One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

“Let go of my hair, now.” I commanded with authority but she did not listen and was still holding my hair. Gosh, it hurts for fuck’s sake! “I said let go!” I shouted and when she did not let go, I also grabbed her hair.

“Ack!! Let go of me! It hurts!!” she screamed.

“Haa, do you think I will let go? You started it!” I replied and pulled her hair more.

We are still pulling our hair. And I was even more irritated by the force of Ferries’ squeal. She was the one who started it but he seemed to be acting like I was to blame for hurting her. But I also can’t deny that I was also hurt by the way she pulled my hair. I was still closing my eyes when her long nail scratched my face. I felt the pain there, so in retaliation I pulled her hair under.

“Ahh! It hurts! Let go of me!!” She screamed. Then her grip on my hair tightened even more and I felt her scratch my other cheek again.

“Fuck,” I swear because of the pain caused by Ferries’ scratch.

“Hey! What are you doing?!” I heard Giles shout. “Help! Alyn! Louis!” He even called his two cousins.

Some time later I felt the grip on my arm that forcefully separated us. When I looked at who had pulled me in I was surprised to see Louis. And it was as if horses were racing in my chest again. His eyes widened when he saw my face. His forehead furrowed and he touched both my cheeks. I was still closing my eyes when his hand hit Ferries’ scratch.

“What happened to your face?” He asked like he was worried. I turned to Ferries to answer Louis’s question but I couldn’t speak when I saw how Ferries held Alyn’s arm.

“Babe, look what that woman did to me! Look at me! She also broke the dress you bought me.” She said that you thought she was crying. She clung to Alyn’s arm and her chest almost clung to Alyn’s too close to him.

Alyn stroked Ferries’ hair before looking bad at me. I was suddenly nervous when we looked at each other. In the darkness of his aura I felt fear. It seems like just a word of mine against Ferries. Something bad will happen.

“What happened?” This question was calm but he still frowned and just looked straight at me.

“She grabbed my hair first! I just wanted to help her but all of a sudden she got mad at me,” she complained that it was obviously a lie. “Babe, I feel like she’s jealous of me. I haven’t done anything wrong and then…” she pretended to be crying.

I just looked away from Ferries and tried to calm myself. I was just annoyed with her acting and her reversal of the situation.

“Don’t lie to me about who hurt you.” Louis said and he hid me behind his back.

“I am not lying!” Denial of Ferries.

“What happened?” Alyn asked again.

“Babe, didn’t you hear me? I said-” Ferries couldn’t continue to say when Alyn spoke again.

Alyn turned to Ferries, “You’re not the one I’m asking, Ferries. Shut up.” Then it looked at me again. Ferries was silent while she was still looking mad at me.

“Say it, Max.” Louis said to me.

I just bowed. Even though I wanted to defend myself, I couldn’t speak. I just sighed and didn’t even speak.

“Oh, isn’t it. She can’t speak because what I said is true!” Ferries said and tightened her grip on Alyn’s arm.

“Whoever came before you, you can’t just pull the hair of anyone in this house.” Alyn said to Ferries.

“But she’s really the one leading the fight!” she pouted trying to blame it all on me.

Alyn sighed and then looked at me. “Is what she’s saying true? Why don’t you explain?”

“Yeah, Maxine. We’ll think she’s telling the truth because you’re not talking.” Louis was still fueled by what Alyn had said.

“Why?” I lifted my head and looked at them. “Will you believe me if I say my side?” I added more.

“Of course!” Louis answered quickly.

“You’ll believe,” I said to Louis before turning my head to Alyn. “But will he believe?”

Alyn frowned, as if he didn’t like what I said. “What do you think of me? Bias?”

I smirked, “Isn’t it?”

“If you don’t want to explain, then don’t.” he said. “Don’t you ever come near Ferries.”

I raised my eyebrow, “Do you think I want to approach her? I’ll just kill myself if you think the same way.”

“What?” Alyn asked angrily.

“Look! Babe, I’m scared of her already.” Ferries was even more scared and hid behind Alyn.

“Get that out of here, Alyn! It’s obviously just making up a story. Look at Maxine’s face.” Louis is defending me.

“When else have you been close?” Alyn said before turning away from us with Ferries.

I just looked at the two of them until they disappeared from my sight. I just sighed and was about to walk up to my room when Louis stopped me.

“Are you okay? Let’s treat that scratch on your face.” He said before holding my hand towards the living room. “I’ll just get the first aid kit. Stay here, okay?” He said more before leaving.

If you look at it that way, I was left here with Ferries and Alyn watching a movie on TV. Ferries even clung to Alyn’s arm like a leech if she could. Can’t they just sit beside the chair? Why does this woman need to cling to Alyn’s arm? Tch. Whatever. Louis soon returned with a first aid kit. He sat down next to me and was about to open the kit when his phone rang.

“I’ll just answer that.” He said goodbye before standing up and walking away from us a little. When it was over, he immediately sat next to me in the chair. “I’m sorry, Max. My band and I have a practice today. They’re rushing me because we’re supposed to have a gig tomorrow. Can you treat the scratch on your cheek by yourself?”

I was like a flower that withered at what he said. Sigh, I hope for nothing again. But it’s okay, he will take care of his career.

“It’s okay. I can do it alone. All right, go away and you might be late in your practice.” I spoke while smiling.

He nodded, “I’m really sorry. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you to food next time.”

I just smiled and he stood up. He was about to walk out of the house when Alyn suddenly spoke. “Take this Ferries with you.” Alyn said to Louis.

“Babe, why?” Ferries seemed to regret asking her supposed babe.

“I’m going to do something important, I can’t deliver you anymore. Just go with Louis.” He replied to Ferries.

“Hurry up or I’ll be late.” Louis was in a hurry.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Fine! But next time you have to take me home. Okay?” Ferries then took her bag. Alyn nodded and Ferries walked towards Louis and they left the house at the same time.

Now, Alyn and I are the only ones left in the living room. Spelling, awkward. It’s up to me to just ignore him. Oh, it looks like he’s leaving because he suddenly stood up. Well, I don’t care about him, just like he told his girlfriend earlier “he’s going to do something important.” I just shrugged my shoulders and stopped paying attention to him.

I handed over the first aid kit and when I opened it I was surprised when Alyn suddenly grabbed it from me. I was even more surprised when he stood next to me and he opened the kit himself.

“What are you doing?” I wondered.

“What else? That scratch on your face will be treated, probably.” Alyn replied sarcastically.

I sighed, “I mean, don’t you have something important to do? So, what else are you doing here? I can treat myself.” I was about to snatch the kit from him when he immediately avoided me.

“Isn’t it important to treat your cheek?” This is a serious question that has stopped my world for a moment.

So, what he meant by what he was going to do was treating my cheek?!
