Chapter 46 –
(Rylan)
Well, holy shit was Jamie cool..I mean..he always had that edge to him but watching him now...wow, I got chills.
I glanced at my brother, seeing the realization that he really fucked up finally hitting him as Jamie bent down close to his face before speaking firmly.
"Sit." He ordered, causing Nole to fall back onto the couch as I just stood to the side, glaring at my brother.
I knew it couldn't be that easy..and after learning he was the one who sent that article to Gabs...it was disappointing as hell.
I don't know why I feel so protective over that girl already..even Jolie can't find a single fault in her..which was hard, considering she was in love with Jamie.
Now whatever Nolan's problem with her is..I have a feeling it has to do with this blonde bitch who just doesn't seem to know when to quit.
"First off, this shit is done. I'm fucking serious Nolan." Jamie suddenly boomed before kicking the damn table over, making all the crap on top crash to the floor."Notice: This chapter was created for obn5.om. If it's on any other site, it's been copied. Visit obn16.om to enjoy the original chapters directly from the source.""And secondly, I already told you what would happen if I found you two together again. You do realize she is just using you to get to my wife..don't you?" He added, making Nolan shake his head no. "J..Jamie..I know I fucked up with the drugs..but Cecelia..she isn't like that." Nolan sputtered, causing me to let out a groan before dropping my head back.
"Nole..you can't seriously be that dumb..well..actually, I'm starting to think it might be true after this shit.." I grumbled.
A part of me felt guilty..whenever Nolan went to the club before, I always went with him just because I know the trouble he got into..but then I decided to trust him..I shouldn't have let him go by himself, that wad my fault.
"Tell him." Jamie stated cooly while nodding to Cecelia who looked like she might just piss her pants.
"I was using you. My mom told me to pursue you." She suddenly blurted making Nolan's eyes widen as he looked down at his feet in disbelief. The hurt very evident..and honestly..I felt it for him, she didn't even try to fucking lie about it. "Now Cecelia, I want you to get a good look at the women around you..because you obviously didn't take my warning seriously.." Jamie added, causing Cecelia to burst into tears.
"I tried to tell my mom! But..but she wouldn't let it go! She wants that freak to.." She began to wail and the moment she said the word freak..Jamie was at her throat in an instant.
"What did you just call her?" He hissed, making my eyes widen from the anger that pulsed off of him..it was murderous.
I had never seen Jamie react so emotionally..not in the fourteen plus years I have known him..He was always calm and collected..his movements and tactics well calculated..so this was definitely new. "Apologize right fucking now for saying that." He gritted through his teeth while gripping the base of her neck.
"S.........sorry." She stuttered as her eyes shut tight before she began sobbing uncontrollably.
"Now get the hell out of here...this time there's no message to deliver..you will know it when it comes." Jamie concluded as I wished so badly that I could laugh right now..but I'm trying to be stone-faced.. Nolan keeps looking at me and I don't want him to see an ounce of joy coming from me right now.
Jamie didn't even give Cecelia a second glance as she scurried off of the couch and stumbled her way to the stairs....his eyes were now locked onto Nolan.
"Why did you do it? Don't lie to me Nolan...I know it wasn't because she told you to." Jamie suddenly stated, causing me to step closer to Nolan as I crossed my arms in front of my chest and glared down at my little brother.
"You know why I did it." Nolan responded as Jamie began to laugh..like...not a fun happy laugh..it was one you might hear in some type of horror movie.
"Did she put you up to it?"
Wait..who are we talking about?
"No..see, this is why I am doing this shit! That girl has changed everything..Jolie used to be your first priority..I didn't think you would really go through with this contract marriage bullshit..I thought you would open your eyes for a damn moment." Nolan yelled before slamming his fist on the couch angrily.
"Wait..you did this because of Jolie? That's why you are an asshole to Gabs?" I asked, feeling baffled.
"Don't fucking call her that Ry..you are no fucking better..can't you see how much this hurts Jolie? She fucking loved you Jamie since she was ten!" Nolan began to get hysterical as Jamie just stared down at him silently.
"Jolie will get over it..Jamie already told her he didn't see her like that in Aspen.." I reminded Nolan who just scoffed.
"I can't believe you are taking his side over Jolie's..even with that shit in my system I can see she is beyond hurt." He added while pointing to the mess on the floor.
"That still doesn't give you a right to try and fuck up Jamie's life... he found who he is supposed to be with. Obviously we all thought it would be cool..but you can't force someone to fall in love." I stated...realizing maybe I had a hand in this too..painting a false dream all of those years as I imagined what life would be like if Jamie married Jolie..we all wondered..but after Aspen, I let that go...I thought we all did..even Jolie.
"Nolan, you say you were doing this for Jolie..but look how much hurt you you will cause her by starting that shit again." Jamie began. "I fell in love, I met the woman that I swear was fucking made for me..everyone can see that, even Jolie..so the fact that you went out of your way to hurt the one woman I have ever truly loved.." Jamie's voice filled with emotion before pointing at Nolan.
"I thought you were my brother..I thought you of all people would be there for me." He added as Nolan looked down at his hands, tears filling his eyes as he bit his lip anxiously.
"Get up. You are fixing this shit." Jamie added before straightening his back and composing himself.
"You are going to the rehab facility tonight and once you come back in a fucking month, then you will apologize to my wife." Jamie declared, not leaving any room for argument as Nolan stood and wiped his nose with the sleeve of his shirt.
"Do..do Mom and Dad know?" He asked me, seeming to sober up as I nodded my head and stepped closer to him.
"They already packed you a bag. Nole..you have to really stop it this time..no more clubs when you get back and no more girls like that." I stated, knowing for a fact Cecelia had to be the one to get him back into this.
"Okay Ry..I'm sorry..I just..I don't know what's wrong with me.." He sobbed as I felt my chest tighten and I pulled him into my chest, holding him against me.
"You have an addiction Nolan. It's something you might have to face for the rest of your life..but you don't have to do it alone okay?" I added, making Nolan nod before pulling back and looking towards Jamie.
Jamie reached over, his hand squeezing Nolan's shoulder before tugging him along.
"Come on, the car is waiting downstairs." Jamie informed him as we made our way back through the club.
I don't know why my little brother has to suffer through this...why he can't do things like a normal person and ends up spiraling out of control..but I hope to God he can get through this because even though we can send him to rehab and try to help him fix his life..he is the only one that can really decide his fate.
He is the only one that can change his life and I know he is strong enough...he has to be...because picturing a life without him..man that fucking hurts.
"I'm sorry..I really didn't mean to hurt her.." Nolan added one last time as Jamie looked at him more gently than I had ever seen.
"I know Nole..and you can tell her that when you get out..and I promise I will try to take Jolie's feelings into account..I will do better." He added.
I guess that ended a lot better than I thought...and I can't help but admire my best friend even more..like I said before...damn is Jamie cool.
