(Chapter 6)(a friendship tested)
(Brantley's p.o.v)
'Finally back home' I thought. I walked through the door . I took off my jacket. Jack was watching my home video's ,
'Aw, shit!' ' hope he ain't found video 7'. I thought. I threw my keys and they landed on the counter . Catching Jack's attention.
He looked straight at me. " you loved her". He spoke barley above a whisper. " I still love her ". I say.
I knew he'd seen most of the video's and this was a very delicate situation .
" but look, back then, it was like I don't know, it was like I wanted to marry her, but now it's only like sibling love, I swear. " I say. " kinda like I'm her big brother." I say.
There was a long silence, I got nervous.
" you watch all seven". I ask.
" I only found six." He says, I mentally smacked myself .
" why, what's on seven"? He asks. I had to tell him sooner or later.
I wish I could tell him with her here. " uh, on seven it's uh"." We didn't mean to video it, I was telling her a story and well we kinda..." " it lead too"..."
I stopped. " wait so you two..made love".? He asked stupidly. I buried my face in my hands. " yeah". I say. " why wouldn't she tell me?!!!" He asked raising his voice. " she's scared to tell you , she thinks that you'll get mad, like you are now." I said.
" you kissed her, asked to marry her , and then, you had sex with her. " "why shouldn't I be pissed about this". He said. " cause none of it happened recently it all happened before ya'll were together."! I say loosing my temper.
I walked out of the house mad as hell. But stopped halfway down the front porch steps. " wait a minute!" I say to myself. " what the fuck am I doing, 'I' live here". I say storming back in my house. " you got a problem, then you get the hell out my house."! I growl. "Fine"! He says. He leaves angerly slamming the door behind him.
I buried my face in my hands knowing Joy would hate me tomorrow.
