Jealous {Ongoing}

(part 51): Brother's love

Jason pov

And that's how the week ended, I was getting tired of staying in the hospital floor for hours, I was used to the smell of the hospital; injections being passed out to patients that it was odd for me to smell the fresh breeze. Right now I was in the hospital garden, I Know i promised not to leave Emily's side for just a minute but since I was getting sick for not receiving fresh breeze the others thought it was better if I went out to the hospital garden for an hour or two.

I had been seeing Isa here but not her father, he just comes in the night when everyone goes, and sits on her bed and starts crying, no one knew except from me, he always thought I had been sleeping as he pours out his heart to his daughter, meanwhile I was more than awake. Sometimes I will open my eyes slightly to see him holding her hand and begging her to come back, it's hysterical because he works in the morning and afternoon, and when he is meant to be sleeping he goes to see his daughter every night. It breaks my heart to see an older man crying, I feel pain all over again.

I was just sitting on the bench with cedric as he was eating, as much as I wanted to hate him I just couldn't. "Dad asked me where you were" cedric spoke as he dropped his now empty plate on the sit.

I looked up at him, although I couldn't see him clearly due to my blurry eyes, "And what did you tell him?" I asked hearing my voice for the first time over a week.

Cedric scratched his hair, Cedric was really a good kid, when we were little we played a lot, always but until we both found out that my dad cheated my mom, our whole family got absurd. No one was talking to anyone I barely saw my dad and Cedric's mother, while I always visited my biological Mom who got married. I hated cedric for destroying my family. "I told him the truth" he responded fiddling with his hands.

He looked like the old cedric, when we played together and I got really angry I would yell at him and he would stay under the table hiding from me, with his hands fiddling with each other, thinking he did something wrong, with his hair covering his face, he really was a cool younger brother when you needed him to be one, without thinking I stood up from the chair, and hugged cedric, like a brother.

Cedric was shocked to see me hugging him, he froze in place, he didn't move. I knew what he was thinking we had fought a lot when we found out he was illegitimate, I always used that to taunt him and we fought every single day, his mom was beginning to worry for her son's safety so she told my dad to send him away for the meantime. Since then we hadn't seen each other for so long, but now for the first time in years when I hugged him it felt like home. "I am sorry Cedric" I sniffed.

Cedric hugged me back and I could hear him crying, as we both hugged each other crying and missing the warmth of a brother's love "no I'm sorry Jason, If I didn't steal your girlfriend in highschool this wouldn't have been happening, I always end up stealing your girlfriend and I'm sorry for that"

"But if I didn't taunt you about being Illegitimate we wouldn't have been fighting, I shouldn't have blamed you for dad's mistake, I'm really sorry"

We just stayed like that as we hugged each other.

"Son" I heard a low whisper from behind. I slowly broke away from Cedric's hug. As I swallowed the big lump forming in my throat, turning around I was face to face with my Dad, his was dressed in his black suit, as Cedric's mom was behind him, cedric ran past us to hug his mother, it has been years since I saw him.

He didn't even once call me to know if I was alright, not once did he come to visit me during my therapy session, My Mom came a lot of times but dad never came, even Cedric's mom never came too, he had grown older, as I spotted the little grey hair forming on the side of his hair wrinkles on his face, he was the cause of all my problems and I hated him for that.

I was about to walk away from him, when he held my hand and embraced me. "I am sorry son for not coming to visit you once, I am such a bad father, I know you hated me for cheating on your Mom, but we had problems and I was drunk that time, when I slept with Cedric's mom, we loved each other and we decided to get married, your Mom and I had differences that's why we divorced, I am sorry son"

I stood there like a statue unwilling to move, I was mortified of him. "Is that why I never received the love of a father?" I asked as my voice broke. "Is that why you only favoured one son when you had me? Is that why you never even acknowledged my presence when you came to the house once a year with Hannah? (Cedric's mom) Is that why?" I asked as more tears filled my eyes.

Dad hugged me tighter, as Hannah came forward, Cedric clutching her hands tightly, she put one hand on my shoulder. Hannah was nice, but I couldn't find it in my heart how she replaced my mother, she replaced my mother and took all her rights, how do I love someone like that? "Jason I would never replace your mother, her position can't be replaced, but I will always treat you like a son, I'm sorry too".

I was broken, my mother went through a lot, but when she divorced dad she was so happy, I saw her smiling all the time and with her new husband and her child, my sister. Olivia, when I found out Mom was pregnant with xavier (Mom's new husband) when mom and dad divorced I was so happy, when olivia grew up I would go and visit her everyday. "Don't you think Emily would be happy if you forgave your Dad?" Hannah asked making me tear my eyes from the ground

Raising my hands slowly I hugged Dad back "I forgive you" I spoke up hugging him very tightly, hannah hugged me too as I smiled. I looked over at Cedric and broke the hug from  dad, walking to Cedric I hugged him again and whispered in his ears "I want to show you my sister"

"Your what?" Cedric whispered back.

"My mom had a child with her husband years back, I didn't mention it to anyone", but I could tell cedric.

"So I have a sister?" Cedric broke out of the hug smiling ever wildly

Nodding my head as I patted his back, he grinned. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and meet her" he dragged my hand and led me out of the hospital garden, waving to Dad and Hannah

I was thinking of protesting that I wanted to stay here with Emily, but seeing the smile on my brother's face made me happy, even though I was just twenty three and he was twenty it felt like we were just teenagers as we ran out of the hospital and into his car, I could tell that he was really happy he'd always wanted to have a little sister who he could protect. Olivia and Cedric will get along just fine, Cedric was goofy and funny, olivia was crazy and wild, there's no way there would be peace if they are together. Cedric practically pushed me into the car as he drove to My mom's house. I smiled, as the hospital got smaller and smaller until I couldn't see it again. Emily would be so proud of me.

Watching Rose cry, made my heart break, Rose and Emily were like bread and butter, like peanut and jelly, like the beef inside the bugger, chuckling to myself I cleaned my tears. The point is Rose and Emily were inseparable, they had known each other since they were little children, and now as I watched her tear down it did something to my heart that made me angry, yep Rose and I have been dating for a long time now, and it made me sad to see her cry.

So I've not published my books in a long time, I've been busy lately. But I'll try to make it up to you guys.
