I Found Him On My Doorstep <3

Get Out

“Cody!” I shouted for him.

“What? What’s wrong? Who is it?” he burst through the door but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Jake. His face turned red with anger. “Jake.”

“G’day mate” Jake smiled. He looked so innocent standing on my doorstep but if Alli was telling the truth then he was anything but innocent. Wait, Alli is telling the truth. Why would she lie? He moved forward tro try and get in through the door but I wouldn’t let him.

“Don’t even try to be nice to me” Cody sneered walking closer to the front door. “After what you did to my sister you have no right”

“Dude? What are you talking about? I didn’t do anything to your sister? Is she hurt? Is she okay?” Jake asked feigning concern or was it real.

“Don’t lie Jake, you hurt her...” Cody was getting angrier. I just got him to calm down and now look. All he seems to be doing these days is getting angry.

“I did not. If anyone is to blame for hurting her it’s you dude. You were the one who was always high and drunk leaving Alli to clean up your mess and me if I was there. You basically ditched the both of us and you blame me for hurting her” he was getting angry too.

“Jake, Okay I don’t know you but I swear to god if I find out that it was you that hurt Alli and my brother I swear to god I will hunt you down and hurt you.” I said. How could he deny this?

“And who are you?” he asked directing his speech to me.

“She’s mine” Cody stood beside me and grabbed my hand staring Jake down.

“Come on dude we are best friends. Don’t let this bitch get in between us?” Jake stated. Cody lunged towards him. They both fell of the front step and on to the grass at the bottom and started full on fighting. I rushed down there shouting at them to stop.

“Guys stop it! Don’t do this in my front garden!” I shouted and tried to pull them apart but it wasn’t working. I jumped ontop of Cody and tried with all my strength to pull him away from Jake but this time I succeeded. I looked down to his right arm and noticed that he crushed his cast.

“Inside now!” I shouted at the two of them and pointed towards the door. They both glared at each other but walked into the house. I followed them in too find Alli and Adam standing in the hall looking shocked. Alli jumped back when she saw Jake and stood behind Adam. Jake saw their entwined hands and it looked like someone had just slapped him in the face. Well Cody already did that but you know what I mean.

“What’s going on? What is he doing here?” Adam asked putting emphasis on the ‘he’.

“I came to see my best friend and his sister. You got a problem with that?” Jake spat at him. Adam opened his mouth to answer but I cut him off.

“Enough!” I shouted. “Kitchen now!”

Everyone did as I said. I wanted to get to the bottom of this. Why is Jake really here? Why did he come back if he was the one that hurt Adam and Alli? Why is he acting all innocent when he’s clearly not? So many questions and I was going to get answers to them. We all sat at the table and everyone looked at me. I sat down beside Cody to feel him shaking beside me and holding his still broken wrist.

“We can go to the hospital when we’re done kay?” I said to him and put my hand on his shoulder. H nodded but didn’t take his eyes off Jake.

“Jake explain why you are here, why you hurt my brother and why you came back to deny everything. Do you think we are stupid or something.” I said to him. He was silent for a second until I gave him a look that meant ‘Answer me now or you will not be able to have children’

“I came to surprise Alli” he stated, trying not to look in her direction beside Adam.

“Then why do you end up hurting her and Adam.” Cody Bellowed.

“Would you give me a chance to explain!” he shouted back. “I arranged it with Brad but when I got you your house he told me that both of you were at this address. I told him that I could just wait around until they come back but he said that you wouldn’t back for a while and gave me the address to this house. I dumped my stuff in your room and caught a cab over here.

“I didn’t expect to see you” he pointed to Adam “all snuggled up with Alli walking along the road. I got so angry seeing you with her. So I followed you into the forest but my anger took over me. I couldn’t help myself. Seeing you with the girl that’s supposed to be mine.” Jake was getting more and more upset as he spilled his feelings out in front of everyone. “I charged at you. I made sure that I didn’t Alli though. Only you. That should be me!”

“That does not give you a reason to injure my brother!” I screamed at him standing up. He cowered away from me as I took big breaths to calm myself down.

“I swear I had no intention of doing it. It just happened.” He whimpered.

“I don’t get it though.” Cody wondered aloud “You’ve never felt this way before...”

 “The whole time when you rebelled me and Alli got really close. After all we were all we had when you came back a mess.” Jake told him.

“Jake get out” Alli whispered not looking at him. “Just leave”

Jake got up from the table and pushed the chair back until it hit the ground and stomped his way out of my house. I let out a big sigh when I heard the door bang shut.

“Right, Cody we need to go to the hospital” I got up and got his jacket and helped put it on him. “You guys will be okay here yourself?”

“Yeah we’ll just go watch a movie in my room” Adam said pulling Alli along with him. I felt Cody stiffen beside me. After all of that he still isn’t okay about them.

“Go” I pushed him towards the front door and we caught a taxi to the hospital. We were silent the whole way there. I’ve never realised it before but if you make on bad mistake in our life it will never go away. It’ll always come back to haunt you.
