Brandon's POV
Nearly a week had passed since that " accident" and i spent those days in my room. Now all knew the truth about me and Rachel. She texted me that her husband and brother knew everything. Even more, her husband had got her out of their house and she went to her parents house. Even her parents didn't want to see her face but they accepted her as she was their daughter. This whole week i was thinking about my life and what Sky had said to me. I'd never felt so broken before. It was like i was trying to escape from this world, to escape from myself. Mom was worrying about me. She tried hard to convince me to open the door or at least to talk to her but i did nothing except lying on the bed not moving. I just wanted to be alone for some while. The worst thing was that only now i am starting to realize what i have done to everyone, to Jake and to myself. I sighed trying to calm down my conscience but it wouldn't work. " There are so much differences between you and your brother. " I remembered. She was right. Maybe Sky is better than me? I was trying to get those differences between us. Sure, there were so much! But there's still a similarity between us. We both got ourselves embrassed. I revealed another sigh and got up. I got out of my room and was greeted by my mom. She hugged me tightly and began to cry.
" Oh, thank God, you're ok! " she said placing kisses on me.
" Mom? It's ok."
" My little boy."
"Mom, please, stop. Where's Sky?"
" In his office."she released me and cupped my face.
" Mom, please, i need to talk to him."she nodded and stepped aside. I went straight to Sky's office and knocked.
" Come in!"i heard.
" This is the first time you're knocking on the door."he said with smile.
" Well, i just came...to tell you something. "
"What?" I rubbed the back of my neck.
" Well, that will i was threatening you with ... it's fake. Isaac made that up."
"I knew it."
" And now i don't want to take a part in that play of his."i said and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Suddenly he asked.
" I have to go apologize to somebody. Why?"
" Today i am going to the mines. If you want you can come with me." I thought for a while. If he was going to the mine, he'd surely meet the Solarias. But i don't know if I'm ready to face her.
" I'll think about that."i said.
" If you make up your mind, just call me." I nodded and went. I made my way to Jake's house. It wasn't so far so just a walk wouldn't disturb. While going people's eyes were on me but i just ignored them and continued. I reached the place but felt some fear. Taking a breath, i knocked on the door. Their maid opened it.
" Is Jake in?" I asked. She nodded and let me in.
Jake's POV
I was so furious, SO FURIOUS! Why my parents accepted that bitch! That slut! I don't have a sister and a best friend since i got to know about "her and his affairs" ! Even if my parents accepted her, i won't do that! Never. The maid came and said that Mr. Pervert was here. I didn't want to face him. I was ready to be in prison but to murder him! That thing! But i wanted to look straight into his eyes and hear his explanations. But that wouldn't help him us he destroyed our friendship. I mean we have known each other since we were kids and now he treats to me like that? To his best friend lika that? I gestured the maid to let him in. After some seconds he was standing behind me.
" Jake..."he started "... i don't know from where to begin but...I'm sorry. I know you can't forgive me that easily but... if you did it, i would be... grateful. "
" Why? Brandon, Why? After all we've been through since kids...you destroyed everything! The path that we've been through, the moments we've spent together. Now they're gone. Do you understand it!" I tryied to be calm.
" I know but... your sisters is guilty as much as i am. You know me... I was flirting with her, i admit it, but if she hadn't given me the occasion i wouldn't have gone any farther. When i flirted with her she flirted back and... perhaps... seduced me... if she'd stayed in her place, i wouldn't have continued. "There was thruth. Even if he likes playing with girls but he won't keep on if a girl doesn't give up to him. He'll just leave her alone. But still the pain is too much to handle.
" Do you understand that probably there could be one way to get out of this? And it's a very big responsibility. "i said meaning the marriage. But i wasn't planning these two brats' marriage. I just wanted to see his reaction. He got what i meant as i felt he got scared.
"If... it's the only way..." he clenched his fist. "...i will...marry her." I admit i didn't except him to say that.
" Go to the hell, and forget this address, forget this house, forget this place, forget me and forget that once there was "us"! Now leave!" He bowed his head. I could feel he regreted that all but he desreved this. He then got up and went.
Brandon's POV
Now it's over. I was slowly walking back home when it started to rain. I didn't care if i got wet. I didn't care of anything at all. For a moment i thought this all was a nightmare and the drops would wake me up... but it wasn't. But at least my conscience calmed down a little bit. I got home and took a shower. After it i put on my clothes and went to Sky's office. He was still in. Now there's one person i should apologize to.
" Sky, I'm coming with you, if it's ok." He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder.
Oh do you think he's changing? I hope so, but Stella's not going to forgive him that easily. Anyway, I'll update on this Wednesday as i want to update "The power of Elements" and my new story. Until that review and if you have questions then ask.
Love you!
