He peeks into the room, then steps into it. "You rang?" He smiles at both of them, but quickly the smile fades when he sees the serious look on both of their faces. "What?"
Sitting in her wing backed chair, she simply watches silently.
A lean on the wall next to the intercom, his eyes finally left Evi to settle now on Dirk. "I wanted to talk to you about something, with all three of us here." A push off the wall, a slight glance to Evi but most of his attention now was on Dirk as he took a seat on her bed.
Hazel browns look to Evi then back to Gage with a puzzled look on his face. "'Sup bro? Chris do something?" He pulls the chair from Evi's desk and turns it around, straddles it and leans his arms across the back.
He was not sure how to say it, it was right there on the tip of his tongue but his mouth refused to say it. "You and Evi, what was up with that?" So that did not exactly come out the way he wanted but it was something. He sits back on the bed, but then thinks better of it and stands, arms crossed once again over his bare chest. "You know.." As he looks towards Dirk.
Again, he looks to Evi who simply shrugged at him, then back to Gage. "What was up with what? We didn't do anthing." He would chuckle, but the look on Gage's face was too serious to even consider it. "Except... well you know... "
"Except well you know what?" An eyebrow rose, he needed to actually hear it.
He scratches his head and frowns. "We had sex?" He wasn't quite sure where Gage was heading with this. He was a bit confused, after all, Gage had cut her loose, right?
Ugh gods, he wanted to hear it and there it was. Plain and simple. He closes his eyes. Breathe Gage.. breathe.. "Alright so you had.." Gulp. "Sex, how about why..." He now took to staring at the wall, he could not look at either of them, or they might see how truly upset he is.
He could see it, even tho Gage wasn't looking him straight on. "Why? Well..." He looks pleadingly to Evi and she turns and looks out the window, so he looks back to Gage. "I don't know, we just did. Why the third degree? I feel like I'm in prep school again and being drilled by my dad for coming in too late."
His head snaps back to Dirk. "Did you plan it?" He ignores everything else that comes out of his mouth, all he cares about is what he did with Evi..
"Dude, no!" He stands up and places the chair carefully back to the desk. "Listen bro, what happened happened." He turns to face Gage again. He's no idiot, he knows Gage's temper and he was preparing himself for the worst.
"Then why!" His voices raises, not to the full extent that it could but loud nonetheless. Gage had a temper yes but he just wanted to know the details, call him sick and twisted but he wanted to know every damn detail!
Dirk did not take well to being yelled at. "She's fucking hot and we were drunk and horny! Is that what you wanted to hear?" He begins pacing the room, feeling like a caged animal all of a sudden. "What's your problem with it anyway?"
He shook his head, did he just say that to him.. "You were what?" Like he did not hear.. Brown eyes watch as Dirk paces, was he standing? Cause he was so busy trying to breathe he could not tell anymore. "Why would you do that with her though, a girl I had been with." His voice no longer loud, more of a whisper. He would try, try his best to keep this from getting out of hand.
"C'mon Gage, we were drunk. Besides, I didn't know that once you slept with a person, they were off limits. Guess I should have stayed away from Isabella too." He was pissed off now. Nobody tells him who he can and can't have relations with. "Oh, that's right, I introduced you to her."
He inhaled deeply then blew it out slowly, is that not what the shrink said to do? "It is the code dude, you should know that. We wrote the book!" Both arms fall to his sides.
"Fuck the code, Gage. You're pissed off because you think I purposely stole your toy!" He comes to stand toe to toe. "Guess what, she's not a toy."
His breathing quickens, he was in his face. It was taking everything in Gage to keep him from exploding. "I never said she was a fucking toy!" But that was it, he held it in as long as he could, and both arms raise to push Dirk back as hard as he could.
He takes a few steps back, but he comes right back, arms held straight out from the shoulders and he pushes, holding back slightly. This is his bro! He can't believe they are fighting over a chick.
"She wasn't fucking stolen either, asshole!"
That push causes him to fall back slightly, he almost lost his balance. "You should of never touched her you fucking bastard!" As he balls up his right hand into a fist and aims it at Dirk's face.
The punch landed and his head whips to the side and he stumbles slightly. Rightng himself, he wipes the blood from his lip. "That's the only freebie you get, you son of a whore. Knock it off."
"Do something about it then." He stood firm, face showing no emotion whatsoever. "You think you can have anything you want, any fucking time you want it. This time you screwed the wrong girl!"
"You really do not want me to do that, Gage." His voice dropped to a hissed whisper. "No bitch is worth fighting over."
"You have no right to call her that.." He growled, a step closer even.
"A bitch comes between me and my bros, damn straight, she's a bitch." He glanced over to Evi then back to Gage, They're about nose to nose and he takes a deep breath in and blows it slowly out of his nose. "Back off man, she aint worth it. I aint telling you again."
"Do not call her that again." Nose to nose, he was not going to back down.
He leans his head to the side so he can look directly at Evi. "See what you done started, bitch?" He straightens his head and looks Gage directly in the eye, brow raised. "Now what?"
