Betrayed By Everyone, Loved By Four
Betrayed By Everyone Loved by Four Chapter 74

It's been over a week since I met with Mr. Whitlock. Since my talk with Vanessa. I've spent days going back, and fourth with myself about telling my parents.

It's now Friday. I'm sitting in the bleachers at school with my friends, and parents. We are all here to support Atlas, and Caleb. Atlas still isn't allowed to play though, but his mom came to join us as well. I decided that I am going to have a talk with my parents when I get home tonight. I'm a nervous wreck over it. I keep biting my nails the whole game.

"Are you hungry angel?" Oliver asked me.

Dad gave us a strange look, but didn't comment. I narrowed my eyes at Oliver. Oliver just smiled back at me.

The guys know that I plan to talk to my parents today. With us being offical, and me telling my parents... Well, they have been very openly affectionate with me. It's embarrassing in front of my parents though. "Starving." I said, and stood up.

Oliver followed me to go get a hot dog. He paid for my food, and threw his arm over my shoulders. I turned my head to narrow my eyes at him again.

"What are you doing?" I seethed quietly.

"Just walking my girlfriend back to her seat." Oliver said casually.

I shook his arm off of me.

"My parents are going to know before I even get a chance to talk to them." I said.

Oliver let his arm fall, and his smile faultered. I instantly felt guilty.

"Oliver, I didn't mean it any way. It's not that I don't like the affection, it's just-"

"I know angel. I'm being too pushy in front of your parents." Oliver interrupted me.

"I'm just nervous." I said.

"And I'm just excited." He said.

"Easy for you to say, your parents support you." I said.

"You don't think yours will?" Oliver asked.

I shook my head. "My dad is going to freak out. He hated James when I dated him. Now I have four boyfriends.. I will bet money that he bans me from ever seeing any of you again." I said.

Oliver chuckled. "You are 18. We will all be 18 in about two months. They can't ban you from seeing us."

I pouted up at him. "What if he threatens to not pay for my college? Or, if they kick me out? What if they hate me? Or, this ruins their friendship with your parents? I couldn't handle that. You have no idea how happy my parents were when you all moved here." I said. Oliver stopped to turn me to him. He rested his hands on my shoulders, and looked me in the eyes. Gosh, I love his bright hazel eyes. Gold shines in them when we're in the sun.

"Relax baby. You are thinking too much about this. It's going to be fine. They might be mad at first, but they will get over it. It's your life Millie. Your choices." He told me.

I smiled up at him. My body relaxed slightly. I reached up to push Oliver's glasses up his nose more.

"Thank you. For always knowing what to say to make me feel better." I said.

Oliver beamed at me. "Anything for you angel."

We made our way back to our group. I tried to keep myself relaxed through the rest of the game. Thankfully, it was over before I knew it. Atlas didn't get to play, but our team did win. Thanks to Caleb.

My parents, and I made our way outside to wait for Caleb. Mom and Atlas's mom, Jen, are chatting away about getting together for a BBQ tomorrow. Gosh, I hope they still want to do that after our talk tonight.

Oliver, and Milo tried to hold my hands as we all made our pay to the cars. I had to keep shoving their hands away. Dad is starting to notice that something is going on. He keeps throwing glances our way.

I looked at Leo, and pleaded for help with my eyes. All he did was smirk at me. Fucking prick. He loves watching me squirm.

"Millie, you're staying home tonight right?" Dad asked.

He turned around at the worst moment too. Milo had just grabbed my hand, and I hadn't been able to swat his hand away in time. Dad narrowed his eyes at our locked hands. I shrugged Milo off, and clasped my hands in front of me. "Yeah Dad, I am." I said.

Just then Caleb came barreling to us, with Atlas right behind him.

"Dad, can I go with Lila? I wanna take her out." Caleb asked.

"Sure son." Dad said. "Come on Millie." He grumbled as he turned for our car.

I looked at Caleb. "You were supposed to stay with me for moral support." I seethed quietly.

"Hmmm, watch my sister come clean about her whack a*s relationship... Or, go out with my girlfriend..." Caleb held up his hands as if he's balancing the options. "I think I'm gonna have to go with my girlfriend."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Once a traitor always a traitor." I stated.

Caleb laughed. "It'll be fine Mil. You got this."

I groaned, and turned to my guys.

"Well, let's all hope I don't get grounded, or killed." I said.

Milo laughed. "See you later cupcake."

Milo leaned in to kiss me, and I backed away.

"All of you are fucking pushing it." I stated.

"You tell em Millie." Jen agreed.

My face heated. I totally forgot she was here. Oh no. She saw all of that.

I turned to face Jen. She smiled brightly at me. Mom, and Dad already got in the car. They are just waiting on me now.

"I, uh, I'm sorry." I said awkwardly.

Jen laughed. "Don't be. Henry, and I struggled to understand at first too. I'm more okay with it then Henry is though. You guys are adults now, we can't control everything. Besides, as long as you all have a healthy relationship, and you're all happy, who are we to judge?"

I smiled at her. "Thank you Jen." I said.

"And I will help your parents through it. So will Darla. Trust me, she has a power point ready to go." Jen told me.

I froze.

What the hell does that mean?

Jen laughed, and slapped a hand on my shoulder. All of them told me good bye. I watched them walk away with a pout.

At least once I come clean, I'll be able to kiss them good bye.

I got in the backseat of my parents car. We drove home in complete silence. Dad kept sending me looks through the rear mirror. I know he wants to ask about what he saw with the guys. I'm just waiting for it.

