Betrayed By Everyone Loved by Four Chapter 88

"What happened cupcake?" Milo asked as he started to drive me home.

"I hate him." I sobbed.

"What did he do angel?" Oliver asked.

"Made me waste my cookies." I blubbered.

God, I hate this. I hate fighting. I hate crying. And I hate Leo.

"I'm breaking up with him." I stated.

"You can't." Oliver said softly.

"I can do whatever I want." I said.

"Babe, you dump him you dump us all. We are a package remember?" Milo said.

I huffed. "I.. I'm gonna.." I trailed off.

What am I going to do? Ignore him? Avoid him? Never let him touch me again?

I don't think I can really do any of that. I'm not even sure I could really dump him. I would give in eventually, because as mad, and hurt as I am, I love Leo deeply. Just like I love them all.

I looked out the window as I recalled everything that just happened. When Leo told me he was taking me home today, I thought that he wanted to make up for pressuring me to talk. I did suspect that he would try to ask me again, but.. I didn't think that was the only reason he wanted me to go with him.

Leo is the one that I rarely ever get alone time with. Hell, the only time I do get with him outside of school, is when we all do something together, or he comes over at night. I spend more time with Atlas than I get with Leo, and Atlas has practice before and after school. And games. I thought.. I thought maybe Leo wanted to spend some time with me since we never get any.

I'm so stupid.

"Do you want to tell us what happened angel?" Oliver asked.

I looked up at him, and tried to wipe my tears away. They just keep falling. I'm so damn angry.

"I thought that he wanted to spend time with me." My bottom lip trembled. "I'm so stupid. Leo never wants to spend time with me unless I'm naked. I should have known better." I said.

I tried to stay angry, but honestly, I just cried harder as I said the words out loud. Does Leo even care about me at all? Is he only with me because the others want me? Is that why we rarely spend time together?

"Leo loves spending time with you cupcake, what do you mean?" Milo asked.

I rolled my eyes. "No he doesn't. Leo doesn't care about me, or this relationship. All Leo cares about, is power, and winning." I said.

"That's not true angel." Oliver said.

"It sure feels true." I mumbled through my tears.

"What did he say to make you so upset?" Oliver asked softly.

"He wants to know what I'm hiding." I said.

"What are you hiding?" Milo asked.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Nevermind baby, forget I asked." He said.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Did you tell him?" Oliver asked.

More tears filled my eyes as I nodded. My plan is ruined. Lila was going to help me out. I was going to do a picnic, but at the beach house, on the beach. That way Milo and I can play in the water together.

I was going to bring Atlas's guitar so that he could sing for us. Lila was telling me about this favorite snack of Leo's that they don't have around here. She was going to get it ordered, and here before the weekend. And I was going to order from Oliver's favorite resturant in town. A little piece of all of us.

We were going to have a fire on the beach, and stay the night. The whole nine yards. Evie, Lila, and I spent the whole hour planning away. All for Leo to ruin it.

Granted, I didn't give Leo details, but now I don't want to do it at all. His words are still echoing in my head. Leo tried to use my trauma against me. He was trying to use that I can't sleep against me. And it broke my heart in more ways than I could have thought. Leo really sees me as weak. I knew it too. I bet they all do. Even after talking with Milo this morning. I bet they all hate having to take care of me the way they do. I hate feeling weak. I hate feeling like this.

"I didn't want to tell him. Everything is ruined now." I blubbered.

"Oh baby, don't say that." Oliver said as he reached back to wipe my tears.

"But it is." I blubbered more. "He made me so mad when he said that he wouldn't let any of you come see me at night anymore. I spilled the beans because he made me so angry." I said. "What's ruined baby?" Oliver asked.

"Wait, did you just say that he said we couldn't come see you at night anymore?" Milo asked.

I nodded. "He said if I didn't tell him, that he wouldn't let any of you come see me, and that I would have to try to sleep alone." I said with a shaky voice.

"Oh baby." Oliver said.

"I told him out of spite, and then told him that none of you are coming over anymore. It's my decision, not his. Remember that when he bans you from coming to see me." I said angrily. "Silly little angel." Oliver muttered.

"Millie, Leo would never really do that. He was just trying to get you to admit whatever it was, to him." Milo said.

