Hidden Truths

Jonathan's PoV

Jonathan was so angry he could hardly think straight. How could Eric just go and leave him to hang out with Asher, the guy who broke his heart. And now Eric was avoiding him! Well whether Eric liked it or not he was going to tell him what happened. Jonathan stormed out of St Jude's, ignoring the secretary who screamed at him to get back there. He exited on to the street and hailed a cab. When asked where he was headed he said the Empire. Might as well get Eric when he knew where he was.

When he got to the Empire he threw the can driver and twenty and got out of the cab before the driver had a change to give him his change. He stormed right into the building and past the lady at the desk and into the elevator. He pushed the button for the penthouse and waited impatiently as the elevator slowly rose. When at last the elevator let him off he went and pounded on the suite's door preparing to confront his boyfriend.

The door swung open and he saw Chuck standing before him in a black suite with a weird-looking purple tie. "Jonathan?" He asked in greeting, stunned to see his little brother's boyfriend in his penthouse. "What are you doing here?"

"Chuck, where's Eric?" Jonathan questioned menacingly.

"Why would Eric be here?" Chuck asked in response.

Jonathan grew irritated. "You know why! I heard that Eric is here sleeping off his hangover after a night with Asher Hornsby!"

"And where did you happen to here that?" Chuck asked calmly.

"Gossip Girl and Asher himself." Jonathan replied scowling.

"Because of course those are the two most reliable sources in the world. Gossip Girl which as you know has never been wrong. And of course Asher, Eric's ex who would probably do anything to piss you off. Great detective work Sherlock!" Chuck said sarcastically.

For the first time Jonathan looked uncertain. "I still want to talk to Eric."

"Well thats great," Chuck said, "But Eric's not here. He's at home sick. Which is of course why he was not at school. Speaking of which, why are you not in school? Let me guess. And soon as you heard Eric might have been out with another guy you freaked out and ran to go looking for him. A little hypocritical don't you think."

Jonathan froze. "What do you mean?"

Chuck smirked, "Remember last you when you cheated on Eric with the Captain of your swim team?"

"Chuck that was...I mean it was...I mean..."

Chuck cut across Jonathan's stutters, "You hurt Eric. You're very lucky he hasn't hurt you back. He could have, all to easily. But he didn't. You got lucky. If I had it my way I would have hurt you. Last year, you had no idea what I wanted to do to you. But even after what you did, Eric wouldn't let me. You have him to thank for that. Now what you're going to now is go back to school and patiently wait for Eric to come back from the flu and I won't mention it to him got it."

Jonathan couldn't trust himself to speak so he just nodded.

"Good," Chuck smirked, "We understand each other." With that Chuck slammed the door in Jonathan's face.

EPoV

Eric suddenly heard a knock on the door. Chuck stood to get it and peered through the hole on the door first. "It's Jonathan." He said.

"Get rid of him!" said Blair, "He can't know Eric is here."

"But Blair..." Eric began to protest.

"But nothing," she said protectively, "If he knows what happened it could jeopardize your relationship. I love you E and I won't let that happen."

"Fine," Eric relented, giving in.

Eric and Blair just sat there in the other room listening to Chuck speak with Jonathan. Eric was surprised when he heard how easily Chuck turned the fault around to Jonathan. However, he winced when Chuck mentioned Jonathan cheating on him. Guess Jonathan wasn't as good as Eric thought.

After Jonathan left, Chuck came back in the room. "I got rid of him."

"Well now Jonathan will probably hate you forever," Eric complained.

Chuck scowled, "I don't care Eric. After what he did he doesn't deserve anything."

"What do you mean Chuck?" Eric asked.

"Last year Eric. He hurt you. I know you tried to hide it, but I saw the look on your face when you found out. You were heartbroken. And then he had the guts to come back and beg forgiveness."

Eric was shocked by that admission, usually Chuck only cared about Blair. "What did you mean I stopped you? I never did anything."

This time Blair answered, "He talked to me about it. He wanted to make Jonathan pay. But I told him if he hurt Jonathan he'd hurt you too. And neither of us wanted that."

Eric looked confused, "Why do you guys care so much?"

"Because we love you E. You're Chuck's little brother and you've basically been mine my whole life."

Eric was about to respond when his phone beeped with an incoming message.

I love you E. Get well soon.

-Jxx

Eric just felt sick to his stomach.
