MATT'S POV

I could have killed Johnny right about now but that would definitely raise suspicions if I put him in a choke hold. I gave him the death glare as I continued to grill the meat, trying to ignore the icy stare from Brian as he sat nearby, that asshole definitely could tell I was bullshitting but until I came up with a better excuse I had to act this way.
Inwardly I felt horrible...like a coward. Flick didn't deserve to be treated like she didn't exist but I still hadn't figured out a way to broach the subject with Brian. I knew shit was going to fly when he found out but if I didn't tell him soon, Johnny Christ probably would in a moment of drunken stupor...which he was well on his way to being now.
I joined in with the stupid jokes the guys made up, drinking more beer than I planned on drinking while everyone else seemed to be hitting the liquor hard. Even Brian was loosening up now after being a dick when he first came over. "So, when are you going to tell us about this girl you're seeing?" Zack asked Brian, throwing a bottle cap at him as we all sat around and stuffed our faces. I watched Brian's face as he paled a bit before shooting him a look and downing a healthy shot of JD. "Dude, I already fucking told you. I'm not seeing anyone!"
Johnny laughed as he stumbled his way over to the cooler, grabbing a beer this time before plopping back down in his seat. "Yea fucking right Gates" his words slurred together as he shot me a devilish grin. I felt my gut drop out as I pleaded with my eyes for him to shut the fuck up, trying to not give myself away to the others. "You're dating someone just as sure as Matt is dating your little sister."
I swear to god everything happened all at once but in slow motion. Johnny just sat back and laughed and laughed, Zack looked shocked as fuck and Brian gave me the most murderous look I had ever seen on his face. He dropped his hamburger on the plate in front of him and turned towards me, his face growing redder and redder by the second. "What did you say Christ?!" he bit out slowly, his words practically growled out as he came up out of his chair at me. Luckily my size prevented me from falling flat on my back and I came up out of my chair as Brian lunged for me, landing a fist straight in my mouth.
Blood pooled in my mouth as I grabbed Brian's shirt and shoved him off me, hoping to get my feet under me as he lunged at me again. I could hear Johnny and Zack yelling at us in the background but my mind was focused on keeping Brian from pummeling me with his fists. I watched him calculate his next move and had to grin, I knew just what he was going to do and was prepared for it. I side stepped him as his fist came whizzing by my nose and wrapped my arm around his neck, putting him in a head lock. "DUDE KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF!" I panted as he thrashed and called me every name in the book. I looked over at the other two idiots, hoping for some help but I could see I was on my own, neither of those pussies wanted to get in the middle of me and Brian.
I was just about to choke him out enough to get away when a solid punch to my gut knocked the wind from my lungs and made me want to puke all over the place. I released my arm from around his neck, propping my hands on my knees as I sucked in great gasps of air. Brian made a move like he was going to come after me again but thankfully Zack stepped in and grabbed him with both arms, turning him towards the house. "Dude fucking chill!" I heard him yell at him as he struggled to hold him back. I finally got the air back in my lungs and went storming over, intent on kicking Brian out of my house until he cooled off, there was no point in talking to him anyways but he beat me to it.
Brian threw Zack's arms off him, shoving him away before turning to me angrily. "We're fucking through do you hear me?! THROUGH! Fuck you, you piece of shit! AND STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" and with that he was gone, slamming my front door so hard I heard something break as his tires pealed out of my driveway.
I stood there in the middle of my backyard, trying to cool my temper but fuck I was PISSED! Who the hell did he think he was, telling me who I can and can't date! I turned to Johnny who actually had the decency to look ashamed and jabbed my finger in his chest. "Get the fuck out of my house short shit. You've fucked up enough shit for today." I didn't bother waiting to see if he would listen, instead storming in the house and up to my room. I had to warn Flick...I had to tell her what had just happened. I grabbed my phone and dialed her number quickly, hoping like hell she would answer it but sadly, I just got her voice mail.
"Felicity it's me. You need to call me asap. And don't answer any of your brother's calls or texts. Baby, he knows about us. Call me immediately!" I hung up my phone and felt something heavy drop in my gut, shit was about to get really bad and I wasn't sure what it meant for anyone...or the band.
