Southern Comfort

23. Incomplete

  I sat on the back porch with a beer in my hands when Gen walked out to me.

                I glanced up at her. “What is up with you?”

                Gen walked over to the porch railing, “If you know something, do you say something or do you hid it to protect someone?”

                I stood up slowly and looked back at her, “What is going on?”

                Gen looked me in the eyes. “I am leaving Jared.”

                I kept just looking at her when Jared and Jensen walked out on the porch with us laughing with beers in their hands.

                Gen grinned back at Jared as I just stood there.

                Gen looked back at me as she just kept playing them all.

                She was about to ruin Jared but she didn’t wanna walk away from him. She wanted him to hurt as bad as she has been hurting. She wanted to be the one that pushed the knife farther into his heart.

                She was going to kill him with this.

                Jensen looked down at me, “Hey are you ok?”

                I nodded my head back at him as I grabbed my beer and went back into the house.

                Blake glanced up from her laptop.

                I tossed my beer into the sink as Blake jumped back to get away from the glass. “What is your problem?”

                I looked back at her when Gen came running into the house.

                I pointed back at her, “You aren't dragging me into this! I won't do this for you!”

                Gen looked back at Blake then back at me, “You can say all you want but I'm not backing away from this.”

                “You are so fucking stupid. After everything, after every kiss, every hug, you just wanna do this?”

                “I have to do what is best for me!”

                “What is best for you is to stay around! You can't just pack up and move when you get low, you can't keep running!”

                Gen grabbed something from the counter and threw it at me, “I can't be like you Brooklyn! I will not remain in something even when he tries to kill me!”

                “You wanna bring that up then bring it up! But I can promise you that what you are doing is the one thing that will kill you.”

                Gen narrowed her eyes back at me, “You really think this is the straw?”

                “If not, I will break your back.” I shouted back at her.

                Blake reached around and grabbed my side but came up with blood on her hands.

                Gen had thrown a knife at me and it had grazed my side.

                Blake looked at me then back at Gen, “I mean do you two have to do this now?”

                Gen narrowed her eyes back at me, “Say whatever you want Brooklyn. I am done.”
