A New Perspective

Chapter Twenty Four - Truth Bombs

- Johns pov -

Two weeks have gone by, my life is still on the verge of being ruined and to make matters worse, anytime I'm alone with the brown headed goddess we end up in bed. Things at the office has been tense between Bill acting like I'm some scum of the earth and Sutton giving me the cold shoulder, once in a while I could hear the employees in the break room gossiping about it all. They didn't matter to me though, none of them. The only thing that mattered to me right now was convincing Brooke to not say shit to Kate or Sutton, I'd written her a check for ten grand but she just laughed in my face and gave it back. I had arranged to meet up with her tonight at her house well I should say Brendon's house come to find out, I was determined to get her to leave town and go be with him, that is what she wanted after all. "Yo! Johnny, wanna grab a few beers after work?" Brad asked as soon as I stepped out of my office, looking around Sutton was pushing the mail cart down the hall and Bill was talking with his assistant. "Not tonight, Brad. I've got a meeting to head to right now, you know how those drag out." He just nodded and patted me on the back as I walked past him, out of the corner of my eye I seen Bill glaring at me shaking his head.

"Mmm, baby... That feels so good." Brooke moaned as she tugged my hair, her legs tighten around my head keeping me in place. "Oooh, yeah! Just like that, baby!" She said pulling harder on my hair, after a couple more minutes she squealed out as she came all over my mouth. "You taste so fucking good." I said as I kissed her thigh and crawled up her body placing myself at her entrance, she just giggled and brought my lips to her tasting herself. "Brendon does it better, but you're getting there." Without another word I forcefully thrusted in her, she let out a cry of pain that gave me satisfaction. "You're a fucking asshole!" She seethed as I found my rhythm. "Then don't say his name while I'm fucking you, bitch!" I growled out picking up my pace, her moans getting louder. "Yeah, fucking me in the same bed he fucked your daughter in." With one final hard thrust I came inside her, I was beyond furious and tired now. "Brooke, just take the fucking money and go be with him. I promise you that Sutton won't come between you and him. Just please delete the videos and leave."

Me and mom were sitting in the living room watching keeping up with the kardashians, it was our guilty pleasure. Neither one of us really spoke about my father, he hardly came home and when he did he slept on the couch. "Dinner smells good, when is it going to be done?" I asked picking my phone up checking time and to see if I had any messages, it's been two long weeks since I've heard his deep voice. I try not to think of him but I can't help myself, I've left message after message trying to convince him to come home or at least call me but I get nothing. "It should be ready soon, I'll go check on it now." She said getting up and headed to the kitchen, it was nice when it was just us. There was no tension between us or even hostility, a knock at the door made me jump a little bit. It was nearing nine pm who would come by so late? I couldn't help myself as a little part of me had hoped it would be him on the other side of the door, maybe he had come back for me. "Mr. Thompson?" I asked as I opened the door, to his left was Collin. "My dads not here...?" He nodded his head and glanced at his son. "I'm actually here to see your mother, is she busy?" Just as he finish she came walking around the corner, I shook my head and let them both in.

Collin had taken me by the hand and asked me to show him to my room, he seemed to be in a serious mood so I didn't object. "What's going on?" I asked once he shut my bedroom door, he walked over and sat next to me on my bed. "I really care about you, Sutton." He said in a soft voice, I couldn't help but to frown. The last time I heard that was when Brendon told me, now it was being proven that it was a lie. "Why are you telling me this?" I whispered, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his chest. "Because, I know about you and Brendon.... And I know something that's probably going to make this a whole lot worse for you." Swallowing the knot in my throat I rested my head on his shoulder. "Who told you?" I asked. "My dad." Just as he said that I heard glass shattering in the living room, I was getting ready to go see what was going on when Collin grabbed my hand pulling me back into his chest. "Sutton, your dad has been cheating on your mom with Brendon's ex girlfriend." It felt like someone had punched me in the gut, I couldn't breathe. "Brooke? My dad has been seeing Brooke?" his arms wrapped around me tightly as the tears fell from my eyes, no wonder I hear glass shattering. I wanted to break something too, I wanted to hurt all of them. My arms wrapped tightly around Collin as we stood there in the middle of my room, I could feel him kissing my hair once in a while as I cried.

The next morning I woke up alone, quickly dressing I made my way into the kitchen only to find a note on the dining room table. Picking up the note I knew it was from her, I had really hoped the news that she had taken my offer and left. Opening it there were only two words 'You win' I could instantly feel the relief take over my body, now everything can go back to normal. After making sure the house was locked I hopped in my truck with a smile on my face, it feels like I haven't smiled in a long time. I decided to head home and change before I went into the office, Sutton's car was gone so I assumed that she had already left for work which was good for me because it gave me and Katie some alone time. "Katie?!" I called out as I walked into the eerily quite house, looking out the back window I seen her out in the garden. I made my way to our bedroom and noticed that some of our pictures were gone, she must have gotten mad that I didn't come home last night. "Well, she asked for it." I muttered to myself, after a nice hot shower I got ready and headed into the office.

Sutton's car was no where to be seen in the parking lot and she was no where in the office, asking around to see if anyone has seen her and everyone has said no. "Bill!" I greet him as I walk into his office, he didn't even bother looking up to acknowledge me. "Can I help you, Carlile?" Last name basis now? "Yes, where is my daughter?" He sat back in his chair and finally made eye contact with me. "She's spending the day with my son, I gave her a paid day off. I think she deserves it after all." I faintly recall me telling her to stay away from that boy, I chase one off and now she's probably spreading her legs for another. "She hasn't even been here two months, there is no way she has any pto. Plus I did not approve of this." I stated sternly, he just chuckled shaking his head. "Mr. Carlile, you seem to be forgetting that this is MY office, that you are MY employee that I hired in to help build my company up. I don't have to ask for your permission for anything!" I couldn't believe this prick! How dare he have the nerve to speak to me like that! "Very well then." I spat out and exited his office, I'll show him whose boss around here.
