all hang out all the time. Our dads are close. He's a great boyfriend. Always checking up on me. I am a very busy girl and I travel a lot to the castle and to my uncle's pack. White Claw. Liam doesn't like going with Jesse and I. Lately I have noticed he has been avoiding me at nights as well. He always tells me he wants to spend time with his dad, since it is just them two alone. His dad is a badass warrior who trains us along with dad when they have time. They live in the packhouse, since it is just them two and his dad is always on the go, there's no reason for them to have a house and never be there. I was at White Claw, but wanted to surprise everyone with my early college acceptance letters, so I came home early. I wasn't due until tomorrow morning. I figure Liam, my siblings and I could celebrate tonight. Maybe we can all go out or something. I run upstairs to his room and like any other time, I do not bother knocking, I just open the door.

I stand there, shocked. Looking at the scene infront of me. My boyfriend, more like my now ex-boyfriend, is having s*x with Rue. My own sister. They are so busy that they didn't even hear me open the door. Liam finally looks up and pushed Rue off his body. "Vivi, what are you doing here? Fu*k, why are you home early? I'm sorry" He starts rambling. I do not hear anything though. Soon enough I feel Jesse next to me. "I felt in the twin bond that something was wrong." he says. I swear I am frozen. I can not move. How could they do this to me? "Woah" Jesse says, while Liam starts putting his clothes on. Rue just sits on the bed naked. "I can explain Vivi, this is nothing." he starts saying, but I am just staring at my sister. I do not give a sh*t about Liam. I do not even have feelings for him. He can go to he*l for all I care, but how could Rue think that it is okay to have s*x with my boyfriend? What kind of sister does that? I see her smile and check out her nails, like if she is bored with what is going on. "Liam, what the fu*k is wrong with you? Out of all the people, you would cheat with Rue. Our sister." Jesse yells at him. "It isn't what it looks like." Liam replies. "Rue, do you have anything to say? How could you do this to me?" I ask her since she is so quiet. "It's always about you isn't it Viviana? Well to burst your bubble, we do this every night. I have been f*****g him for the past 5 and a half months. He says you are a prude and won't give it up. So you see I have to satisfy your man since you aren't good at it. Finally, something you aren't good at." she tells me and laughs so fu*king loud. She looks like she just won a prize. I hear footsteps and turn to see my brother Gunner, my father and Mr. Stone running over to us. "What's going on?" Gunner says, I heard yelling. Rue is still naked. She didn't even care to cover up. "Aren't you embarrassed to even admit that Rue?" Jesse asks her and I see something switch in her. I see mom running over to us as well. "Rue was caught having s*x with Liam and she just admitted that she has had an intimate relationship with him for 5 and a half months. She claims she has to have s*x with him because Vivi won't. Since Vivi is waiting for her mate." Jesse says rubbing my back. I just feel numb and dumb. The betrayal is real and it fu*king sucks. My own sister. Liam can kick rocks, but it hurts coming from Rue. I have always loved and protected her. The fact that she could so easily have s*x with my boyfriend is the lowest of the lowest. "What's going on?" My mother asks. "Vivi, I think we should talk in private." Liam says."Why do you need to talk to her in private Liam, you need to just tell her we are together now. We are having a baby after all. Just tell her already. You told me you love me." Rue yells. Liam looks over at her. "It was the heat of the moment. I do not love you Rue." He tells her and looks back at me with pleading eyes. I never take my eyes off my so-called sister though. She hasn't even tried to apologize to me. She is acting like what she has been doing is okay.

