STUTTER

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Octavian POV
I was going to punch the wall again when a man came in front of me and punched me square in the jaw. My head whipped back and I glared at him angrily. He glared right back just that his was colder. I am sure this is Jackson's father since they look alike.
Why the fuck did you deem it necessary to do all this he seethes gesturing around the room. Fucking answer me he shouted. Calm down a woman,probably Jackson's mom said. I will the moment the idiot tells me why he decided to scare my Stellina and destroy my house. Who in heaven's name is Stellina I thought angrily to myself. I will handle it she said softly. Fine he sighed going to a corner of the room all the while glaring at me. Come on,let's go downstairs she said to both of us and started walking out. I remained standing and just stared at her. She said to go downstairs he shouted and I slowly walked  behind her. Take a seat she said when we got to the living room. I gingerly sat down and she asked.  What is your name? When I refused to answer,she said. Look, my husband and son want to kill you so bad for hurting Skylar. Trust me,even I want to but I need to know why you did what you did. So,what is your name? I sighed and took a deep breath before answering, Octavian. Ok, Octavian why did you get angry and destroy our home? B-be-because of J-j-jacks-jackson. What did he do? They both asked frowning slightly.
H-he m-moc-ked my s-s-spe-ech I said looking at them. You triggered Skylar's panic attack because you thought Jackson mocked your stutter? He asked in disbelief.  Wait,hold-up, panic attack?! How didn't I realise it?! Whe-w-here is S-sh-s-she? I asked. None of your business he snapped.
Do you know who the f**k I am? He asked slowly coming in front of me. He didn't wait for me to answer and just continued.  Do you know what I do to people who harm those I love? He asked again and raised his hand to punch me but she motioned for me to stop which I was very thankful for cause the first punch hurt like hell. Why did you think he was mocking you she asked and I shrugged. S-see-seem-ed l-like it. So because it seemed like it ,you decided to take it out on Skylar instead of Jackson? He shouted. He was the one you thought was mocking you. I clenched my fists in anger.  Their son mocked me for crying out loud. I know it was wrong to take it out on Skylar but still. He was  not mocking you she said after a short moment of silence. W-what? I asked shocked. I said he was not mocking you. He has a stutter too she said and I stared at her shocked.  Fuck I muttered under my breath. I destroyed their fucking house for nothing. I shouted at Skylar for nothing. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and towards me.Jackson was suddenly in front of me and looked like he wanted to murder me. Jackson don't his mom said and I glanced at her. B-but no buts she said you know it'll be almost impossible to stop when you start.

Jackson

I looked from my mom to my dad then the asshole...... I mean Octavian. I did the next best thing and just punched the wall nearest to me. I then proceeded to destroy the entire living room.Everyone just watched me as I took my anger out on the poor house. Jackson enough my mother said calmly. I said enough! She said sternly when I ignored her. I stopped abruptly breathing heavily. Jackson calm down she said softly and I looked at her nodding softly. Come on take in deep breaths we have to talk about this but you have to calm down first. I took in deep breaths trying to calm myself down. Come on let's go to my office we can't talk here Dad said and I stomped upstairs shoving Octavian on the way.
They eventually came in with Octavian behind them. I clenched and unclenched my fists glaring at him. Let's sit mom said looking directly at me. I'd r-rather s-s-st-and I answered. Jackson mom warned and I sighed sitting down.
Octavian
I watched him as  he struggled to speak. I had really fucked up. Explain his father started and I stared at him not making an effort to talk. Octavian his wife said calmly explain yourself. I-i al-already-already d-did I said and received a very cold glare from Mr Woods. Do it again she said calmly. Well I thought -tho-thought J-jack-jacksonn was mocki-mocking  me and -and-and I s-shouted at s-sky before I could finish  Jackson had  me between he and a wall. He pinned me against the wall and punched me square in the jaw. Before I could react he punched me again. Jackson that's enough his mom snapped but he ignored her. Sh-she co-uld ha-ve-have-have d-di-died he shouted in frustration. But she didn't she replied calmly. Fight him his father said. Don't just stand there. Seriously? His wife asked furiously. I lifted a fist to punch him and he grabbed it. I punched him with my other hand. He pinned me to the wall again and I groaned. I knew I deserved it but damn did it hurt. Jackson. She really sounded like she didn't want him. to stop. He was suddenly ripped away from me and the next thing I knew he was on the floor held down by his dad. I slowly sat down on one of the chairs. I was probably going to have bruises.Jackson calm down and sit the fuck down his mother commanded and he stopped struggling. He was still breathing heavily and glaring at me.
