Chapter 18


Jason?!!!!!!!!

Jason was here.

Omg.

I turned to my side. Ryan was still sleeping beside me. His arm was wrapped around my waist. We were both naked and the only thing covering us was the blanket.

"Jason!" I yelled.

Ryan was still asleep and he was mumbling incoherently.

I shook his shoulder and tried to wake him up.

"Ryan. Wake up. Please wake up. You have to wake up."

"Five more minutes, mom." Ryan grumbled.

"It's not your mom, dumbass. I'm Liam and Jason is here." I exclaimed.
 Ryan opened his eyes and looked at me.

"What? Did you say, Jason?" He asked and blinked.

"Y...Yes." I stammered and gestured towards Jason.

Ryan turned his head and his eyes landed on his brother.

"Oh sht." He muttered.

" Jason. What are you doing here?" He asked.

Jason didn't respond. Instead he just stared at us and shook his head. An awkward silence fell upon us and nobody said a word. Ryan and I stared at her and waited for her to speak. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Jason spoke.

"What the fuck?" He screamed.

His voice was filled with anger.

"What the fck is going on? What is this?" Jason pointed to Ryan and me.

"Um...uh. Well. Uh."

I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

"Answer me! Why are you naked and why the fck is he naked?" He asked again.

Then he began to pace around. I could see the anger building up inside him. He was shaking his head and his hands were clenched into fists.

"Jason, it's not what it looks like." I tried to speak.

"Don't lie to me! Don't even think about lying to me. I can see what's going on. I'm not blind." Jason shouted.

He glared at me.

"How long, Liam? How long have you been fucking my brother?" he yelled at me.

I flinched. I've never seen him so mad.

"Stop yelling at him." Ryan defended. He stood up and began to put on his clothes.

"Me? Yelling at him? Oh, don't worry, I'm not yelling at him. Not yet. I'm waiting for him to explain himself. To explain why he was naked, having sex with you. MY BROTHER." Jason screamed.

I could see tears forming in his eyes.

"Jason...please." I begged. I wrapped my body with the blanket and got up.

"I'm so sorry." I apologized.

"Don't say anything. Just shut the fck up and explain yourself." Jason spat.

"We...uh. We were not having sex. I was cold and he was giving me his shirt." I lied.

"Bullshit. Do you really expect me to believe that?" Jason yelled again.

"We were having sex." Ryan cut in.

The he moved closer to his brother.

"I love Liam. And I asked him out. He said yes and we decided to be together. We are dating. Get over yourself." He growled.

"Dating?" Jason laughed. "You are dating Liam. Oh please, Ryan. You've never dated anyone. I know you. You are the biggest playboy in the entire world. You don't date, you just break the person's heart." He said to him.

Jason turned to me and spoke. "And Liam, you are dating my brother. You are sleeping with him. That's disgusting."

"Hey. Don't talk to him like that. It's none of your business." Ryan scolded.

"He's my best friend. he is supposed to be on my side. You are the worst thing that could ever happen to him." Jason argued.

"What the hell is wrong with you? What are you so angry about? Our relationship has nothing to do with you." Ryan snapped.

"Don't say that. This relationship has everything to do with me. You are my brother. And Liam is my best friend. You two are not supposed to be together. You are toxic."

"Toxic? What do you mean? We are two adults dating. We can do whatever the hell we want." Ryan said.

"Yes. You are adults. Which means, you are capable of making your own decisions. But Liam ,you are smarter than that. You deserve better. I'm not going to let you waste your life with someone who will eventually hurt you." Jason said to me.

"That's not going to happen." Ryan said.

"Ryan, just stop. All you do is sleep around and break people's hearts and guess who they come crying to, guess who make excuses for you, guess who comforts them? Me. I'm the one that picks up the pieces. That is not happening again. I won't allow it. Liam, please stop this nonsense. Walk away now. Leave him. It's the best thing for everyone." Jason pleaded.

"Jason. Stop. Stop talking." Ryan demanded.

"No. Liam deserves to know the truth. About what kind of person you are. he doesn't need a playboy who is going to break his heart and leave him especially not for a first dating experience" he yelled.

"All you're good at is sleeping with people and getting arrested. Who bailed you out when you got arrested last week? Huh? Who took the time and effort to bail you out of jail? Me. And guess who is the one paying the fine. Me. It's always me. And what do I get? Nothing. Nothing. I'm sick and tired of picking up after you. You are not ruining another life. Liam deserves better." Jason continued.

Then he turned to me. His eyes were boring into mine and his lips were pursed.

"You know, the first time we met, when first became roommates. Do you remember what you said? You said that you hated guys who just used guys for sex. You said that you were looking for a guy who would love and cherish you. Someone who would be committed. Do you remember?" he asked me.

I nodded and bit my lip.

"You promised me that you were done with playboys and you were going to focus on your education and become successful. You said that you weren't going to let any boy ruin your future. Remember?" He asked again.

"Yes, I remember. But..." I tried to speak but Jason cut me off.

"But nothing. You have changed. You've changed so much. Look at you now. Sleeping with a playboy." He said.

