Tyler was sat having a good time with his Dad and the rest of his family in the pub but he couldn't shift the fact that there was one person missing, his older brother. As if by magic Alfie spoke...
"Where's Anthony tonight then?" he questioned
"At home" Tyler replied as he finished his bottle of beer
"We invited him out but he didn't want to come, something about having the books for the emporium to do" Eddie informed the group, smiling
Tyler was shocked, he couldn't believe his father had just blatantly lied to his family about why Anthony hadn't come over. He looked over to the door, hoping it was Anthony as it opened but it wasn't, it was Whitney and Fatboy, he decided to go and join them...
"Hey, what's the matter?" Whitney asked worriedly as Tyler stood against the bar, sighing heavily
"Dad's bad mouthing Anthony yet again, and he's just lied to the others as to why he hasn't come over tonight" Tyler informed them
"Why hasn't he come over?" Fatboy questioned, confused
"They've fallen out, again" Tyler sighed as Tracey took their order of drinks
As Tyler said his goodbyes and walked over to the group again, Anthony walked in and over to Alfie...
"Do you mind if I go upstairs please?" he asked, ignoring his Dad but smiling at the rest of the group
"Sure. The girls are up there, you don't mind do you?" he enquired
Anthony shook his head and smiled, saying his goodbyes...
"Of course he doesn't mind, he's a girl himself, isn't that right son?" Eddie questioned
Anthony ignored his father's remarks and continued his journey upstairs, the tears threatening to fall but he wouldn't let them...
"Alfie said it's okay that I join you guys, is it okay with you?" Anthony asked as he walked into the living room
"Of course. How come you don't wanna be downstairs? Your Dad's just back from Spain" Kat enquired, raising an eyebrow
"He hates me for what I've done and who can blame him but honestly, what I did was a stupid mistake and he won't even listen to me" Anthony exclaimed, the tears falling from his eyes
"Here" Jean stated, holding up a box of tissues, motioning for Anthony to take some
"Can you guys give us a minute please?" Kat questioned
Jean and Mo nodded and left the room with Tommy and Shenice. Kat came and sat down on the sofa next to Anthony...
"Are you going on about the betting on Tyler's fight thing?" she asked, raising an eyebrow
"Did Alfie tell you?" he questioned
"Yea he did and listen, your Dad loves you, he's just angry, give him time to come round" Kat proclaimed
"He's not going to be able to forgive me. I can see it in his eyes" Anthony admitted
As Kat was about to speak once more a knock at the door sounded...
"Come in" Kat replied
Tyler walked in... "is it okay if me and my brother have a minute please?"
"You okay?" Kat questioned, motioning to Tyler
"Yea, thanks Kat" he replied as Kat stood up and walked out of the room
Tyler took Kat's seat and sighed...
"I'm sorry about Dad. He's a jerk" he sighed
"You've got that right. I don't know how I can get him to forgive me" he admitted
"Getting the money back might just do the trick" Tyler suggested, raising an eyebrow
"Oh right, how am I supposed to get my hand on £8000?" Anthony enquired
"We'll think of something and we'll get things right again, I promise" Tyler assured his brother, wrapping him in a headlock
