MINE

25- Regrets

Brian called Layla multiple times but she wouldn't awnser. He wrote her a ton of messages that were left unread. He rubbed his temple.

He had fought Layla over something that happened and it wasn't her fault. He was mad at Ollie but he loved her and he didn't know how to deal with this.

He had known Ollie for very little time and she had put Layla in a horrible position. She didn't even regret it. She was just upset because he wasn't happy about it.

He got into his car and when Ollie ran out and stood by the garage he looked at her with disappointment and anger. How could one woman do something like this to another? Especially when she helped Ollie. How could Ollie do this when she herself has been through something similar.

Brian hit the steering wheel in annoyance. He drove to her place and parked the car. He rushed inside and hoped she'd be there, he rings the bell and waits for someone to open.

There is some crashing sound inside and the door is pulled open after a few seconds. Knox frowns at Brian with red eyes because of the alcohol.

"Uh is Layla there?" Brian awkwardly asked. Knox stumbles and Brian grabs him before he hits the ground. He leads Knox to the sofa and sits beside him. He looks around the room with a grimace.

It reeked of alcohol, there were broken pieces of glass everywhere.

Knox turns to Brian. "I messed up" he said and told Brian everything in his state of intoxication.

Brian listens to everything as Knox rambles to him. Brian rubs his jaw as he hears everything and his eyes snap to a man in the entry who frowns at Knoxs words.

Brian makes I contact with him and they both look at Knox who after finishing the story cries himself to see. It wad weird for the two men to see this huge man cry himself to sleep.

Luke enters the house with the package inside and sits on the counter and the other man takes a seat beside him. "Brian" he said and Luke nods. "Luke"

They sit in silence for a while, "You here for Layla?" Brian asked and Luke nods. "Hadn't met her in a while so I thought I'd come visit but-" he trails off as he looks at the state of the house and then Knox.

Brian nods.

"I was here to apologise to her, I-" Brian pauses as Luke pats him. "She will come around, she has been through a lot but she forgives." Luke said to Brian who looked at the cabinet with a zoned out expression.

"I'll call her" Luke said and Brian nods.

The phone rings a couple of time before Layla picks up. "Luke, is everything okay?" She asked when she picked up. Luke could hear a lot of background voices. "Yeah I dropped by, I had something to give you" he said. "I'll send you my friends address, I'm staying there for a while" she said and hung up.

"She sounds busy" Brian said and Luke nods. He passes the phone to Brian, "I'll mention you to her" he said and Brian nods. "Thank you" he said after saving his contact in Luke's phone.

Luke looks at Knox and the house. He puts the package down beside his phone as he rolls up his sleeve.

Brian follows suit. Brian grabs Knox while Luke calls his house help. He grabs the alcohol bottles littered around and puts them on the slab.

The house help appears and even his eyes widen at the scene. He looks at Luke and nods as he grabs the cleaning equipments and gest to work while Luke goes up to check Brian and Knox.

He enters the room and luckily it looks intact, if you can ignore the alcohol smell that reeks from the room too.

"He is drinking an unhealthy amount" Brian said and Luke nods. It looked like he had been doing this for quite a while. Was he even drinking water or eating?
