Chapter 19

Evans Drama

Stacey always tried to stay out of her brothers bullshit but this time she had no choice, she was literally called in the middle of the night and told what was going on. She was pissed to say the least and when Unique called her and told her that Sam was not only dating someone but had taken her to New York, she knew this person whoever she was, was important.

The fact that Dwight had sent Stevie only lit a fire under her ass to get back into the country and if her flight hadn't been delayed she would have been there two days ago. She was here now and her first task was setting her little brother straight, which is why she interrupted his little meeting he was about to have with that bitch.

"Seems we have a lot of catching up to do now don't we little brother?" Stacey said after hitting him across the head to drive her point across.

"Ow! Jesus Stace you don't have to be so damn violent!" Stevie said holding his nose that started to bleed.

"Oh I haven't begun to be violent." She responded with another hit to his head.

"Hey I said stop it." Stevie grunted out and she gave him a look that made him rethink bucking up at her.

"You wanna tell me why I was called in the middle of the fucking night because my idiot brother is hell bent on sabotaging our older brother?" She asked dragging him out of the coffee shop.

"I had to dad made me, he-"

SMACK!

"Stace, seriously he made me do-"

SMACK!

"STOP FUCKING HITTING ME! You and Sam think you're so good and can do no wrong while I have to ALWAYS clean up your dirty work!" Stevie shouted and Stacey just looked at him like he'd lost his mind before she smacked him again.

"No, you never had to clean up our messes because we never made any. Dwight chose is route and we chose ours, you just allowed yourself to get sucked into that damn man's bullshit! Sam has never and I do mean never done anything to us, he always looked out for us and you are holding on to the fact that you couldn't do the one thing he did better."

"Shut up." Stevie said angrily.

"You think we didn't know about you going to dad first to help Unique? Huh? Why the fuck do you think Sam went immediately after you? You dumbass he knew Dwight would tell you no and he also know Dwight would accept your relationship with her!" Stevie just looked at his sister trying to see if she was lying and he could tell even with furrowed brows that she wasn't.

"Sam did that because he was friends with her too and he wanted her to succeed and she is succeeding, you would've been able to witness it all if you hadn't shoved your head up Dwight's ass."

"No! My head isn't up his ass, you know he took her to Hawaii? And he took her to mom's place too!" Stevie retorted and Stacey just looked at him like she was bored.

"You really don't even know why you and Unique aren't together do you?" Stacey asked confusing him.

"Because of Sam."

"No because that bitch you're working with to try to bring him down doesn't want anyone to be happy if she isn't happy."

"No, Unique didn't-"

"No, don't speak for me." Unique said walking up to them and Stevie let out a deep breath. His head was spinning and he did not feel like going down memory lane.

"You didn't want me after I wasn't able to help you." Stevie said harshly and the look that crossed her face hurt him greatly.

"You think so little of yourself." She said shaking her head.

"I think it's time you two talked, I have a little bitch that needs my attending to." Stacey said giving Unique a hug before smacking Stevie one last time and walking away.

...

Marley had sent Stevie several messages about her running late because of traffic and when he hadn't responded she figured he'd gotten the messages. Her time in Savannah was uneventful considering she hadn't seen Sam and she'd just found out that Mercedes had quit so she no longer had any purpose working with Anthony. She was walking to her car already formulating a text to let him know that she no longer needed employment when she something grab hold of her ponytail and yank her causing her to fall onto the ground. When she looked up she was met by a familiar pair of eyes but on a face she had not seen in years and she immediately started to panic.

"S-stacey…" She stammered out trying to move back but Stacey was quick and pulled her up by her jacket.

"That's right bitch Stacey. I had to cut my trip short because someone let it be know that a little bitch was going around fucking with my brothers. Care to tell me who that bitch might be?"

"I… I have no idea w-what you're-" She started before Stacey shot her look letting her know that a lie would not end well for her.

"Look, I don't know what you're talking about." Marley said and Stacey let out a humorless chuckle before letting go of her jacket and following it with her fist making contact with her lip.

"Lie again bitch."

"I DON'T KNOW-"

Stacey shrugged before hitting her two more times and rolling her eyes when Marley started to wail and shout for help. Stacey made a point of looking around waving her had to show her there was no one else around and Marley realized that she wasn't going to talk herself out of this.

"He doesn't need to be with that woman! Unique… Unique actually helped her look good for him. Can you believe that? All that I did for her and she helps the next bitch get my man!" Marley said getting up and wiping her mouth.

"You honestly think Sam cared about you?"

"He loved me! We were in love!"

"HA! You were a warm vagina that gave it up whenever he asked, I know my brothers both of them and you honey are beneath them both."

"Funny how you really believe you know them, Sam was in love with me, I was living with him and helping him be the best that he can could be. I made him." Marley countered and Stacey laughed again only making the woman in front of her even more angry.

"Silly girl, you ruined Stevie's relationship with Unique because you couldn't stand to have him and Sam getting closer, you lied and played this game and I tried to stay out of it as long as I could but I'm here now and you better believe I will be on you like white on rice. Make the wrong move bitch I dare you." Stacey replied and Marley felt the threat behind those words. Stacey gave her a final glance before walking away and leaving Marley there completely shaken.

...

Stevie was nervous to say the least because he'd been avoiding this conversation with Unique for a long time. Well that's a lie, she hadn't given him the time of day since he did what he did and that only seemed to fuel his hate for his brother.

"I want to say sorry." Stevie said.

"And?" Unique questioned and Stevie knew this wasn't going to go down as smoothly as he hoped.

"And I shouldn't have acted the way I did."

"And?"

"And… and I was a complete asshole." Stevie added with a firm nod thinking that was the end of that but when Unique just looked at him with an unimpressed look he could she expected more.

