Some Kind Of Wonderful

Chapter Thirty One:
Oh Thy Brother!

“Jaiden?”

“Hmm?” Jaiden mumbled his tired blue eyes glaring at the pale white ceiling of his bedroom.

“Are you okay?”

Jaiden blinked when the girls face came into his sight blocking his view of the ceiling. He frowned. “No not really. How can you even ask me that Ev?”

Eyvah bit her bottom lip pulling the sheet around her tighter. “You’re having regrets.” She said her tone miffed.

Jaiden closed his eyes with a sigh he sat up on the side of the bed his head buried in his hands. “I’m completely fucked up.” He mumbled shaking his head.

Eyvah shifted on the bed and sat behind him dropping a kiss over his toned shoulder. “Baby, you can’t help the way you feel, the way we feel for each other. This was bound to happen sooner or later.” She said soothingly squeezing his shoulders.

Jaiden’s head snapped up and looked back at her. “Do you not feel bad at all?”

Eyvah looked taken aback. “Of course I do Jaiden. I do like Dayne he’s a sweet guy, but you can’t expect me to just shove aside my feelings for you.”

Jaiden met her eyes and recognised the warmth and love she held in them, the best part was it was for him. Jaiden never knew what it was like to be looked at with love until he met Eyvah.

After their first kiss at the club he swore he wasn’t going to make the same mistake again but he couldn’t stop himself from wanting her. Every time she’s around he gets all nervous and his stomach ties itself in knots. He would find himself staring at her lips when she spoke, wanting to taste her, feel her against his own.

Over the past few months they spent a lot of time together most of the time alone without Dayne being around. Jaiden felt like a Class-A dick for doing this to his brother but it was like his own body or mind wouldn’t listen to reason.

So two months ago the affair began and it hasn’t stopped since. Even though Jaiden ended it a million times, he would still find himself right back with her two hours later.

But this evening was when it all got out of control, he over stepped the boarder by bedding his brothers girlfriend. His brother who looked out for him on so many occasions, the brother that got him out of jail.

“It’s not just our feeling involved here Eyvah. When this gets out all hell is going to break loose. I’m going to lose my family and worst of all Dayne is never going to forgive me...ever.” he said with sorrow.

Eyvah slid off the bed and sat on her knees on the floor between his legs looking up at him. “Jaiden, do you love me?” she asked.

Jaiden looked at her silently for a moment before nodding. “I wouldn’t have gotten myself into this mess and betrayed my brother, if I didn’t.”

Eyvah reached up and cupped his face with her hands. “Do you love me enough to fight for what we have?” she asked again.

“Yes, but I don’t think I can handle losing my family, Ev.” He admitted indignantly.

“Jaiden, if anyone can understand forbidden love it’s your parents.” Eyvah said.

Jaiden shook his head. “This is completely different.”

“How, didn’t they secretly see each other behind your aunts back?”She said and Jaiden frowned thoughtfully. “Didn’t they betray her to be together?”

“Yes, but my father slept with her best friend, he didn’t screw around with her lover. Not that he’s gay or anything...you know what I mean?”

Eyvah nodded, “I do, but love doesn’t listen to reason and they both know that. Hell even Leila can tell you that, you can’t help who you love no matter who you may end up betraying in the process.”

“It doesn’t make me feel any better Eyvah. I’m going to have to come clean to Dayne. If he finds out elsewhere he’s going to flip, not that he won’t flip when I tell him, but it will lessen the blow at least a little.” He said running his fingers through his hair.

Eyvah nodded and smiled tightly when Jaiden pulled her into his lap burying his face into the crook of her neck inhaling her scent. “I’ll be there with you if you want.”

Jaiden shook his head and looked up at her. “No, I gotta do this alone. You can’t be there. If I know Dayne and I do this shits gonna end with fists flying and I don’t want you there to get hurt.”

Eyvah felt her gut twist at his words. “Will it really come to that?” she asked worriedly.

“Yeah, but that’s not what I’m worried about. The blows will hurt my bones but the look he’s going to give me is what’s going kill me. The look when I tell him I slept with his girlfriend...that’s what’s going to finish me off.” Jaiden said his blue eyes glossing over.

Eyvah ran her fingers through his hair. “When are you planning on telling him?”

Jaiden sighed, “Whenever I see him next. He’ll probably be around for dinner tonight so I’ll tell him then.”

Eyvah chewed on her lip nervously, “Your family’s going to hate me aren’t they?”

