Betrayed By Everyone, Loved By Four
Betrayed By Everyone Loved by Four Chapter 53

"Okay so, another movie or are you sleepy?" Lila asked me.

As soon as we were out of school our entire little group when out for food. Then Lila and I went back to her house. She told my mom that she was kidnapping me for the weekend. Caleb ended up going to some sports thing with Coach Miller. Apparently, it was important, and he would be gone all weekend. Lila is a bit sad, but at least we have each other.

I looked at my phone to see that it's after two in the morning. We had been watching movies, laughing, and talking for the last several hours. I still don't feel tired though. The guys have barely talked to me since we all parted ways. What could they be doing so late that they didn't even tell me good night?

"You can put another in." I told Lila.

Less than an hour into the movie, and Lila is knocked out. She's snuggling against my arm as she snores softly. I looked down, and chuckled at her.

Sighing lowly, I pulled my phone out. Still no messages from any of them. Were they really that busy? Maybe I should send them a message. Yeah. I mean, who says that it has to be a guy to say good night first, right? I can totally let them know I've been thinking about them.

Me: I hope you guys had a good day. I miss you. Good night and sweet dreams.

I added a few emojis, and pressed send.

I nawed on my bottom lip as I stared at our messages. After a couple of minutes I thought maybe I wasn't going to get a message back. I pouted, but then I saw the little bubbles pop up saying that someone is messaging back. My heart started pounding. How am I this excited over just a silly text?

Leo: Go to sleep Millie. My heart dropped.

Uhm, okay. That wasn't what I was expecting. He didn't even tell me he missed me back. And Millie? Why is he using my name instead of his stupid nickname for me? Did I do something? Am I being too clingy? I just wanted to tell them good night.. I threw my phone on the floor, and rolled over in Lila's bed. Lila sighed in her sleep before rolling her back to me. I closed my eyes and tried to go to sleep, I really did, but I just couldn't. After tossing and turning for an hour I got up.

I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. Maybe I just need some water. Lila's parents aren't home this weekend. Something about the client that is in town. I'm honestly not sure. All I know, is that their parents have a lot of trust in their kids. I guess all of our parents do though.

Should I feel bad about all the things we've done behind their backs? No, I don't think I should. I mean, most of us are 18 or about to be 18. We're being safe and careful... sort of. They wouldn't understand my relationship with the guys though. Hell, I barely understand it.

The front door opened, and slammed shut loudly. It made me jump, and nearly choke on my water. Who could that be? Leo was staying with the guys tonight. Did he change his mind? Is it their parents?

"I don't give a fuck." That was Leo's seething voice.

Despite how angry he sounded, pure happiness took over my body. He came home. Was it to see me? If it was, then why did he tell me to go to sleep? Did he just not want me to know because he doesn't plan on staying?

"Listen Holly, I told you not to fucking come here. None of us want to see you." Leo seethed. Who the hell is Holly? "I know I keep answering, becasue I'm trying to let you down easy. Take the fucking hint." He said. There was a pause, and a deep sigh. "Where are you right now? Yeah, I know the place. Alright. I'm giving you ten minutes, and you better keep your f*****g hands to yourself."

From where I'm standing I could see Leo hang up his phone as he walked down the hall.

What the hell was that about? Who is Holly? Is Leo really going to see her? Maybe she's a friend of theirs? Then, why did he sound so angry?

Leo came back down the hallway in a different shirt. I ducked down behind the island before he could see me. A short moment later, the front door shut.

I stayed sitting there for a few minutes. Holly. That's definitely a girls name. Leo sounded so angry talking with her though. Is she maybe something to do with the firms client? Why would she want to see Leo this late? And why would he tell her to keep her hands to herself? I know that they're supposed to be keeping this client happy, but to what extent? They wouldn't.. would they?

I felt bile rise up in my throat. My heart started to pound in my ears. I ran up the stairs to Lila's room. Quietly I entered, and grabbed my phone. Lila is still passed out hard. I left her room just as quietly.

Once I was back down stairs I looked to see that no one else had texted me back. Maybe Leo told them not to. I don't care. I need to talk to one of them. Which one though?

Not Leo, he clearly is busy. So, who would be the next best person to give me an answer? I thought back to how they acted after I got beat up. Milo and Oliver were the only ones to really give me an answer to how they were all feeling. Milo more so. I should call him. Before I could chicken out, I pulled up his contact, and pressed call. The line rang for a while. I didn't think he was going to answer.

"Hey cupcake, why are you still awake? I thought Leo told you to go to sleep." Came his usual teasing tone.

Just hearing Milo's voice made me feel better.

