The low continuous humming sound became quite apparent after about three minutes of torturing silence. The sound of silverware scraping against ceramic plates could also be heard, and the tapping sounds that sounded off when a glass was put down. Other than those three specific sounds though, the whole dining room was as silent as two mute owls.
Bree, for one, was especially silent though. All she could be seen doing was staring down at her own plate of spaghetti with a type of pretend intensity, as she tried not to focus on the heated glares her brother was shooting her.
Chase just kept shoving forkfuls of spaghetti in his mouth with a sneer, barely swallowing, as he switched between shooting his sister patronizing smirks and disgusted glares. Oliver kept switching between gazing lovingly at Skylar, and staring down at his plate with uneasiness.
And Skylar being too ticked off because of this stupid, unneeded silence kept switching between taking tiny sips of water, as she glared at Chase for being an utter asshole, and kicking Kaz under the table, frustrated by the annoying humming coming from him.
"Kaz," Skylar whispered in an aggravated voice, turning her head towards the uncomfortable brown-haired superhero, "can you please quit it with the humming?" She asked in what had to have been the tenth time.
Kaz looked up at her with embarrassed eyes. "You know I hum when I'm nervous."
Skylar rolled her eyes, letting out an irritated sigh. "This is stupid." She mumbled, flicking her spaghetti with her fork. "I swear," She hissed lowly, "if Chase doesn't take his eyes off Bree, I'm gonna—"
Suddenly, Skylar was interrupted by a chair scraping loudly against the tile floor. It was followed shortly after by Bree's booming voice, "Oh for the love of god, can you please direct your dang eyes somewhere else, Chase!"
A boyish scoff was heard next, which was quickly followed by another chair scraping against the tile floor, "Oh for the love of god," Chase mocked his sister with fiery eyes, sneering at her, "is there a reason you're even down here, Bree?"
How dare he ask that? Of course he'd say that though. After all, you're replaced, aren't you? He replaced you! Your own brother replaced you! And now he's trying to stand there acting all innocent, screaming at you like it's your fault that you can't be bionic anymore, as he pretends that he didn't, Bree! Chase obviously wasn't even going to be straight with you? He obviously isn't even planning on telling you! In his mind, as long as you're locked up inside your capsule, he doesn't have to tell you jack! Why would Chase even want you down here with the rest of the team anyways? You're helpless to them now! You're USELESS! And he obviously has that all figured out, as you've been replaced…by your own brother….
Bree's mind screamed at her.
And the more her mind screamed at her, the harder Bree's shoulders started to shake with unhinged anger. Angry tears pooled in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. "I…I…you…can't…you…," Bree tried to come up with the correct words to speak, but the unbridled hot rage she was feeling kept making her stumble over her words.
Bree kept stuttering until she finally gained some control over her emotions, slamming her hands down on the table with a growl. Kaz's glass of water even fell over because of the strong rumble the table caused, "I bet you'd like it if I weren't here, wouldn't you?" She screamed at her brother accusingly, trying to hide the sniffles.
Then Bree quickly sent him one last vicious glare before she ran out of the kitchen.
It's one of my shortest chapters, probably the shortest, I know. Technically, I wasn't even planning on updating though. I have a huge work load of assignments, but I thought I'd be nice and give you guys a little something:) This chapter is more focused on Bree and Chase. I hope you enjoyed that, Brase fans. Here's the thing. I had gotten such a sweet and surpising review from a new reader, Shadaflorida, and she made me eager to write more! Thank you so much! A special thinks to my forever readers too, Susz and Aliqueen16. They're both my frequent readers and I couldn't appreciate them more! Anyways, until next time my sweet peaches:)
