The Family Experiment

32) Rescue(BENTLEY)

I was at my parents house when I got the call from Mila.

"Hey, what are you up to?" I heard her soft voice say from the other end of the line.

"Hanging out with my family, why?" I had to put a finger over my other ear to hear what she was saying due to all the noise of my large family. Even though it was nearly two thirty in the morning the Reid's like to party.

"Perfect, you're not too far away then." Immediately alarms started going off in my head. "Amelie needs you to pick her up, she's at the cabin with Weston I assume."

"Why the fuck are they at the cabin Mi?" I said and I exited the house

"Why am I supposed to know that Bentley? I just got a text from her asking if we could come get her but we left for a trip a little bit ago so we're not in the area or I would have just asked Nash. Please Bentley, you are only ten minutes away from her and she won't tell me why she needs to leave so suddenly."

"Weston would never push himself on her or any other girl." I said as I started the car.

"I wasn't trying to say that he did. But I know Amelie, I know how she works, I think maybe her straw finally broke and she can't be around him anymore."

"We all knew it was bound to happen at some point, Mila."

"Yeah I just hope this time it doesn't bring her down."

"I know Mi, but Bee is tuff, she'll get through it. I just don't know if West ever will."

"Yeah,"

"Ok I'm pulling on to the road, talk to you later Mi."

"Bye bye, take good care of her."

"She's basically a sister to me Mi, of course I'll take care of her, bye."

The phone shut off and I slowly made my way down the long dirt road

My anger began to build with the passing seconds. Weston knew he shouldn't be around her. Yet here he was, at the cabin, alone with her.

When I first met Weston, with all the shit his dad had said about him. I thought he would be your classic fuck boy. Always partying, a different girl in his bed each week, never working hard for anything.

But then I met him, I got to know him. All those assumptions were wrong. He was a fucking wreck. He could barely stand to look at a girl let alone sleep with one. But there was always one girl he kept an eye on.

Amelie Oak.

The one person he was supposed to stay away from, ordered to stay away from.

Which he had, to the best of his sad ability, he had stayed away from her.

I got to know Amelie too, she was always at the house with Mila whenever I stopped by.

Eventually our quick 'heys' turned into conversations. In the beginning she would ask how Weston was, and I'd give her as many details as she wanted to hear. After a year or so she stopped asking, stopped wanting to know how he was.

It was then I realized Amelie would move on, she would be ok. Weston would never, he could never. Weston was rooted to this girl like a tree to the ground, and he had no intention of ever letting go.

No matter how much pain it caused to the both of them to be near each other. Weston would find a way to make it work, I knew that he had to. I don't think he would breathe another breath if he truly couldn't be with her.

I walked into the cabin, my fumes running high.

"What the fuck are you doing here

Bentley?" Weston asked, looking over to me.

"More importantly why the fuck did I get a call at two thirty in the fucking morning from Mila saying that Amelie need to be picked up ASAP?"

"It's not that important Bentley, can we just go?" Amelie said, giving me a reassuring smile.

"You head out to the car, I'll be there in a second." I said.

Weston and I were only a short distance apart.

I could see the tears he was blinking back.

"What the fuck did I tell you Weston?" I said not caring that he was already beating himself up. I stepped into his space and gave him a shove

"Stay out of it Bentley." He said softly.

"No Weston, I won't. Amelie is like a sister to me, and you are hurting her Weston. Don't you get that. I see a piece of her break every time she's near you."

"You're lying." The tears in his eyes were so close to falling he couldn't even blink.

"Why would I lie to you Weston? You break that girl's heart every time you breathe in her direction."

"Shut up Bentley." He said, his eyes finally fluttering closed and the tears dripped out of the corners

"No Weston, you need to hear this. She was happy again, you know. She had finally just started to understand the fact that she would never know why you did what you did. Then here you come waltzing back into her life. Shattering every brick she had built. You did that Weston." I said, shoving a finger into his chest.

I saw his jaw clench up before his eyes shot open.

"You don't know what the fuck your talking about Bentley. Get out." He yelled tears once again threatening his eyes.

"With pleasure." I scoffed.

I walked about out into the cold night. I took a deep breath before entering the car with Amelie.

"Hey." I said sliding into the driver's seat.

"I thought Mila was sending a driver?"

"Ouch Amelie you don't want to see me?"

"You know I don't mean it like that, it was just a surprise when you showed up, that's all."

"I see, so, are you going to tell me what all of this is about?"

"He um called me Lee. The last time he called me that he said 'you're so fucking annoying Lee. please for the love of god stop being a parasite and get other friends'." I could hear the sadness ring through her voice. I didn't know what to say so I let the silences stretch on.

Soon enough Amelie was fast asleep.
