Are We Friends?

Chapter 3: Jacobs Rage

Chapter 3: Jacobs Rage

I hadn't seen Jacob since he ran out of the house after screaming at our parents, I rang Kody and asked if he'd seen or heard from him and he said no (I didn't believe him but I didn't really want to find Jacob if he was still in the same state he was when he left).

It was close to 3:30 and we had a plane to catch tomorrow morning at 2pm and we had to be at Melbourne International by 9:30am. I decided that 5 hours was enough time to cool down so I set off for Kody's.

Ding... ding.... Ding....

"Alright, alright I'm coming would you relax" I heard Kody yell from the hall.

"Well, well look who just couldn't stay away. Am I that sexy?" Kody had that stupid smirk on his face as he said this... arggg I hated it.

"No I'm still looking for my brother and I know that you said you didn't know where he was but I also know that you were lying." I told him smugly, while the smirk that was on his face turned to a scowl as he reluctantly opened the door for me.

"As I walked in I realised just how rich the Bradshaw's actually were, the house was a mansion. Kody had 3 rooms just for himself it was quite impressive.

"Wow you have an amazing house, where is my brother?" I stated bluntly.

"Thanks its been in our family for like 3 generations and he's in the pool out back, he hasn't spoken to me about what happened but he still seems pretty peeved about what ever it was" oh no, the longest he has been angry for was like 3 hours and that was awful.

We headed out towards the pool passing more amazing antique rooms and as I stepped out onto the patio he was glaring at me like it was somehow my fault that all this is happening.

"Hey Jakey, how are you?" I needed to lighten the mood somehow.

"Don't call me Jakey" he said but I could hear the humour in his voice, "and I am more upset now, how could they do this to me?" I could hear the defeat in his voice and a little piece of me broke inside.

"I know, but at least the upside is that you get to come to a foreign country and best of all with me!" I was almost jumping up and down hysterically and he was laughing at me, which was a very good sign.

"Yeah I know, but what about footy though?" I sighed internally because truefully I have no idea what he is going to do about footy. "I doubt they are just going to kick you off because you are the best they have!" he chuckled at my statement knowing that it is completely true.

"Ok fine I'll go with my little sis"

"Hey you're only like 3 minutes older!"

"haha still older though, I just have to call the club and let them know"

"Ok I'll be inside with Kody" I left and walked back inside where I found an anxious Kody.

"Why do you look so nervous?" I asked while biting my tongue trying not to laugh at the expression on his face like I caught him out on something.

"Oh nothing, I just u-ummm couldn't... ahh never mind..." ok that was weird.

"Alright, who's got the bad boy Kody stuttering?"

"I do not stutter!"

"Then what did you just do?"

"I was just trying to think of my next words"

"Haha ok then Kody keep telling yourself that big boy" I winked at him at the end and he just grinned at me mischievously.

"Oh you want to know just how big my boy really is huh?" I could feel my cheeks burning crimson and I knew that he was just playing me so I was going to play with him.... Mwahaha!

"You mean, you would show me..." as I said this I dragged my index finger slowing down his perfectly toned chest and I knew that I was getting to him as I saw him visibly gulp.

"U-umm n-no I d-didn't m-mean I-it..." he continued to stutter and my finger went past his belly button teasingly... god I was good!

"Hahaha wow I didn't think that I would actually get you with that, that was just classic!"

Suddenly he took a step closer to me so there was almost no space between the 2 of us as he spoke his warm breath was fanning but neck where his lips were slowing kissing my neck and I tried so hard to keep control of my actions. His lips went higher closer to my ear when he suddenly stops and says to me "got you back sugar cakes" and I could see the smirk playing on his lips! God he was annoying!

"It is so on when I get back, watch yourself Bradshaw!" and with that I turned and walked out of the kitchen and back to Jacob, smirking the entire way. Poor Jakey just looked as confused as ever!

Jacob and I got home a little after 5pm.

Our parents were furious with poor Jake but after they finished yelling at him I heard his distinctive knock on my door.

"You know you can just come in Jakey," I said teasingly to him.

"Yeah I know but I don't want to walk in on you with someone" he said smirking as he opened the door and walked towards my bed.

"Eww Jacob I wouldn't do anything with you people in the house that would just be disgusting" and I scrunched up my nose in disgust at the thought of it.

He just laughed at me then added "If I did ever catch you with anyone else I'd have them hung, drawn and quartered before you can utter then word boo" I snickered but his face gave his game away when he cracked a smile. Stupid brothers but after a couple of seconds of thought his face suddenly turned deadly serious.

"do you know who we are going to stay with in London?" I had thought about that for a while now and I had absolutely no idea.

"actually no I don't, all mum and dad told me was that they were very close family friends" he looked deep in thought for a few moments.

"I do, but you wont remember because of the accident" I remember the accident like it was yesterday, it was something that I could never forget.

"what do you know?"

"all I know is that you probably wont like who we are going to see and that is why I am going, and that is all I am going to say for now. Now come up and snuggle with your older brother" I laughed at his idea but went with it anyway and snuggled up deep in thought about tomorrow and what it will bring.

I woke up the next morning with my brothers heavy arm wrapped tightly around my waist, I chuckled at the thought - he is always the protector.

My stomach was in knots, I have no clue what is going on, even Jake is hiding things from me. He was always the worst secret keeper unless it was something very, very important.

I had my bags packed and we all loaded up into the car.

"Hurry up Jake you are going to make us miss the damn plane!"

"Would you relax women! I mean seriously are you PMS'ing or something?!" I just glared at him, I mean seriously what would he know. He never has deal with it!

"Jacob Ryan Cole! Watch you're tongue!" my mother boomed at him, he always knew how to get on the wrong side of her.

"All right, all right. I'm coming! God are all the Cole women PMS'ing?!" he said the last part so quietly if I hadn't been standing less than 2 metres away from him I probably wouldn't have heard it. I couldn't help but giggle at it.

"Finally the king of dumbassery is ready!" that earnt me a glare from Jake and a snicker from both of my parents.
