The Business Deal ||D.J.S✓

21.Tears

Recap: And she had hanged herself

________________________________________________

Daniel looked into the room, and then slowly helped Carly stand. Tears were rolling down her face, the last of her biological family gone. It didn't occur to her that she would now be the heir to everything. But it did to someone else.

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING" Jake Henderson growled into the phone. "Yes, shes dead. I'm was just outside the room right now" A voice came from the other end. "OH MY GOD" Jake yelled, pushing everything off his desk. "Jakie baby? You alright?" Diana asked opening the door, only to be met with a mess of an office.

"What about Carly? Is she getting closer to Daniel?" Jake asked and the voice replied again.  "Shes sobbing into his neck and he's holding her. They might be getting closer" the voice said and Jake threw the pen stand, it narrowly missing Diana who flinched.

"SHES MINE AND I WILL HAVE HER" Jake yelled and the person flinched. "I don't know if she'll want you after what you did to Oscar" the person said and Jake growled. "Whether she wants me or not, SHES MINE. I DONT NEED HER FUCKING PERMISSION" Jake yelled into the phone.

"Hey bro you ok?" Came a new voice and the person responded with a "ya, stubbed my toe". "Ok, I got to go. I'll text you if theres anything else" the person said before hanging up. "You want her and not me?" Diana screeched and Jake walked over to her. He shoved her down to her knees and looked down at her.

"I wanna torture her. To ruin her life for everything she has done to me. But you, your different baby. So shut up and make me feel good."

Carly sobbed into Daniel's chest, him holding her close. The others were horrified at everything that had happened. The ambulance was back again, the paparazzi were going crazy and one even tried climbing the gate.

Police officers were arriving at the scene again, this time trying to clear the crowd. The girls had taken over the job of arranging the funeral since Carly definitely couldn't. "Daniel I- Can we sell this house" Carly whispered.

"Its your choice love" Daniel said and Carly nodded. "I don't want this house. It has too many bad memories" she sobbed. "But there must be some good ones too right? How about this. We'll leave this house all alone, you can visit if you wanna but we'll keep it" Daniel asked her and she nodded.

"I need to make a call" Carly whispered, and Daniel nodded, walking over to the other boys who were discussing the possibilities. Carly talked to someone on the phone and Daniel saw her crying hard. She finally said something and then hung up the phone.

"You like her" Daniel heard and turned. "Huh what?" He asked. "You like her don't you?" Zach asked and Daniel frowned opening his mouth. "Don't try to deny it bro. We can see" Eben chimed in and Daniel shook his head.

"We didn't even know each other before this. And I'm not easy to love" Daniel admitted. "Carly isn't either. She looks for personality and trust before looks and it isn't that vast these days" Jonah shrugged and Daniel nodded.

"Daniel...Can we...Can we go back home....I don't wanna stay here" Carly mumbled and Daniel nodded, smiling. "Yeah sure. Wanna say bye to the other girls?" He asked and Carly walked to them. "She literally doesn't have any actual family other than you now Daniel. Take care of her bro" Eben said and Daniel smiled before walking towards a waiting Carly.

As they finally reached the apartment, managing to avoid paparazzi, Daniel couldn't help but wonder why Adam hired a sniper to kill himself. Unless....

As Carly went to shower, Daniel dialled a number. "Hi...." he said and heard a harsh "what?". "Look, I know you hate me and I don't blame you. I hate myself too. But I really need a favour" Daniel said. "Just help him Chris. He's our brother whether we like it or not" came a girls voice and Daniel's eyes filled with tears.

Composing himself, he told everything that happened after him and Carly left. "We can't talk about this over the phone. I can come over if you want. And don't get too ahead of yourself, I'm doing it only for Carly" Christian said and Daniel breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you" he whispered but his brother had already hung up. Daniel felt the sensitive Daniel come out. The real Daniel who wasn't a bitch all the time. He hated being like this. Like a messed up, heartless boy. But thats what the society reduced him to.

Daniel sat, deep in his thoughts and frowned, realising it was over an hour and Carly was still in the shower. "Carly?" He asked, knocking on the door. His mind began imagining the worst as he wiggled the doorknob, the door opening.

He looked in, breathing a sigh of relief when he noticed Carly on the shower floor, knees pulled upto her chest, only in her undergarments. "Carly you need sleep" Daniel said and Carly looked up at him, not a word escaping her mouth.

Daniel sighed, walking outside and returning with one of his tshirts and sleeping shorts. He opened the glass door, rolled up his sleeves and reached under the water to shut it off. "Please" he said and Carly slowly got up, Daniel giving her a towel. "I'll be outside" he said and walked out. And as Carly looked into the mirror, it showed her a broken girl with red, puffy eyes. A useless, worthless, fat human taking up space. And as a fresh tear slipped down her cheeks, her mind processed one sentence.

'I hate you Oscar'
