Monster of a Mate (On Hold)

●Chapter 43●

I awoke by the sound of someone knocking on my door.

I yelled, "Go away!" and snuggled closer to my teddy that Jake got me.

You have to get you one of these! They're so cuddly! Ah!

I smiled and was finally going back to sleep.

"Belle! Get up this instant or else," Jake said.

"Do what you want. I don't care," I yelled back.

Ugh! He's disturbing me! I need sleep.

"Belle! " he said lowly with frustration.

Okay, if it's one thing I don't like. It's when my brother gets angry with me.

"Okay. I'm coming," I said and sleepily got up.

I rubbed my eyes to try to fully awake.

I walk slowly towards the door and open it, only to reveal my brother.

And he does not look happy.

"Hey bro," I said.

"Can I have the room for a sec? Oh, by the way a bed is being posted here for you," he said.

"Yeah sure. And what? Did you purchase a bed online for me?" I said smiling.

"Yeah I did. I figured you needed your personal space since the burglary so yeah I got one for you," he said face now relaxed.

There we go. Won't want him erupting on me like a volcano, now would we?

"Okay. I'll just leave now," I said and came out of the room.

"The room's all yours, sir," I said and bowed.

He gave a stiff smile and closed the door.

I huffed and walked downstairs.

I went to the living room and sat down cross legged.

I sense something's wrong with Jake but I need proof.

He just doesn't seem okay.

He normally has a higher tolerance level and definitely smiles a lot at the stupid stuff I do at random times.

But all he gave me was a stiff smile and I'm supposed to accept that? Hell no.

I'm going to find out what's wrong with him.

But I'm really hungry though.

No, now's not the time of thinking about food.

Mission is: Find out what's bothering Jake. Help him. Make him feel better.

After all today's Old Years Day and by the end of it, he should be his usually perky self.

I climbed the stairs and went to the door.

I knocked and he didn't answer.

I pressed my ear against the door to try to hear anything possible.

All I heard was the shower.

Okay, he's just having a shower.

Or he just wants you to think he's having a shower.

Definitely the last one.

I went into my room and climbed out of the window on to the ledge and carefully balanced myself before I started to walk.

When I had reached his bedroom window, I opened it and climbed in and went to the bathroom door which was closed.

"Jake? Are you okay?" I asked trying to pitch my voice over the sound of the shower.

I waited for a response but he didn't reply.

"Jake! Are you okay?" I yelled.

I knew he heard that.

No reply.

"Jake?!" I yelled again at the top of my voice.

"Yeah..." he said lowly.

Do I detect sadness in his voice?

"Oh my god. You got me so scared. I thought you were-" I said and then he interrupted me.

"Were what? Dead, right? Yeah, I wish I was," he snapped back.

Woah. What's up with him?

"Okay. What's wrong?" I said.

"Nothing," he said quickly.

"Do you think I'll just accept that? I'm your sister. You can tell me," I said basically pressed up against the door.

"And what would you do? It's not like you're going to help me. No one can," he said.

"That's not true, Jake. I can. I can help you. If you just let me help you," I said.

"Right? And what will you tell me? Huh? What? You can even help yourself so how will you help me?" he snapped.

"You know what, I'm out here trying to f^cking help you and this how you show your gratitude to your sister. I'm trying to help you and you're just pushing me away," I said.

"Belle. Just leave me alone," he said sounding tired and frustrated.

"Yeah, no. I can't do that. You're going to tell me what's the matter right this instant," I said determination filling my voice.

He might be my big brother but I'm his sister and I'm here for him.

"Sure. Okay. I'll tell you what happened," he snapped.

"We were f^cking going out. I carried her to this top restaurant. I spent my f^cking money to take her out to some top f^cking restaurant. Then when we took a seat, we talked and then this waiter comes over and ask for our orders. But here's the joke, he flirted with her in front of me. Right in front of f^cking me! Like I never existed! And you know what, she f^cking flirted back and asked him for a tissue. I felt so used and so angry. Being the gentleman that I am, I ignored it. Then he came back with our orders and it gets even better, he passes a tissue to her and she takes and acts as if it was for her to use. I totally chose to ignore that. And of course, I was getting pissed off but I controlled my anger. Now when we were on our way to her home, she got a message. I saw her grabbed her phone and I'm assuming when the message opened, she started to smile. So of course, I was suspicious but I just chose to f^cking ignore it. She was on the phone the whole ride back to her place. When I asked her, she said it was just a friend. Oh we all know that just a friend means potential f^ck buddy. Anyways, I grabbed her phone and obviously she fought for it and when I read it, it was the f^cking waiter guy. Can you believe it? It was the f^cking waiter and she was telling him, that they'll meet up after her annoying boyfriend drops her at her place. I threw the phone at her and stopped the car and told her to get the f^ck out. And that's when she dropped the bombshells on me. She had slept with 6 men while in the relationship with me and that I was loser and that I was just a toy for her to play with for money." he said and laughed.

"Can you believe it? I've been with a h0e all this time. A f^cking wh0re!" he said and sighed.

"I'm never gonna trust girls ever again. I had put everything I've got into her and what does she do? She breaks my heart. That's what you get for being a good guy. I loved her and she used me like a cigarette and stepped on me repeatedly without me even realizing it. I was so stupid. So dumb. So naive," he said then sighed again.

I was dumbfounded.

I wasn't shocked but dumbfounded.

I knew it! She was and still is a motherf^cking h0e!

"Open the door, please," I said.

"Just a sec," he said with a choked voice, "I need a moment."

I nodded.

"I totally understand. Don't be too long though," I said.

He didn't answer but I was sure he heard me.

Look at what love did to my brother.

I wonder, how would I react if a guy does that to me?
