I looked at Hayden watching as his eyes darken the more the stare between the two boys lasted
"What are you doing here?" Hayden asked making the guy chuckle as he stepped closer, with every step closer he got the tightly Hayden's grip got
"I asked you a question" Hayden growled, I hadn't seen this side to Hayden ever but I was curious on who it was that managed to bring out this side to him"Now Hayden, is that anyway to talk to your big brother" he said making me widen my eyes slightly as I looked at Hayden
"I don't have a big brother, I used to sure but the moment he walked out that door claiming we were all up our own asses about Dad. He walked out of my life" Hayden fought back
"Why don't you send the pick of the week home and we'll talk man to man" his brother glared at me briefly before turning to Hayden
"That just shows how little you think of me. Bryony isn't a pick of the week. She's my girlfriend" Hayden said making the guy chuckle again
"A girlfriend? Since when?" he asked and Hayden rolled his eyes"What do you want Liam" Hayden asked
"What I want, is to talk" He spat back
"So talk, anything you want to say to me, you can say in front of Bryony" Hayden saidI mean, I'm glad Hayden thinks that way but I won't lie. I wanted out of this situation and I wanted out of it fast
"Hay, it's alright. Talk to you brother, I'll call you later?" I offered making Hayden jump at the sudden sound of my voice
"Bry no it's okay" He muttered to me but I shook my head before kissing his cheek
"It's okay Hayden, I need to talk to Dad anyway without Eb being home" I said making him look at me once more before sighing--
I walked into my house after Hayden dropped my off and honestly, I knew nobody would be home but Hayden didn't need to know that
When I saw the situation start to unfold it reminded me a lot of something Toby and Dad went through when Gran passed away, it wasn't pretty and honestly scared the crap out of meI was 10 at the time so I knew exactly what was going on, Toby was just out of College and was feeling all adult like and dominate completely forgetting that he still had to respect his parents
Gran passed and Toby's switch flipped, it's the downside to our family. We seem to have these switches and when they are flipped. We are the most vile, toxic people going
But nobody would ever own up to that would theyI sighed walking into my room slumping straight on my bed, I don't want a repeat with Hayden. I don't want him to fall down the same ladder but let's be honest I don't even know if he'll talk to me about it if he was to reach that stage you know?
I picked up my phone, instantly going to the Album I have of photos of Hayden and I, curtesy of either Hayden or Allie. It's become and every growing folder
The first real place that I would pin point being Hayden and I's spot would be the beach, whether that be the first party I went to where I spent hours talking to him or the countless evenings spent there with the boys
Or even the amount of times we've walked from one end to the other end just being with each otherI don't think he has a bad bone in his body, but I have a feeling his brother is only here to bring out the worst in him..
Long before Hayden and I were even together I had this suspicion something would happen, I don't know how to explain it but when I'm with him I'm this completely different person and I love it
Just like I love him
The more I say it or even think it, the more I'm beginning to realise I really do love him
He's been there when I've needed someone, sure he hasn't seen me at my lowest or even when I flip that switch but I think I know that he'll be by my side through it all
I think the thing I'm scared off isn't the person Hayden is but the person that his brother thinks he is
I don't think I know the whole story and I don't think I even have the right or want to knowLiam is a type that I've seen before, he only comes back in to destroy something when someone has already picked themselves up from the last rubble
I don't like his type but something tells me he won't disappear into the shadows like our last demon didHayden and I have been through the battle already why not, why are we having to go through this all over again?
We've barely recovered of had a moment to breath before we're struck againExcept this time if things were to get worse, I don't think a declaration of love will fix it
I'm not a quitter, I'm not one to give up.. But I'm also not one to watch someone else make mistakes I've already watched
I'll happily sit with Hayden and steer him in the right path but I can't force him to take itHe can let Liam in, trust him, listen to what he has to say and let the devil play again
Or he can take it through gritted teeth and don't trust a single thing to leave his mouthUltimately it's Hayden's choice
I just hope nobody gets hurt in the process
