The Bad Boy OR The Best Friend

"What the hell are you doing here, Saw? Half naked on top of that?" Evan's loud and almost angry voice booms throughout the room and I wince.

Evan doesn't really get angry, yes, he gets pissed easily, but he rarely gets angry. But his tone is a clearly indication that this is him beyond pissed off, this is him angry.

"I—" Sawyer starts but shuts his mouth almost immediately when he sees Evan seething.

Jordan, however, takes a step forward to stand between the two brother and I internally yell at him because that's the last thing he should be doing!

"I can explain." He starts and I slam my hand against my forehead, because this situation couldn't get any worse.

Oh, it can. Sawyer almost loses the grip on his towel and I immediately look away but when I am sure that he's decent, I look at the three of them and my eyes flicker to a very helpless Chris, who's just judging the whole situation as I am. But he's a little bit more at loss because he doesn't know Evan and Sawyer that well, at least not Evan, I don't know about Sawyer and his bond.

"Oh my fucking god, how the hell did I not connect the dots earlier." Evan closes his eyes, the realisation of the situation hitting him hard. "He's your boyfriend that you are always talking about, isn't he?" He points at Jordan, his eyes flickering between the two of them.

Breanna's staring at the whole situation with wide eyes and when she looks at me for some kind of help, I just shrug at her.

"He is." Sawyer says, his head hanging low and the look of hurt taking over Jordan's face.

I know he's not ashamed of Jordan, he's just ashamed that his brother had to found out this way. Evan's hands turn into a fist as he stares at the two of them.

"That day, when we were at home and you did that two finger salute thing with An, and you immediately asked about Jordan! Shit." He curses, realisation hitting him hard before he turns to Jordan, "And you, you have been screwing my brother all this while we have been hanging out? Never felt like telling me?" He looks at Jordan.

Well, he has right to be mad at Sawyer, but he's just being an asshole to Jordan now. And I can't stand that, so I speak up, "Ev, don't talk to him like that." I say, his eyes snapping to mine.

At first, there's a little softness behind them as he looks at me but then his face pales as he just keeps staring at me, "Please, for fuck's sake, tell me you didn't know about this." He says, his voice harsh yet hopeful as he keeps looking at me.

I immediately look away for a second before my eyes fixing back on him as hurt takes over his features, "It wasn't my place to tell, Evan." I say and he just stares at Sawyer.

"You told her and not me?"

Sawyer opens his mouth but doesn't say anything. So I speak up again, "He didn't tell me, I just found of accidentally." I tell him but he just keeps staring at me.
