Chapter 4

“ Yea well he was there that night and he was pretty wasted. He saw Dean and Aleck and went to them. He asked how it felt to share the same woman,who fucks her first or do they take her at the same time?. That was the first time I ever saw Dean and Aleck get so pissed that they lost it”. He said, shaking his head.

“ They both beat the crap out of Tony, Andrew and I had to pull them off. That night they warned everyone,if anyone said anything like that ever again they won't hesitate to beat the shit out of them “.

I just stood there looking at Chris. I had no idea that happened. “ It's okay, don't worry about it, let's head back up”. We grabbed the alcohol and we went back to the others. When we stepped out onto the patio we noticed something was off.

“ What happened?”. I asked cautiously. Mallory looked at me and shook her head. Macy was sitting on the other side. Dean was gone and Aleck was sitting there quietly. “ Alright what happened here?”. Chris asked. Macy stood up and walked off the patio and down the beach.

“ Okay, I think we've all had enough for the night. Let's call it a night. If you guys want to keep drinking, go ahead. I'm going sit here and quietly drink”.

I Sat down on the couch and Mallory sat next to me. We drank quietly, everyone drifted off one by one and left us. “ What happened?”. ,I asked quietly. She came in closer and smiled.

“ After you left. Rea and Macy got into it because of the way she behaved. She told Rea she was probably Jealous of her because she's good looking and successful and that she probably wants Dean also”.

“ Oh my god. I can't understand why Macy is that way”.

“ Well Dean and Aleck Got angry, I wouldn't call that angry more like Royally pissed the fuck off. Macy started off on them saying that they shouldn't be so close to you that you're all adults, that they're always more concerned about you than anyone else. Then she went off on Dean asking him why he never answers her calls or messages . He didn't say anything. He and Aleck stood up to leave, that's when she said it”.

“ Said what?” , I asked

“ She ummm ,she basically accused Dean saying he's probably in love with you that he probably fucked you that's why you left them and that's why he doesn't want anyone else ”. She said

“ Jesus Christ. I swear Mal, nothing like that ever happened “. I said quietly.

“ Dean asked her to repeat what she said and I guess she realised that she crossed the line. Because he yelled at her to shut the fuck up. He never wants to see her again that she's fucking disgusting and stupid to think much less say something like that and he wants nothing to do with her ever again. Aleck told her to never speak to them again “. She said, sitting back on the couch.

“ Where are they ?”. I asked

“ Dean went to the beach and Aleck went inside. Go talk to Dean I've never seen him so angry before”.

I stood up. “ I'll talk to them and try to make Macy see reasoning . If I can't and she keeps behaving this way then we're cutting this trip short “. I said

“ Or we can let her leave. I haven't even told everyone why I really wanted this trip” ,She said hopefully

“ Why did you want this trip?”.

“ I'll tell everyone when we get this sorted out”.

“ Okay. I'll go find Dean “. I said, grabbing a beer and walking down to the beach. I don't understand why Macy was this way.

The house was situated in the middle of the island,there were large trees all around , some were coconut trees , and there were multiple walkways through the trees.It looked man-made. There were stone pathways and there were lights. Every couple feet. I had walked far enough to be away from the house. It was darker on this side and the cold breeze wasn't helping. I continued walking when I spotted someone. I figured it was Macy. Maybe she walked through the trees.

When I got close enough I realised it was Dean. I headed towards him. I sat down next to him and handed him the beer. He took it but didn't say anything. We sat there silently. After a few minutes I felt someone next to me. Aleck sat beside me quietly drinking a beer. He handed one to me and I took it.

“ I stayed away from you guys because of those rumours. Every Time I heard someone say something like that , That shit hurt me because I knew it wasn't true.I won't lie. I cried for days After I stopped replying to your messages and calls I was depressed. I didn't know what to do with myself, I locked myself away at home. I knew when you came back home, I was there staying quiet in my room, everytime you came and asked mom where I was”.

“ It destroyed me to Stay away from you both,but I didn't want Your lives to get ruined. When I got my Job I was so happy and excited,I wanted to tell the two of you. I grabbed my phone and was about to call you and then I remembered I couldn't and that made me cry Even more. I missed you guys these past two years. I moved and I put everything out of my mind. I worked and went home. That's the way it stayed until I met Josh”.

“ Everything with Josh was good but I still missed you. Josh always wanted to meet you guys but I told him we weren't close anymore. When mom died, I was so lost . I wanted you guys there with me but Aunt Pam said you were away for work so I didn't ask or say anything to her. I stayed for a week then left”.

“ Don't let what Macy said get to you. She's always been that way especially towards me”.

“ Did she say things like that to you?”. Dean asked,shit he was getting angry all over again.

“ I won't answer if you're going to get mad”

“ Fine ” ,he said

“ Yes , earlier today she said something along the lines that I've probably dated one of you that's why I ditched you guys. She said for the next two weeks you're her's “.

“ What the fuck is wrong with her?”. Aleck said.

I laid back on the sand and they followed suit, laying down next to me.

“ How do we do this?If we're to be friends again, we're going to continue hearing those rumours “. I said quietly.

Dean leaned up on his elbows and rested his head on his hands and looked at me.

“ What ?” Aleck did the Same as his brother and they just looked at me.

“ Were you really going to get married without telling us ?”. Aleck asked

“ I would have told you “.

“ When? ,on your wedding day or after your honeymoon?”. Dean asked

“ I'm not getting married, you idiots. I was waiting for the right time to tell you. I was going to ask Uncle Matthew to give me away “ ,

“My my my look at the love birds. Say I'm just friends now” , Macy said smirking. I looked behind Aleck and saw feet running towards us.

“ What the ..hell… Macy. You ..said 911”. Chris said, taking deep breaths.

“ For fucks sake Macy” Nella yelled.

“ Look at them , ask them Why they lied?”. Macy said, pointing at us. We still hadn't moved. I looked up and could see Andrew shaking his head .

“ We thought something happened. This is Why you called us out here?. Did you think the day you became friends with us was the day we all became friends?”. Andrew asked.

“ She's such a fucking nuisance. This is normal for them. Sometimes it's me , Andrew and Chris laying like that, sometimes it's Nella or Mallory. Sometimes it's all of us you fucking idiot ” Rea yelled at her.

Dean didn't move,he looked at me with raised eyebrows. He sat up and looked at Macy. “ Do any of you believe there's something going on between me , Aleck and Layla?”.

“ Dude ,No . Come on we've known each other for years ” , Chris said.

“ Na “ ,Rea said. They all said no with the exception of Macy.

“ Tomorrow morning,I want you off my Island. I don't ever want to see you again. I don't have a problem if any of you remain friends with her ,but I want nothing to do with her”. He said standing up.

“ You can't do this Dean. I love you, I've always loved you but you never paid any attention to me or anyone because Layla is always around. What kind of friendship is that?, where you're more interested in Your friend than having a relationship of your own ” , Macy yelled.

“ Get the fuck out of here now before I strangle your ass” , Aleck said.

“ I give up with you Macy. Serves you right for speaking that shit.“ ,Nella said

“ God damnit Macy, you couldn't keep your Damn mouth shut could you?. I wanted everyone here because I'm getting married”, Mallory yelled.

I jumped up immediately. “ Oh my God ”. I grabbed her and hugged her.