Jaiden tightened his hold on her pressing his forehead to her temple. “I won’t let them.” He told her lovingly.

--------------

“He’s irresistible up close and personal; now inescapable I can hardly breathe. More than just physical deeper then spiritual his ways are powerful, irresistible to me...” Isabelle sang along with the radio swaying her hips while she cooked the food.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind. She smiled when she recognised the aftershave and added little more sway to her hips.

Jordan grinned while nuzzling his wife’s neck. “Who are you singing to, sexy?” he whispered huskily in her ear.

Isabelle smiled back at him. “Oh, didn’t I tell you, I have a new lover now.” She teased.

Jordan smirked. “Do you now. And who might this new lover be?” he asked with a playful tone.

“I don’t think you know him.” she said stirring the sauce in front of her.

“Really, why don’t you tell me about this lover of yours, hmm?” he mumbled nibbling on her earlobe causing Isabelle to quiver.

“Let’s see, he’s tall, dark and very handsome.”

Jordan moaned, “That sounds very familiar.”

“He’s also very good in bed, has the stamina of an eighteen year old.” She said quietly. Jordan chuckled.

“I definitely know this guy.” He said turning her to face him. “Does he go by the nickname, Adonis?”

“Mm, he does. He looks like one too.” She said looking up at him through her thick lashes her finger trailing up his chest.

Jordan groaned. “Don’t look at me like that, the kids will be here any minute and I don’t wanna have to greet them with an erection.” He said leaning forward till his lips were a breath away from hers.

Isabelle grinned and looked up at him meeting his eyes. “Well I suggest you step away then. You know how it goes, if we stand closer than a few inches our hormones run wild and we end up losing control. So shoo.”

Jordan frowned, “Don’t you shoo me.”

“I can shoo you if I damn well please to.” she said kinking her brow at him.

“No you can’t.” He said furrowing his brows.

“Yes I can, you’re in my territory so I can to shoo you.” Isabelle said with a scowl.

“Oh we have territories now do we?” Jordan asked pressing himself into her.

“Yes, you got a problem with that?” Isabelle asked with a smirk.

Jordan grinned, “You betcha ass I have a problem with that.”

“Yeah, whatcha gonna do about it Callaway?” Isabelle said looking up at him challengingly.

“This,” he mumbled before he snatched her lips quickly drawing her into a feverish kiss. Isabelle moaned pushing herself up on
her tip toes she deepened the kiss further her arms circling his neck.

“Ahem!” Isabelle and Jordan were completely lost in each other to even hear Leila, Marc and Melis enter. When Leila cleared her
throat, the lovers jumped apart breathless with matching guilty looks on their flushed faces.

Jordan cleared his throat. “Hey, Leila...” He said with a sheepish smile he scratched his head awkwardly.

“Hey Dad, how’s Mom’s teeth looking these days?” she teased. Marc chuckled beside her.

“Yeah, yeah good she’s still flossing.” She said slapping Isabelle on the back and sent Leila a toothy grin.

Leila nodded; “Hmm right, maybe Marc should check mine?” she said and watched as Jordan’s toothy grin disappeared and a scowl took its place.

“Of course, you know if he doesn’t mind losing his legs.” Jordan said with a shrug. Isabelle laughed when she saw Marc’s face pale visibly.

Leila poked her tongue out at her father who threw a piece of cabbage at her. “Don’t get cheeky young lady.” He said with a grin. “So how is my princess?” he asked after a beat.

Leila smiled, “I’m fine daddy.” She said bouncing a month old Melis in her arms.

Jordan frowned playfully at his daughter, “Not you, I’m talking about Meli.” He said and took his granddaughter in his arms.

Leila scowled at her father. Jordan chuckled when he caught her look. “I’m kidding, peach. How are you feeling baby?” he said
pressing a kiss to her forehead.

Leila beamed, “I’m good, daddy. Just a little tired.”

Isabelle came looked up from her daughter and frowned with concern. “You look it honey, is she keeping you up?” Isabelle asked.

“No, she’s fine.” She said with a shrug.

“Leila...” Marc said from beside her.

“Alright, fine she’s totally keeping me up all night.” She told her mother then turned to Marc. “Happy?”

“No I’m not; I’m worried about you Leil's. You’re going to get sick if you keep on like this.” Marc told her concern evident in
his voice.

“Marc’s right honey, if you don’t get your rest you’ll end up in depression. Trust me; you need to make sure rest when the
Meli’s asleep.”

