You're Half Right Chapter 34 Seth's POV " What else , Ana ? I know that's not all of it . Tiffany is obviously psychotic . When did this happen ? " I asked . " It's not all of it , but I don't know if I can handle discussing it all today . It's not going to be easy for you to hear . Just know that I have evidence , much more than I've just shown you . I guess it's time to move forward and tell you all of it , " Ana replied . Tiffany has always been jealous of Ana since she was born . Tiffany had been the baby , and she was doted on by both our families . Holden and I thought she was a little angel . Once Analise was born , we naturally included her in our affections ; everyone did . It took a couple of years to find out that Tiffany couldn't stand Ana . She hated that she wasn't the main focus anymore once Ana got here . That's what she wanted , for all of our attention to be on her . She would push Ana down or take things from her . As the years progressed , Tiffany upped her game , before one day pushing Ana into the pool before she turned three . But when Ana turned five , things finally started to improve . Tiffany convinced all of us that it was just a childish phase she was going through , and she became much nicer to Ana from then on . It worked out so well that we honestly believed that she would help protect Ana while we were at college . Tiffany's always been competitive where Ana was concerned . The only thing she felt she had over Ana was the fact that she was slim . Tiffany always mentioned Ana's weight any time she could . So it makes sense that she would target her there . Ana was honor roll and incredibly talented . There was no way that Tiffany could surpass Ana in what our parents valued . Tiffany probably could have got a scholarship in cheerleading , but Tiffany wasn't interested in going to college . She was interested in marrying me , but I wasn't interested in making her my wife . I shuddered at the thought of it . I wanted to punch Holden in his face for what his sister has done . So what if he's my best friend ? His f ***** g sister has emotionally scarred mine . No wonder she couldn't stand to be around them . It brought up painful memories . When there was a knock at the door , I stiffened up , suddenly remembering something . One of her bodyguards opened the door , but thankfully , it wasn't Holden ; it was a member of Hospital Security , with Ana's doctor right behind him . The doctor entered the room after I apologized for causing a disturbance a few minutes ago . I couldn't stop myself . I felt like I'd ruined my sister's life . No wonder she didn't want to marry Holden . His sister had bullied her relentlessly for years . I sent Holden a text telling him not to come here , that I would talk to him tomorrow . He replied that he was already here . I can't do this right now . I was so furious at his family right now . I honestly might do something to him in anger . I tried to make him understand he needed to leave . That Ana didn't want him here . All without telling him what was about to happen to his sister . He didn't respond . I know him , he's just going to show up . I can't believe I was stupid enough to give her his room number . But how could I have known what had happened to Ana ? I hadn't known that she was in the hospital . I had been so angry with Ana , thinking she 00 16 @MNN D TA O < You're Half Right +15 Points > had lied to us last night . That she told us what we wanted to hear , so she could leave . I thought she was avoiding us again , and I let my emotions get the best of me when she called . I was so hateful to her when I answered . I said things I didn't mean because of it . Now I felt like the worst brother in the world . I deserved the dressing down the officer had given me , but I honestly didn't know Ana was hurt . I had to come clean because it's only a matter of minutes before Holden gets here . " Ana , I'm so sorry . You can punish me later , but Holden is here , at the hospital . I called him and gave him your room number as we were coming here . We were just worried you were cutting us out of your life , and we didn't want that to happen . I was only trying to get everything worked out between us . You never say a word about what you had suffered . I thought it was just a petty difference of opinion . I see that you had more than enough reason to do what you did . I'm so sorry , Ana . I never intended to hurt you like this ," I told her . She didn't respond , and that made me even more upset . I could tell that she was thinking , and a few minutes passed before she finally nodded and said , " It's fine , we will settle it today . He can come in when he gets here . I sagged in relief . I didn't want her to block me again , and I was terrified she would . I love my family . I've always looked out for Ana . I've tried to do what was best for her , her whole life . I made sure she was safe while I was home . I unknowingly caused her to get hurt . But after my suggestion of marrying Holden , things have totally blown up in my face . Now I know why Ana was so vehemently opposed to marrying him . We will find her someone else , someone worthy of her . Someone who doesn't come with painful memories . " We can wait on him to get here . I will bring him up to speed and see