Damon Mortimer:

We were all sitting around the meeting table, dad at the head of the table with mum to his left and Ray to his right. Annie was sat next to him and next was Paul that was sat next to my mum. I was next to Annie and next to me was Kendyn. Across us were Carter and the man that is my uncle, Ben.

My fists clenched and unclenched because I have my dick face of a best friend next to me that I want to punch the living daylights out of and across me is the man that hurt my mum by leaving her at a time she really needed him and by faking his death. Who does that?

Dad was getting everyone in check and telling everyone what to do. It was really weird to have Carter and Ben next to each other because it was like we time travelled and saw a younger version of Ben than an older version of Carter. Freaky.

Kendyn kept fidgeting, his leg bouncing up and down getting on my nerves.

"Would you stop that?" I growled turning to Ken. That brought the attention of the whole table and things when silent.

He looked at me straight in the eyes and continued bouncing his leg, a lot harder this time on purpose. We had a stare down before I couldn't take it anymore and pushed him off his seat jumping on him and started throwing fists at him.

"BOYS! STOP THIS!" I heard my mum yell, but Ken and I were still at each other's throats.

It wasn't until I was lifted off him and held back by my dad and Ray as Kendyn was held back by Ben and Paul.

"You need to stop this, boys." my dad's voice boomed.

"He started it!" he complained like a kid.

"Yeah, and I'll finish it!" I said Matching his tone. We both wanted to pull out of the hold the guys had on us.

"Are you listening to yourselves? You sound like kids!" my father added.

"This is all your fault," I grumbled sending a harsh glare to Kendyn.

"If it weren't for you she would still be here, safe. If you weren't such a dick!" I yelled at the end.

"Me? Sure, I know I fucked up but she didn't leave me time to explain! I know I messed up and I realise that this is my fault. I don't need my best friend to rub it in my face even more!" I saw him crumble and his walls fall.

"I love her man and I feel fucking terrible about all this... your not the only one that lost her. " I saw clear liquid running from his eyes. He was crying.

"And now I've not only lost the woman I love but my best friend too," he confessed making me feel like shit. The men let us go since we gave so sign of wanting to hit each other anymore.

"I can't deal with this anymore." he gave me one last look before turning around and leaving the room slamming the door behind him.

I moved away from my dad and Ray and took a seat calming my breathing.

"Everybody out. I need to talk to my son." I heard my mum call out and then the pitter patter of feet leave the room.

"I messed up mum didn't I?" I asked lifting my head up from my hands. She sighed and took one of my hands in hers.

"Baby boy you have to understand where he is coming from too. Let him explain himself to you. It isn't what you think it out to be. I know he loves her, you love her too but there is no reason to fight. That won't help to bring her back to us."

She pulled me into a hug like when I was younger rubbing my back.

"I'm scared mum" I honestly spoke knowing I couldn't lie to my mum anymore.
