Chapter nine Shock

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 licensed 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 and 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 leave." 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 ask pointing the gun at his forehead. "Sh-she told me she was, she said that you're her very overprotective 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 ask 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.

I then turn my attention to Kayla who was also shaking and crying. "Why Kay? Why in God's name do you have another man in our bed? And you told him I was your brother Kay? That's just sick." I said with tears in my eyes as I walk around.

"I'm so….so sorry, please don't hate me, it didn't mean anything." She whimpered. "Please baby let me explain." "Explain! What the hell is there to explain Kayla? You've been having sex with that man for over three years and he thinks I'm your brother! I don't understand Kayla make me understand!" I said pacing the room.

"I'm sorry Ty it was just a stupid plan that Susan came up with, like a last adventure before I got married. I'm so sorry you weren't supposed to know about this." "That's a lie! You've been sleeping with him for over three years! Three fucking years Kayla." I shout as my body shakes with anger.

"A part of me should've expected this; after all, I've been cheated on and dumped before but I thought you were different; I convinced myself you were different but I was wrong, once again I was wrong. I went against my parent's wishes for you, they didn't want me to move out but I did, for you!" I shout again.

"But this's your fault, you lied to me, you said you were almost to the movie; why did you come back?" She asks twisting her hands. "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10, please God help me to remain calm, I really don't want to have an episode right now and please keep me from putting a bullet in this woman's head. I can't even begin to tell you how fucking irrelevant that question is right now." I said through gritted teeth.

"And did I hear you right? I lied to you? You have been cheating on me for over three years and I'm the one who lied? I gave you everything you could ever ask for, my heart, my love, money, my complete trust, and all this time you've been cheating on me?" My head was spinning, my heart was pounding, I felt sick.

"You had better thank your lucky stars that I took an oath to save lives because I'm a second away from ending yours."

"I'm sorry baby, it was a mistake, please forgive me." She said coming towards me, she reached out her hand to touch me but I step away from her. "Don't touch me," I said scornfully.

"All this time! All this time, the same mouth you used to go down on him is the same mouth you were going to used to kiss me when I came back home tonight, how disgusting can you be?" I ask taking deep breaths. "When you lost the baby you deliberately didn't call me; he was there with you so you didn't need me right? Or maybe it was because the baby probably wasn't even mine. And now this child you're carrying may not even be mine either."

"It is your baby Ty." She mumbles. "I gave you everything I had in me to give; there was nothing I wouldn't have done for you; I would have taken a bullet for you and all this time, all this time Kay." His voice was so cold and full of pain that it sent shivers down her spine.

"I'm sorry Ty; it's just that Susan was doing it so I thought I could try it too." She mumbled again. "Susan was doing it, so you did it too, what are you ten!" I demand shaking my head in disbelief. "You're a grown-ass woman Kayla." She came towards me again but I again step away from her got up, put the gun back in the holster on my waist, and stormed from the room.

I got in my vehicle, switched on the engine, and sped away from the gate. At first, I thought of going to my friends but as much as I love them I really wasn't in the mood for an I told you so speech. My parents, I could always count on them. Turning the car in that direction I head to my parent's house.

On my way there the pain in my chest got worst, my breathing got more shallow and the dizziness got worst. I knew I was about to have an episode and there was no way to stop it. On reaching a spot where people usually sat and look at the Kingston lights I pull the vehicle over and switched off the engine I then step out and went around to the back seat to get my oxygen mask. I felt as if someone had a bag over my head, I literally couldn't breathe. I close the car door and walking over to one of the benches, I attempt to put the mask on but everything went black before I could.

Kayla twines her hair around her fingers as she paced her bedroom floor. "This can't be happening, not after all I've done to become his wife." She mumbled to herself. "If only that idiot Jake didn't insist on coming over tonight, none of this would've happened, he said he had thirty thousand dollars to give me and that was the only reason I let him come but that's beside the point; now I have to find a way to fix this, I've to be his wife, I'll not go back to being poor or broke; I won't. Ty has money and will be getting a lot more soon, I need him, I can't lose him, not now, not ever, he's mine and I've to find a way to get him back, I need to make him forgive me. I can do this, he loves me, I know he does, and that's all that matters."
