Chapter 7
Author: Ok...so I decided to change this chapter a little because I wasn't pleased with it and neither were some of my reviewers so I hope you like this one!
OTHCharmedHPFreak: yeah they are pretty close. He stayed with Brianna and Evelyn for a little longer than the other guys. In my story it said he hadn't seen her in 2 years the rest were like 3 years. I'll put in there that they kept in touch some. Not a lot though because he wanted to pursue his music career. But thanks for the review! It means a lot!
The next morning Jack was usually up and ready but he decided to sleep in some. He watched his sister for a little while. That dream just couldn't get off his mind. Why would she dream about something like that. Did someone try to hurt her? " OMG!" he accidently said aloud. Brianna rolls over and looks at her brother who is staring at her.
" Whats wrong?" she asked looking at him
" Nothing just watching you sleep. Did you sleep good?" Jack asked his baby sister
" Yeah I guess. I had a really bad dream last night"
" Yeah you told me. You want to talk about it?"
" Naw that's ok….im not sure why I had it but I don't know. It felt so weird and like I was still there."
" Bri…I know that something horrible happened to you. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time. You mean the world to me and I cant lose you. I cant lose you to like we lost mom. It just wont go over too well with me"
" Jack…why is this happening to us? Why are we going through this?"
" I don't know. Sometimes people go through bad times. It makes us stronger!"
Brianna starts shaking her head. " We have been going through bad things since we were kids. Jack…..sometimes I wish that my life wasn't what it is now."
" What are you talking about?" he asked her sitting up " You have a wonderful life!"
She closes her eyes " Sometimes I wish that I had a family who had a mother and a father who cared about me. A big house and some land to run around on. Friends who aren't scared of me. A boyfriend who loves me and wouldn't hurt me."
" Theres no room in that fantasy for your brothers?" he asked her. She just looked at him " Do you ever have dreams like that though. That your parents never beat you or you weren't bad. Everyone loved you and actually wanted you?"
" Of course…..i have always wanted that, but that wasn't part of Gods plan!"
She turns away from him as tears start streaming down her face. " All I seem to do now is cry. Its like that's all I can do"
" Its normal to cry at a time like this. You have to be strong though. You cant break down now. I know that your life hasn't been the greatest but Evelyn Mercer made it better than it would have been. You should be grateful for that."
" All I remember is her being shot for no reason. Like she was some puppy dog who was dieing. They didn't give a damn!" she told him looking straight into his eyes
" They are going to get what they deserve."
"Am I going to watch you guys die like she did. You are running after a wolfpac Jack. You are running right into it and not even paying attention. Good you guys got the shooters. More will come and they will eventually kill one of us. Is that what you want? The same thing that happened to mom?" she started raising her voice.
" What do you want us to do Brianna?" he yelled getting out of bed " Just stand by and let the men who killed our mother. The only person who gave a rats ass about us get away with murder. They are going to pay whether or not we die along with them. I'm not going to sit around and watch them kill other innocent people"
" Exactly! Innocent people like us!"
"What is wrong with you? Why don't you want these guys to pay?"
"You don't solve anything with killing someone, It may ease your pain but it wont bring her back. It wont stop what happened to her. Shes dead Jack and I saw it happen!" she told him starting to cry harder " Why did you guys have to leave huh? Why did you have to leave us here alone?" she got off the bed and walked to the door. Jack followed her.She almost ran into Bobby who was listening to their conversation. "You just left like you didn't care. All of you did!" she told her brothers "You didn't give a shit about us!" she screamed. "Now our mother is dead because no one was there to protect her. She wasn't protected by any of us!"
" What is wrong with you?" Bobby yelled grabbing her shoulders and shaking her
" Leave me alone!" she yelled pushing him away. "You!" she pointed at Bobby " You left without a word and mom could have died trying to find you. You scared her so bad. I would listen to her cry at night because she didn't know where you went. Jack….you left because you couldn't stay anymore. It was too much for you wasn't it. You had to go to New York and pursue your precious music career! You didn't care about me, you just left me here. You promised you would always look after me. You screwed that up didn't you. You guys have no clue what I have been through since you left. How screwed up my life was…is"
"What is going on?" Bobby asked Jack. Jack just shrugged his shoulders still focusing on Brianna
" What did you do Brianna? You didn't even try to stop any of us!" Jack yelled at her finally " You were too busy focusing on yourself. Focusing on pleasing mom because you were always the good kid. You never caused any trouble did you?" he told her coldly
"Shutup!" she screamed "I was trying to make up for the stupid things you did!"
He walked toward her not meaning too and Brianna tensed up and covered her head. Jack stopped in his tracks. " OMG! Brianna I would never hit you!" he told her. She uncovered her head and slid to the ground " I'm sorry!" she told him sobbing "I didn't mean what I said!"
" I know you didn't!"
" Things are so screwed up right now!" he scooted over to her and started rubbing her arms
" Yeah they are." Bobby told her "But where the hell did that come from huh?"
