Chapter 8: Anger
-Week later, Office building-
Reid had been trying to reach his son for a week now and he was getting pissed as he left yet another message.
"Axel Gavin Garwin, This is the last message I'm leaving you, if you don't return it, you can say good bye to the car and your money."
With that said, Reid snapped his phone shut, before calling in his next patient.
-Spenser's classroom-
Ax sat bored ,staring off in to space, ignoring the teacher's speech as his phone buzzes in his pocket. He pulls it out, seeing it his dad, yet again, he ignores it and looks around the class room.
Charlie sat in front of him, taking notes, not aware of the looks, the girls were throwing his way. Ax chuckled to himself, before looking at the person next to him, Theo was drifting in and out of sleep, his notes long forgotten.
Caleb would shit himself, if he saw how his son acted in class, Ax thought as he kicks Theo in the leg, jolting the boy awake. Theo snapped his attention back to his notes, leaving Ax to look over at Denny, who was currently playing footsie with Arden.
Axel wanted to gag, they're acting like their thirteen or something. "The last child of Ipswich" was not in class today, as it had been for the last week or so.
Brody, being the "good boyfriend" he was, had been getting her class assignments for her, claiming she was sick. Ax's gaze turned to a glare, seeing the as aforementioned boyfriend.
Brody sat their, taking notes, as if he wasn't the cause for the groups rift. Theo looked over at Ax, seeing his eyes flash, then bled black.
"Ax!"
He snapped, just as Brody's shoe laces were tied to the table legs.
"Knock it off."
Theo hissed slapping Ax on the back of the head.
"What the He…."
Ax began as Brody's laces came undone.
"Mr. Danvers, Keep your hands to yourself or get out of my classroom."
She Scolded before turning back to the class to assign their homework, just as the bell rings. The Students rush out of the room, save for four boys, each with a look of anger across their face.
"After school, my room."
Charlie Demands of the three other boys
"we need to talk." The others nod their heads and leave the room for their next class.
-Spenser Dorm room-
Kari was curled up in a ball, her hair messy and unwashed. She was lost, she knew the others were right, but she couldn't bring herself to act on it. Brody was all she had left, and he was back to being her sweet,loving boy toy, he hadn't layed a negative hand on her in a while,she knew it was only a matter of time, that now would be the time to leave him and tell the others, but she was safe with him,loved with him.
That's all she needed right now, the voice in her head was right. She thought, her sorrow growing into anger, how dare they turn their backs on her, when she need them most, they deserted her.
Her eyes flamed, everything in her room, began whipping around her.
"HOW DARE THEY!"
She roared as things crashed down around her,
"HOW DARE HIM!"
she closed her eyes as her body glowed red, as she opened them, her hair was clean and her clothes were changed.
"THEY CAN'T BEAT ME, THEY DON'T KNOW ME, I'LL SHOW THEM ALL"
as suddenly as it had started, everything crashed to the ground, glass layed shattered all round, clothes set a blaze. She gazed around the room, her vision goes black as she puts everything back in order and leaves the room, her eyes once again brown, but filled with a renewed passion.
-Charlie's dorm room-
The three boys sat in silence, as Charlie stood before them.
"The using needs to be cut back, if not stopped, completely. We are turning 18 this year, Hell 3 out of the 5 of us, are 18, unless we want to end up like our grandparents or that Chase guy. We Need to stop."
Charlie said in one breath his eyes glued to Ax. Ax signed, knowing he was right, but it was easy, it fixed everything. Ax stood up and faced the others,
"I get it, intervention over. I was pissed, I'll handle it better."
He huffed running a hand threw his hair.
"Promise?"
One of the guys asked.
"Yeah yeah." He began as his phone rang, He flipped it open,
"What!?!" He snapped into the receiver.
"GET YOUR *SS TO THE HOUSE, WE NEED TO TALK."Came Reid's angery/frustrated voice.
The other boys winced, hearing Reid's voice threw the phone.
"Sure dad." Ax said as he ended the call and looked over at the guys.
" I got to go." He said, rushing out the door, leaving three guys shaking their heads,
"Hes in for it now." Den said aloud.
-Garwin Residents-
Reid sat fuming, as he waited for Axel to show up. Kenddle came in the room,
"Reid calm down, you don't want to say something you might regret later."
She said trying to sooth her husband's temper, knowing that once the "talk" began, Axel would be just as heated.
" I know, but I've been trying to talk to him for weeks now, but he just ignores me. Who the h*ll does he think he is." Reid demanded.