Surprisingly, no one said a word until we entered through our home. At least Dad managed to wait this long. Though, he could have let me kick my shoes off first.

"Amilia, what is going on with you and Oliver?" Dad asked outright.

"David." Mom scolded.

"Something is going on with you, and at least one of them. I heard Oliver call you angel. I saw Milo hold your hand. Are you dating one of them Millie?" Dad asked. Mom looked at me. "Oh, please say yes." She said.

I gulped, and squared my jaw.

"Yes." I stated.

Holy shit I did it.

Sort of.

Mom's eyebrows shot up. Dad narrowed his eyes at me. I tried not to shrink back under their gazes.

"Which one?" Dad asked.

"Oh, they're all so lovely, it's a shame you could only pick one." Mom said.

My face heated.

Dad narrowed his eyes at her.

"Uh, ma-maybe you guys should have a seat." I said as I walked to the living room.

Mom and Dad followed me. They sat on the couch. Dad looks pissed. Mom is trying to sooth him. I am pacing in front of them.

"I have something I need to tell you both. I.. I should start with what happened to me a couple weeks ago." I started.

"Is this about that split lip, and bruise you had?" Mom asked.

I paused to look at her. Mom didn't really ask me about it before. Honestly, I thought she was just used to seeing me that way.

"Yeah." I said softly.

"Did someone hit you honey?" Mom asked concerned.

I nodded. "I.. I have been lying to you guys for a while." I admitted.

Then I came clean about what Vanessa had did to me last year. Mom and Dad understood my change in attitude after I told them. This wasn't part of my plan, but I just felt that they deserved to know. After that... I told them what James had done to me a couple weeks ago.

"What?" Dad seethed as he jumped to his feet. "We are going to see Adam right now." He stated.

"I already talked to him Dad." I admitted.

"What?" He asked.

"I wasn't sure if there was anything I could even do.. I didn't want to tell you if it was for nothing." I said.

"Millie.." Mom said softly. She stood to grab my hands in hers. "Are you okay honey?"

I nodded. "Leo.. he, uh, got there just in time. Then he took me to his place. All four of them have been helping me to get through this." I said.

"Is that why they were all over you today?" Mom asked as she tucked my hair behind my ear.

I stared into Mom's eyes. Then mine flicked to Dad. I sighed, and shook my head.

"No, that's not why.." I said. "A-Adamn said I sh-should pr-probably c-come clean a-about.." I swallowed hard.

"About what dear? Did something else happen?" Mom asked.

I looked at Dad, then back to Mom.

"We're dating." I said.

Mom chuckled. "We know that much honey, we just don't know which one." She said.

I swallowed. "All of them." I admitted.

Mom froze. She stared at me unmoving. Dad took in a sharp breath.

"Uh, we, uh, ha-ha-have all been g-g-going on d-dates, and.. uhm, and."

Oh my god I cannot get this last part out.

"And what Amilia?" Dad asked.

"We've all been sleeping together. That's why James tried to push himself on me. He said that if I could handle four guys I could handle one more. That's why I had to come clean to Adam. That's why I had to tell you two. So that you didn't find out in court." I rushed out.

Mom and Dad blinked at me.

"Say something." I breathed out.

Their silence is killing me.

"Uhm, wow. I didn't expect all of them.." Mom trailed off.

"No." Dad stated.

"Dad-"

"No!" He shouted making me jump. "My daughter will not be getting passed around by a bunch of..." He trailed off as he searched for the words. "David." Mom tried.

"No. You will not be seeing them anymore Amilia. Period. You can't be in a relationship with all four of them." Dad said.

"You can't do that." I said as my own anger started to take over. "I can be with them if I want. Poly relationships are much more common now-"

"I don't care!" Dad shouted interrupting me.

"But I love them!" I shouted back.

Wow, who am I? The little mermaid?

Dad stared at me. He's seething. Even his breathing is harsh.

"No. I refuse to-"

"That's enough." Mom said cutting Dad off. "Millie is 18 David. You can't tell her what to do anymore."

"Yes I ca-"

"No! You cannot!" Mom shouted surprising us both.

She's usually the sweet, and gentle one. Mom rarely ever raises her voice. Even when we were kids.

"Betty-" Dad whined, but Mom held up her hand to stop him.

"We raised our daughter with enough sense to make her own decisions. I know our daughter well enough to know she did not make this decsion lightly. If they are all happy, and not harming each other, what is the big deal? Millie is right, poly relationships are much more common these days. We can't hold Millie's hand through her entire life David. She needs to make her own choices." Mom said.

"But.." Dad trailed off.

"But nothing. Millie is a well rounded girl. She never even went out, or enjoyed her youth until our friends moved here. And if you remember, we were much worse as teenagers. As long as they are being safe.. well, its not like we want details, but I think we should let them do what makes them happy. They will do it behind our backs if we try to keep them apart." Mom said.

Then she looked at me.

"You are being safe right honey? I know you're on birth control, but you're using condoms?" She asked.

Dad slapped a hand over his face, and groaned.

"Uh, yes, we are." I lied.

"Good." Mom said.

Dad sighed heavily. He looked between Mom and I a few times. Then he sighed again.

"We are going to talk with our friends tomorrow at the cook out. Then we are going to file a police report. I might not agree with what is going on right now Millie, but you are pressing charges against James. He is not going to ge away with hurting my little girl." Dad said.

Then he looked me up and down.

"My little girl." He muttered as he turned to walk away.

Mom sighed. "I will talk to him dear."

I watched as Mom followed after Dad. I'm not sure what is going to happen now that I came clean. All I do know, I feel so much better now that this weight is off of my shoulders.