Then he took a step closer and spoke softly. "Liam, you are smarter than this. I thought you were smarter. This is a bad idea. You are not good for each other."

"Don't say that. We are perfect for each other. I love Liam I will never hurt him. You are the one who's ruining everything. I love him and he loves me." Ryan growled.

He grabbed my hand and held it.

Jason looked at our joined hands and shook his head.

"Really? Is that true? Do you really love him, Liam?" he asked me.

"Y..Yes. I love him. I'm in love with Ryan." I replied nervously.

"Wow. Okay. Whatever. You've lost your mind. You are clearly under his spell."

Jason sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"How long?" Jason asked, tapping her feet.

He stared at me and asked again. "How long has this been going on, Liam? How long have you and Ryan been hiding this from me?"

"It's not what you think, Jason. I'm sorry." I muttered.

"Sorry? Why are you apologizing? That's not an answer, 1 week, 2 days that's an answer. Answer the fucking question." Jason yelled.

I looked at Ryan and back at Jason.

I didn't know how to answer his question.

"Tell him , Liam. Tell him how we've been seeing each other since the party. How I've been falling in love with you and how you've fallen for me too." Ryan said.

"The party?" Jason gasped.

He blinked several times and furrowed his brows.

"You saw him at the party? I knew it. I fcking knew it."

He bit, clenched his jaw and laughed.

"So....You lied to me, Liam I asked you if you saw Ryan at the party and you told me No. You liar. Is he the guy you kissed at the party? Is that why you didn't want to tell me the name of the guy? Because it was him. It was my brother. The playboy." He spat.

I nodded. Tears welled up in my eyes. I wanted to cry. I hated lying to him. I hated seeing him so angry. Jason was my best friend. He was my only friend. I had no other friend. I needed him. I loved him and I didn't want him to hate me. I didn't want him to be angry.

"How long, Liam? When were you going to tell me that you were fucking my brother? How long were you going to hide it from me? Or were you never going to tell me? Were you planning on sneaking behind my back forever?" Jason's voice cracked and his eyes filled with tears.

"Jason...pleaseee...let me explain...." I cried. I couldn't hold the tears anymore.

"Please, let me explain. We weren't trying to hurt you. We didn't plan on getting together. It just happened. Please. We're sorry." Ryan pleaded.

"I can't believe you lied to me. You kept it a secret from me." Jason whispered.

"What happened to Brandon? Huh? Weren't you on a date with him? How did you end up here?" He asked.

"Brandon...He..." I tried to speak but Ryan interrupted me.

"She left Brandon because he's Cole friend and he found out that Cole was cheating on you." Ryan blurted.

Jason's eyes grew wide and his mouth hung open.

"W-What?" Jason stammered.

"Cole is cheating on you, Jason." I said to him. I stood up and moved closer to him.

"I saw Cole at the movie cinema and he was with another girl. He was kissing her. Her name is Renee. I'm so sorry." I said.

I tried to put my hand on his shoulder, but he pushed me away.

"What did you say? Cole is cheating on me?" he asked.

"I'm sorry, Jason. He is. He has been. And I don't think he's going to stop. I'm so sorry." I sobbed.

I reached out to him again but he stepped back.

"Don't touch me. Don't you dare touch me." he shouted.

" Cole is cheating on me?" he asked frantically.

"Y..Yes." He is. I stammered.

He laughed and shook his head.

"No, no, no. You are lying. Cole loves me. He would never cheat on me."

"Jason, he is not lying. I saw them too. At the movie theatre. I even beat the hell out of him." Ryan said.

Then he folded his arms and furrowed his brows.

"Instead of worrying about our relationship, why don't you worry about yours?" He asked.

Jason scoffed and glared at Ryan.

"Are you fcking kidding me? Are you seriously saying that to me right now? What about our relationship? What about my feelings? You've ruined my friendship. My best friend lied to me. Liam. You. LIED. To. ME." Jason yelled.

Then he shook his head and raised his hand up.

"You know what. I'm done. Liam, you can have Ryan. I wish you both nothing but happiness." He said.

"But from now on, you are no longer my friend. I don't want to see or talk to either one of you." he spoke.

he pointed at me and continued.

"I hate you. And I hope he breaks your heart. Because you deserve it. And I won't be there to console you when that happens. I promise you." he yelled.

Then he looked at his brother.

"As for you, Ryan, stay away from me. Don't call me, don't text me, don't try to talk to me. I hope you're happy. You have ruined everything."

With that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Jason." I screamed.

I ran towards him and grabbed his arm.

"Stop. Don't go, Jason. Let's talk. You are my best friend. My only friend. We can work things out. Please." I begged.

Jason pulled his arm back and shoved me away.

"No. Leave me alone. There is nothing left to talk about. I can't believe you lied to me. My own best friend. And now you are with Ryan. That is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. Don't talk to me again and also leave the room. You're no longer my roommate and friend. I hate you." he spat.

Then he stormed off and slammed the door. I covered my face with my hands and began to cry.

Why was this happening? I just lost my best friend. My only friend.

Jason hates me.
