If I Fall

Chapter Two

Eden (Aprils best friend) insisted on her and April taking a night out. She had already told her she needed to be home to watch mum and study but Eden already went ahead of herself and got permission from her mother. Aprils next excuse was that her brothers didn't want her going out but Eden didn't care about their opinion. She hated Jason with a passion.

Eden went out of her way to buy a new dress for April. It was a black and white strapless dress that showed her figure. Eden went for a brighter dress, a red cocktail dress. And damn, the two girls didn't look this good since their year twelve formal. Even though the girls were wearing heels, they merely reached the shoulders of the giraffes they called brothers.

"We're coming too" Jason smiled over his shoulder to Eden. She rolled her eyes at him.

"No you're not" Eden smiled back.

"Yeah, it's been a while since us boys have gone out. It'll be fun, Eden. Chill, is it that time of the month?" Jason loved killing Eden with his sarcasm.

"No, April needs some girl time with just us alright. She needs some freedom"

"Calm down E, not like yous are gonna get laid tonight"

"Jase shut up," April said before walking into Christians room.

"You alright to stay here alone with mum?" Christian looked at her and nodded.

"Ae, don't try to sneak out, remember I have cameras everywhere and I do keep track of them on my phone. Don't think about sneaking out. I'll be back before midnight" April kissed her brother on the forehead and walked out. She smirked to herself knowing her brother can't get away without her knowing.

Eden and April joined the group of boys outside.

"Eden you'll ride with me, Tevita, Una and Sefa. April you're with Nicholas, Jerry, Dion and Roger" Jason told them.

"my cars working fine tho" April argued with her brother. Her and Eden quickly power walked to her car and got in. They drove off without looking back. Jason groaned in frustration, he knew that his sister was one stubborn lady.

By the time the pack of boys arrived at the club, the two girls were happy from their drinks and dancing around like no tomorrow.

Jason shook his head, his sister only acted like this when she was around Eden. And he didn't like it. The boys sat in a booth with a clear view of the girls. Ordering shots after shots to keep them up. Random girls began to pull each boy tup with them to dance. When a girl tried to pull Roger up, he kindly waved her off and sat by himself. His eyes focused on April as if she was the most interesting thing in the room.

April saw Roger by himself and walked over to him, feeling a little bit tipsy.

"Why ain't you up with the rest of the boys"

"Don't feel like it"

"Come on" She chuckled grabbing his hand and leading him to the dance floor. She spun around smiling at him.

"Why you ita (mad) for?  Dance you flop" She held onto both his hands, making him dance with her.

"Excuse me miss, my friends a bit moody tonight. Would you mind making his night?" April tapped a palangi girl behind her who was obviously checking out Roger. On the inside, Roger whined a bit seeing April walk off. But he brushed it off, Roger had no time for crushes, especially not his best mates sister.

Throughout the night, the group enjoyed it. Smiling and laughing. It was quarter past ten and they all met up back at the booth for more drinks.

"Eden cant drink uce, her bedtimes soon" Jason laughed, talking to Dion.

"Jason shut up" - Eden

"nah baby I'm fine" Jason smirked at her.

"You fkn d*ck. You have no manners, you're always on my back about the stupidest shit, you never pay attention to any important shit. You emotionless bastard-" Without warning, Jason crashed his lips against Edens to stop her from talking. The whole group was stunned. They acted more like enemies than lovers.

Then the two disappeared, leaving April alone with the boys.

"I might gap it too. Promised Chris I'd be back before 12.  Yous have a good night and be safe " April yelled over the music.

"I'll drive you" Roger got up, said his goodbyes then followed April to his jeep.

"What about my car?"

"Give me your keys"

April reached for her keys from her handbag and passed it to Roger. He threw the keys to Jimmy.

"Jimmy you better take care of my car" April yelled before walking out with Roger. He helped guide her to the car without falling. As soon as Rogers door shut, he pushed on the ignition and sped off. April noticed something different tonight. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but she knew something was up with Roger. Oh well, she's half-drunk. If she says something, she could always pretend it didn't happen and blame it on the alcohol.

"What's up with you tonight?"

Roger clenched his jaw tight. He didn't know if what he was feeling was love or just something temporary, I mean, he couldn't honestly be capable of love? Of holding a relationship? Staying focused on one girl alone. He was just tired, yup that's it. Just tired. Roger forgot all about the question that April just asked.

"Is it a girl?"

"Yes"

"Oh"

"April, I'm joking. I'm just tired"

They spent the rest of the car ride quiet. April thanked him and slid out of the car as Roger watched to make sure she entered the house. April was thinking of something else as well. Did Roger really have a girlfriend? Shit April, you shouldn't be thinking about him. You shouldn't even be checking out your brothers best friend. It's illegal. Roger isn't the type to get into a relationship.

April shook off the feeling and walked into Christians room. He was sitting up on his bed and on his laptop.

"Your back early"

"Yeah Eden gapped it and I didn't feel like staying" She returned a faint smile. April looked around the room, something was off.

"You spent the whole night in here" She was walking around the room.

"Yeah"

April walked past his closet and stared at it for a while before looking back and Chris to see his reaction. His eyes were glued to his phone screen now. April bit her lip and opened the closet door which revealed the same girl from the other night. This girl was so lucky she was wearing clothes. April smirked at her brother knowing well enough he will get it after she handles this girl.

April grabbed her by her hair and dragged her outside, a straight hook to her face and then she continued to drag her onto the side walk. April closed the gate and then locked the front door. She stormed up to Christians room. He sat up from his bed, with every step closer that April took, Christian flinched.

April waved her hand up to slap him but her hands stopped midway.

"You don't want to be a father, I won't let you be a father. I catch you pulling shit like this one more time and I'll cut your dick off" She smiled and kissed her brother on the cheek.

He had just witnessed the act of a psycho woman who was his sister
