Our Lives-(boyXboy)

Chapter 12

Jaden

It was two days since my talk with Uncle John, and to be honest I felt relieved to know that he is not mad at me or anything. I know he is disappointed but say what, I can't change what happened.

Chuckling at the memory, more like our childish actions.

A knock on my door pulled me out my trance. The door opened and reveled Uncle Leo, he stood at the entrance of the door, looking at me intently.

Can I come in? He asked. I nodded and he walked over to my desk and sat on the edge, he folded his arms across his chest.

So what's up uncle? I asked timidly. He raised his eyes brows at me.

Why don't you tell me Jaden, he fired back a little too fast, I looked at him curiously unaware of what he was talking about.

Jaden, when were you going to tell me about you and Simon? He asked, no emotions showed in his words. He then sighed and went on to talk. I understand that you won't want to tell me it's totally fine.

At least I know now, thanks to Simon and John. You both are not supposed to be hiding things from us. Especially things like this that caused your friendship to fall apart. Especially when it comes to family Jaden, you are my nephew and I don't like the fact that Simon told me everything and you told John parts of the story.

What I want to know , is this what caused you both to shun people, be mean, rude and what not? I simply nodded.

His eyes locked into mines, his intense stare had me uncomfortable for a bit.

Good to know the truth now! He exclaimed and walked out the room.

Deep down, I felt really bad from hiding things from him. I don't mean to but sometimes personal problems are what you keep to yourself, then again what he was saying is truth.

I felt stupid firstly for making his seem like a last resort, then double stupid for having his thinking he is not trustworthy and finally triple stupid because at the end of the day he is my uncle and my dad and I love him to no end. He has been there for me since birth to now and I have disappointed him again, twice in one week.

I sat and debated if I should go talk to him, after all he deserves an explanation and that he shall get.

I got up from my bed and went out the room. On my way I passed Simon room, I stopped and peeked in only to see him laying face up on his bed playing with a Rubik Cube, funny how he was concentrated on the cube rather than to see me standing at his door way.

Take a picture, it will last longer! He exclaimed, in a bore tone.

Oh okay cool, but I don't have my phone, the last I checked I'm grounded from using it. I think you also are grounded, right? I asked. I raised my eyebrows at him waiting for an answer.

His eyes darkened and he got off the bed and in an instant he was in my face. Stay the fuck out, he said in a deathly tone and slammed the door on my face.

I shook my head and made a statement that I never thought I would say after all the hurt.

You really feel Simon Reynolds that I give five cents about you, no I don't. After what you did to me. I don't think I can ever forgive you. Honestly I told myself when I go to college far away from you I'll be able to move on and forget about your sorry ass.

I only stopped here to say hi or maybe we can chill like old times before I take my leave. No, fucking no, you choose to be that stupid hot headed jock and asshole. Tears were burning my eyes and I ignored it. I maybe wanted to say thank you for siding with me, but no be that asshole you fucking want to be Simon, because after grads I don't want to ever see you again, all I want is to forget about you and that fucking stupid memory, no mistake.

Better yet who fucking knows, I might find someone better than you. A Mother Fucking Real Gentlemen, You hear that Simon, I'll find someone else and I'll bury that one night stand so far that it will be hard to remember.

You are a waste of time Simon, and believe it or not fuck you; I growled and kicked his door. I sighing, feeling relieved, apparently I say what I wanted to say, my body felt relaxed and light.

As I turn around I came face to face with Uncle Leo, he has a smile on his lips. From the sight of him I rushed and hugged him.

He held on to me as tight as I held on to him. It's okay kiddo, he cooed.

Let it all out, let it all out you know I'm here for you not matter what Jaden. I love you as much as the boys and John. Sometimes it takes something small to break us into pieces but it takes a family to help mend.

The tears didn't stopped flowing and I didn't let go of Uncle Leo. Gosh I love him I sobbed, I love his uncle Leo. He rubbed my back slightly, holding me tightly to him.

I know kiddo; I know and sometimes love hurts.

I'm also sorry about the café incident, I didn't mean too, It was just a misunderstanding and things got out of hand. I or we didn't mean to ruin anything of the school property Uncle Leo. Please forgive me, I really didn't mean to.

A new stream of tears came flowing out. Jaden, he said calmly, you have been forgiven way before you know it. You are my son and my nephew and sometimes you have to understand that as your uncle I expect more for you.

I'm not going to lie I was royally pissed at both you and Simon and I was having a rough day also. Sometimes when my plate is full and yours is half full, try to reach out and see my side of things. The same goes for your Uncle John, we both knows this and when he takes over the Reynolds business he is going to be even busier than before.

Just know we both love you both, no matter what you all do we won't love you any less.

Love you Uncle Leo, I said and he got up and extended his hands to pull me up. I gratefully accepted his hands.

Now go wash up, the boys will be home soon and dinner will be ready. I expect you both on talking terms at dinner. He shouted.

With that he went down the stairs and I retreated to my room.

Flopping down onto my bed I let out a long sighing knowing things will get better from here on.
