Chapter 25

"Guys, I think we should go," I whispered looking sideways at the boys. We were in the living room, standing near the doorway. Poppy was sitting on the couch and Linda was towering over her. And if it was me instead of her I would be shitting my pants by now. Because I'd never seen her look so mad before. In fact I didn't think she was capable of getting this mad. And I sure as hell didn't want to be at the receiving end of her anger. Never.

"What were you thinking?!" Linda yelled and I flinched. But it seemed to not bother Poppy.

"It isn't a big deal," Poppy said calmly which only made Linda more mad. Tyler wrapped his arm around her shoulder to calm her.

"Not a big deal? Do you have any idea how worried your parents were? Felicity sounded so worried when she called me to ask maybe if you came here," Linda said more calmly this time.

Poppy tensed but for only a moment.

"I should probably call Landon. Tell him Poppy's here," Tyler said. Landon must be her dad. Poppy looked at him in relief, for what I had no idea. And he went out of the room.

"It wasn't like I ran away from home or something. I just came to meet my cousins... without telling anyone," she said the last part almost inaudibly.

Ashton and Asher shared a look.

I was feeling like I was somehow intruding in their family matter and it made me uncomfortable.

Linda sighed.

"Poppy you can't just take off every time something goes wrong sweetheart," Linda said. And the sweet, loving Linda I knew was back.

She sat beside Poppy on the couch and I didn't feel like intruding anymore so I left. The boys left with me.

"God, I'd never seen mom look so scary before," Ashton said as Asher closed the door behind him. We were on the backyard and I sat on a deckchair.

"I'd only ever seen her get that mad once before and that was when I accidentally locked you in the basement and forgot about it when we were eight," Asher said, a hint of smile on his lips.

A scowl formed on Ashton face.

"I highly doubt it was an accident as you were so insistent we go there in the first place," he huffed.

Asher smirked but then his eyes fell on me. He came and sat beside me which made me sit straighter. I was seriously beginning to hate the effect he was having on me.

"You are quiet," he started.

"Is everything okay?" Ashton said before Asher could find something snarky to say.

I nodded.

"I'm fine. It's just that I've never seen Linda so worked up before. You think Poppy would be fine?" I asked.

They both shared that weird look again then burst out laughing.

"She'll be fine," Ashton assured.

"She is Poppy after all," Asher said.

"Honestly, she should give Aunt Felicity a break before dropping bombs like that," Ashton commented.

"I think it was a well thought out plan. With Nick's birthday party tomorrow no one's going to fuss about what she did. Everyone would be all over the kid," Asher said.
