Three Fated Hearts by LNC

~Adela~

I swear they are too predictable. I, honestly, expected that to take more convincing, but no.....not for those two. Just the idea that I planned to meet with my sister was enough to set them off. I'm both parts glad and disgusted. I will no longer have to see her and pretend to care, yet they are so quick to save their precious mate.

The twins take a step forward, still not looking at me. I know how this all looks, but I swear that if they give me a chance, I can explain everything. Of course, at the wrong possible moment, Neal comes stumbling out of the dressing room. Stupid i***t! He just had to come out of the dressing room at this time....before I could even talk to the twins?! I swear he has done nothing but f**k up today, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Please, please don't open your mouth and speak.

“TTT...tia...whe....where ar-" The rest of his words are stopped. Landon moved lightning-fast the moment he walked out. I turn to see Neal pinned against the wall, Landon’s hand around his neck. Neal is clawing at Landon’s hand, gasping for breath. I told you not to open your mouth and speak. “You will die for what you have done.” Landon looks at me. “You both will.” I take a few steps back. I can feel the tears forming, and my heart is beating out of my chest. I want to defend myself; I want to tell them what happened. My mouth isn't working; there is no sound coming out. I continue to step back until I hit something solid. I feel the sparks all over my backside. I stop and look up in the face of Lincoln. He is angry, but he is also confused. I turn around and face him, placing my hands on his arms.

“Please, Lincoln, please. Just....just hear me out. Don't let Landon kill either of us. I would never hurt you two; I know you know that. Please......please trust me.” The tears have fallen and continue pouring out of my eyes. It's starting to get hard to see Lincoln, but I can't stop crying to save my life. I can hear Lincoln's breaths come out in huffs. I notice his hand rising from his side, and my fear heightens. I just know that he’s going to put me in a similar position that Landon has Neal. I can't believe that it's come to this; our relationship has hit this wall. Lincoln's hand reaches for me, and I flinch. He stops for a second, then continues, running his hand down my face. I close my eyes at the contact and relish the sparks, not knowing if I will ever feel them again.

"Brother, let's take Neal to the cells and.....and let's talk to Tia. We owe her that much.” I open my eyes to find Lincoln's eyes on me. They are swirling with love and hope. I place my hand on his and lean into his touch. I will make sure they know exactly what happened; I will make sure they know how much I love them and could never betray them.
