Chapter 10: Are you actually this stupid

Jayce
My father laughed menically.
"Take it from me son, Jake is as stupid as his father."
My dad has never been a fatherly type and everyone knew it.
I was a mistake. He was just playing around with some girl in high school and I was born.
He hated me with a passion.
I never meant for it to go this far.... I never meant to watch as Avery was mudered.
She was everything to me....
I tried to save her but I was cuffed to the chair, I couldn't escape.
Jake depised me after Chase swore up and down that I shot her.
But I would never, I loved her.
"He's not stupid, you are," I replied with gritted teeth.
My dad narrowed his eyes at me, "don't call me stupid boy."
"Jake's father is better than you'll ever be. He actually cares about Jake whereas you don't."
I knew he was gonna make me regret saying those words but he couldn't do anything he's never done before.
"Watch your mouth Jayce before you regret it," he seethed.
"I'm not scared of you!"
He reached up to collide his fist with my, on instinct I covered my face but surprisingly his fist never hit me.
"Don't touch him," a voice hissed.
I instantly knew who it was and to say I was surprised would be an understatement.
I looked at the man I called my father; I noticed his nose was gushing blood.
"You son of a-"
"Don't you bring my father into this, he wasn't the one who decked you in the nose Jason."
"Why the hell would you stick up for him?!" He spat.
Jake gave him a death glare, "because he actually has a soul, unlike you."
Jason glared at him before furiously hurrying to the bathroom.
"Why did you do that? I thought you hated me."
He looked me straight in the eye, "I'm not happy with you Jayce but no one should go through that. Besides I know you loved Avery."
A grin spread across my face as I thought about her, "I really did. Do you think I'll ever move on?"
He bit his lip, "you will eventually when you finally admit to yourself that she's gone...."
I never seen Jake so broken but once he thinks about Avery, it kills him.
"I don't want to Jake," my voice cracked.
He looked at the ground, "Jayce, at some point you'll have to realize that Avery is never coming back."
I guess I just don't want to tell myself that he's right.
"Its all my fault," I clenched my fists at my sides.
"Its Chase's fault not yours!" He was at this point screaming.
I knew exactly who's fault it was and it killed me. It killed me that she would do that to her own damn daughter!
"It wasn't Chase....."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"It was Katie," I replied with sorrow.
"My mom?!!" He yelled.
I nodded, "yep she shot her."
"Then why the hell was Chase there?!"
"He wanted her virginity but your mom wanted her dead...."
His eyes darkened, "that motherfucking bitch."
I probably should stop him but she deserves it. She killed her!
She destroyed everything I had.
"Well that bitch is gonna die," he growled.
I have no regrets on telling him.
"What are we gonna do?"
"We're gonna play the game."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
A smirk crossed his lips, "I know how to defend myself Jayce so I'm going to be a target."
"What?!"
"Relax dude, I'm just gonna pull her strings until she caves in and admits what's she done."
Is he serious? He's gonna be a dog laying around trying to get run over.
"You realize she could kill you?!"
He rolled his eyes, "I know my way around fighting Hamilton. I won't get hurt."
"So you're gonna purposely make her mad and pray she won't shoot you?"
"Nope I'm gonna act like I'm on her side and then I'm gonna pull her strings so she'll cave in."
I sighed. If he dies, I'll have a lot of explaining to do..... to the cops for Katie's murder.
Its self defense bitch.
Who are you kidding? Nobody believes self defense anymore.
"What are you gonna tell Blake and Brooklyn?"
"I'm gonna straight up tell Blake and I'm not telling Brooklyn anything," he ran a hand through his hair.
"Don't you think she'll get mad?"
"I'd rather her get mad than hurt Hamilton."
"But your risking your own life."
"She won't kill me."
"She killed your sister," the words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.
