Falling For My Brothers Best Friend

Stitches In hospital

Chapter 24

We were all in the reception area waiting for Johnny to come out. It turned out that he need stitches on his eyebrow, his lip and on his cheek. His nose is just badly bruised in some places.

"Jonathan Cooper family?" a lady with a clipboard came out and asked.

"Yeah that's us," I gestured to me, Jake, Lily and Francesca. Alex had gone off to make a phone call to his mum or something.

"You can go and see him now," she confirmed and I rushed into the room he was placed in.

He was sat up looking as happy as ever but with some White bits on his face. But apart from that he looked as good as new. Almost.

"How you feeling," Jake asked.

"Pretty good,"

"I was worried about you!" I exclaimed engulfing him in a hug then stepping back for everybody else to have a turn.

"Glad to hear it, but your boyfriends a bit of a pansy," he commented.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, he hit like, well.. You," he pointed to me.

I gave him a punch on the arm for that particular comment on my skills.

"Oww,"

"You deserved it Hun," Francesca rubbed his other arm.

"But I'm hospital sick,"

"But there's nothing wrong with your arms," I said slapping on the opposite arm.

"You did deserve it uncle J," Jake said from beside me.

"What happened to bro's sticking together?" Johnny asked back.

"Our bromance is awesome, you bromance with Jake is playing video games 24/7," I pointed out.

"Yeah and?"

"You suck at video games," I shouted in his ear.

Earning a few sidewards glances from everyone else in the hospital and an old granny glaring at me like I was the spawn of Satan.

"Where's your pansy assed boyfriend?" he switched the subject.

"I dunno..."

"I think I saw him down the hall and round the corner down there," Lily answered my (sort of) question.

"Thanks," I headed off to see him.

"What about me?" I heard Johnny shout out.

"I'll be back in a minute!" I hollered back.

"And here I thought we had something special!" I heard another comment from Johnny.

I exited out through the big White doors and out into the hallway. I turned down to the corner to see Alex still on the phone but it sounded like he was in a argument instead of in a conversation.

I was about to turn back to see Johnny, but before I did I couldn't resist listening in. At least for a couple of minutes, it wouldn't hurt anybody.

"I know mom!" he said annoyed.

Well at least I know that it's his mom and that he's not speaking to some other tramp from our school.

"Well what was I suppose to do?"

I decided to keep quiet for as long as I had to.

"It wasn't much of a choice,"

On punching Johnny? He could've you know, not hit him in the jaw?

"I can't exactly loose her!"

Her? Her being me? I'm confused?....

"But think about it,"

"It could ruin the act,"

Act? What act? What the bloody hell is he on about? Was he playing with me, with someone?

"We have history,"

"She was a safe bet!"

A safe bet? I'm REALLY confused now, what is up with him at the moment.

"No! I couldn't of used Ella!"

"She knows!"

Ella? What's she got to do with anything and why is she involved with Alex? I she cheating on me as well?

"Because I told her what to do and she did it for me, okay,"

What did she do!

"I mean, it was a good idea.."

"Getting Reed drunk at that party of his parents, I told you this before,"

Reed? As in SETH Reed?

"I told Ella to do it, because she's easy,"

He told Ella to get Seth drunk. It all makes sense now.

"She easy because once he was smashed out of his face he happily obliged to Ella,"

That's the reason he cheated on me! It was all Alex's fault. The lying son of a...

"She's the only way to cover it up,"

Covering what up?! There's so many questions floating through and around my head at the moment.

"I'm keeping calm,"

"Hopefully she'll forgive me and we can move on,"

Move on? Hell to the no.

"To the next part of my plan, I've told you this a million times mom!"

But I thought that his mum was so sweet, maybe not.

"Now I gotta go, see ya at home.. Bye," he finished his conversation.

I backed up round the corner and started to walk forward like I wasn't listening in. Much.

We met at the corner and bumped into each other and his smile turned upside down.

"Hey sweetie," he cooed.

"Don't you sweetie me," I poked him in the chest then crossed my arms.

"Were you listening in to my conversation?"

"Maybe,"

"How much did you hear?" he asked me.

"Enough,"

"I can explain..."

"What's going on?" I cut him off.

"Nothing to worry about, just something to do with my mum and Ella's mum,"

"Don't play that card with me,"

"Don't worry about it babe, every things under control," he swung his arm around my shoulder and started to walk.

I really didn't believe him..
