Second Chances

chapter nine Double shocks

They were both so engrossed in what they were doing that they didn't even see me. At first I was so shocked that I couldn't even move, then came a nauseated feeling inside my stomach, then came anger, it hit me with such force that I took my gun from my waist at the back of my pants and wait a minute did I mention that I was also a license firearm holder, yep just like my dad and Fabian but not Caleb he has anger issues but I'm getting off track here, so where was I? So after I took out my weapon I walk over to the power strip on the ground and stepped on it which shut off both the T.V and the stereo.

They almost jumped out of their skins when they saw me pointing the gun at them. Kayla looked as if she was going to faint and the man looked as though he was about to have a heart attack "Who.....Wha....Kay...Wha.....Why...Kay?....What the hell are you doing?" I stuttered in shock, disbelief. "Wait baby.... Wait? It's not what it looks like."Kayla said in panic grabbing at her clothes.

"Really Kay, you did not just say that." I moan, in disgust, hurt and pain. "P-Please don't shoot me." The man pleads frantically trying to put his clothes on.

"Okay I accept the fact that I probably won't make it out of here alive. Kayla has told me over and over how hostile you are, so I know that I'm going to die tonight but please before you shoot, please listen." He said in a shaky tone but it was clear that he was trying to be brave.

"Jake ...Stop... I...." Kayla pleads with the man but he stops her by holding up his palm. "No Kay, this has gone on long enough and if I'm going to die tonight then I'm going to say this first." He said taking a deep breath as he turn towards me.

I think I am still in shock because I didn't move or speak but I was definitely listening. "I've wanted to speak with you for a long time now but Kayla keeps telling me not to." "Jake just shut up and leaves." Kayla hiss. "Leave! The man is pointing a gun at my head Kayla!"

Now unknown to me I had lean my head to one side and release the safety on the gun which made the man panic even more. I wasn't even aware that I had moved but I guess I did because the man was now sweating. "Alright listen man, Kayla told me that you blamed me for the death of our child two years ago but that wasn't my fault, I love your sister with all my heart and I would never do anything to hurt her or our child." The man said breathlessly.

I felt like someone had just plunged a knife in my chest and kick me to the ground knocking the air from my lungs. "My what! What the fuck gave you the impression that she was my sister?" I asks pointing the gun at his forehead. "Sh-she told me she was, she said that you're her very over protective brother and you're the only family she has." Kayla was now as white as a sheet. The man was about to move but the look I gave him froze him to the spot.

"How long have you known Kayla?" I asks the man coldly. "Over.... thr...three years." The man answered nervously. "When exactly did I go from being your fiancé to your brother Kayla?" I ask, fixing her with a hostile glare while still pointing the gun at the man.  "Oh my God....no...no this can't be true, it can't." The man was more talking to himself than to them.

"My God Kayla, what have you done? Is this baby you're carrying even mine?" The man asks in disbelief. That makes two of us. I thought as he turns back to me. "She said that you were her older brother, listen man I didn't know, please, I would never disrespect you like that in your own home."He said panic clear in his voice.

But how could he thought that, with all the photos of me and Kayla all around this room...wait bloody hell where are all the photos? I thought looking around the room, gone they were all gone.

The man was shaking so hard he couldn't even stand straight, as sweat poured down his face. "Get out." I sneered coldly at the man who practically bolted from the room.
