Chapter 88
"Its for you.."
I heard Brock as I set Beast down and he ran down the hallway .
He handed me his phone and carried my luggage down the hall while I took a seat in the foyer.
"Hello?"
"Kenz..you need to give Seth a call he is looking for you like crazy!"
Paige screamed into my ear.
"He just saw me a couple of days ago I think.."
I wasn't exactly sure what the day was with us having flown to Brock's place.
"I know but by the way he sounded its pretty important, although he wouldn't tell me. His such an ass"
"I know.. " I laughed briefly.
"Fine, I'll give him a call..bye..."
"B..."she began but I cut her off as I realized something.
"Wait! How did you know I was with Brock?"
"Just took a chance..er I have to go..bye!"
I heard the phone go off.
I figured she had known about Brock's little surprise on my birthday. Which actually didn't surprise me as she seemed to be scheming a lot with him lately, not that I minded at all.
It just showed how much Brock has grown over the past few months, from just giving my friends brief nods to actually having brief conversations with them and not glaring at Kevin as I don't think Brock felt he was a threat anymore.
I punched in Seth's number as I stopped zoning out but before I got to hit the call button I heard Brock calling me into the lounge.
I stood up and walked down the hallway.
"Yes..."
I didn't finish as I saw two people seated on the couch and my eyes widened.
I felt a hand on my back and realized it was Brock moving me towards them and I prayed they weren't who I thought they were.
They were smiling brightly at me but my surprise couldn't leave my face.
"Er Kenz... these are my parents Stephanie and Richard .. Mom , Dad ... This is MCKENZIE"
I tried to not turn to glare at their son and smiled a bit as they stood up, even though I could sense he was nervous due to his voice being a bit unsure.
"Its so wonderful to finally meet you dear"
His mother pulled me into a hug and his father did as well.
I didn't even know they knew about me as the closest I had come to them was when Brock took me to their home but I'm pretty sure they knew nothing about that.
"Brock has been visiting us more in the past few months than before and he won't stop talking about you.."
"DAD..." He warned but unlike every other man his father was not phased.
"Take that glare somewhere else... clearly you didn't let her know we would be here when you guys got back."
"No he didn't.. but its fine... Its lovely to meet both of you.."
I finally spoke and smiled .
"Don't worry we won't be long we've been here since this morning but we just had to meet you especially now that.."
"Okay mom .. dad..."
They exchanged glances.
"Oh yes we better get going... we'll just take this little guy with us"
I was confused as to why they were taking Beast, but Brock answered my unasked question.
"He needs to be trained.. clearly... and we don't have the time so I figured he could stay at my parents farm until next week."
"Oh..."
I smiled and pet his head as he leaned into my hand. He really did need training and I figured since Rover was sort of obedient they would do a good job.
I doubted Brock had the patience to do it anyway.
"Son.. call us after..." his mother began but he cut her off as he quickly walked them out and I felt like they knew something I didn't.
I decided to give Seth a call before Brock returned from seeing his parents off.
"Hey Se..."
I was cut off as his voice boomed in my ear.
"What the hell was your boyfriend thinking?"
"What?"
I saw Brock walk in but I focused on the carpet.
"Mom and dad fucking know about Eric,he fucking told them!"
"No why would..."
I glanced up and saw him standing against the wall watching me with a frown as he could probably hear Seth shouting but couldn't hear exactly what the cause of it was.
"He went to their place on Monday.. you are so fucking lucky you don't have a phone.I told you he was fucking trouble. Now mom and dad are fucking breathing down my.."
"You are not making sense what exactly did they say?"
I was already overwhelmed by briefly meeting Brock's parents and now this information caused my anger to slowly surface.
I tried to keep my voice calm as I didn't want Brock to know what I heard from my very pissed Brother.
"They said he was shouting at them and basically telling them that they weren't good parents.."
"Which they aren't..."
I wasn't exactly defending Brock as I didn't know what possessed him to do what he did but that was true.
I could hear Seth getting annoyed with how calm and unphased I was , if he only knew that the man he was going off about was staring intently at me waiting .
"Kenz..this man is out of control you cant.."
"Okay Seth,just ignore their calls..Bye.."