“I know I will, I promise.” She said ending the conversation. The front door opened and shut and footsteps were heard
approaching the kitchen.

“Hey.” Dayne greeted with a smile when he walked in. He kissed Isabelle on the cheek before kissing Leila and Melis on the
forehead.

“Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while. What you don’t think to call your dear old sister anymore, huh?” she asked crossing her arms over her chest.

Dayne smiled sheepishly, “Yeah sorry about that. Life’s been hectic ya know?” he said pulling out a drink from the fridge. “You good though, right?” he asked his sister before sipping his coke.

“Yes thank you I’m fine. It wouldn’t kill you to pick up the damn phone and call once in a while.” Leila scolded him.

“Oh come on don’t get mad Leila, I’ll make it up to you, I promise.” Dayne said with a pleading look.

“Whatever.” She said trying to seem passive but grinned when Dayne pouted at her childishly.

“I hate you.” She mumbled.

“And I love you too.” He said slinging an arm around her shoulder pulling her in for a quick hug. “Where’s Jaiden?” he asked when he once again noticed his brother was missing.

They all shrugged. “Wasn’t he with you?” Isabelle asked with a frown. Dayne shook his head.

“No I haven’t seen him all week. I’ve barely spoken to him, come to think of it.” He said with a deep frown.

At that the front door was heard slamming shut once again. “Speak of the devil.” Leila said as Jaiden walked in to the kitchen.

“Hey there, stranger, glad you could find your way back home.” Isabelle said smiling softly at her son.

Jaiden looked up and his eyes immediately met Dayne’s. He clenched his jaw tightly the muscles throbbing. He must have looked nervous because a deafening silence fell upon the room.

“Hey.” Jaiden croaked his eyes cast down.

“Jaiden what’s wrong?” Jordan asked noticing his son’s discomfort.

Jaiden met his father’s gaze and shook his head. “I’m, uh fine.” He mumbled and walked over to the refrigerator to pull out a
beer. He popped the top and gulped down half the bottle in one go.

Isabelle and Jordan exchanged looks before regarding her son once again. “J, where you been I haven’t seen you in week, is everything alright?” Dayne asked his brother.

Jaiden didn’t look up at Dayne he just shrugged.”I’ve been around. Just been busy is all.” He said picking at the beer bottles label.

“Why haven’t you been answering my calls then?”

“What’s with the Spanish inquisition? I said I’ve been busy, okay?” he snapped agitated.

Dayne frowned, “Jaiden, why aren’t you looking at me?” he asked straightening. Jaiden continued to glare at the floor. “Did I
do something—“

Jaiden shook his head, “—No, it’s not you.” he said scratching his nose nervously.

“Then what is it, something’s obviously bothering you-- and would you fucking look at me?” Dayne snapped hotly.

Jaiden lifted his eyes and met Dayne’s gaze. “Look, we’ll talk after dinner.” Jaiden said his voice taut.

Dayne narrowed his eyes but nodded nonetheless. The matter was dropped but the tension in the air was as thick as fog. As the
rest ate Jaiden pushed his food around his plate lost in a daze.

Dayne was watching him closely while eating silently. Something was bothering him; Dayne knew Jaiden and he would never act like this unless something serious was wrong.

After they all finished their meal Jaiden cleared his throat. “Dayne, c-can we talk for s-sec?” he stammered nervously. Dayne nodded and followed him out of the dining room and into the living room.

Dayne sat on the sofa watching as Jaiden went over to the bar and poured himself a shot of vodka. He downed it quickly before refilling it and repeating the process. He poured another and held it out to Dayne who looked at him questioningly.

“Trust me you’re going to need it.” He said distantly. Dayne took the shot and downed it before setting the glass down on the table in front of him.

“Jaiden, what’s going on?” Dayne asked leaning forward resting his elbows on his knees while regarding his brother carefully.
Jaiden sat in the single chair opposite his brother in the same position except he was fiddling with his thumbs. “I don’t, um,
know how to quite tell you this, but, um...” Jaiden mumbled looking down at his hands intently.

“But what...?” Dayne asked curiously.

“Look, Dayne I need you to...I want you to know that I never wanted things to turn out this way.” He said.

Dayne sighed, “Jaiden what the hell are you babbling on about?” he asked exasperated.

“It’s about Eyvah.” He said quickly. Dayne sat straighter.

“What about her?” he asked stiffly. Jaiden buried his face into his hands and cursed. Dayne narrowed his eyes. “Jaiden?” he
looked up and Dayne blinked when he saw the guilt on his face.

