Tucker
I was fuming I can't believe my own sister, my own flesh and blood had chose that no hoper Jet Wolfe over me, actually I could. I'd done it so many times with her and Asher, but I never thought she'd turn the tables and use it against me, but I guess I deserved it. I'd always taken Asher back over hers and now it had come to the final crunch. I knew there was a fine line between love and hate between them.
Neither her or Jet had believed that I had visited her. I had waited and made sure he wasn't around. I guess I wasn't the only one who had the idea. I'd caught Isaac more than once slipping in making sure neither mom or Jet was around d before slipping in. I watched and waited as he confessed his sins. His apologies mean nothing unless she was awake, but he still said them anyway. I had no idea what his deal was.
He'd practically called my sister a lying cheating w***e. I only found out all the details from Jet, and those who had witnessed it first hand. I for one didn't believe the bull s**t someone had orhestred the whole idea to split them up so they could get their chance, I first assumed it was jet or Thomas I knew he had the hots for her.
Jet was well, Jet was Jet and he would do anything to dip his d**k cause that's how he was but once I spoke to his friends it was clear that Jet was her friends one she confided in about what was going on and the photos of them were all fake, yes they were talking but there was no PDA whatsoever.
The way the pictures looked like they were in a full blown pash, Jet respected my sister and he'd do anything to keep her safe and as far away as possible from Ashton. Everyone in our year knew about their ongoing hatred for each other. It was in plain sight everyday and it had grown worse over the past months but neither of them were willing to share what had gone down to cause all the friction between them that caused my sister to end up in a coma.
I can't believe she tried to end her life because she lost her friends. I'm sure she'd find more friends, better friends. She deserved better friends and a better boyfriend. He obviously didn't love her as much as he claimed to. That's why I dealt with him the way I knew best. He'd never call my sister those disrespectful names ever again. His face was black and blue when he turned up to school after having the weekend to recuperate. I wonder what his parents would have to say about his battered and bruised face but I didn't care.
I guess I wasn't the only one who'd taken my anger out on him. His face was swollen for two weeks previous to that. I guess I had Jet Wolfe to thank for that but he wasn't the only one who was vexed by what had happened to my sister, Bryce was too. I knew he had a thing for herm but I chose to ignore it because I knew he would never act upon it cause he knew he would never be the right guy for her he was too much of a player to settle down with one girl and I respected him for backing away from my sister and keeping his feelings to himself and well hidden. He acted like a big brother to her and to see her hurt hurt him too.
I can't believe she told me to tell Bryce to keep away from her. He adored her and would always be there for her and protect her, just like I would.
I slammed the door behind me angrily making Bryce jump almost ten feet in the air.
Bryce
I looked at Tucker, I'd never seen him so pissed before. "Are you okay?"
"Do I look o - f*****g - kay to you?!" He snapped angrily.
Oh s**t someone had sure rattled his feathers. I gulped, scared shirtless. I'd never seen him so pissed before, on the contrary I'd seen him pissed,but never extremely pissed. "No, not really. What happened? I thought you were going to see Courtney?" I asked, gulping again.
His nose flared and his eyes grew angrily. That's when I knew he was well and truly vexed. No one had ever got him this rilled up and vexed before. "I did. She's awake."
"That's good news isn't it?"
"It would be if she hadn't kicked me out!"
Oh s**t what had he said?
"What happened?" I knew I shouldn't have asked, but I was curious and we all know what curiosity did.
"She blew up. Jet f*****g Wolfe was there in the f*****g room with her and ne had the f*****g audacity to ask what I was f*****g doing there! What the f**k was he doing there?!"
"I don't know."
And I didn't. I had a good idea but not a solid one.
"He was visiting being the good f*****g pariah he was. Asking me why I was there, wasn't it f*****g obvious?"
"Maybe not to him, he's a little dance."
"She's my f*****g sister my own flesh and blood not his, but yet he still sat there with a smug look on his face arguing s**t out until court told us to s**t the f**k up."
"I see."
"No you don't Bryce. I was so pissed I wanted to know why she was so f*****g stupid to end her life and what had made her do it?"
"So did she tell you?"
"Yeah, some bull s**t that ash had caused it all, all of her friends to turn against her."
"And you told her that?"
"Yes."
"Fuckin hell Tuck! You're a f*****g i***t. No wonder she flipped her lid, not two weeks ago you were siding with her against ash and you threw it back in her face by saying you didn't believe her, how do you think that makes her feel Tuck?"
He stared at me. "She told me I was no longer her brother and you should stay away from her too."
"What the actual f**k, Tuck?!" I said angrily as a pang shot through my heart. My angel wanted nothing more to do with me because he screwed up.
