Chapter 37

*Nick*

"Don't touch me," Krysta hissed coolly, pushing out of my embrace. The terrible hoarse masking her voice, which was usually used as a tool for soothing. 

From the corner of my eye, I noticed Tey usher Mario down the hall, leaving us some time to cool our heads. I briefly noticed the blood staines that marred the white fabric of his cotton shirt. The sight of blood sent a cold chill down my spine enforcing my need to get my wife back as soon as possible. "You had no right Nikki. Am I not old enough to fight my own battles? Do you even trust me to make the right choices?"

"Krys it's not like that." It stung to witness my sister's pale blue orbs become glossy with unshed tears. Tears I somehow managed to put there. We were at odds with each other and I didn't fancy the idea one bit. She was my baby sister and the last thing I wanted to do was to hurt her. That would've very well put me on the same category as our mother. Gosh couldn't I catch a break? Everything had been running smoothly. Now, I was reduced to walking on eggshells because the two women I cared for most were suddenly drifting away from me?

"Then tell me brother, what is it like?" She retorted.

"THAT WOMAN HAS CAUSED YOU UNBEARABLE PAIN!" I snapped, a clear signal that it was time to cool off, if anything else, but once I began the words kept spilling from my mouth like upchuck. "YOU MAY BE TOUGH, BUT I'M YOUR BIG BROTHER! IT IS MY JOB TO PROTECT YOU!!! WHEN SHE LEFT, IT WAS I WHO PICKED UP THE TATTERED PIECES OF YOUR LIFE, AND TRIED TO PUT THEN BACK TOGETHER AS BEST I COULD! I HATED WHAT SHE DID TO YOU! I STILL DO AND THERE'S NO WAY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH THAT I WOULD ALLOW THAT WOMAN TO COME WITHIN TWO FEET OF YOU! TO SIMPLY MENTION HER WOULD'VE SENT YOU BACK TO THAT DARK TIME IN YOUR LIFE!"

"WELL IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR THAT NOW DON'T YOU THINK?" Krysta too had lost her nerve. She walked briskly to me, stopping mere inches from my face, a vein bulged beside her neck as she yelled at me. There was no mistaking it. To say she was royally pissed would have been understating things. She could clear a town with her temper, another trait she regrettably acquired from me.

D' hell did she just say? 

"What did you just say?" My voice dipped to barely a whisper.

"Your plan failed," She replied unethused, searching my eyes for evidence that her meaning had resonated with me. "It seemed we were destined to run into each other whether you had anything to do with it or not."

"What?" It seemed that I was proned to a lot of growling lately. 

"We ran into mother," Her words hit me like a brick wall. As of late, a lot more than usual, things kept wearing on my already fleeting patience. Namely, our mother for one. The woman could sure make her presence felt and had an irritating knack for popping up when and where everyone least expected it. My sister knew little of her exploits and whereabouts by design, and I'd rather  keep it that way. Krysta's been through enough heartache as it was, without adding our mother's misguided threats and malicious intent to the mix. Though I was certain for the most part, when she had claimed to want custody of Krysta, the woman had been lieing through her teeth. Like everything else with her, it had been a facade. It wasn't nearly as far-fetched an idea as it ought to be to perceive my baby sister's sudden grief. Also, it may just be my possessiveness or intense need to protect my wife's best interest, but I also didn't take too kindly to her being near my wife either.
