Chapter 49 Brother’s Fight
“Yes, Collins, I am waiting to hear that story of yours, now if you do not mind to let me know, can you tell me what the hell happened to you last night?” Xavier inquired staring at his baby brother as his baby brother as well. It is quite uneasy to even think about these things, but then, he just want to make things clear for him, and to file a case to the police over the people that caused his brother so much pain, at leastt, then he can say that justice has prevaililed.
Collins on his part did not stare at Xavier’s way, in fact, right now, his intention was to finish his meal so that he can do something better with it, the man is that he truly doesn’t want to get entangled with all these affairs and all the like.
“Please, bro, is this discussion necessary? can’t we just brush it aside and talk about something else, I mean, I’m in pains already, we should just be grateful and move on with life already, at least, that is the only important thing right now, and we kind of deserve it too,” Collins spat out.
The manner in which Xavier glared at him, Collins knew there was fire on the mountain, his brother usuallly gets mad at him, but then, apart from that, that are fine with it and everything goes on well with them, if they aren’t arguing, but that is not the case right now.
“Collins, I do not know if you are hidijg anything, but if that is the case, you should know I am not finding it funny at all. Just tell me whatever it is I want to know, if you are the cause of your predicament, then fine, but if not, you should better talk about what the matter is right now, an investigation team can be set out, and whoever has done this to you will be caught, arrested and detained,” Xavier spat out.
He was being so damn serious, the look on his eyes was like one that he has never felt before, Xavier kept that stern look on his face, he clearly did not want to know what is going on no, and in fact, keeping it close to an eye look is now pretty important right now.
“I do not know who did this to me,” Collins said calmly. His eyes were on the food and he played with the rice on his plate slowly losing his appetite.
A wry laughter came from Xavier’s side, he did not know if he should actually laugh or cry but then, the look on his eyes said it all, he just truly wanted to go towards his friend’s side and punch him across the face, but then, that will be a really numb thing to do. They are in the hospital, they have many things going on now and an audience that might rise up. For Xavier, it will wreck the little reputation he is trying to build, thus, this idea is a no from him, like seriously, it is. Heaving a gentle sigh, the young man practically had nothing to do right now, the frustration on his face was evident, and he just wanted to build himself out of something good.
“What do you mean by you do not know who did that to you, Collins? I mean it literally makes no sense, you know? if I were you, I will better talk,” Xavier spat out threatening him.
Heaving a sigh, Collins was caught between, and the only thing left now was to talk, if that is the case, then, he was sure to talk everything out right now. On a second thought, the ton man thought it wise to spill his heart content out to his brother, and that is important.
“It’s alright, Xavier, let me tell you the entire truth. I almost hit a lady last night when I was on my way home, and it didn’t happen, but then, I got acquainted to her, and before leaving, I tried kissing her, and the next thing I know is that I am on the floor and my head hurt’s so badly. Not only did the man use a bat on my head, but he hit me all over my body till I lost consciousness, unfortunately, I did not see his face and I heard him pulling the lady away, that is all I can remember,” he concluded.
For A very long moment, the young man could not believe that Collins had said these things, but then, he has to believe him, Collins barely lies, and with issues like this that can almost take his life away, he can’t even dare joke with them, if not he will have Xavier to deal with, and that is just the small truth about it.
“You wanted to kiss a lady you just met? wow! that was extreme buddy, and I think you’ve gotten what you deserve then, I mean, what if she was someone’s daughter, or wife, or mother, then, you just got yourself into trouble, at least now, you should be grateful you did not get yourself into trouble, that would have being double trouble for me,” Xavier spat out disdainfully.
He was actually serious with what he said, and as he glared at his kid brother, he just heaved a sigh that seemed to be clutched in his throat.
At this moment, Collins got furious, he truly wanted to get his anger under control, but then it slowly got the best out of him, which is humiliating, he can barely think about all these things, but then, what more can he even do right now? nothing at all, the more he stared at her, the more he had rhe tendencies to just beat the hell out of him, which will be disastrous, especially when he doesn’t want such a fate for himself.
Collins slightly lifted his head from his meal and he faced Xavier’s face, he now got totally mad at him, the pain from it was one in a kind and as he looked at his face, he definitely wanted to hit him pretty hard as well, but then, aside, he rested his senior brother a lot not to get mad at him.