"Are you okay honey?" My mother asks Rue, going up to her and hugging her. She hasn't even looked my way or asked me if I am okay. "Here, lets get your clothes back on and we can sit down and talk." she says, and Rue just nods. They walk away and go get her dressed. My father, Gunner or Mr. Stone don't say anything. Neither do I. What can I say? Jesse on the other hand is pissed off. "Liam what the he*l, you begged me to hook you up with my sister, just so you could cheat on her with my other sister?" He yells at Liam. Liam just hangs his head. Rue and my mom walk back and I can hear my mom telling Rue she will take care of her and make her her favorite soup. "Mom, dad, family I just want to say that Liam and I are expecting our first baby. We should move in together and Viviana should stop telling people she is his girlfriend", Rue says. "Yes dear, of course." my mother tells her and I am absolutely disgusted at how my own mother is making what my sister did okay. I go to the nearest trash can and I throw up. "Nicole" I hear my father say. "This needs to be addressed. What is happening is not okay." my father tells her. Mr. Everett comes to stand next to me and gives me a small hug. "It will be okay sweetie" he whispers. At least someone is on my side. Besides Jess. My own parents haven't even tried to check on me and that hurts too. I feel the tears run down my face, but because I am angry. I am angry that Rue can always do whatever she wants and she gets away with it. Mom always treated Rue better than she did all of us and her excuse was always, well, Rue is adopted and we don't want her to feel bad or left out of the family. It's always been Rue this and Rue that. The rest always got pushed to the side, just like it is happening now. I will never see Rue or my parents the same ever again. My feelings apparently don't matter. I snap when I see my mother hugging Rue as if she is hurt. Not once has she even turned to look my way. Everyone else got quiet. My dad goes up to my mom and rubs her back. "We should talk" he tells my mother. "Later Santi, I have to make sure Rue is okay." After my mother says that, I know I am the extra person there, I stare at them for a bit more, then I turn around and leave. I go home and go to my room. I pack a bag. I am so lucky I have my own money. I turn 18 in 6 months, so I can't leave just yet, but maybe I can pay someone to allow me to stay with them. I still have to finish school and I won't let Liam and Rue hold me back. The sooner I finish school, the sooner I can leave. Maybe I can stay at White Claw for a while. Or with my grandparents at the castle. Maybe my uncle Kiki will let me stay with him? My thoughts are running crazy in my mind. Tears are pouring down my face. I have always had to be strong, but today just broke me. How can someone intentionally hurt me and neither of my parents defend me? At least I have my twin. I hear a knock on my door and it is Gunner, Jess and Mr. Stone. I am in the middle of packing my things, so I leave the door open and they walk in. "Thank goddess that idi*t isn't your problem anymore sis." Gunner says. "Stop crying Vivi, he isn't worth it." Jess says. I glare at him. I go over and close my door. Are you st*pid Jess? I do not give a fu*k about Liam. I hope he chokes and dies. I am crying because I am angry. I can not believe that my own sister would betray me like this. Who needs enemies when your sister is the absolute worst? I am upset that no-one cared to ask me if I am okay. I find out my boyfriend is fu*king my sister. Has been for almost my whole relationship and now has knocked her up. Mom didn't even look my way or acknowledge that Rue was wrong. She made it all okay so little miss Rue wouldn't get upset, but fu*k me right? I just have to get over this betrayal. It hurts because it's from my own family. My sister." I say now, getting angrier.I shake my head "I can't live here anymore, I am leaving." I tell them. "Where are you going?" Gunner asks me. "I do not know. I have 4 more months and I will be done with school. So I can't go far. Maybe a pack member will let me pay them for a room in their house just so I do not have to stay here or in the packhouse and see those 2 or your parents." I say. "They are wrong, but they are still your parents, Vivi." Gunner says and I know he is right, but I am hurt. So hurt that my feelings don't matter. They never do. "I'm out" I say and close my bag. I grab my camera, laptop and all of my chargers as well as my luggage. Mr. Stone comes over and hugs me. He sighs. "You aren't wrong about your feelings Vivi, everyone besides you is wrong in this situation, but let me just say that I am proud of how you handled it. Let me just say that I am so happy you are no longer with that boy. Because that is what he is, a little boy. A real man does not cheat on his partner. Now, I have Evan's room, so you will go live with me while you finish school." he says. No-one uses that room. It is just there so you go take over and I will tell your father myself. This way you can still go to school and not have to see anyone and you can stay on track." he tells me and this sounds like a great idea. "But won't Evan be back in like a month or less?" Gunner asks Mr. Stone. "He will, but he can sleep on the couch," he says. I do not want to put Evan out of his room. I think about it and maybe I can stay there just for a couple of weeks, just to give me time to move somewhere else. "Thank you Mr. Everett Stone, this is so nice of you. I truly appreciate it. I am going to pay you. " I say, "No you are not dear. You will stay there and keep working hard. You will not let this bring you down, do you hear me?" He says and I smile. "You are right Mr. Stone, they aren't worth me being so upset." I tell him. "Now come on, let's go get you settled so I can come back and talk to your dad" He says and I nod. Jess and Gunner walk me over to Mr. Stone's house and take my things upstairs to Evan's room. They stay with me for a bit. Jess says maybe we can get a house together and both move out, but I do not want him to make any decisions because of me.Eventually, they have to leave and Jess tells me he will be here tomorrow to pick me up so we can do some filming to take my mind off this bullsh*t. I give them both a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Mr. Stone returns later that night and tells me everything is settled. I ask him if he talked to Evan about it. Maybe he doesn't want me in his personal space, but he says he actually talked to him and Evan was happy that his father was helping me. I take a shower and grab a pillow and lay down. Tonight was exhausting. I think back to how it all happened. Still can't believe I went from telling everyone the great news to sh*t falling apart like this, but tomorrow is another day and I will take it all one day at a time.
