Last to Know

Back in Ruby's point of view.

My jaw seemed to drop as I listened to the secret that Eli had let out. Mason and I's first break up, the only time that he himself had admitted that he cheated on me. Was caused by Eli. The person that I had come to trust the most.

That was like a dagger to the heart. He was supposed to be the person that I could rely on but instead he turns and builds me up on lies. Comforts me with lies. That's all that he has ever done was lie to me. That hurt more than anything else had and I have been through a lot that has hurt me. If I didn't have Eli to turn to now who did I have? Nobody that's who.

I sighed as the familiar feeling of sleepiness seemed to overtake me again. The best thing for me right now was just getting back to sleep. I would deal with this mess in the morning. Hopefully by then I would be able to look at things with a clear head.

The downstairs door slammed rather loudly and I heard Eli's voice outside cursing every in-audible word that there was to be said. I rolled my eyes and nuzzled back down into the covers and thought's overtook me. I didn't know what the hell his problem was now, he was the one that let slip that he was the cause of mine and Mason's first break up. That's when things started to get really really bad, and it was Eli's fault.

Tears stung my eyes momently and then ran down my cheeks, I didn't care by this point. I let them fall like rain. Soon, I cried myself to sleep.

Later on in the night I heard the door to my room creek open slowly. Someone was sneaking in. I kept very still as I heard foot steps getting closer to my bed. I seemed to hold my breath for a minute.

My best defense was to pretend like I was sleeping. It was probably just Eli. There's nobody else that know's where I am. I don't think anyway.

A warm familiar touch of a hand ran across my forehead and I heard the voice of Eli mumbling to himself in a distraught voice. I listened.

"Oh hey Ruby I just thought that you deserved to know the truth. Yeah Mason's my brother and every time that you thought that I was there to comfort you you were wrong. I was only there to make sure that Mason could do no harm to you. Because you see we really are-"He cut off and I heard the chair move.

He was getting up.

I could feel his presence over me as he leaned down and planted a soft kiss on my forehead before he walked out of the room leaving me alone again to my thoughts. So much for sleep right?.

The second that I heard the house door close I opened up my eyes and sat up slowly in bed. A bunch of different things running through my mind at once.

What could he have meant?

"What we really are?" I was so confused but then I thought back to one thing in particular that Eli had said.

"Mason's my brother."

I shook my head slowly and then grabbed the nearest pillow that I had and screamed bloody murder into it.

How the f**k could they hide that from me? Of all things why would Eli hide that from me.

Haha oh yeah, I forgot all he liked to do was lie to me and then pretend like he cares. The only thing is, I have known Eli since we were in diapers. He lied to me that long. I laughed bitterly.

Yeah Ruby, You really are up s**t's creek. He left you all alone, lied to you for God only know's how long, and all to protect his brother.

The brother that I had been with on and off for a year. The one that I had come to love. But now.

I couldn't give a f**k less if they both died, burned in the fiery pits of hell.