if he's genuinely interested in discussing my issue with him . I doubt he will , " Ana said . My stomach dropped . That means that it's potentially worse than what Tiffany did . But how could that be ? He doesn't remember upsetting her . I thought Tiffany had been the reason for her not wanting to be around either of them . Had Holden done something to her , too ? Something that caused her to hate him as much as she hated Tiffany . No , that isn't quite right . I think she hated him more than she hated Tiffany . What in the hell could he have done to have caused that ? I noticed bruises on her chin and jaw . Clearly made by fingers that had gripped her chin . I went to touch them , but Ana pulled away . It hurt that she flinched away from me . Doesn't she know that I would never hurt her ? " It's fine . They don't hurt very much . I can cover them with makeup until they heal , " Ana replied . Her tone was colder than it was earlier . A knock on the door had her stiffening up . I guess she was colder to me because I had invited him . She was preparing herself for this confrontation . One of her bodyguards opened the door , and Holden's voice immediately said , " Why are you even here ? She's safe . She's inside a hospital . Who would try to hurt her in a hospital ? " " Holden , don't cause a scene . Get in here , we have things that we need to discuss ," I told him . He entered the room with a beautiful vase of red roses , containing at least two dozen stems . A classic bouquet , and I knew that he was trying to win her over . I've pulled the same move myself on a girlfriend who had been angry with me . But it isn't going to work on Ana . Over the years , she has seen us both do this too many times . She knows it's only a show . DE 214 < You're Half Right " What happened ? " Holden asked as he set the flowers on the counter of the VIP room . +15 Points 2 " Your sister , that's what happened , " I snapped out . I felt Ana take my hand in hers . She was trying to calm me down when she was the one who had been hurt . I knew she was trying to save our friendship , but it will never be the same . I don't know if we can ever go back to where we were before . " I will show you the same thing that I showed my family . After you see the video and hear the recording , you can ask your questions , " Ana told him . I didn't want to see it again , so I watched Holden's face as he watched the video . My mother had moved to the other side of the room to stand between Ana's friends . They still bore a stunned look at having heard what Tiffany said earlier . She was much more vicious than I ever thought she was . After the video , as Ana picked up her phone , Holden asked , " How did you get that footage ? Someone tampered with my surveillance system last night . Was it you ? " " Just listen , Holden . You're about to find out who tampered with it ," Ana curtly replied . I watched as Holden listened to the recording . I saw him getting upset as Tiffany spoke . When it was over , he said , " I'm sorry , Ana . I will cover the hospital bills and support you in however you choose to handle the situation with her . She obviously assaulted you , or you wouldn't be here . I knew it wasn't me . I watched your reactions to Tiffany . I told my mother it had to be something that Tiffany had done all along ." " You're half right , " Ana said . " Gwen , can you and Emily take Mom downstairs to get some coffee . Charlie , can you and Drew go with them ? " " I don't think you need to be left alone . Drew can go with them . I think I need to stay here in case you need me , " Charlie answered . He knew things were about to get a lot worse , and they were . But my mother didn't need to hear what I was about to say . " I appreciate what you are saying , Charlie . I know you and Drew take your job protecting me very seriously . But I will be fine . Dad's here . If anything , what happens next with be between my brother and Holden . It won't affect me . Despite what's happened , I know that neither of them would intentionally hurt me . Just give me twenty minutes , okay ? " Ana replied . " Ana , I would like to stay and hear the whole story , even if it hurts . If I don't know , how can I decide what I need to do next ? " my mother responded . " That's the reason I stayed quiet . Naomi didn't do anything wrong , Mom . Dad can fill you in on what you need to know later . Tiffany banked on my staying quiet . I avoided your little get - togethers . I stayed to myself . I thought Roger was gentle , which is why I chose him , but I made another bad decision there , too . I have terrible taste in men , or I wouldn't have been hurt so badly . I'm done following instructions . I'm done hiding myself , because the truth of the matter is , none of this was ever my fault . So many have broken my trust , and I'm not just going to forgive and forget . Those who hurt me can never be trusted again . This time , I'm going to make sure that Tiffany gets what she deserves , " Ana announced . I knew she was talking to all of us , but she was looking at Holden when she said it . I've never seen her look so hurt before . Even when I came up with my bright idea for her to go through with the arranged marriage to Holden . " What did you do to my sister ? " I growled out in anger .
