“I guess I will get to meet him after all,” Jared said as he
swung open the door. The look on his face when he saw Link on the other side of
the door was priceless…and by priceless I mean the worst possible look you
could ever imagine.
“What the hell are you doing here? Man, you have some
nerve,” he barked at Link.
Jared backed up as Link entered the apartment. I closed my
eyes in
defeat,
as I
knew none of this was going to end very well. Link stared Jared directly in the
face and said, “I'm here to see your sister. I'm picking her up for a date.
This has nothing to do with you.”
Jared spun his head around at me, so fast that it seemed
like it was a scene from
The Exorcist.
“This is the guy that you are
going out on a date with? Have you lost your mind Gemma?”
“Jared, I can explain...”
“Oh can you really? How the hell are you going to do that?”
“Look, go easy on Gemma, our war is between you me, it has
nothing to do with her.”
Jared got in Link's face and I had to pray that he wasn't
going to try to hit him. “Why don't you mind your own business? This is between
my sister and me. How the hell did you sneak your way into her life anyways?
Did you lie to her too?”
“Jared, that's enough. I understand you're angry but there
is no reason to behave this way,” I said.
“No of course not Gemma, you're just in bed with the enemy
and you don't think that might bother me. The guy is a crook Gemma, didn't you
hear a word I said or do you just not care about anyone but yourself?”
His words stung and tears welled up in my eyes. I was
shocked that he was talking to me that way. I should have told him by now about
Link; I just hadn't wanted to hurt him. The conversation had just been too
difficult for me to have. Or maybe it was simply that I didn't want to have the
conversation. I knew that he wouldn't understand.
“I'm not a crook Jared; you are the one that is trying to take
something that doesn't belong to you. This smear campaign of yours is going to
blow up in your face, you just wait and see.”
Just then, Jared threw a punch at Link.
Moving easily, like it was no problem, Link ducked. He
wasn't about to let Jared try to get another one in however, and he tackled him
to the ground. I stood there watching in horror as the two men wrestled it out,
throwing punches right there in my living room. Jared had managed to get on top
and was swinging at Link. I grabbed his shoulder and pulled. I didn't have
nearly the strength that the men had but it was enough to get Jared's
attention. He looked back at me and I screamed, “What the hell are you doing?
Stop this right now.”
Jared got up from Link angrily. Still keeping an eye on my
brother, Link got up as well, trying to straighten out his shirt.
“You guys need to stop fighting right now, this is
ridiculous.”
“No, I'm out of here,” Jared stormed away from me and headed
for the door.
“Jared, wait! We need to talk about this.”
He waved me off, “Forget it. I will never forgive you for
this.” He slammed the door behind him.