"You piece of shit!" That fist raises to go for Dirks face, oh yes once again!
He knew it was coming and he ducked this time. Bending and twisting, his balled up fist heads straight for Gage's gut. Usually he wouldn't use his finishing move on anybody but this was stupidity. He really did not want to be fighting Gage.
He'd heard the page over the intercom, and then the yelling that followed not long afterwards. The sound of the first punch had echoed in the hallway, so he figured he might want to go down to Evi's to see what was going on. Poking his head in just in time to see Gage's swing just miss Dirk's nose. "Hey!"
The hit got him right in the middle, and it knocks the wind out of him. First reaction was to grab at his stomach with both hands, his knees began to buckle but luckily he stood his ground, though one arm now rested on Evi's dresser to keep him steady. But then he quickly pushes off of it and heads for Dirk, he wanted to take him down so the best way was to slam right into him.
His attention was drawn from Gage for a brief second by Russ, and by the time he looks back, it's too late and Gage's shoulder meets his stomach. He folds over Gage easily and is thrown back, onto his ass. "Dammit!" He holds his stomach and quickly gets to his feet. "Listen dickhead, you're outside your mind!" He runs towards Gage, leaping at the last second for a tackle.
He looks to Evi and shrugs, then wanders more into the room. "Guys, knock it off! Take it downstairs or outside!" He stepped back as Dirk leaped.
Dirk may of tackled him but this gave him the chance of both fists now going to any spot on Dirk he could. Throwing punches left and right. "You are the one who is fucking crazy!" The next few words out of his mouth are muffled, he was too busy punching to make them clear.
He rolled to the side, getting punched in the ribs, stomach and the side of his head. "Fuck!" He starts jabbing towards Gage's ribs. He's too busy trying to evade and land punches to try to even speak any longer. His ribs already were screaming and he'd probably be pissin' blood the next morning from a kidney shot.
The fight had escalated quickly and it scared her. She could actually smell the adrenaline and testosterone in the air. She silently sinks down to the floor, just barely peeking over the edge of her bed at them. She's crying softly. "Stop it!"
It did not take long for the fight to ring through the intercom it seems the button was left on, so the fight was loud and clear all over the estate. Jaden had been in the kitchen, though now he was running up the stairs.
He reaches down and grabs ahold of Gage's arm, and tugs hard. "Come on, Gage!" He attempts to wrap his arms around Gage's stomach once he is standing. "Knock it off!"
"How could you touch her!" He screams as he is then jabbed in the ribs, though he is in pain he continues to throw his fists at him. Russ grabbing at him went unoticed.
In the doorway, he sees the scene. Man this was not good at all. He saw Evi, the guys at each other, Russ trying to grab Gage. "Cut it out you two!" He went to grab for Dirk since Russ was going for Gage.
"She fuckin' wanted it!" He continued to jab at the stomach and ribs of Gage. The entire world disappeared and it was just the two of them, blow for blow. "What the..." as his arm was pulled back, he turns and glares at Jaden. "Get off of me!"
He shook his head and resumed his grip on Gage, trying to jerk him up by his pant's waist. "Quit this shit now!"
The same happened to Gage, just he and Dirk were in the room. He did not even hear anyone else anymore. Just the sound of their fists hitting skin. "You piece of...." The wind was knocked out of him again.
"Bloody hell you two!" As he tried to grab Dirks arms, this was going nowhere. They would beat each other to a bloody pulp if they did not stop now. "This will solve nothing!" He yells at the two.
As his arm was jerked back, Gage got in a punch to Dirk's jaw that Dirk was not expecting. The room grew very dim, then went dark. He wasn't aware of anyone or anything, being pummelled or not, he was out cold.
"Shit!" He attempts again to pull Gage off of Dirk. "Stop it!" He looks to Jaden. Maybe he can pull Dirk away.
He was so overcome with rage that once Dirk was out he barely noticed. He even tried to kick at Dirk, hell he did not know! "I love her, I love her, I love her.." He kept whispering over and over again as finally he let Russ pull him away.
He was kneeling beside Dirk, hand on his chest, and he looks up at Gage. Blinking rapidly.
Her jaw dropped and she stares at Gage as if he's lost his mind. Did he say... was this about... before she could finish one question in her mind, the other would start.
"Jay Jay get him out of here."
Just a nod as he made his way over to Gage, sliding an arm around his young bros shoulder. "Come on man.." As he walks with Gage out of the room and down the stairs.
It didn't take long for Russ to wake Dirk up. He balled up his fist, raising his middle finger's knuckle slightly. He rubbed Dirk's breastbone with the knuckle until Dirk jerks awake. "Hello, Mr. Glass Jaw."
"Ouch!" He sits up and looks around the room. "Where'd he go?" He was up rather quickly, and got dizzy from it. Shaking his head he makes his way towards the door and yells, "You son of a bitch, get back here!" Catching a glimpse of Jaden and Gage as they headed down the stairs.
He looks to Evi and shakes his head, "Sorry." Then heads out of the room behind Dirk.
