A Lover To Him

Chapter Forty-four, Communication

"Did we hear correctly from mom? You're back together with Caine Williams?" James looks at me with furrowed eyebrows and a confused expression, and I sigh deeply. I should have known that both of my brothers would find out about Caine and me. Even if my mom didn't tell them, my dad would have. They would have found out nonetheless. 

I look at my phone, trying to find some words that explain everything that happened in the last couple of months between me and Caine. I can hear the worried and frustrated undertone in my brother's voice, it's easy to distinguish. I take a bite from my Japanese food, which Caine got me. 

Caine went to make some calls about the scandal after I showed him all the articles. He was beyond angry about all the articles, and I've never seen him that furious with something. I have seen him angry so many times that I lost track, but I have never seen him so furious. It looked like he could crush the world with one right hook, and although I knew he wouldn't explode inside of the hospital room, I was scared that he would for a slight second. 

I have never seen Caine release all of his anger at once, not even when he was in the ring. He used much of his anger as his power and motivation to win a match, trying to find release for the burning anger in his veins, but he always held some of his anger back. He never released all of it, some part of it was kept hidden deep inside of him. Yet, the moment I showed him the articles, I could see his eyes turning deadly black, and I could see him struggling not to explode in front of me. 

"Yeah, I am. I was going to tell you all around Christmas or something because I only told him I would give him another chance not too long ago." I say, looking at the camera with a smile that hopefully seems reassuring. My brothers couldn't make it back to Britain to see me, but I hadn't even asked them to come here. It was only an accident, and while I had injuries, it wasn't an emergency. I didn't even know my parents were coming to Britain to see me and check on me, but they were concerned when they heard a hysteric Dylan on the phone, who told them that I was in an accident in surgery. They had been scared because of my previous injuries. 

"Jezus, Mia. That fucking asshole broke your heart. He shattered you to pieces, and he doesn't deserve a second chance. He made his choice a long time ago, time doesn't change that." Oliver says sternly, his eyes burning with frustration. I understand, I get why they're angry, confused, and frustrated. I just simply don't agree with them. 

I think everyone deserves a second chance, but my brothers don't always agree with me on that. Still, making mistakes and stupid decisions is human. Everyone makes a couple of mistakes throughout their lives. Some might be worse than others, but everyone makes mistakes. You can't judge one person on what mistakes they might have made in the past. Many learn from their mistakes, but some don't. 

"Oliver, it's none of your goddamn business if I give him a second chance. It's my life, remember? I'm the one who has to live with the consequences of my decisions, and if I have made bad decisions, I will realize it in time." I say, sighing deeply. I don't feel like having a discussion about my relationship with Caine. I mean, it's my decision. 

"Fucking hell, Amelia. You're our sister and that makes this pretty much our business. We have to protect you from all the stupid decisions you might make, and this is certainly one of them. I don't even know what you were thinking when giving him a second chance, he doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve you." James hisses angrily through the phone, and Oliver nods in unison. 

"No, just because you're my brothers, doesn't mean that my life suddenly is your goddamn business. I can make whatever decision I want to make and you don't have any say in it. I gave Caine a second chance. It's a decision I took and I'll face the consequences of it." I argue, rolling my eyes. I don't get what they're trying to accomplish because I'm not leaving Caine.
