Chapter 12
Brian sat in the waiting room of the hospital his face buried in his hands, mentally yelling at himself. He couldn't believe that he had allowed Mat's father to get close enough to Mat to hurt him. God, how could Mat ever forgive him? He had promised that would never be hurt again and immediately broke that promise.
"Brian!" Brian's head jerked up as he heard someone call his name. It was Jenna. She, Kevin and the kids were running across the waiting room to him.
"How is he?" Jenna gasped when she stood in front of him. Brian shook his head.
"Fine, except for his cheekbone. They are checking on it now.." Brian said then looked up at her, and once again felt the tears he had been trying to keep at bay spill over, "Jenna...God I am so sorry." He managed to choke out.
Jenna stared at this man who was now a part of her family, "Kev can you watch Alex and Cynthia for me? Brian and I need to talk." Jenna murmured to Kevin.
Kevin nodded leading the two children over to the play area. They quietly began playing as Jenna grabbed Brian's hand and pulled him onto an elevator.
Once Jenna had Brian on the elevator she punched the stop button. The emergency lights came on, but Jenna ignored them. She turned to glare at Brian.
"Alright Brian, I know that..." Jenna started, but Brian interrupted.
"Jenna I know that you must hate me for allowing Mat to be hurt and you have every right to hit me or do whatever you want." Brian said softly hanging his head.
Jenna stared at him for a moment then shook her head and said angrily, " I cannot believe that you said that! Brian you didn't do anything wrong!" she cried in exasperation, "Despite your many talents, mind-reading or seeing the future aren't among them! This is NOT your fault."
Brian's head jerked up, "How can you say that? I allowed that bastard to hurt the one person that I love more than anything. How can you say I did nothing wrong? That it isn't my fault?" he asked, choking back his tears.
Jenna gently lifted his face so that he was looking at her. "Because you didn't. We can't anticipate everything that is going to happen Brian. If I could I would have been in that room with you two, making sure that asshole was ten feet away from Mat at all times! But I can not see into the future as much as I would like to be able to. So if this is your fault, it must also be mine....and Kevin's....and JC's...and Nick's and everyone else one this fucking earth!" Jenna said angrily looking away from Brian's startled eyes.
Brian stared at Jenna, finally realizing that others were probably berating themselves as much as Brian was. JC and Jenna for sure, Kevin, Nick and probably even Alex and Cynthia were blaming themselves. And none of them were blaming the right person. "Damn. We are all fools."Brian said softly making Jenna's head come up. "We're all blaming ourselves when the person who deserves the blame isn't getting any!"
He laughed for a minute then pressed the button for the emergency room floor again, making the elevator lurch forward again.
"Thank you Jenna. For helping me to see how stupid I was being." Brian said smiling at her.
Jenna smiled back weakly, "Anytime Brian. What are sister's for?"
Brian stared at Jenna, "Sister's?" he asked hopefully.
Jenna laughed, "Well of course Brian! You can't be in love with my brother without being adopted into the family. Wait'll you meet my mom. You'll love her almost as much as she'll love you." Jenna smiled, "Now let's go see how my other brother is doing. And speaking of my mom..." Jenna grimaced as the elevator doors opened, "I'm going to have to call her and tell her about this. She is not going to be happy."
Jenna shoved about $20.00 worth of quarters into the pay phone the hospital supplied and waited for her mom to pick up on the other end.
"Hello?"
Jenna sighed, this wasn't going to be pretty. "Hi mom." she said into the phone, trying to sound upbeat.
"Jenna is something wrong?" her mom asked, hundreds of miles away.
Jenna sighed again, she never could fool her mom, "Yeah Mom, you could say that something was kinda wrong."
"Well? What is it?" Jenna's mom asked calmly.
"Well, me and Mat kinda went to see Dad today. And well Dad wasn't real pleased to see us." Jenna said.
"What did he do now?" Jenna's mom had a bad feeling about this one.
"Well...he kinda punched Mat, breaking or at least seriously injuring Mat's cheekbone." Jenna said, already wincing.
"What!! Are you sure that is the extent of his injuries? What has gotten into your father?"she asked in shock.
"We are taking Cynthia and Alex away from him, he's treating them horribly, Mom." Jenna knew her mom would understand her reasons.
"Oh Jen...how are they?"
"Not all that good Mom. They've been beaten.." Jenna let her voice trail off. She felt Kevin's hands start to massage her tense shoulders.
"That bad huh? Let me guess...they are going to end up going to the best private school in LA, right?" Jenna's mom sighed, wishing the kids could stay with her, but also knowing that this would be better for them.
"How'd you guess Mom? Yeah, it was Mat's idea. And speaking of Mat...his boyfriend, Brian and my boyfriend Kevin will be coming to Christmas at Grandma's in a couple of months." Jenna said leaning against Kevin.
"Well, that is good. I would like to meet all these boys that you are touring with. Try to bring all of them dear, and not just Kevin and Brian okay?"
"Mom you are aware that that means that there will be like ten extra people at Grandma's right?" Jenna asked smiling.
"What is ten more? We are already having probably about 50 people there."
"Jeez. Grandma's going to have to get a bigger house." Jenna said chuckling.
"She wouldn't think of it! She loves knowing that everyone is there and as she says, with that big of a house how can you tell? Besides if she had a bigger house how would we all run into each other and fight over chairs?" Jenna's mom asked laughing.
Jenna joined her mother in laughter, "Look Mom I gotta go but as soon as Mat is all patched up I will make sure that he calls you."
"Sure sweety, look on the bright side, his cheekbone probably isn't totally broken. That would take an awful lot. It is probably just badly bruised." Jenna's mom comforted her daughter.
"Well you are the nurse mom. I'll talk to you later. Yeah, I'll tell him, I love you.....Bye." After Jenna hung up the phone Kevin took her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"The doctor said that Mat is going to be just fine and can be released tomorrow, babe." Kevin said, then gently kissed her.
"Oh thank heavens." Jenna murmured, then smiled, "So I guess that we won't delay your concert in Switzerland all that much."
"Nope, not at all actually. Mat is really lucky, the doc said that it was almost broken, but not quite. You wanna go see him?"
"Absolutely." Jenna said, and they walked down the hall to see her brother arm in arm.
Brad walked into the room without knocking and stared down at the man in the bed. "Well, Uncle Jack....you look like shit."
Mat and Jenna's father looked at the boy in his room, "What the hell do you want Brad? You here to finish me off?"
Brad smiled slightly at his uncle, "Oh no...I wanted to congratulate you on beating up Mat, although that's not exactly what I want from him, I am not at all unhappy that he was hurt. He deserves at least that much for managing to get away from me twice now."
Jack looked at Brad with a new calmness in his eyes, "What exactly do you want from Mat, Brad?"
Brad smiled at his new partner, "I want him and Jenna on their knees before me. I want to make them mine. Then I want to sell them to the highest bidder."
An evil light came into Jack's eyes, "Why don't you explain it to me and we'll see if I can help you achieve your dream Brad."
