Chapter 4
JULIE'S P.O.V
When I saw who it was who had so rudely barged past Charlie I could have literally died of embarrassment. Apart from Fulton and Portman nearly decking him for barging past Charlie in total ignorance, the others stared in disbelief at what was happening.
"So these are your little friends who you'd rather stay with than come home to see your real family and friends". Matthew said rather sarcastically when he spotted me huddled in the chair with Connie.
By now everyone had begun boiling including me. God how totally humiliating was he planning to be, not only had he barged in, he was being a contemptuous bastard towards my friends.
"Matthew what the hell are you doing here"? I shrieked jumping up out of the chair.
"Well, Mother thought been as you don't ever come home to see us, that I should take a break from learning the business and come and check on you". Matthew spoke poshly and held his nose in the air. His whole attitude was stinking of arrogance, snobbishness and fear that the other people in this room where more working class than the upper class he thought he was.
"I'm sorry guy's, I'll catch up with you later". I excused myself and dragged Matthew into my room with his disgust at being dragged. "Matthew how dare you treat my friends that way. You have no right". I yelled. It was probably loud enough for the others to hear but I didn't particularly care.
"Friends is that what you call them. I'd call them more like lower class slobs". His tone full of impertinence.
"They work harder than you'll ever do and they aren't lower class slobs. They're more my family than you'll ever be". I felt my blood rising to the surface.
"How can you live like this. Mother and Father got you a place at Harvard and you'd rather come here". He placed his handkerchief on the edge of the bed and sat down cautiously as though the bed was going to collapse.
"No, Mom bribed her way into getting me a place, at least I earned this place fair and square".
"Whatever Julie. Keep saying that dear sister and you'll go into denial. I don't know what your trying to achieve. You'll never make it playing that stupid game you call sport, you know as well as I do after you've lived in your 'fantasy world' for a few months you'll come home running to Daddy".
"You know what, maybe I won't make it but at least I'm out here trying. Look at yourself, the only reason you're where you are now is because Dad felt he should take you on, you being his son and all". I bit back at all his harsh comments. "And as for the reason why I never come home, well I'm looking at it right now".
"Oh, Julie, Julie, Julie, keep believing that, it may come true, but we both know it's because you can't stand to see Mother and me get on so well, just as you never had".
"GET OUT". I screamed.
"See hit a nerve there haven't I".
"No you haven't. I just want you out. I've heard enough of your cocky, idiotic, selfish, ignorant comments. Now you either leave by yourself or I'm sure the 'lower class slobs' in the next room will be only too willing to help". I almost whispered.
"Fine I'm leaving. But just remember, you can't avoid us forever, one day you'll need money and we both know who you'll come to". He got up, picked his handkerchief up and headed back out the way he'd come, watched rather closely by the gang.
As he walked out through the main door, I slammed the door harshly, just as he was about to turn around and say goodbye then kicked it hard. The ducks looked at me shocked, they had never really seen me in this light before. I leaned against the door and let out a huge sigh and caught my breath.
"Sorry about that". I apologized for disrupting them.
"You ok Jules"? Connie got up and came over to me.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I swear one of these day's I'm gonna smack him so hard". I said pushing the hair away from my face.
"What did he want, we could only hear your side of the conversation"? Portman asked, then got a glare from the others as if to say shut up.
"No it's ok, you heard my side, you might as well hear his side". I told them sitting back down where I had gotten up from. I told them everything about what he'd said. They were slightly shocked that my own Brother would talk to me like that but they didn't say anything.
"Hold on, he said that you never went home, you must have, over the summer for the past God knows how many years, we've all gone home". Russ said confused, triggering everyone to look at me.
"I did go home, but I didn't stay there all summer". I said almost shyly.
"Well where did you go"? Charlie asked staring intently at me.
"I stayed for two weeks each summer then got a job at a hotel working the night reception". I told them truthfully.
"Why didn't you say something, you could have stayed with me". Connie put her arm around my shoulders.
"I didn't want to just turn up, and I spent time with my Grandpa when I wasn't working". I answered.
After explaining things a little more, the guy's dropped the subject, and we returned to talking about what the others had been up to. I was still angry about Matthew. He had always managed to get on my nerves like that. But I had always coped with him, but it bugged me more knowing he had treat my friends diabolically. Forgetting about him for the time being, I listened intently to Ken's story then to Portman and Fulton's, who had been making Fulton's neighborhood a living nightmare.
Soon enough as expected Connie and Guy started talking about plans for the wedding. They were in the middle of discussing when they wanted to set the date and blah, blah, blah. A quick glance at Adam and I knew he was watching me intently. I gave him a quick smile. I felt myself drifting into daydream mode.
Well what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!!
