The plane landed and I don't think my nerves had settled, even after six drinks on the plane I was still a nervous wreck. Even talking to Roy and him assuring me that everyone was safe, even hearing Elijah's voice and talking to Duron, I still couldn't relax... I needed to see him, to hug him, to make sure he was alright before I could settle down. I spotted Roy x3 standing by the baggage claim and all three of them shook their heads at me, he grabbed my bag and tossed it over his shoulder as I stumbled towards him. He looked better than he did when I saw him a couple of days ago, rested and damn near glowing, or maybe that was just the alcohol and bright ass sunlight behind him but whatever the case I dapped him up and allowed him to steer me towards the exit. He didn't say much about what happened, feeling that it was Elijah's story to tell and not his, so for the majority of the ride we were both silent though Roy made it a point to tell me that Terico was arriving later today and the primary suspect was Diante, since no one could seem to find him and by all accounts, he was blaming Duron for what happened to their dad.
"So tell me what happened AFTER the fire, since you feel like it's up to Elijah to tell me what happened leading up to.... y'know." I said quietly.
"Afterwards Elijah was on ten, I don't think I've ever seen him that upset before... he looked like he was ready to kill someone." Roy said and it usually took a lot for Elijah to get mad, but when he did... it was scary. "Doonie.... he seemed like he was in shock, it makes sense though, remember he's still fucked up from running into that burning building... I'm pretty sure he got some major PTSD." Roy said.
"I don't doubt it..." I said shaking my head, when I first got back here I really didn't like Duron but over the past year or so I've really gotten to know him and see the progress he's made... what he's going through right now, I wouldn't wish what he's been through on anyone.
"Serenity just texted me, Elijah and Doonie are down at the police station and it looks like they'll be there for a while.... the kids are at my place so unless you want to deal with a bunch of screaming I can take you home and pick you up a little later." Roy said and I nodded.
Yeah, I was definitely still fucked up... from Roy's car to my front door I tripped like three times and Roy had to stop me from wandering into the neighbor's yard, I don't know what they put in them drinks but.... yeah, remind me never to drink on a flight again.
"Wassup Jaire.... I didn't know you were coming home." Khris said meeting me at the door, I stood there staring at him and then turned around and noticed the bright red Challenger parked in front of my house (how the fuck did I miss that?) I looked into the living room and noticed Rú standing there looking guilty as fuck.
"I'll be in my room..." I said not even caring. I stumbled upstairs and crashed into my bed without taking off my clothes, something told me it was going to be a long couple of days and I needed my rest.
"OH MY GOD, JUST LET ME TALK TO HIM KHRIS!!!!" A voice said waking me from my sleep, it took me a second before realizing I was back home but the voice I heard from downstairs instantly put me on edge. I couldn't even have twenty-four of peace before he showed up, I knew I would run into him but I was hoping to avoid him, but dealing with him while I was hungover... yeah, this wasn't going to end well...... "WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS KHRIS?!?!? JUST LET ME SPEAK TO HIM AND I'LL LEAVE!!!!" Kolby yelled as I crept down the stairs.
"Look man, he's tired and I'm not going to wake him up just so y'all can talk... you fucked up Kolby, so you need to let Jay come to you when HE'S ready, you can't force him to speak to you." Khris said.
"It's coo Khris." I said scaring both of them, Khris turned to me and then quickly looked away while Kolby showed no shame in checking out my naked body... I'm guessing I stripped sometime during my sleep and I would've put some clothes on before coming down here but I changed my mind. "What are you doing here Kolby?" I asked in a disinterested tone, Khris walked off leaving me alone with his brother.