“I’m sorry.” He whispered. Dayne clenched his jaw tightly until he felt an ache.

“Why are you apologising?” he asked warily. When Jaiden shook his head Dayne looked at him in disbelief. “Tell me you didn’t,” he asked quietly. Jaiden remained silent dropping his eyes to the ground in shame. “Jaiden, tell me you didn’t!” he said louder this time.

“I’m so sorry.” Jaiden apologised again.

Dayne shot up to his feet in a second. “No, you wouldn’t. You...YOU SLEPT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND?!” Dayne barked jumping over the table he pulled Jaiden up by his shirts collar and shoved him hard into the wall.

“Dayne, I’m sorry I never meant for it to happen I swear.”

“How could you, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS...TO ME?!” Dayne yelled shoving him into the wall again.

“What the hell is going on in here?” Jordan asked rushing over to yank Jaiden out of his brother’s death grip. Isabelle, Marc
and Leila came running into the living room.

“I’M GONNA KILL YOU!” Dayne roared and punched Jaiden square on the jaw knocking him to the floor. Everyone in the room gasped Jordan held Dayne back as he lunged for Jaiden again.

Isabelle and Leila flew over to check on Jaiden who was bleeding all over the white carpet. “Are you okay?” Leila asked her baby brother who hissed and nodded.

“How long?” Dayne asked looking down at his brother. “How long have you been screwing my girlfriend, huh?”

Isabelle and Leila gasped looking between the boys with wide eyes. “Dayne what are you saying?” Isabelle asked her eldest son.

Dayne ignored Isabelle and continued to glare at Jaiden.

“I asked you a fucking question, how long?”

Jaiden got up to his feet slowly and wiped the blood from his mouth on his sleeve. “I only slept with her once.” He told his brother.

“When?”

“What?” Jaiden asked looking up at this brother. He really didn’t wanna answer that question.

“WHEN?”

“Does it matter?” Jaiden asked and received an even darker glare from his brother.

“Yes it fucking does, now answer me damn it!”

“Today, okay I slept with her today. Do you want the time too?” Jaiden snapped hotly.

Dayne’s eyes turned to steel; he broke free from Jordan’s hold and lunged for Jaiden knocking to the floor before punching him
over and over again. “Dayne STOP IT!” Isabelle screamed.

Jordan and Marc hurried to pull Dayne off Jaiden who was coughing and sputtering his face drenched in blood.

“You bastard, the thousands of girls out there weren’t enough you had to screw my girl too.” Dayne bellowed furiously.

“It wasn’t like that.” Jaiden muttered spitting out blood. “You’re acting like I slept with her for fun.” Jaiden snapped hotly. “I love her.”

Dayne stiffened, “You fucking what?”

“I love her and she loves me.”

“Oh my god...” Leila mumbled from beside Jaiden.

“She...how fucking long has this been going on?” Dayne barked stepping closer to Jaiden only to be pulled back by his father.

“We’ve been together for two months.” Jaiden admitted. Isabelle and Leila looked at him in disbelief. Jordan closed his eyes and shook his head.

“TWO MONTHS!” Dayne fought to get to Jaiden again but Jordan held him back firmly. “YOU SON OF A...!”

“Enough!” Jordan yelled his voice firm. “Dayne get your ass over there.” He said pointing behind him. “Stay there, you hit your brother again and I’ll make you look just as bad, got it?” Dayne paced back and forth glaring icily at Jaiden.

“Leila go get the first aid kit from the kitchen and clean up your idiot of a brother.” he told Leila who nodded and hurried off to get the supplies. “Now we’re going to sit down and talk about this, rationally like adults. If one more fist is thrown I’ll be sure to beat you both.” He threatened.

Leila came back in and glanced at Marc who smiled sadly rocking their daughter in his arms. She shook her head and mouthed ‘I’m sorry’ to him.

Marc shook his head dismissing the apology. Leila kneeled down beside her brother and began cleaning him up. Jaiden met her eyes and saw nothing but disappointment. Leila shook her head at him and sighed tiredly.

“Now, Jaiden why don’t you explain what on earth you were thinking having an affair with your brother’s girlfriend?” Jordan asked.

“I never meant for it to happen, it just did. I can’t help the way I feel about her. I tried to fight it, I ignored it but somehow we always ended up together again.”

Dayne snorted while pacing. “Funny all I hear in that sentence is ‘I...I...I’ you selfish dick.” He hissed still pacing.