He turns his head, he saw Dirk. "You fucker!" Lips purse and if it was not for Jaden having a hold on him he would of been right on Dirk.
He catches hold of Dirk's arm and holds tight of it. "Hold on, you need to calm your ass down!"
"Oh crap.."A turn of his head to hear and see Dirk, he grabs ahold of Gage. "No man!"
He tries to shake off Russ' hold on his arm. "Let me be man!" Then he yells back to Gage. "Son of a whore, come get it!"
He lets go of Dirk's arm long enough to grab hold of him by the midsection. Hands lock together, his grip is like a vice and he won't let go.
He tries to shrug Jaden off, he of course does not want to hurt him. "I'm right here!" He screams, still trying to get away from Jaden.
He knuckles down on Russ' grip and breaks free, and runs towards Jaden and Gage. "Mother fucker, you wanting more?" He reaches out with an open palm and attempts to smack him in the back of the head.
"Hey!" He is almost pushed over by Dirk, and he does the sane thing, down on his knees away from the punches that surely would be flying soon.
He shakes his hands, that knuckling hurt! Refusing to be any more a part of this, he simply leans against the wall. "Fine, you two get it out of your system. Jaden, want some popcorn? We could even sell tickets."
And Gage was indeed smacked on the back of the head. And his left fist goes for Dirk's stomach.
He's doubled over by the punch, it stopped him in his tracks. His hands fly up and they land on Gage's shoulders. Rolling to the side, he goes to one knee. "Son of a..." He comes back up with his right fist towards Gage's Adam's apple. If nothing else will stop him, this will.
Getting up from the floor, he went to the wall. That was close. Too close for his taste so he settles on the wall, Russ was right. Maybe they would knock themselves out. He gave a shrug and grin to Russ.
Lucky for Gage he moves just in time to miss that blow to the throat, but the angle was good enough to get him upside the head as he dodged it. He winced in pain, he was seeing stars that is for sure. He stumbles to the right.
He takes advantage of the stumble to take a step back and try to catch his breath. He rubs his jaw tenderly, bruised, not broken. "Had enough, asswipe?"
Righting himself, he goes for Dirk. Both arms brought up to push him back again.
He takes a few steps back, his head falls to the side and he sighs heavily. Then he rights himself and places his arms across his chest. 'Fine, you win."
He can not stay up any longer, and finally falls to his knees. "I'm not done with you.." As he coughs, blood coming up with that. He even reaches out for Dirk, Gage never did know when to quit.
She had come down the stairs and stood beside Russ for a few moments. She even put her face into Russ' shoulder when Dirk went for the throat shot. But now she walks over to Dirk and looks up at him, then kneels beside Gage. She gently touches his swollen face, tears streaming down her face.
He took a step back, shaking his head. "I'm done with you." He takes another couple of steps back, then looks at the gathered group. "whatever." And heading into his room, he slams the door behind him.
He finally pushes off the wall and past them all. "I'll go get the medkit.." As he walks out of the room.
Russ made his way into the kitchen, he gathered up ziploc baggies of ice. "Good idea Jay Jay." He walks to Dirk's room and opens the door long enough to toss one of the bags into the room, then closes the door softly. Walking over to Gage and Evi, he hands her one of the bags. He makes eye contact with her for a moment and the guilt was evident in her eyes. "Take care of my brother." Then he heads off to help Jay Jay find the med kit.
Honestly at this moment he was oblivious to everyone, was someone touching him? He sighs deeply and sits completely down. He was not even sure what was going on anymore. But man he felt pain in every damn bone in his body, and his face.. wow, he could feel the swelling. "Oh man.." He whispers.
The tears refuse to stop, and they fall silenty down her cheeks. As gently as she can, she applies the ice pack to his lip. The papertowel wrapped around the pack absorbing the blood. "Gage, baby, I'm so sorry." She repeated it over and over as she sat with him. Luckily Russ had left a couple other ice packs and she used both hands to apply the packs to his face.
He paced his room like a caged animal. He still had a lot of pent up anger that wasn't going to go away any time soon. He tosses the ice pack that Russ threw into the room into his bathroom sink. Then, unlocking his bedroom window, he slips out into the night. God help the next man he comes upon.
Brown eyes try to focus on her. That was Evi right? He was not really sure anymore. His head was throbbing. Then he heard her words.. His hand raises to touch her face, his thumb resting on her bottom lip. The room was spinning, but he was gaining back control slowly.
She continues to apply the ice packs as gently as she can. When his thumb met with her lips she kisses it softly. "Gage, baby, I'm so sorry." She could tell he was regaining his recognizance. She couldn't stop repeating it.
He lifts, surely and slowly he gets on his feet. Grabbing her in the process. "I want to lay down.." Grunting as he begans to walk towards his room, his hand held hers. "Stay with me.." He says back to her.
She rises as he does, her hands falling from his face. She grips his hand gently, his knuckles were so swollen and bruised! One was even bleeding. She bites her lip and only nods quietly. "I'm right here, love."