"I don't know" she told him shaking her head "I guess its just been bottled up inside and needed to come out." She looked at Jack and smiled. "I promise that I wont explode again"
"Thank you!" Jack told her standing up "I didn't know what the hell I did!" That made Brianna start laughing. She wiped away the tears on her face before embracing her brother in a hug
" Jack! You are the best brother anyone could ever ask for. I thank God for you everyday." She told him with a smile on her face this time. He leaned over and kissed her on her forehead " I should have never left you. I know that I called every now and then but I shouldn't have left!" Jack told her
" I was just so mad that you left that I didn't care. Until you came home for my birthday. You really surprised me and I forgave you right then and there."
" Jack!" Bobby said interrupting "I'm just wondering. How in the hell do you get girls with that thing in your mouth?"
" I will have you know that girls think tongue rings are sexy!" Jack told him
"You mean guys?" Bobby asked "I heard tongue rings really turn a guy on."
"You should know!" Jack told him. Brianna starts laughing until Jack stuck his tongue out. She just stares at him at him before making a comment.
"You have a big ass tongue!" Brianna chimed in staring at his tongue amazed. Jack closed his mouth and hit Brianna with a pillow. She starts laughing again and hits him back.
" You girls stop! We have stuff we need to do! Jack go get in the shower!" Bobby told him still pissed about Jacks comment. Jack stops hitting Brianna with a pillow.
" Where are we going?" Jack asked
"Do you ever listen?" Bobby asked annoyed
" Ok ok..im going" Jack hit Brianna one last time with the pillow before running down the stairs.
" I swear he never listens. The freakin bathroom is right here!" Bobby told his sister, who was still laughing at Jack.
"I think I might go back to sleep. Didn't really sleep good last night!"
"Yeah sleeping with Jack is a challenge. You never know what he is dreaming about!" Bobby told him pointing his finger in the air,
"UGH! Bobby that is disgusting! I wasn't referring to Jacks "dreams". I had a bad dream and I couldn't sleep." Brianna told him grabbing his finger and pulling in down. " I swear sometimes I wonder why she adopted boys. I really do!" she went back into Jacks room and laid down on his bed and drifted off to sleep within minutes. She wakes up expecting Jack to be out of the shower. As she opened the door she walked past the bathroom.
" Bobby! Do you ever close the door?"
" Naw…..i didn't have time!"
" OMG! I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that!"
" Come on its part of the human cycle. You gotta go you gotta go! Right Jack?"
" I am just taking a shower!" Jack yelled " Not stinking up the place!"
Brianna starts laughing " Exactly!"
" Shutup!" Bobby told her smiling. Just then Angel walked in and then had to walk out.
"Whooo! Baby!" he said trying not to breathe. Brianna starts laughing again
" What do you want?" Bobby asked annoyed at everyone
" Well you know that me and Sofi did a lot of making up last night and I think I got a little rust on the tools!" Angel told him undoing his robe!
"WHOA! Put java back in its hut!" Brianna told him shielding his eyes
" Yeah! Ask the cockologist in the shower!" Bobby told him turning away
Jack looks out of the shower. He looks down for 2 seconds and then back up " Rug burn!" then he was back in the shower
" Your going to live!" Brianna said patting him on the back " Thank God! I thought something was really wrong!" she told him looking serious. Angel just rolled his eyes
" You guys I need to tell you something! I don't think Jerry is being honest with us" angel told them
" What are you talking about?" Brianna asked
" Well a man came over to the house the other night and was saying something about moms insurance. Jerry got over $400000 and didn't even bother to tell us"
" He was one the who took care of us though" Brianna said " Wouldn't he have gotten some money?"
"Then I went and saw one of his old employees and they told me that he got caught up with gangsters. They government shut him down and he went backrupt"
" How is that? We didn't know anything" Brianna told them in disbelief
" Look you guys go and find this councilmen named Douglas. He is the one that shut Jerry down. He might know who was in with the murder."
" What are you going to do?" Bobby asked " Angel if you know something"
" What you need to do is to keep your ass on that porcelin. Let me handle this one. This job requires some finesse and as your rep as a hothead I don't think you need to be there"
" Are you serious! I wrote the freakin book on finesse!" Bobby told him. Angel turned around to leave " Angel wait for me to wipe my ass!" Just then Jack gets out of the shower!
"JACK: Brianna screamed
" Get the hell out!" Jack yelled after her. He quickly wrapped a towel around his waist but Brianna took off down the hall.
" Jack get me some toilet paper!" Bobby told him throwing what little they had left.
" Um….i am naked Bobby!"
" and I am sitting on the toilet! Go get me some! It never bothered you to walk around the house naked before."
" Fine!" Jack told him leaving the bathroom, but it was too late. Angel was already gone
" You are so freakin slow! Gua!" Bobby told him throwing the toilet paper at Jacks head. Jack rolled his eyes and left the bathroom. " Hey little fairy! Get that for me!" Bobby told him but Jack didn't listen. After Brianna and Jack got ready Bobby was already downstairs standing at the door " We need to go talk to this councilmen. You guys coming?" Bobby asked
" Sure!" they both said at the same time. With that everyone piled into Briannas car and drove over to the councilmens office and waited for what seemed like years.
