Chapter Five:
Victoria closed the door quietly behind her. She could hear Reid peel out of the driveway and honk his horn. She couldn't help but giggle. She stood up from leaning against the front door and headed to the stair case.
"You're in late." Victoria jumped at Caleb's voice. She spun around and saw him standing in the doorway of the living room. She smiled at him.
"Oh my god, you scared me," She scoffed and ran a hand through her hair that was fast coming undone from its ponytail.
"Where were you?" Caleb asked his tone harsh.
Victoria studied him. "I was out." She went to head up stairs.
"That isn't good enough," Caleb snapped. Victoria stopped on the first stair and turned to look at Caleb.
"What?" She said her voice quiet. Her signature anger was boiling up inside her. Even from when she was little she heard stories when she would get angry and would just lose control and throw fits. Even now more grown up her anger was something she always had trouble controlling.
"That isn't good enough, mom was worried about you! You could have called." He said crossing his arms.
Victoria stepped off the first step and took a step towards her brother. "Mum was worried? Worried?! Where was that worry when she shipped me off half way across the world? Didn't seem so scared then. I've done just fine looking after myself for the past two years, that isn't going to change now."
"Victoria, don't take it like that," Caleb said shaking his head.
"I don't see any other way to take it, Caleb." She turned around and went half way up the stair case but stopped and turned to face him again, "After the weekend I will be in Spencer and dear old mother won't have to worry any more." With that she stormed off.
Reid closed the door behind him into his dorm room and looked around. Tyler was already in bed and fast asleep.
"Pansy," Reid whispered to himself. He shrugged off his jacket and threw it on his bed. He went into their bathroom and turned on the faucet, nothing came out. "Shit," He said under his breath.
They had been having trouble with their plumbing for a while now. He would have to get the handy man to fix it for them. He rolled his eyes and went back through to sit on his bed.
His cell phone went off. He restlessly dug around in his jacket for it. Tyler moaned and in response Reid kicked Tyler's bed making him moan more. When Reid fished out the phone he looked at it.
Expecting to see Victoria's number on the tiny screen he was a little startled to see Caleb's instead. He considered not picking up but decided against it, after all on Monday Caleb would just track him down, if not tonight. For all Reid knew he could be outside the door right now.
"Hello?" He said casually answering the phone.
"Reid, what did you do?" Caleb snapped.
"Ah, such a nice greeting Caleb, do you answer Sarah's calls by saying 'oh not you again'?" Reid asked sarcastically.
"Ha, ha very funny, what did you do with my sister?"
"Oh Caleb, I am not sure you really want to know that." Reid said tauntingly. He could hear Caleb take a few deep breaths.
"Reid, I am not kidding, I am at home and she just got in at two in the morning."
"Is that really the time, my, we must have been having a good time."
"Reid, don't joke 'cause it ain't funny. She is my sister and I don't want her toyed around with, especially by you."
"Oh Caleb, ye of little faith," Reid said egging Caleb on a little, "I wouldn't dare, wouldn't dream of it, now if you don't mind…"
"Reid don't you dare hang up!"
"I am rather tired, nighty night."
"REID!" With that Reid hung up the phone.
