Gold Rush

devil in disguise

We'd won another game.
Not that it was uncommon, considering I was on the team.

Gibsie had somehow convinced me to have a celebration at my house. Which now that it was happening, I had many regrets about caving.

I was standing in my living room trying to stop myself from staring at Theo and Gracie. He had his arm around her waist and she was leaning her head on his chest. For some reason the sight made my stomach churn.

According to Addy—who was nowhere to be found—Grace and Theo were officially together. I don't know why that information made me angry, but it did.

I mean, Theo was a good guy, probably one of the few lads on the team I'd let anywhere near Addy, but I didn't want him with Gracie.

"I'm so glad I convinced you to let us party here," Gibsie cheered, "Might as well put the manor to use."

"You'll be helping me clean up," I confirmed, giving him a glare.

"I will if you let me kiss your sister," He gave me a cheeky grin.

"Gibs, shut up about her."

"I can see you staring at Grace," Gibsie teased, "Is someone jealous?"

"Keep talking and I'll cut your dick off," I hissed.

I let my eyes travel back to Grace who was kissing Theo. She then headed off in the direction of the kitchen—thankfully—leaving me with nothing to stare at.

"I'm going to talk to her," Gibsie informed me, "Be right back."

What he had to talk to her about I had no idea—and probably didn't want to know. I sighed, taking a seat next to Declan who was talking to Hughie.

"Whats got you so angry?" Declan cocked a brow.

"Nothing," I grumbled, doing a shit job at hiding my anger.

"You can tell me, lad," Declan shrugged, "I'm not one to judge."

I knew I could tell him. My little brother was one of the best lads I knew.

"Hey, I've got a toast to make," Stephan McGarry shouted from the corner of the room.

Classic Steph, he was always the centre of attention.

I had to find Gibsie because I knew he'd want to hear this, and probably want to join in. So I headed towards the kitchen and pushed the door open.

"Guys, come on Steph is making a toast," I popped my head into the kitchen.

"Coming, Cap," Gibsie nodded, hopping off the bar stool, "You coming?" He looked to Grace.

"Nah," Grace replied, "I'm good in here."

"Knock yourself out. This lad is going to get wasted," He winked and pointed to himself, walking out of the kitchen and following me into the sitting room.

"And a big thanks to Cap, who we couldn't have won without," Stephan was standing on the coffee table, holding up the medal that was around his neck.

"Yeah, Cap," Gibsie cheered, pulling me into a bear hug, "I could kiss you right now!"

"You best not, ya eejit," I scoffed.

"Thanks for having us over, Cap," Stephan smiled, jumping down from the table.

"Gibs convinced me," I glared at Gibsie and he gave me a cheeky smile.

I watched as he headed for the couch and dropped down next to Declan. While Stephan continued talking to me.

"Your house is amazing, lad," He grinned.

"Thanks," I nodded, "It's pretty much my mam's pride and joy."

"I noticed your sister's friend is here, but where's your sister?" Stephan asked, which didn't sit right with me.

Why the hell did he care where Addy is?

"Probably up in her room," I shrugged, "She's not big on parties."

"Understandable," He nodded, "Lad, you were fucking amazing in today's game."

"We had to win it," I replied.

"Declan, please," I heard Adeline crying and I was immediately on edge.

Declan charged into the sitting room and slammed his fist right into Stephan's face. Everyone in the room gasped and I was quick to spring into action.

I didn't know what the hell was going on, but I felt...concerned?

"I'm going to fucking kill you," Declan was screaming, his fists repeatedly hitting Stephan, "You're fucking dead."

Hughie and I tore Declan off Stephan, using my full force to hold him back.

"What the fuck!?" Stephan hissed, spitting out a glob of blood, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"You fucking raped her!" Declan screamed, "I know you did it! I'll kill you."

"What?" I roared, "What are you talking about?"

"Let me go," Declan yelled, "Let me fucking go."

"You're insane," Ronan sneered, "Get him away from my brother."

"He raped Addy," Declan was using all his force to try and escape Hughie and I's hold on him, "I saw the fucking bruises."

My heart actually stopping beating, and all the air was knocked out of my lungs. This guy pretended to be my friend all the while he had raped my sister.

I felt sick. I had invited him into our fucking house, I could only imagine how Addy felt.

Chaos then ensued.

Gerard dove at Stephan, tackling him to the ground, "You're so fucking dead."

In shock I released Declan, who charged at Ronan, while everyone else took sides. Hughie slammed his fist into the jaw of Greg, who claimed Addy was lying and I was swinging at Thomas.

I didn't give a fuck about the Academy in this moment, I was only thinking about Addy. I'd fucking kill Stephan if that's what she wanted.

I had Thomas on the ground and I was slamming my fists into his face, envisioning it was Stephan.

I felt fucking sick but anger was clouding my judgement. How the fuck could this have happened to my baby sister.

How could I let this happen?
How could I let that monster in my house?

"Pack it in!" Patrick's voice shouted from the doorway, "The Gards are on the way and you all shouldn't be fighting for this."

I didn't give a fuck.
They could arrest me for all I cared.

Stephan McGarry was going to rot in jail.

Or I'd murder him.