"Well, he got his wish. Now I hate him." I said.

"You don't hate him." Oliver said as he continued to wipe my tears.

"Yes I do." I said.

Oliver shook his head at me.

"I want to." I whispered.

"I know baby." Oliver said.

My bottom lip trembled again.

"Why doesn't he love me?" I asked in a whisper.

Milo whipped the car to the side of the road, scaring the shit out of me. He put the car in park, then he turned in his seat to face me. There is anger in his deep blue eyes.

"Leo does love you Millie. Very much. He just.. has a different way of showing it. But do not ever say that again. Leo loves you just as much as the rest of us do Millie." Milo stated.

My bottom lip trembled again. A sob tore through my chest. I buried my face in my hands.

Great, now I made Milo mad too. Is he going to use my insecurities against me next? Maybe they all just love each other much more than they love me. I'm just some girl that fits in their kind of relationship. And I fell for them all so deeply. Now I can't stop crying over them.

Shit, this is embarrassing. I'm a sobbing mess, and all for what? Because I got yelled at?

But.. Milo has never looked at me, or talked to me so sternly. Leo, and I have never fought like that. I feel so lost, so confused.

"Baby, I-" Milo tried.

"I just want to go home." I interrupted him, blubbering.

"Millie, baby, look at me." Oliver said softly.

I shook my head.

"Please baby." He tried again.

"No. 1-1-1-1 d-d-don't w-w-ant-t-t t-to." I stuttered out through my sobs.

"Millie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound so mean about it baby. I just don't want you to really think that Leo doesn't love you." Milo said.

I just continued to sob.

I heard one of the car doors open, and close. Then another. Then arms circled around me.

Despite how embarrassed, and mad I am.. I clung to whoever came back here with me. I buried my face in his chest. This is Milo. I can tell by the smell of his cologne.

"I'm really sorry baby. Please. I can't stand to see you upset like this." Milo said softly.

"I-1-1-I'm s-s-s-s-sorry." I blubbered.

"Baby, you do not need to be sorry." Milo said.

"I-I r-r-ruin everything. All I do i-is b-b-burden all of you." I said as I clung to him.

"We just went over this this morning love." Milo said softly.

"And then Leo threw it in my face." I stated through my tears. "H-he played my weakness against me. How can you think he still loves me? He doesn't. He just keeps me around because all of you love me." I blubbered. "That's not true baby. Leo just wants to make sure you are okay. This is his f****d up way of making sure you are." Milo said.

I pulled away to see that we are moving again. Oliver is driving. Milo is staring down at me with sadness in his eyes.

"That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard." I said making Oliver snort. "Do you even hear yourself?" I asked.

Milo smiled down at me as he started to wipe my tears.

"I know baby. I'm not saying it's right. I'm not saying that Leo doesn't have some making up to do. I'm just saying that he loves you very much. So much, that sometimes he loses his mind, and acts like a total a*s." He told me. I didn't think about it that way before.

"You think *sniffle* that Leo did all of that *sniffle* because he loves me too much *sniffle*?" I asked incredulously.

Milo nodded. "You are the only person that has ever told Leo no. You don't give into him, and he wants you to more than anything. So, when you don't.. he doesn't know what to do, or how to protect you. He would never really tell us we can't see you. Even if you weren't going through everything you are now." Milo said confidently.

I sniffled.

"Well, I still do not forgive him. All three of you should come over tonight, and we can all ignore Leo together." I said.

Oliver laughed from the drivers seat.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea babe." Milo said with an uncomfortable laugh.

I pouted.

"We will figure something out love, don't worry." Milo said.

I nodded.

Then my bottom lip trembled again.

"What baby? What now?" Milo asked softly.

"I wasted all of those cookies. That stupid asshole made me waste all of those delicious looking cookies. I didn't even get to try not one." I whined out like a child.

Milo faught down his laughter.

"What if we stop to get you more?" He asked.

"No, it's okay." I said. "I'm not that hungry now." I mumbled.

"You? Not hungry?" Milo teased.

I looked up at him with sad eyes. Milo's face fell as he stared down at me. He leaned down to kiss my forhead.

"Do you just want to go home then?" Oliver asked.

I nodded.

"Oh, and you guys have to come in for dinner."
