Second Chances vol 2

Chapter 66

"You know there's smoke coming out of your ears right?" Samson asks from behind Jared. Jared growls as his fingers tighten around the railing, his knuckles getting whiter than they were before. "It really wasn't a good idea for me to come here." Jared sneers.

"It's taking every ounce of self-control I have not to go in that room and cut that asshole's throat," Jared growls. "Whoa, easy there, there will be no throat-cutting, because A, he's being guarded by police and B, that just wouldn't be wise, besides he was already charged with aggravated assault, he'll be in jail for a while," Samson said rubbing Jared's shoulder but Jared shrugged him off.

"In jail! You think I want that piece of shit in jail? I want him dead and don't you dare stand there and act all righteous with me. You charged at a man with a loaded weapon to save someone that isn't even related to you, you got shot and didn't even know it.

He didn't come to beat Chris up Samson, you know kick the gay's ass, no, he came to take Chris's life. He came to kill the man I love and I know for a fact that if you came home from one of your trips and found out that someone tried to strangle the woman you love and you knew who that person was and where to find them.

It wouldn't matter if ten police were guarding him, no one would be able to stop you from tearing through that asshole like a tornado through a boarding house! So please, do not tell me to chill, not right now Samson, not today!" Jared growls.

"If my baby couldn't defend himself, I would be planning his funeral right now! My heart hurts every time I think of how close I came to losing him and what's worse Mitch could've killed him and got away with it, no one even knew he was in town." Jared said with a groan.

"I didn't mean to downplay what happen to Chris but when you start talking about cutting people's throats....." "No, I'm sorry, and I understand what you're trying to say but hear me when I say when my guys are finished with him, whenever that time comes, he's going to wish this stab wound had killed him," Jared growls between clenched teeth.

"You wanted to see me?" Caleb asks entering Janice's room. "Mhm." "Well if it's to tell me how much you hate me, don't bother because you can't possibly hate me any more than I hate myself right now." He said with his head down. "I don't hate you Caleb and nither does Ty, no matter what he says, he doesn't hate you, you're his older brother, he looks up to you, so it's only natural that he, make that we, are very disappointed in you right now." She said softly.

"I didn't mean for this to happen Janice. I...never once thought..... that she would.....that what I was doing would cause her to lose her.....life." He said silent tears running down his face.

"Even the fling I had with her sister, that wasn't even supposed to go that far, I just thought I could marry Maya and still keep my other girls, especially when Maya was being so difficult and the others were telling me exactly what I wanted to hear." He said fighting back his tears.

"I'm not trying to bad mouth her or anything, but some of what they were saying was true, how Maya didn't deserve me, how she wanted to change me and how if I was their man, they would love me for who I am, and so much more, that yes I will admit made me feel good, on top of the world, invincible. I was wrong Jan, so wrong." He sobs.

She put her hands out to him and he walks over to her. She sat on the edge of her bed and held both his hands in hers. "She was so happy when I met her, so full of life, God I feel so numb; my wild cat, I still can't believe she is gone, as in really gone." He cried as his knees buckled and he sank to the ground in front of her.