I can't believe this s**t I'd always be there for her I matter what and now she'd thrown me out of her life because of what Tucker had said to her making me feel like I was worthless and I was nothing to her. Onde I'd found out she was in hospital I was there every fuckin moment I could possibly be without affecting my school, work and getting my parents goat up.
I don't believe she dismissed me like that threw our friendship away, I had pushed my feelings for her so far back she'd become like a sister to me. I pulled myself up off the sofa.
"Where are you going? I thought that you were staying over?"
"I was until I knew Courtney was okay now she is I'm going. I need time to think."
"What about?"
"Everything."
He nodded.
I stored passed him, opening the door and walking out slamming the door behind me. I wasn't walking out on our friendship but I needed time to process. I'd lost the biggest part of my life because my brother from another mother hadn't believed his own sister, his own flesh and blood over Ashton, again.
It would take time but eventually we'd get back what we'd lost but until then I was going to work on a way for my angel to stay in my life. If it meant losing Ashton as a friend I needed to know why she had seized our friendship. There had to be more behind it than just pure coincidence and her telling Tucker to f**k off.
Jet Wolfe
"I'll sort this Court, he won't know what's hit him. He won't bother you again." Ace said in a promising voice.
"I hope so, Ace, he wants me out."
"Well we'll have to make sure that won't happen won't we?"
"Thanks Ace, for everything."
"It's the least I can do sweetie."
"I want in. You'll need help in getting in and out unnoticed. I want that fucktard to pay for everything he's done to Courtney." I piped up.
They both looked at me confused.
"You want in?" Ace asked, confused,
"That's what I said. Daind I?"
"You did, but why?"
"I'll tell you why," I took a deep breath, please Court don't hate me. "It started in year seven, Ashton Barraman and I had never seen eye to eye, he was always on my case every time I would retaliate he'd make it ten times worse for me. I was his Vourtney through the years even though she was there. He bullied the both of us cause he simply could. I began to get a bs bone in year nine by year ten me and hi were come tog against each other cause of girls that's when I approached courtney to help me get my own back on Ashton and she agreed, he hated me but he hated her more that's why I wanted her to stick around but that was short lived. I'm sorry Courtney, I used you to get back at Barraman." I sighed.
"I know."
I looked at her surprised, "H..how?"
She smiled. "Thomas warned me to stay away from you. He said you were bad news and was only using me to score points. I didn't care, I wanted you to get back at him. I wanted to help you do that because I wanted to get back at him for doing what he was doing to me."
"Oh,"
"It's okay, Jet. I understand a tone who knows barrama well knows he's a manipulative son of a b***h that everyone bows down to and believes the s**t that rolls off his tongue. Even my ex friends believed him, they believed him over me and that hurt."
I placed my arm around her, hugging her. I loved this girl but I knew she'd always chose Issac over me. "We know gorgeous, but we're here to stop him and make it all come to an end."
"What if it doesn't and he changed the steaks."
"Then we continue until he breaks."
"I agree. Asher is ruthless; he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants so we hit him twice as hard and twice as fast."
"Okay."
We both smiled.
"I have to go now Courtney, I have to meet up with Lawrence and the others."
"Does he know your plans?"
Ace laughed, " Know them, he's in with them. He wants what we want: to see his brother go down. Ashton needs to realise the world doesn't revolve around him."
I smiled and nodded in agreement.
"We'll talk soon, okay?"
"Sure."
"We'll bring him down. I promise."
We all said goodbye and Ace left the room. Leaving just me and Courtney alone.
She looked up at me. "Are you sure this is going to work?"
"Yes."
I looked at her. God, I wanted her to be mine so bad. "Are you sure about this court? Us doing this?"
"Yes, he needs to be taught a lesson, he needs to know he can't always get what he wants. He needs to be brought down to the point of no return."
I smiled leaving forward. I wasn't sure what was going to happen between now and our revenge plans on Ashton and if she would ever forgive her friends or get back with Issac, but I was all for living in the moment even if that moment was just that.
I'd got to know Courtney better these past months. She was a strong fiery girl that knew where she was heading and what she wanted.
She was a girl after my own heart. I pressed my lips on hers, kissing her softly, then moved away. Her face looked confused and looked uncertain what was going on around her.
"What was that for?"
"I like you Courtney, I like you alot. I've got to know the real you over the past few months. I know you didn't expect anything like this to happen being friends with me neither did I, so the balls in your court. I really like you but I don't want to begin anything if you may one day decide to get back with Isaac. I'd rather just be friends than know he'd be in your thoughts. I'd rather not be your second best and your rebound guy. I couldn't handle that. Just think about it okay?"
She nodded. "Okay."
I kissed her forehead. "We'll always be friends no matter what you decide. I promise you that."
