Chapter 7 – You're the one who started it

Aiden was sitting at Kaitlyn's kitchen table and he was telling her once again how much he loved her new house. He couldn't believe that Colby bought it to her.

"When he called me to ask if you were going to be pissed if he bought a house, I didn't expect that he would really do it." he said to his sister.

"He asked you that?" Kaitlyn asked and Aiden nodded. "What did you say to him?"

"That you were going to be very mad at first but that you'll understand that it comes from a very good place."

"You know me too well brother."

He smiled at her because he knew it was true. Since they were little, he always took care of his little sister and he knew her like no one else. When Colby called him to the rescue, he was so glad. He could finally spent time with Kaitlyn and it made him so happy. He missed her so much for the past year. Even though she was always calling, it was not the same thing than to be with her.

"Now you tell me what the fuck is my nephew doing with his mother."

"Calm down Kait'." Aiden asked.

"I'm not going to calm down. She left you guys and I was the one who picked up the pieces after her fucking betrayal."

Bethany, Liam's mother and Aiden ex-wife, was cheating on her husband for months until he caught her in the act in his own bedroom. He kicked her out of his house and Liam never saw his mother after that day. Aiden told him that his mommy left them and that he didn't knew where she was. Kaitlyn wanted to tell the truth to the kid but her brother forbid her to do it. Bethany was living happily ever after with her new boyfriend who happened to have a lot of money and a very big house. Aiden loved her so much and it left him so heartbroken that he had trouble taking care of himself. Kaitlyn had to help with Liam and she never stopped even after her brother got better.

"She showed up at my door two months ago and she wanted to see Liam."

"I hope you slammed the door in her face." Kaitlyn said, angrily.

"I couldn't."

"You've got to be kidding me! That bitch ruined everything you had and you just let her in? May I remind you of all the shit she got you into?"

Aiden shook his head but Kaitlyn kept on going.

"Dude, she fucking threatens to take Liam away from you if you didn't pay her half of everything you had. Her boyfriend was rich and she did that only to hurt you. How could you just let her in the kid's life after that? She never even took care of him, how could you trust her with his life in her hands? May I also remind you how crazy she was?"

Bethany had a drinking problem and that's what started it all. Aiden kept fighting for her to stop but she just didn't want to.

"Calm down Kait'. She's better now."

"Yeah I bet that her boy toy paid for her rehab."

Aiden nervously smiled and looked down to the floor. His sister asked him what was going on but he remained silent.

"Carl left her." he finally admitted.

Kaitlyn got up and went in her backyard. Her hands were on her head and she was fighting the urge to scream. She knew Bethany was at his brother's house in the hope of coming back with him and she just couldn't let that happen. She was trying to calm herself down before getting back inside. None of it was her brother's fault but she wanted to shake him off so bad. Aiden had multiple relationship after she left but none of them worked. He loved Bethany so much and Kaitlyn knew that he would want to get back with her if she was feeling better.

"I forbid you to even think about getting back with her." she said as she got back in the kitchen. "I swear to God that I will kill you if you tell me that you are planning on it."

"May I remind you that I forbad you to be to go on the road with Colby? Look where it got you!" Aiden said as he pointed the house.

"So not the same thing! Colby didn't leave me for another woman and came back after four fucking years."

"You're right. He just cheated on you with his ex-girlfriend and then told you how much he loved you."

Kaitlyn looked at Aiden with her mouth wide open. She couldn't believe that she was having this conversation all over again with him.

"Technically, he didn't cheat on me, we weren't even together. And you promised you would stop bringing that back."

"You're right, I'm sorry, but you're the one who started it. Anyway, I wasn't planning on getting back with her. She's getting better but I'm not going to fall in that pattern all over again. I'm not ready for that now."

"Now? Does this mean that you're thinking about it?"

"Of course I am Kaitlyn, she's Liam's mother for Christ's sake. Of course I want to go back with her and be a happy family like we once were. For the moment I am just allowing her to spend time with her son. She's good with him and it's the first time that I leave him alone with her. I'm going back in two days and I asked her to call me every day so that I can speak to the kid."

"Alright fine." Kaitlyn said as she surrender to her brother. "Now that you know how I feel about your fucked up situation, let me take you out to dinner."

Kaitlyn took out her phone from her bag and sent a message to Amber. She asked her friend to meet her at the club instead of at her house. She was planning on taking her brother out with her, to take Beth out of his mind.

Kaitlyn and her brother were sitting at the bar and they were waiting for Amber. Aiden laughed as he was telling his sister that her best friend didn't change and that she was still always late. Since he knew her when she was little, he never saw Amber getting there in time. It became a running gag between Kaitlyn and him. The bartender asked the siblings what they wanted to drink and both order a beer. As she was taking a sip, she spotted Amber at the entrance of the club and she waved to her. Her best friend fought her way thought the dance floor to get to her.

"Hey." she said as she hugged Kaitlyn. "Sorry I'm late"

"Look who I found on my doorstep."

When Amber saw Aiden, her eyes widen and she smiled.

"Aiden!" she said as she pulled him in her arms.

He was like a brother to her. He took care of her so much when she was young and she was always happy to see him.

"Where's Liam? Don't tell me you brought him in a bar?"

"You won't believe where he is." Kaitlyn said before her brother could answer the question.

Aiden looked at her sister with angry eyes but she didn't care. Amber knew who Bethany was and she had the exact same opinion about her as Kaitlyn did. Her best friend was confused and she had no idea what was going on.

"He's with Bethany, back in Montreal." Kaitlyn said.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Amber said as she looked at Aiden. "Bartender? We're going to need something a lot stronger than those beers. Bring us some tequila, we have a situation here."

Aiden laughed as Kaitlyn thought to herself that she missed Amber. She had been a bitch lately but she finally got her best friend back.
