Brotherly Love [Discontinued]

Chapter 24

*Jay's POV*

I woke up with Ashley in my arms. Her head was in the crook of my neck.

She is so cute when she is sleeping. The way her gorgeous hair outlines her face perfectly. The way her nose crinkles up when she is dreaming. That sly smile she gets at random times. Gosh I'm lucky to have a girlfriend like her.

I looked around and saw that we had somehow made it into a very comfortable position in Ashley's bed. I looked up and saw Bell.

"Hello, " I said in a friendly voice.

"Hi. You know you aren't really allowed to sleep in the bed with the patients."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know."

"It's okay," she smiled. "I think they will make an exception for you two. You guys are quite adorable by the way."

"Thank you. What time is it?"

"It's only 4:30 a.m. You can go back to bed if you want. I will wake you up later."

"Thanks. You're real sweet Bell."

"By the way you two have been asleep for a while. It's Monday now."

"Really? Has anyone else seen us?"

"Other than the other nurses, no. Jake was advised to stay away for a day and Brittany didn't want to leave him alone. Since we couldn't exactly send you and Jake to the same hotel we decided to let you stay. Mainly because we were fairly certain you're girlfriend would fight for you to stay tooth and nail."

"Well you got that right. Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did."

"I mean a personal one."

"Sure. Of course."

"Do you have a crush on Jake?"

"Um. Yeah," she said as she blushed.

"He has a crush on you too. You should go for it."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I may have been fighting with Jake lately, but I still know my best friend like the back of my hand."

"Thanks for the information. Good night."

She walked out the door. I smiled at my powers of match making. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.

*Ashley's POV*

I woke up to find Jay hugging me. He was asleep.

Wow he is so hot when he is asleep. The way his hair falls perfectly over his eyes. That devilish smirk he always gets when he is happy. To sum it up in one word it's amazing.

I yawned and looked around the room I noticed someone standing by the bed. They look really angry. There was someone else crouching in the corner obviously afraid. I looked at the person standing over the bed again.

Oh crap! We are so screwed.

"Hi Jake."

"Wake him up," he said through his teeth.

"Um," I said in my 'cute' and 'innocent' voice as I shook Jay trying to wake him up. "Jay."

"Uhg."

"Jay get up," I said.

"What sweetheart?"

"Excuse me? Did you just call my sister sweetheart while sleeping in the same bed as her?"

Jay instantly woke up and shot up and out of the bed.

"Hi Jake."

"You really want to die don't you?"

"Jake listen."

"No, you listen. I am done with you! I want you out! That was the last straw!"

"Jake let me explain."

"The time to explain is over. You had your chance. It's out the window now. Get out!"

"Jake," I said getting out of the bed.

"Ashley stay out of this."

"Please." I got in front of Jay with my arms spread showing Jay to stay behind me.

"Ashley I said stay out of it!" He shoved me out of the way and I fell to the ground. I have never seen Jake so mad that he would actually hurt me. Physically hurt me. His anger made me cringe in fear. I guess that was why Britt was in the corner.

"Jake please." I was on the verge of crying.

"NO! For the last time NO!"

"Jake," I started crying now. I can't hold it back any longer. The tears rushed down my face. "Please just listen."

Jake looked down at me and saw I was crying. He sighed heavily.

"Fine. I'll listen, but only for Ashley's sake. Talk."

"Um."

"You have one minute starting now to give me at least one good reason to be in bed with my sister."

"Can we just tell them?" Jay looked at me in a pleading way. It had obviously upset him that Jake had pushed me, but he knew that if had tried to 'save' me it would only make the situation worse.

"Tell us what?"

Britt has gotten out of her corner.

"That me and Jay are," I said nervously. What if Jake gets even more violent? What happens if he kills Jay? I could live with him hurting me, but without Jay I don't know what I'll do.

"Dating," he finished.

Jake ran up to Jay and pinned him on the wall.

"Why were you in bed with her you perv?"

"We fell asleep, " Jay said trying to stay calm.

I am going to fall apart any second now. It looks like Jay is too, but his is from fear of dieing.

"In the same bed for an entire day!"

"Jake please calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down. How dare you take advantage of my sister like this."

"She is dating me of her own free will. Just ask her."

"She is sick. She can't remember anything or anyone."

"She remembers some things. Like how much she loves me."

"How dare you say that she loves you when she doesn't even know for herself," Jake said as he applied more pressure to Jay's throat.

"She does know why don't you ask her."

"Do you know how easily I could close your airway right now? All I have to do is add a little more pressure and BOOM no more Jay."

"Jake that's enough," I screamed.

"Ashley stay out of this."

"No! I may not remember everything, but I do remember how much I love Jay."

"Ashley, please just be quiet!"

"Jake let go of Jay right now. Or else."

"Or else what?"

"Or else you get tossed on the street and I will NEVER talk to you again."

Jake sighed and looked me in the eye. Probably to see if I was serious, which I am.

"This isn't over," Jake spat at Jay as he backed away and let Jay fall to the ground.

I walked over to Jay and helped him up. I kissed him lightly on the forehead and moved his bangs out of his eyes. I love those eyes so much.They are usually filled with love and happiness when looking at me, but this time all I saw was fear. Fear of me and Jake both. But who is he the most afraid of?
