did more than tempt me that day. My mother left, leaving Aiden with a father that doesn’t even acknowledge him. He hates him more now than he ever did before because now, according to him, Aiden was messing with his money. What kind of douchebag says that about his son? My father, that’s who.
Since that day of death caused by her, Dad’s been an even bigger asshole and Aiden with leukemia, it hasn’t been easy, but obviously that wasn’t enough for her.
She just had to come back for more of my family, for more of me.
I won’t fucking let her. Over my fucking dead body will she destroy another part of me.
“Get out.” I stare her down, watching as her pale face grows even paler, her eyes widening. “Get the fuck out.”
“Whoa, J,” my best friend Cole murmurs beside me. “Calm down.”
But I’m not calm. I’m beyond rational thought at this fucking point.
Tonight, I was expecting a peaceful night. To relax and calm down, knowing that Aiden is with Mom right now, fighting a damn fight that we all knew he’d lose. Liam’s been angry and pissy for days now, so I figured if we all went out with Cole, we’d all calm the fuck down.
I should’ve known better.
“I’m not going to repeat myself again, get the hell out.”
“I—” she starts, her face pale. Somewhere in my angry fog, I can see how she’s trembling, her naked upper body bare for everyone to see. That makes me even more livid to a point where I want to gouge out Liam and Cole’s eyes for seeing her like that.
“Get out!”
“Whoa, bro,” Liam starts, his voice low and cautious as he watches me suspiciously. “What’s going on?”
“Yeah, calm down, J,” Cole murmurs beside me.
“I want her out of this fucking house, out of this party and make sure she gets hell for it.” I say this all while looking at her. I want her to fucking suffer. It’s been a year since I last saw her traitorous face, but I’ve never had a day where I haven’t thought of her. She’s always been like a cancer, always there without a fucking cure. I’d know, Aiden’s dying with it each day and I…like a fool, kissed one and now, I suffer from it.
“Fuck, why?” Liam starts, turning to look at her. “Do you know her?”
I remain silent, watching her.
“What the hell is your problem, dude?” Liam demands, stepping closer to her as if to shield her.
“I think I…” she stutters, now having the common decency to cover her chest. “I think I should go.”
“No, you’re staying,” Liam says to her then frowns at me.
“Liam.” I growl. I can see where this is going. FUCK!
“Seriously, you are the ones that need to get out. We were in the middle of something.” He smirks. “Get out, J. You’re freaking my girl out.”
My girl…
Anger, hot and fast, rushes through my system, tightening all my muscles to a point of pain. I’ve never had the urge to seriously hurt my brother, but right now, I want to hurt him. And I want to hurt her.
“I don’t give a damn which slut you fuck or how many times you discard them right after,” I start, stepping into the room, dropping the beer I had in my hand, feeling more than a tiny bit enraged. I hear her little gasp, but I don’t give a damn. “Go pick someone better, just NOT HER.”
“Dude, what the fuck?” Liam says, now angry. “Since when do you tell me who I should fuck?”
Never, but this is different.
“Liam,” I start, but he cuts me off.
“No, what’s your deal here?” He puffs his chest out. “She’s not yours.”
“You don’t fucking know who she is,” I grit out.
After what happened a year ago, Liam’s been trying to figure out who the newspaper’s source was, now telling him that he was just about to shove his dick into the bitch that made Aiden look like an exposed dirty little secret for the rest of the world to judge and gut as they pleased, would be the shittiest thing I can do to my brother.
“Then spit it out, bro,” Liam says, glancing over his shoulder at her. “Who is she?”
“I’m going.”
“No, stay,” Liam grits out, eyes narrowed, finally comprehending the level of fatal danger in the room. “Who are you?”
“Like anything that comes out of her shitty, running mouth would be the truth,” I mock, watching her every move.
“I…” she croaks, eyes wide with terror, unable to