"Uh, I can't sleep." I said softly.

"Me neither." He admitted.

"You guys didn't talk to me barely at all today. Were you all that busy?" I tried to keep my voice light.

"I'm sorry cupcake. We were pretty busy. Our dad's have us all going through all these case files for this client. It's been awful." Milo admitted.

I gave a small laugh. "Well, for what it's worth I miss you a lot." I said.

"I miss you too baby." He replied happily. "We thought about you all day. I mean, let's be honest, we think about you all day every day." Milo chuckled. "What did you do with Lila today?" He asked.

"Uhm, we just watched a few movies." I said softly.

There was a short pause.

"Everything okay Millie? You sound.. off." He said.

A small smile fell to my lips. I can't believe he could tell that something was off with me just by being on the phone with me. Do they know me more than I thought? Do I want them too?

Truth is, I do. I want them to know me, every part of me, and I want to know every part of them. I told myself that I wasn't going to fall for them over and over again. Little did I know that it was too late. I'm already falling, and falling hard. They are all I ever think about. I always want to be around them. They make me happy, and I want to make them just as happy in return. I'm not sure I could handle it if they were seeing someone else behind my back. I want to be their one and only, no matter how selfish that sounds. "Milo, can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Of course baby." Milo replied instantly.

I took a deep breath.

"Uhm, I know this is going to sound so stupid. I mean, you guys have only told me a million times how much you want me, but.. Uhm, Milo I don't understand this. This relationship we all have. I... I want you all so badly, all the time. It's.. weird for me. Beyond weird. But I like it. A lot. I just.. y-you all feel the same right? N-not one of you would.. You wouldn't be with anyone else right? A-at least without telling me first.. I know that we all went over this last weekend, but I just.." I trailed off unsure of what I was really asking. What am I even trying to get at? Hearing that conversation Leo had with whoever Holly is, put me in my feelings. As terrible as it sounds, I just need one of them to tell me they love me. I know that's silly. Love is a strong word. I just need reassurance maybe. Yeah, that sounds more like what I need. I'm just not sure how to exactly ask for that.

I opened my mouth to try again, but then Milo started talking.

"Baby, where is all this coming from? Did something happen?" He asked. "N-no." I lied.

Milo sighed. "Millie, we all want you. I am confident that I can speak for the others in this, we want you baby. Just you. Only you. Forever. I know it's hard to understand.. Leo is probably going to kill me for this, but.. Millie we want to be in a relationship with you. All of us. And to us we are already there, we just... haven't asked you yet." He mumbled. "You have no idea how much you mean to us Millie, how deep our feelings for you run. We would never do anything to hurt you. And we sure as hell are not with anyone else." He told me.

I sniffled. Great, now I'm crying. Even if they are happy tears, I hate them.

"R-really?" I asked softly.

"Really baby. Don't tell the others I spilled about the relationship. We have plans to ask you, and I don't want them spoiled because I have a big mouth." Milo told me.

I giggled at that. "I will try my best to keep my mouth shut.

"Good." Milo said. "Now, you gonna tell me why you keep thinking that we are will someone else?" He asked.

Shit. I can't tell him I overheard Leo on the phone. For all I know this Holly girl could just be a friend, or a cousin. I'd look like a total psycho.

"I just.." I trailed off. "I just missed you guys so much, and none of you replied to me telling you I missed and good night. Except Leo, who was a real d**k about it like usual. 'Go to sleep Millie." I mocked in a deep tone. "Stupid jerk." I grumbled.

Milo laughed at me. "He just had an extra stressful day love, don't let it bother you too much. Leo is the leader, he takes on more than the rest of us do. He told all of us to go get some sleep, and not text you back. I'm sorry cupcake. Had I known it would make you feel this way, I would have broken the rules for you." He told me.

I smiled. "What happens when one of you break Leo's rules?" I asked.

"Well, it's different for each of us. Depending on what we like. For me, I usually get spanked, or I have to hold you while you get spanked, and I don't get to touch you." I could hear the pout in his voice, and it made me giggle. "For Oliver, well, he just isn't allowed to touch you at all. Atlas... Well, a little secret about Atlas. He hates being edged-"

"Edged?" I asked.

"Yeah, ya know, when you get built up until you're about to explode, and then stop just before." Milo explained.

"Oh." Was all I said.

"Ya know, Leo was supposed to go back home tonight. He wasn't going to tell you because he has to be up so early that you probably wouldn't see each other. I bet he would love to find you in his bed when he gets home." Milo told me.

"Really? You don't think he would get mad?" I asked.

Milo snorted. "Trust me baby, he won't get mad."
