Brotherly Love [Discontinued]

Chapter 8

"So, I'm a slut?!" She was screaming and marching over to me. She is so angry. I am dead. I can't believe they left me here alone.

"No, you're not a slut sweetheart," I said calmly trying to calm her down.

"You want to finish what you were saying before I walked in?"

"No, not really. It was.."

"So you were calling me a slut why else wouldn't you want to finish!"

"No, sweetness. It's j..."

"Why don't you just own up to your insults? You are such a wimp!"

"No, darling. If you would just let me finish my sent..."

"Shut up!"

"Sweet angle cake, please listen..."

"No we are through! You hear me Jay!"

"WILL YOU SHUT UP FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS AND LISTEN TO ME YOU STUPID BITCH!!!"

"OH! SO I'M STUPID AND A BITCH TOO?!?"

"NO! JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!"

"NO! YOU KNOW WHAT?!? I AM OUT OF HERE!" She started to walk away.

"MY BEST FRIEND JUST RAN AWAY BECAUSE OF ME! SO GO AHEAD AND LEAVE ME IF YOU WANT TO. SEE IF I CARE!"

"What?" She turned around. Her eyes had instantly changed from complete anger to understanding. That's one thing I loved about her, she didn't hold grudges if something important was the cause for it.

"Ashley ran away last night," I said blankly.

"Oh honey, I am so sorry. I didn't know. I know how much you loved her," she said in a comforting tone, but I don't want comfort. I want Ashley back home and safe.

"She is like my sister. I'm sorry I got short with you."

"Don't be. I should be apologizing to you. I'm the one who stormed in here and immediately started yelling."

"I just want her back." I was starting to cry.

"Do you know where she went?"

"Yeah, she went to California. She is going to live with her cousin. Until.." I stopped myself.

"What's wrong? Until what?"

"Until.." I can't tell her this. Can I?

"Honey I am not mad anymore you can tell me anything."

"Okay, but promise me you won't get mad."

"Why would I get mad at my little honeybee?" I hate it when she calls me that.

"Okay," I took a deep breathe. "She won't come back until you and I break up."

"WHAT!?!" She stood up in shock. "That BITCH Ashley! I knew that slut wanted to break us up from the very beginning!"

I heard footsteps on the stairs. I looked up and saw a very angry Jake stomping over towards Lilly.

"You are the STUPID UGLY SLUT!!" Jake yelled and slapped Lilly straight across the face.

"Hey! Don't just slap my girlfriend!" I stood up ready to pounce on Jake with all of the anger I had boiling inside me.

I don't know when she got here, but next thing I know Brittany is down here too. She was holding Jake back, and giving Lilly dirty looks.

"Sorry? Did you not hear what the bitch said about Ashley?"

"What did you say?" I turned to Lilly.

"I called her a bitch, and now I see it runs in the family," she said as she looked angrily at Jake. I was a little astonished by that.

"That's not all she said," Jake screamed as Brittany held him tighter.

"What else did you say?" Jake's anger was rubbing off on me. It was so hard not to scream.

"That the slut wanted to break us up from the beginning."

"STOP SAYING THAT!" Jake was screaming and attempting to break away from Brittany's grip. Wow that girl is strong.

"Stop saying what? That Ashley is a big, stupid slu.." that's all she could say before I slapped her so hard she fell back down on the couch.

"Don't even think of finishing that sentence unless you want me to hit you again."

"You don't have the guts," she said as she stood up slowly off the couch getting closer to me.

"Try me, bitch" I said calmly, but still forcefully.

"Ashley. Is. A. Big. Stupid. Slut."

At that point I pounced on her. Jake and Brittany were so stunned they just stood there for a minute. I had only landed one blow before Jake and Brittany were released from their spell. Jake quickly pulled me off of Lilly. Brittany helped Lilly up.

"GET OUT NOW! DON'T EVER COME BACK! DON'T EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN! DON'T EVEN THINK OF ME EVER AGAIN! GOT IT?" I started to pull out of Jake's grip.

"But Jay I love.."

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT FINISHING THAT SENTENCE! I KNOW YOU DON'T MEAN IT! NOW GET OUT," I screamed as I pulled out of the tight grip Jake had on me. I gripped her arm tightly, imagining it was her throat, and practically threw her out the door.

As I closed the door I turned and looked at the astonished faces of Jake and Brittany.

"I am going to California. Nothing you can do will stop me so either you are coming or you're not. You decide. I am going to pack goodbye." 

I stalked out the room and went to pack.

I don't know what was going to happen over the next few days, but there are two things I know are going to happen for sure...

I am going to California.

And I'm bringing Ashley home.
