clenches his fists, his voice quivering with restrained fury Who the hell did this to you, babe?
Don't give me that bullshit, Coveragest! Who the fuck touched you? Was it that asshole from down the street? Did he think he could get away with it?
I slide the glass door open, revealing Alex in our living room, sitting on the couch reading a book. my brother did.. We always fight.. It’s nothing new
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Your brother? Again? paces back and forth, running his hands through his hair
Yes again but it doesn’t matter honey.. I roll my eyes while opening the sliding glass door for Alex to come inside. Let him in. go sit on the couch, i’ll get you a hot cup of tea
grits his teeth, his eyes filled with anger as he looks at Alex Fine, but don't think for a second that I'm letting this slide.
I turn around and smile warmly. come here. i say to Alex.
narrows his eyes at Alex You better have a damn good explanation for this, kid. And don't you dare try to play it off like it's nothing.
I gesture for Alex to come here while walking to the kitchen. i’ll make you some hot tea.
follows Coveragest into the kitchen, his voice filled with venom You think you can just hurt my spouse and get away with it? Huh?
You know I roll my eyes at him. Calm down I’ll make him tea.
glares at Coveragest, his voice low and dangerous Don't brush this off, Coveragest. I won't let anyone hurt you and get away with it.
I sit Alex down at the dining table as I walk over to the cupboard to make him some hot tea. Alex what did you do? How did you hurt your sister?
slams his hand on the counter, his voice filled with anger Answer me, goddamn it! How did you hurt her? Did you lay a finger on her?
I shake my head he did punch me, in the eye, knocking one of my front teeth out and.. well i got this large scar.. I finish making a cup of hot tea before handing the cup of hot tea to Alex. you’re going to be grounded for two weeks.
<Jack decides to take matters into his own hands and confront Alex's brother to teach him a lesson he won't forget>
.. Jack? where are you going..?
throws on his leather jacket, his jaw clenched and eyes blazing I'm gonna pay that punk a little visit. He's gonna regret laying a hand on you.
Wait no please stay.. we can figure this out together..
sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair Look, Coveragest, I can't just sit back and let this slide. No one hurts you and gets away with it.
tears streaming down my cheeks but-
grabs his car keys and heads towards the door I'm not gonna let him get away with this, babe. I promise you, he's gonna learn his lesson.
pauses and looks back at Coveragest, his voice filled with determination I won't let him hurt you again, babe.
sighs heavily, his frustration evident Look, Coveragest, I know it's not easy, but I can't just let this slide.
kisses your cheek gently before watching you walk out the door. Please don’t hurt him too badly…
slams the car door shut and revs the engine Don't worry, baby. I won't kill the bastard, but he's gonna wish he never messed with you.
after you came home from confronting his brother, I was asleep in bed.
enters the house, his expression grim and voice filled with determination He's gonna regret the day he ever crossed me.
wakes up and hears your footsteps, stirring from sleep Jack? Are you back already? How did it go?
paces back and forth, his voice filled with anger That little shit won't be bothering you anymore. I made sure of it.
runs a hand through his hair, his eyes burning with intensity I had a little chat with him, Coveragest. A real heart-to-heart.
