Chapter5.
"Drew what are you doing here?" My voice was shaky as I asked him.
"I came to show you that I really can make a difference in your life, that I can help you. But after tonight, all of this. My by brother, fucking this random guy." he nodded in JC's direction. "I'm not sure I even want to anymore. I'm beginning to believe your hopeless. The way I see it you'll be a slut for the rest of your life."
The tears were already rolling down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do or say. I was completely speechless.
I looked at JC with pleading eyes and he immediately stepped in.
"Drew, I think that maybe you should leave. You have no right talking to Lex like that."
"And who the fuck are you to be budding into this asshole? You already fucked her so there's no need to show off and try to start something." The hatred in his voice made my already sinking heart fall even farther.
"I'm not some random fuck dumbass. I'm her brother so step off and don't talk to my sister like that." JC came to my side and put his arm around me protectively.
"Alex doesn't have a brother. So don't fucking mess with me right now!" I've never heard someone so angry.
"and how would you know if she has a brother? You've known her for what? Two, three days?" JC tried to sound calm but I knew he was getting really pissed off.
Drew didn't answer so JC continued.
"That's what I thought. Now get off my property before I kick your ass."
"I dare you to even try to get a hit in douche bag." Drew said in a taunting voice.
I have to stop this before it gets out of hand.
"Guys, lets just calm down. There's no need to be fighting." I said taking a few steps toward them.
"Stay out of this Alex." JC said as he looked back at me.
Just as he was looking at me Drew punched him square in the jaw. JC didn't go down but there was a small cut on his lip. He started hitting Drew back and before I knew it they were both going at each other.
I was yelling and screaming for them to stop but it didn't seem to work.
I couldn't take it anymore. I saw an opening when they both stepped back so I went in between them. I got them to stop only after Drew punched me in the gut.
I instinctively put my arms over my stomach as I fell to my knees in pain.
JC was at my side as soon as my knees hit the cold wet grass.
"Lex, are you okay? Here let me help you." he grabbed my arm to help me up.
"Alex, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to-"
I cut Drew off before he could finish his apology.
"Just please leave Drew." my voice was barely a whisper.
I found it hard to talk, let alone breath without feeling a sharp pain in my abdomen.
"But Alex, it was an accident. You have to know I wouldn't do this purposely. Is there anything I can do?" his voice was pleading.
Thankfully I didn't have to talk again because JC stepped in.
"I think you've done enough. She wants you to leave, so just go." he sounded demanding.
Drew began to walk away but after a few steps he turned around and looked right in my eyes and said, "I truly am sorry Alex for what I did and especially for what I said. I hope you can forgive me."
With that, he left. The last thing I heard was a car engine starting and tires squealing on the cold wet pavement.
All that was left was silence.
"Come on lets get you inside." JC said as he helped me to my front door.
I unlocked the door and went into the kitchen. My stomach wasn't hurting as much and nothing was broken. I could tell when I touched my ribs. But I knew I was going to be sore tomorrow and that I'm going to have a pretty nasty bruise.
I led JC upstairs into my room.
"Let me get you an ice pack Lex." said JC.
"Uhm, sure. Check in my freezer. I keep one in there for after cheer practice. Relaxes the muscles."
"Alright, be back in a flash." he said with a faint smile.
I went over to my bed and laid down. I closed my eyes and thought about my day. Its really overwhelming. I was taken from my thoughts when I felt the cold ice on my stomach.
"Thanks for the warning." I said sarcastically.
"No problem." JC said with a smirk on his face.
"So what now?" I asked.
"We stay up late and watch movies that are so stupid you cant help but laugh." JC said as he sat down beside me.
"Sounds like a plan." I was now smiling.
JC went to put a movie in and as he came back he had a look of confusion on his face as if he was deep in thought.
"What's on your mind?" I asked him.
He immediately snapped out of it and said, "ohh, nothing. Just thinking."
"About what?" I questioned him.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it."
Okay, I know we were just re-united but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that there's something wrong.
"You're lying." I said.
"Am I really that transparent?" he asked.
"A little. So spill, what's on your mind?"
"Well, there was a reason I was so anxious to see you today." he said sounding a little nervous.
He continued. "As soon as I saw you on the water in that boat, I knew it hadn't gone away." he sat at my side and grabbed my hand.
"What hadn't gone away?" I asked in a low voice.
"These feelings." He put his head down.
"Feelings?" I asked not knowing where he was going with this.
He looked up into my eyes.
"I'm in love with you Lex. I have been since we were kids and I realized today that I still am."
Just when I thought my life couldn't get any more complicated my best friend decides to declare his love to me.
Why me?
