Chapter 7: Don't Want You Back

Nick

"Brian, calm down." I looked at Brian who was pacing back and forth through my hotel room. I had never seen him so angry. "Come on, talk it out. You can't just hold it in like that!"
"Fine!" Brian had finally started talking. "You wanna talk about it?! Face it! The girl's a freaking slut! That's all there is to it! I have no reason to stay with her and I don't intend to! But do you know how much she hurt me?!" He sat down on the edge of the bed. I was surprised to see him start to cry.
"Hey, man, you're not Kevin!" I never knew what to do when dudes cried so I usually tried to crack a joke. "It's alright. It's seriously okay to cry when something as bad as this happens. Just keep talking. Eventually you'll talk most of it out of your system."
"Nick, man, I loved her so much. I mean," he let out a chuckle. "I was even thinking about asking her to marry me." He turned away from me to wipe his eyes. "Nick, how am I gonna keep working with AJ, knowing that he's having my girlfriend's baby?"
"Aw, damn," I shook my head. "You really are in a bad situation. I have no idea." I tried to think of what I would do. Probably hate him for a while and then get over it, but that's not what B-Rok would do. I tried to think of what Brian would do. "Well, just try to treat him like you normally would, but just try to avoid him whenever possible."
"Nick, I..." Brian looked at me. He looked awful. "I just hate him so much! To the point where I wish that he would just drop dead! I could just wring his little neck and then throw him into a river to drown!"
"Come on, Brok. You don't mean that."
"Yes I do!" Brian got up and began pacing. He was starting to freak me out. I had never heard him talk like that. He was starting to sound really scary.
"Brok, come on, settle down. You know that you would never hurt AJ. You couldn't, you wouldn't!" I tried to talk some sense into him.
"Maybe before this happened I would never in my right mind think of seriously hurting AJ, but right now, I seriously could kill the freak!"
He got right in my face. "Don't you try to talk me out of anything. Don't you try to make me come to my senses. And don't you dare try and stop me from walking out that door."
He backed away from me slowly. His eyes were blazing with anger.
"Just tell me where you're going and I won't stop you." I was scared of what he might do.
"I'm going out for a drive." He opened the door and left, leaving the door open.
I hesitated before going to close it, afraid that Brian might think that I was going to try and stop him. I finally got up after slowly counting to ten. I walked to the door, Brian's angry voice still ringing in my head.
"And don't you dare try and stop me from walking out that door." Was that a threat? Brian was seriously starting to scare me. I just hoped that he wouldn't hurt AJ.
I looked out the door and saw Brian step into the elevator. His walk was rigid. I had never seen him get so mad. And I had never experienced fear from anyone of the guys. But now there was more than just my fear. I feared my life. And it wasn't only mine. Despite how well I knew Brok, I seriously feared for AJ's life.
