Chapter 36 ~ Talk of the devil

Cal ~

I was woken up by my phone ringing on the bedside table beside me, I didn't recognise the number but picked up anyway for some unknown reason. As soon as I heard his voice my whole mood fell.

"Mate don't hang up please. I want to talk" I heard Luke plead.

"Why should I listen to what you have to say?" I shook my head in disbelief.

"Because we were like brothers, Cal! You can't turn your back on brothers, we never leave each other" he really sounded desperate.

"What do you want?" I ask getting annoyed with him.

"Meet me, please"

"Where?"

"Ash's"

"Why Ash's?"

"I've been talking to him, he's the only one that didn't shut me out"

My fist curls into a ball "fine I'll see you at Ash's!" I almost growl before slamming the phone back on the table. Alee looks at me, her eyes wide "was that Luke?", I slowly nod and pull her into me, I wrap my arms around her "don't worry about him, I can handle him and I won't let him hurt you or any of us!" I reassure her. Alee nods and buries her face in my chest.

Later on at Ash's I'm sitting in the living room with Ash and Mikey, we're waiting for Luke, if he even dares to show. Maybe he lost his nerve! I'd already had words with Ash about his secret conversations with Luke, I wasn't pleased one bit to be fair!

Then the door bell rang, I tensed up. Ash got up and went to the door, he opened the door and then I heard Luke's voice. The guy who tried to stop my marriage and kill me was in the same building as me, I was doing very well not to kill him right now actually.

Luke stepped into the room, he glanced at Mikey and then me, he could barely make eye contact with me... yet he calls us brothers! Yeah right. I observed him, his hair was unusually messy and not styled in it's quiff, he looked drained and rough and had bags under his eyes. He wasn't the Luke I remember! He sat down opposite me and looked at me, I scowled and my hands curled up into fists.

Ash took a seat next to Luke since Mikey was next to me. Luke and I stared at each other in awkward silence for about ten minutes. Eventually Mikey piped up "how are you Luke?", I glanced at Mikey as if to say 'you're making small talk with that psycho?', Mikey sighed and shrugged. Luke studied us warily before answering "not too great, I don't sleep, I've got barely any reason for existing apart from the hope that you guys might take me back one day and my family hate me"

I glare at him "oh poor you, Luke! Poor fucking you! Ever think about what you did to deserve all that? About the hell you put Alee and myself through? No?

You wouldn't!" I shout at him. He looks at the ground "I know I was in the wrong" he mumbles. "I didn't hear you" I taunt him. Luke stands up "you don't get another chance to hear it!" he snaps. I stand up too "oh really?! You're pathetic" I spit at him.

Luke chuckles "oh Cal, you always were the weak one of the band" he criticises. With that I take a swing for his jaw but get his eye instead, I try again and hit him square in the jaw before catching him in a headlock

"Yeah? Who's the weak one now?"