“You know what, Xavier, I think I will leave my meal at this point, I am really not hungry anymore, and if you do not mind, I am glad you brought this for us, you can leave now,” Collins spat out trying his best to suppress his raging anger.
Collins hated the fact that Xavier did not even standby his side when if it was for a second, like seriously, his bluntness was just getting the best out of it, he hated it so much, and if there is a way that he can even give up on life and these things, he will clearly do so without a second thought.
“Wow! Collins, I am your senior man, you can’t just halt the discussion on my face, and we are going to talk about this till I have a satisfying reply about this issue, have I made myself clear?” he shot out.
Xavier did not want to lose his sanity, it was so just against the rules but then, Collins, was of no help to him, he didn’t even try to make issues better, his plan was just to bring them to an undefying conclusion.
“Let me get a drink man,” Collins said turning to stare at Michael.
He was caught between their arguments, as if that is not enough, he looked so confused, more than the word suggest, and he doubts if anything can even go on correctly just now.
“Sure,” Mike said calmly as he reached out to the bag where the meals were, and brought out a can of soda. Opening it, he handed it to his friend as he took a sip out of him.
Collins complaint came immediately.
“What the hell is this? soda? yuck! search the back and give me anything stronger and better than this,” he instructed, and instantly, Xavier objected what he just said.
“Do not make a move, Mike, in fact, let Collins drink what he has in his hands, or he should just stay like that. Give the ungrateful young man a bottle of water t content himself with it,” Xavier spat out in a thin voice.
At once, Collins anger snapped from his mind, he truly wanted to avoid his brother’s drama, but then, he has succeeded in having the best out of it, which is truly horrible, he can barely even think about it, especially as he hates it that much.
“You know what, Xavier? you can as well just go to hell, leave me alone, I even regret the fact why I begged you to come here in their first place, by the way, my doctor said I need rest, so I might just use this opportunity to sleep,” Collins spat out.
This was the peak of his stupidity, he felt like talking to his brother in that manner, he has just done the weirdest things on earth, but then, what can he do? nothing, absolutely nothing at all.
As if that was not enough, Collins smashed the can drink that was in his hands against the wall as he really got mad at his brother. That was an inevitable act. Even though Collins had this thing in his mind, he could barely even come to a reasonable conclusion, in fact, he thought it wise that what he needs now is to rest, thus, he just want to avoid his brother as fast as possible.
This is not the first time that these two individuals have to fight in this way, in fact, it is just so awkward that things aren’t really going on the way it has being planned, but then, that, that is a small issue, it can’t really be bad, and he knows about it as well.
Staring at Collins as he turned around facing the wall, it was kind of difficult, to even know what is happening, and that is the worries about it, but then, what more can she do? nothing, absolutely nothing at all. In anger, Xavier walked out of the room, leaving collins alone, this is just an act that he couldn’t quite explain, most at times, he doesn’t have so much complications with his brother, they are on good terms, and anyone that sees them, will be jealous at once, but, that is then, right now, it is even difficult to explain those things, especially how they behave towards one another.
That apart, Xavier did not border on asking why Collins was in such a mood, maybe he is the cause, and truly, he knows that he is the cause, but then, whatever the reason is, he doesn’t quite think about this thing as anything now, his mind was even blown out of space. He was leaving when he head Mike’s voice, calling his attention.
“Mr. Xavier, please wait,” he called out as he rushed towards his side.
Xavier wore a cool air around the young man, they were acquainted and filiar towards one another, thus, Michael felt more than secured talking to him.
“Yes, Michael, is there any problems?” he inquired raising his brows to stare at him.
This is the protection the young man has in his mind, that is awesome, and the best way to think about this shit all the same.
“I am here to apologize about the manner in which Collins spoke to you earlier, I truly apologize about it. Please, I beg of you Mr. Xavier, find a place in your heart to forgive him,” Michael spat out in his little manly voice.
It showed a lot of respect he had tor Xavier, and not only, that, for the fact that he trusted his friend so much to stand for him. It took a long minute before the young man could actually decide on what he wants.
“I bear no grudges against him,” he said gently before walking away.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