"I don't know what to say passed that…" He admitted.

"How about sorry for allowing your father to even have access to me the way he did? Or sorry for ruining my friendship with your brother or thinking so little of me that you really thought I was only interested in you because of the possible benefits." Unique countered and Stevie felt low.

"I…"

"Don't play me Steven. You know everything that has been said to you has been the truth, you just don't like to be wrong but you have been wrong for years." She interrupted.

"I just… you and Sam were so close and you would always run off with him when we were supposed to hang out."

"Stevie we never did anything past business and you know it." Unique said growing angry.

"How do you expect me to believe that, you were out at all times of the night and would come back smelling like his cologne…" Stevie countered angrily.

"I was working closely with him and I would hug him before I left to COME BACK TO YOU! I never tried to be out as late as I was but I wanted to know the inner workings of business and I wasn't just meeting with him, he helped with vendors and helped me network. Stevie you never wanted to come, you never wanted to be anywhere near Sam during that time."

"Because he shouldn't have stepped in when I was already trying to help make your dreams come true. You trusted my brother instead of me! You chose to let him help you instead of me!" Stevie shouted and Unique just shook her head.

"This dream you felt like you weren't apart of is because you chose to believe that fucked up shit you just shouted. I loved you and I wanted to share this with you and I never asked you or Sam to do this for me and the reason he did it was so that we could be together. You have no idea what Dwight did to him do you?"

"Whatever it was he deserved it." Stevie said with a shrug.

"Wow, and here really thought there was going to be some kind of break through but if you're okay with this then there's no need for us to continue this conversation." Unique said before walking away leaving Stevie there needing answers and he needed to know what really happened when his father met with Unique.

…

Fifteen days. That's how long Mercedes had been in Lima, Kitty kept count because Sam was acting like a complete asshole to literally everyone. He refused to push her to call him and he was giving her space but the urge to jump on his jet and go see her was starting to become overwhelming. He would pick up his phone to dial her number but would stop and decide other wise, he doesn't to over crowd her but he also wanted to be there for her.

"Sam you have a visitor." Kitty announced and he just shot her a look that let her know he didn't want to see anyone.

"If I wanted to conduct any type of business I would have went into the office." Sam snipped and Kitty just rolled her eyes before telling Sebastian to come back tomorrow.

"You have a flight leaving in twenty minutes."Kitty informed and Sam shot her a confused look.

"Excuse me?"

"Your bags are already packed and you have an office space already set up so you can work remotely and don't come back until your attitude is better." Kitty answered tossing his bag on the floor and walking out. Sam looked perplexed for a moment before grabbing the bag and going after Kitty.

"You do realize I'm your boss right?" He said when he saw her standing at the door patiently waiting for him and she just rolled his eyes.

"Frankly I don't give a damn, your attitude has been horrible because you're too much of a coward to just fly out to that tiny little town and check on a woman you are clearly fixated on." Kitty responded before nudging him out of the door and quickly locking it. There was a car waiting for him and he knew there was no way she was going to let him back into his own house.

"Fine but when I come back there will be repercussions!" He shouted at the closed door before getting into the car.

…

Mercedes walked out of the hospital with her father finally feeling hopeful about her brother and Lena. Tristen took the brunt of the wreck when he turned his body to shield Lena which from what the doctors said saved both her and their baby. However, that meant he would have a longer recovery period and would have to ultimately regain his ability to walk but that wasn't their biggest concern, it was his memory. He remembered them and Lena but he didn't remember them getting married or the fact that they were expecting.

The doctors suspected that it was his mind of blocking out the wreck because he didn't remember that either. She'd wanted to call Sam but she every time she started she would remember their last conversation and feel bad again for basically blowing him off out of fear. She missed him too though, she wasn't sure how much until she he sent over another round of flowers after it had been a week. Her mother asked her who kept sending her flowers and she admitted it was someone she was dating… well she assumed they were still dating but he hadn't called and neither had she.

Another thing that reminded her that she missed him was her body, she caught herself fantasizing about him… she would just think about him and her body would slowly start to ache then burn for his touch. Their last time in his jeep was still replaying in her mind and she'd taken quite a few cold showers to help but in a short time he had managed to completely train her body to crave him.

"Are you going to be okay to get home?" Her father asked and she nodded.

"Yeah I have moma's car, I know you want to get back inside." Mercedes said smiling.

"I'm happy you're here tea cup but eventually you're going to have to go home."

"Already trying to get rid of me?" She joked and her father just laughed.

"No, never that but you seemed to have left something in Savannah that keeps you up at night." He answered with a knowing look.

"Maybe but I want to be here for T and even Lena." She said and her father rose an amused eyebrow at her.

"What? I don't hate her I just don't… really care for her." She added with a shrug.

"Mhm, well make sure you make it home safely we'll probably be late again, maybe you should hang out with some of your old friends." He suggested and she nodded before giving him a hug then getting in her mom's car heading back to her parents.

She thought about reaching out to her friends in Savannah but she hadn't really talked to anyone, her time had been spent helping her parents around the house since they both stayed at the hospital for a majority of the day helping with Tristen and Lena, making sure they're muscles were worked and didn't cause muscle atrophy due to the lack of use.

As promised she visited her brother the day after she'd arrived and it took her two hours to stop crying after seeing him basically wrapped up with tubes coming out of him. He was in a medically induced coma to help with the swelling in his brain and had only been taken out a few days ago and he started showing signs of improvement immediately.

When Mercedes pulled up she didn't notice the car parked across from her parents home and was almost inside when she felt a tingle rush through her and when she turned around she saw him standing there.

"Hey baby."
