STAR STRUCK

Chapter seven

"You're okay Jason?" Lucas questioned softly, his voice pulled Jason from his train of thoughts, he sighed contemplating between talking or not, he chose the former

" Okay!?, ..... definitely not mean" he shouted, his voice conveying most of his bottled up emotions"that old man is hell bent on driving me crazy, but I'll be damned if I let him" , he wasn't exactly close with his brothers, but he needed someone or something to talk to,.....even if it was a table.

He noticed Nathaniel and Lucas exchanged glance and chuckled softly

"It's not funny guys" he warned, they seemed to understand immediately that he was in no mood for jokes and comported themselves

"You are right, " Lucas began in a remorseful time"it's not funny" Nathaniel nodded in agreement, " is the therapy giving you additional problem or the therapist"

"None, okay, none. I've got no problem with the therapist. It's the old man and Marie, why does she always has to be with me everywhere. I can still here her screams in my head" he gestured with his hands widely, earning laughter from his brothers, he glared at them

"Look at the good side man, you didn't go to jail or rehab. Just three months therapy with Marie as your bodyguard" Nathaniel spoke in between fits of laughter

"Jail is better Nate honestly. I shouldn't have returned home" he meant it with every fiber of his being, coming home was an error he would rectify soon

"Wait Jason, is it that bad. Thought you were having fun nicknaming her"Nathaniel added with mock sympathy

"Hag" Lucas mimicked in a feminine voice and they all laughed again, and this time Jason laughed along

"It's good to have you back bro" Lucas began in a sober tone, he was the youngest and softest of the brothers. All he ever wanted was a united family, and though he never seem to get his wish, Jason was here with him for a while and so was Nate and that was all that mattered for now, he was going to cherish this moment forever

"Yeah, it's good to have you back "Nathaniel concurred, nodding vigorously

"It won't be long till we part, just a month left" Jason muttered, pouring some wine to his glass, he picked it up and sipped slowly, what was this wave of emotion he was feeling; sadness, anger, betrayal and more

"Therapy going well" Lucas probed, staring intently at Jason's face with concern

Jason smiled, staring into space for a while

"Seline Sylvester," he muttered again, "she interest me"he added, a bit audible than the previous

"Wait, did you say a girl interest you"Nathaniel, raised with renewed enthusiasm ,

"Forget it guys. She just intrigue me, that's all" , they were about to respond when Marie walked in, her feet dragging in the ground

"Jason, it's bed time" she announced loudly"submit your phone and go to bed" she added. A sudden surge of anger went through him,

"You've definitely tinted your wits hag"he retored quickly, he picked up the glass of wine and walked slowly towards the stairs, he remembered something and turned to face Marie

"Oh, and that's if you had one"