I sighed and set the phone down next to me as I placed my head in my hands as I leaned over.
"I'm sorry about springing my parents on you I was hoping they would be gone by..."
I heard his sincere voice and I briefly forgot about my brother.
"Its fine they were lovely..."
I sighed as I didn't want to argue with him but the fact that he did what he did...
"When did you see my parents?" I asked as I looked up at him and I saw his surprised face.
"I..." He ran his hand over his face.
"I what Brock?" I stood up as I couldn't believe he would go to them and tell them.
While I had been calm with my brother due to the fact that I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing I was officially mad at Brock and Brock staring at me not knowing what was going on. I was not calm anymore..
"Can we just go upstairs and then we can..." he gestured for the kitchen but I didn't bother glancing up as I had kept this secret for so long and now the last people on earth I wanted to find out about it did.
"I don't want to fucking go upstairs Brock!"
I could see his anger surfacing on his face due to me screaming at him.
"McKenzie please..." he said slowly but I couldn't control it, I had trusted him.
"What on earth went on in your mind that while I was at home missing you.. you were in Florida telling my parents THAT" I wavered .
"It was a fucking accident! What the hell does it matter. You don't care about what they..."
"That's not the point. I never wanted them to know.. they didn't deserve to know what I went through.."
I sighed as my eyes became filled with tears which I hated, but I hated that they now knew when they didn't care about me.
And now they knew and the man who I trusted with everything told them.
"Why the hell would you do this to me!"
"It was an accident.. don't fucking cry please just come with me up..."
"NO! I trusted you and you just fucking told them like it was nothing !.. now my brother has to deal with them and.."
"Do you wanna fucking know why?"
His voice boomed but I didn't flinch as I knew it was coming, I could see it in his eyes.
"Why Brock? Tell me why you betrayed my trust by telling my .."
"I went there ... I went there because regardless of your relationship with them . I thought because of the way Eric did it, this time it should be done properly...You are their only daughter and.."
"What has that got to..."
I wiped my tears as I didn't get what he was referring to.
"I went to ask them for your hand in marriage Kenz that's what I betrayed you for..."
" Wha.." I didn't know how to continue not that he let me as he was pissed.
"I went and they fucking refused me... said I wasn't what they wanted for you.. They wanted him for you.. Eric.. and I don't know I just fucking lost it and told them.. but Of course they didn't tell you that because OF COURSE I would fly all the way there to break your fucking trust."
"Br..." I didn't know what I had done, he was fuming.
"I had it all planned, that's why my parents were here they set everything up McKenzie.. but it doesn't matter now because you always doubt me. Your brother says one thing and immediately everything has to be true.. You say you love that I'm different with you but even though I am you still expect the worst of me just like everyone else... " he reached into his pocket and pulled out a black box and threw it onto the couch behind me.
"I was going to fucking propose to you !"
He shook his head and grabbed his jacket off the chair and left the room and I heard the front door slamming echo in the house.
Brock was going to propose to me and I ruined everything. Was I even ready?
I reached over for his phone wanting to call Paige but I finally looked at his wallpaper.
It was me..
It was taken yesterday , he told me he was taking a picture of Beast as I caught him with his phone as I played with him.
What was written on it made me smile even after what happened and made me regret going off on him.
'My Life'
I didn't know where he was and I hated it.
I decided to head upstairs as I took the black box.
I realized then why he wanted me to come with him. There were unlit candles on the table as red rose petals were scattered everywhere.
I saw a framed picture on the wall.
The only one in the entire kitchen and it held three Polaroid images that we had taken on the boat even though I only recalled posing for one.
The first one was him smiling brightly for the picture as I looked at him and I remembered I had been contemplating the kiss on his cheek.
The next one was of us kissing as he had turned to meet my lips and the last one was me blushing and looking down as he smirked and stared at me with that look in his eyes.
I couldn't stop staring at it but something on the counter caught my attention and I saw a letter but it was in Paige's handwriting which confused me...
A/N:
OKAY....
A lot happened...
I don't want to comment too much as that chapter was a lot to deal with but Paige's handwriting on a letter in Brock's house ...
Mmmm...
I know its a complete turn around from previous chapter :/
