Unwrapping The Throne

CHAPTER EIGHT

'Honey, you called the driver today, what's up?' was what Amber's father was going to say to her on her arrival but the way she jumped out the car and stormed up the stairs alarmed him and he highlighted right after her steps, without knocking on her door, he wasn't surprised when he found her bawling her eyes out on her bed.

'Honey!, talk to me what is it darling?' asked Francis Crooks her father and with that, she jumped into his arms while still crying her eyes out.

Hearing the commotion in her daughter's room, Valentina couldn't help but enter her room and seeing her daughter wail like that in her 19 years of existence put her mood down, speed dialing Dylan and telling him something was wrong, She entered into her room and whispered a 'what's wrong' to her husband who shakes his head signaling a no idea while still holding their daughter in his arms. With no idea what went wrong, comforting her with their presence, it came as a relief to the baby twin when in her moment of weakness, heard her twin brothers car engine raving in the driveway.

Their parents weren't surprised when Dylan moved swiftly round the room and swept her off their father's hands and with that, she started spilling all that had gone wrong at Janice's. With the intent of questioning her after the moment about who Javice really was, her parents listened in on what she had to say while her twin bawled his fists ready to break someone's face all over again.

'Uncle Dave really ruined my life, I can't even sit alone with a guy without being afraid of them, I'm tired of living like this D, I really am' was all she said and this brought tears to the eyes of both her mother and brother.

'It's okay baby girl, it's okay' was all every one kept telling her, after excusing himself from the room, her father put a call through to the county jail and told them to increase inmate's attack on Dave Crooks, the bastard has to suffer his crimes and as much as his daughter wasn't happy and Dave's action was biting her in the ass, he would make sure he really suffered hell alive.

'Do you need me to burst your boyfriend's ass?' Dylan asked and with this she smiled 'No, I did wrong by him by being all skittish and I guess he already was in a foul mood and I didn't make it any better by doing s**t, I just sat there like a fool' she responded.

'You're not a fool my dear and tell me about this man that's got my baby cheeks bawling like a raccoon' their mother jokingly said. Laughing his head off at the comparison between the state of her present facial expression and looks, Dylan was shut up by a smack upside his head from Amber who mumbled a 'oh shut up monkey'.

After catching up on who Javice really was with both her parents, Dylan decided if her sister was going to be this hurt over a guy, he better talk to him and give him some background information on his sister while giving her the opportunity of telling the story herself when she was ready and maybe that would make things better between them.

With about 4 missed calls and a voice message from Amber apologizing about the day before, Jave could not bring himself to send a message back because he was ashamed of himself and his actions thus, it came as a surprise to him when after class, Dylan was waiting by his bike to have a chat with him. I hope he throws a mean punch on behalf of his sister, he imagined Alvin would say and with a tiny smile at this thought, Javice approached Dylan.

***********************************************************

'Hey man, you good?' Dylan asked

'Oh, yes I am, everything okay?' Jave responded. 'Yes man, it's just me and you need to have a chat about Amber my sister' he replied him. 'Okay, is she alright?' Jave said. Staring into his grey eyes, Dylan decided he liked how cool he seemed.

'Thing is, Amber is really shy and skittish around guys and I'm telling you this cause she came home yesterday reminiscing her dark past and being all sad and I figured it must have ticked you off, her behavior I mean, if you really want to be friends with her, you should take things easy on her, in due time she'll open up' Dylan explained.

'Bro, I'm sorry about yesterday, I was really having a bad day and since she said she was coming we could talk and take my mind off things but instead she was all jumpy and I snapped, I could have handled it better, so I apologize for any problem this might have caused her and your family even, I was a d**k quite alright' Jave apologized.

'It's fine bro, just please make sure you don't tell her I came here to see you about this. She'll really flip out' Dylan said, 'okay, and I'm sorry once again bro, thank you for the heads up'. Giving each other a bro hug, they departed with Javice feeling shittier about his actions. Might as well just apologize to her as soon as possible he thought while driving out the school premises on his ever loud motorbike.

'Babygirl, you good?' Dylan asked his sister after a long day, 'Yes I am just trying to get this shitty assignment done, you know what, I really thought I was good with arts but this is' bursting my behind she replied and complained.

'You got this, I don't think nobody could best your ass at arts, just be cool, you'll get a hang of it' he said followed by a 'You talked to Jave yet?' He further probed

'He didn't take my calls and also didn't even listen to my voice note, so no' she said 'did you see him in class today' she asked

'Yes, he was okay, looked his same self, I'm sure he'll come around sis, okay?'

Yeah right she responded sounding like she was over the matter and went back to assignment. Amber thought, if he wasn't the slightest bit affected with what had happened and went on with his day like nothing happened, she was going to follow in his steps, one thing was for sure though, she didn't like how he presently makes her feel, she wished she could just forget him and not even think about him but with her train of thoughts already on him, she abandoned her assignment and moved to her bed, a couple episodes of twilight will do wonders.

**********************************************************

'J bro, you're going too hard on that bag, you good mate?', one of Javice's gym members asked him and with a grunt and nod of his head he went right back to the punching bag all the while picturing his parents face on the bag. With his thoughts spiraling into how he could end up in jail if he really channeled the anger he was feeling on his parents, he shaked his head as if to send his thoughts packing and hugged the fast moving punching bag to himself to control his breath. Done for the day, he was walking out the gym when his new coach signaled him for some discussion.

'Jave, I see you on the bag, working out the steam good?' Coach Brandon asks, 'Yes coach, what's up?' 'The tournament is around the corner, just checking in on you, making sure everything good and some' the coach said.

'Everything is good coach but I've been here some months and I'm heading home for a bit this weekend' Javice said. With a pat on his back, the coach dismissed him and told him to be prepared for his tournament in a month and a half.

Please remember to follow.

Lets be friends too.