“You think I wanted this, you think wanted to fucking fall for her. The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you D.”

“Fuck you Jaiden, you didn’t give a fucking toss about me so don’t stand there talk shit to me.”

“Jaiden, I don’t think you quite understand the seriousness of this situation. How could you do this to your own brother? It’s one thing to do this to a stranger but your own brother, have you no shame?” Isabelle asked

“I made a mistake by pursing her I know that, but if anyone can understand what it’s been like for me it’s you guys.” He said looking between his parents.

Jordan shook his head. “No Jaiden, this is completely different.”

Jaiden frowned. “How didn’t you betray Aunt Kelly to be with mom?”

“Yes but she wasn’t dating Isabelle was she!” Jordan snapped. “I would never have done what you did to my brother had I had one. I don’t care how much I wanted her or how crazy in love I was with her. It’s not right whichever way you spin it. You never shit on your own doorstep, Jaiden!”

“I always knew you were a piece of shit, but I never in all my life thought you would stoop this low, to do this to me of all people.” Dayne hissed.

“Dayne I’m sorr-“

“NO! Don’t you fucking apologise to me. If you wanted her so badly why didn’t you ask her out before WE got together? Or did she only become an interest to you when she was unavailable. You always did enjoy challenges.” Dayne retorted “I bet you fed her all kinds of bullshit till you got her fall for you, didn’t you?”

“It wasn’t like that. She was in to me from the beginning so didn’t have to feed her anything.”

Dayne narrowed his eyes and took a step closer to Jaiden. “Really, if that’s the case why did she agree to date me? Why did she sleep with me if it was you she wanted all along?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t fucking ask.” Jaiden snapped angrily.

“What’s wrong Jaiden, does it piss you off that I got to screw her first. She didn’t even spare you a single thought when she
was in my bed.” Dayne said tauntingly.

Jaiden stood up and stepped up to his brother. “Really, is that why she came running to me? Clearly you couldn’t satisfy her enough for her to go looking elsewhere.”

“JAIDEN!” Jordan barked.

Dayne saw red he shoved Jaiden hard away from before he punched him hard on the temple. “FUCK YOU, You piece of shit. You and your fucking whore can both go to hell.”

Jaiden raised to his feet again his eyes stormy, ready to fight his brother when Jordan stepped between them. “That’s enough, you’re brother are you really going to let a girl come between you?” he asked looking between them.

Dayne yanked his arm out of Jordan’s hold, “No you’re wrong dad, he’s no brother of mine.” he said his voice shaking with anger. “As far as I’m concern, you’re dead to me.” he said and stormed off.

“Marc go after him make sure he doesn’t drive in that state.” Jordan told him. Leila stopped him.

“No, I’ll go. He’ll lash out and hit you. If anyone can calm him it’s me.” she said. “You going to be okay with Mel?” she asked
Marc.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine. Just be careful.” He told and she nodded before running out of the room after her brother.

Leila caught Dayne just as he was storming off to his car. “Dayne?” she called out to him but he ignored her. She raced over to him and stepped in front of his door just as he was about to open it.

“Get out of my way.” He hissed darkly shaking with anger.

Leila shook her head. “No, you’re not driving while you’re in this state. Give me your keys.” She said holding out her hands.

Dayne glared at her. “Get the hell out of my way!” he snapped. Leila didn’t even flinch.

“Listen to me, you are not driving like this give me your keys and I will take you where you need to go.”

“Leila, please just leave me alone.” He said his blue eyes pooled with tears.

“No I won’t. We’ve always been there for each other right? Look at me D?” Dayne raised his eyes and met hers. “It’s going to be okay.” She assured him.

Dayne shook his head. “No, it’s not. I just lost my brother.” He said tears streaming from his eyes. Leila wiped his tears away and pulled him for a tight hug. “How could he do this to me?” He mumbled into her shoulder.

“I don’t know kid; I honestly don’t know what’s going on inside that idiots head.” she said releasing him. “Come on, get in.” She said gesturing to the car with her head.

Dayne obeyed and got in the passenger seat glaring outside the window. “Where you wanna go?” Leila asked starting up Dayne’s Lexus convertible.

“Anywhere, just drive.” He mumbled leaning over he pushed the button on the CD player and turned it up full blast. This was a method both Leila and Dayne used when they were angry or pissed. It was first introduced by Leila, wherever she had a fight
with Chase she would get in the car turn up the stereo and drive aimlessly.