"Your son."
Came Ken's reply as she kissed him on the head and turned to leave the room, but was pulled back into Reid's arms.
" I don't want him to be like me, it was tough act to brake, he deserves better then that."
Reid's muffled voice came from Ken's back. Kenddle smiled sadly,
"Hun. your not a bad guy. Sure you had rough past, but it helped you became the amazing man, husband and father."
She replied as she turned around and straddled his lap, wrapping his arms around his neck.
"I love you Reid. But try to remain calm,he does have your temper."
She added as she kissed him sweetly and sat curled up in his lap, as Reid played with her hair.
" I'll Try, Love you too" He whispered as the front door opened.
"DAD!"came Axel's voice, as he walked threw the house.
Kenndle stood up from her husband's lap and called to her son,
"In the dinning room, Ax." She turned back to Reid,"stay calm."
She advised again,before turning to greet her "baby".
"Hey mom." Axel said as he hugged her,
"Hey sweetie."She kissed his forehead and left the room, leaving Father and son, to themselves.
"Dad. Sorry about earlier." Ax started as he sat across from him. Reid nodded his head in acknowledgment, as he looked at his son.
"Dad, What.."
"Ax, stop. I Asked you here to talk. Not for you to apologise for things you think you did wrong."
Reid started. "I need U to be honest with me, will you do that?"
He continued,looking towards Axel.
"Aaa...Sure." Axel replied with a hint of hesitation.
"Are you OK...I mean your not doing drugs or sleeping around, are you?"
Reid cut straight to the point, well all most anyway.
"No to drugs. Um....Yes to the last part." Axel whispered out.
Reid shook his head and took a deep breath.
"Axel, Why?" Reid was baffled, how could his son belike him. He had his dad, His mom didn't drink and bring home random guys, his grades are good, what did he, Reid, do wrong?
"Dad, what do you mean why. Its just sex."
Reid saw red,
"JUST SEX. ARE YOU KIDDING. DO YOU AT LEAST USE PROTECTION?"
Reid demanded as he began to pace.
" Of course, I'm not stupid." Axel snapped back.
"APPARENTLY YOU ARE. DO WANT AN STD OR KID AT 18?"
Reid snapped back Axel bolted up,
"NO, ITS NOT LIKE YOU DIDN'T DO THIS AT MY AGE. WHY DOES IT MATTER?"
"IT MATTERS, BECAUSE ITS NOT JUST YOUR LIFE, THAT IT AFFECTS. WHAT ABOUT YOUR MOTHER AND ME OR YOUR FRIENDS..."
Reid paused taking a breath,
"what about Karizma?"
Reid finished softly, taking time to notice his son's started look.
"Yeah, I noticed how you look at her, when you think no one is paying attention. Are you willing to risk your feelings for a few hours of fucking"
Reid stared Axel down waiting for an answer. Ax went from angry to ashamed and sad.
"It doesn't matter how i feel, I fuck up any chance I had with her a year ago."
Axel said looking down ,afraid to see his dad's reaction. "what are you talking about." Reid ask feeling bad for his son.
"well..."Axel began to tell his dad about the night, he lost his "girl".
-Somewhere in Ipswich-
Kari was dress in black leather from head to toe, her sweet innocent face, filled with anger and hatred, as she marched into a local sporting good store.
Heads turned as she marched up to a group of guys and tapped one on the turned towards her, his jaw dropping,
"K,k,k,Kari is that you?"
He stuttered out, his pants tightening in a certain area. Kari smiled as she kissed him sweetly, luring him to his feet.
"Oh its me, hunny and I got something special for you..."
She batted her eyelashes,purged her lips, causing Brody to lean into her. In mere seconds, he was on his knees, holding his "boner", his face showed his pain, her smile turned into a scowl as she hit him across the face. A crowd gathered round as she knelt down next to him,
"You will never cheat on or touch me again...."
She pause standing back up, just to knee him in the face, breaking is nose,
"If you do ,You'll wish you had killed me."
She finished spitting on Brody's crumpled up body as she stepped over him. The crowd parted as she made her way to the down, stopping just before exciting,
"Oh and By the way, That was me dumping you, in case you weren't smart enough to figure that out for yourself."
She smiled and waved at the speechless crowd as she left the store. She wasn't the only one with a smile on ther face.
" Thats my girl, Your almost ready. I can't wait for your birthday, its going tobe a blast."
It spoke to itself as it disappeared into the parting crowd, as sirens sounded out side.