Leila took off down the street with Staind So Far Away tearing through the speakers. Dayne watched as the lights rolled by.

Tears of anger falling from his eyes, he wasn’t angry at Eyvah he didn’t give a toss about Eyvah. He was betrayed by his
brother, his best friend who he shared most of his life with.

Back at home Jaiden was arguing with his parents. “HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID?” Isabelle screamed at him. “YOUR OWN BROTHER!”
Jaiden stood still in his spot watching his mother scream bloody murder at him. “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?” he yelled back.

“I want you to take some responsibility for your actions Jaiden, this isn’t a game have you any idea how much you hurt your brother...your family?!” Isabelle asked her blue eyes wide with fury.

“Of course I do. And I already said I was sorry.”

“Sorry... you think your apology is going to fix the damaged you caused? Jesus Christ, I thought you had more sense than this
Jaiden, is this how I raised you, to steal and be envious of your own flesh and blood?”

“I am not envious of him nor did I steal anything that didn’t wanna be stolen. You can’t steal something if he never really had her to begin with. She didn’t love him and he didn’t love her.”

Jordan frowned. “For goodness sake Jaiden, that’s not the point, it’s about principle. How are you going to look your brother in face again?”

Jaiden shrugged, “I don’t think that’s going to be an issue. You heard what he said as far as he’s concerned I’m dead.” Jaiden said cuttingly.

“And you’re okay with that. Losing your only brother over a girl?” Jordan asked his brown eyes narrowed.

“She’s not just a girl, Dad. She’s my girl.”

“No Jaiden, she was your brother’s girl. She was with him, she kissed and she slept with him how could you have the stomach to even look at her in the wrong way let alone sleep with her?” Isabelle asked disgusted.

“I love her, okay, how many times am I going to have to say it?”

Isabelle shook her head. “Jaiden, I don’t care how much you love her, you are not to see her again am I making myself clear?”
Isabelle said stonily glaring at her son.

Jaiden looked at her wide eyed. “What?” he asked disbelief. “You’ve got to be kidding me?”

Isabelle looked at menacingly. “Do I look like I’m kidding? I forbid you to see her again.” Jaiden shook his head and looked at
his father for support.

“No, no way. You can’t stop me from seeing her. I won’t.”

“Yes you will. That girl won’t and never will be welcome in his house again and so long as you’re with her neither are you. Do you hear me?” Jordan said sternly.

“YOU CAN’T DO THIS!” he bellowed at his parents.

“Watch your tone boy.” Jordan warned him lowly.

“Mom?” Jaiden said looking at Isabelle who shook her head. “I can’t believe you. You’re siding with Dayne over me, he’s not
even your son!” he bawled furiously.

For the first time in eighteen years Jaiden got a slap from his mother. “How dare you. When did you become so damn insolent?
Dayne is my son just as much as you are and he is your brother do you hear me. If you’re willing to be with a girl who can come between the two of you and break the tight bond you share then you’re no son of mine. I will not tolerate this kind of behaviour from you; if you chose to be with Eyvah then you wipe your hands of this family and go be with her where Dayne can’t see or hear about it because I will not have you rub it in his face.” Isabelle said her hands fisted by her sides.

Jaiden looked at her coldly. “Then you’re no mother of mine.” Jaiden said maliciously and stormed out of the house.

(The Reason, Hoobastank)

Isabelle watched her son’s retreating back until he disappeared out of sight. “Oh god.” She gasped falling into her husband’s arms her body shaking with anguished sobs.

**

Jaiden pulled up outside Eyvah’s house with a heavy heart. He just walked out on his family and he wasn’t even sure if things would work out between them.

He climbed out of the car and made it over to her door. He knocked a few times and waited for an answer. The door opened and Eyvah gasped when she saw the state of Jaiden. “Oh my god, baby what has he done to you?” she asked tears filling her eyes as she took in his battered face.

“It’s over. I just lost my entire family.”

&&&&
Oh dear. The Callaway’s Just can’t seem to catch a break, huh?

I wasn’t initially planning on having the Jaiden/Eyvah/Dayne situation play out like this but I didn’t see the need in dragging it all out for chapters and chapters.

About the last chapter, most of you found it weird that Jordan would tell his kids a story that explicit. Well just to clarify he didn’t go into too much detail about the ‘sexual’ part of it. He’s ending to that story would have been, “And I took action, one of which I am not going to share with you in detail...” get my drift...lol

Anyways love to hear your comments about this chapter so as always I will be eagerly be waiting with ants in my pants.
