YOU ARE MY WORST MISTAKE

"I haven't seen Dax all day. Do you have any idea where he might be?" I asked Gia after waiting for Dax for a while.

"He went home like five hours ago to wash up but I haven't seen him yet. He said he was going to come back"

"That's unlike him. Please tell my parents I stepped out for a bit, and also thank you for looking after Brianna. I don't know how to pay you back"

"You don't have to, I mean what are friends for if I can't do this for her. She would have done the same if I was in the same situation"

"Brianna is lucky to have a friend like you"

"I think I am the lucky one around here. I was in a total mess from the hands of my bullies the day she saved me.

I loved her immediately, her boldness, the way she stands up for herself and people she loves without fear. Those were the things I lacked but she shared hers with me"

"I know, if she was right here she wouldn't let you cry. But I will do it on behalf of her" I said as I walked up to her and wiped the tears off her face.

She buried her face on my chest and started sobbing. I didn't know what to do or say to calm her down. I hugged her and ran my hands up and down her back to calm her down.

"She will be fine, right?" She asked when she finally calmed down.

"I know she will, we just have to wait. I don't want you crying again okay? Am beginning to think Brianna is going to kill me if she founds out I let you cry"

That brought a smile to her face. I wish there is something more I could say but am still finding it hard to put myself together.

I have been trying to be strong at this moment since everyone else seems down, but I don't know how long I can hold it.

"I have to go check up on Dax"

"Okay, be careful"

"I will"

I called Dax's number but he wasn't picking up. Where the heck did he keep his cellphone? I went to his house and was informed he left hours ago.

I got scared but refused to think negatively. I have never really been to a club before but Dax has mentioned this particular club a few times.

I decided to check if he will be there even though I tried to find a reason why he should be at a club at this period.

Just like I thought he was here, sitting in between girls and drinking. And here I am worrying about him. I thought he has changed, I thought maybe Brianna has someone changed him even though it doesn't make any sense.

I walked up to him and stood right in front of him and he didn't even notice me.

"Hey handsome, care to join us?" One of the ladies asked but I ignored her.

"Dax, we need to talk"

"Hey dude, you should really join us. This ladies are all hot and can give you any style you want"

"I want to talk to you right now!" I barked at him and he stood up and walked up to me.

"Don't talk to me in that manner again. You are not the boss of me" he said and took another shot of liquor.

"What is wrong with you? I thought you really have some self respect but for you to be here at this period is what I don't understand"

"What do you want me to do? I did my best in trying to keep her safe. I know that it happened because of me but I did my best"

"Well your best isn't enough. You are supposed to be beside her, we all are. But instead you decide to radish your time, and money in the club flirting around with girls"

"Do you think it is easy for me to sit and stare at her and keep wishing she will magically open her eyes and all will be well.

Eric the guilt is eating me up inside, I can't take it anymore is driving me crazy"

I saw the hurt in his eyes and the pain in his voice and I knew immediately that something was going on between Dax and Brianna.

I don't think they kept their relationship mutual. I was angry not because my sister is about to enter a coma with little chance of waking up but because my best friend might have been messing around with my sister.

If Dax was the type to consider people's feelings I wouldn't have bothered, but knowing Dax and how he treated women like some trash.

I don't think I want him around my sister anymore. I grabbed him by the collar and punched him hard on the face.

A fight broke out between us and we ended up leaving each other with a broken lips and nose. Before people came to stop us the fight was already getting more serious.

We were both thrown out of the club by the owner. He said we were going to bring the police to him and he is avoiding that.

"You know i'm beginning to think that having you as my friend was the worst mistake I have ever made"

"Eric I didn't mean for any of this to happen, but trust me the few times I spent with your sister is a memory I will always cherish"

"And you think I will believe that? I told you to look after my sister not flirting around with her"

"I wasn't flirting with her"

"Like I said before I don't believe you. In a week you are seen with five different girls. You dump them like you would do to your old clothes.

I choose not to judge you because I don't fucking know your story but bring it up to my sister was a big mistake"

"No Eric, I will never hurt Brianna and you know it"

"But you did, you hurt her. Both physically and emotionally. I can't believe I am the one that brought you into her life.

And now you have messed it up like you always do"

"I didn't mean for any of this to happen"

"And you are out here wasting your life with girls while my sister is in the hospital bed struggling for her life!" He screamed in my face.

Dax's POV

I have never seen Eric like this before. I have no idea why I came to the club but I was going nuts. I couldn't get everything together, the thought of leaving and not staying to pay for my sins made me more miserable.

My dad sent me a text, he said he is giving me a month to round things up and move to Europe. He said it was the only way to keep Brianna safe since Jake joined a bigger and dangerous gang that would be coming for me if I stayed.

I got so angry after the test message, I just wanted to waste myself for the night and see if I could think straight but instead I ended up fighting with Eric.

"Am sorry Eric, if I could reverse everything I will. Your sister mean so much to me. I didn't realise it until now.

When I am with her, I am a different person, she brings out the best in me. She makes me want to see life in another way but knowing I am the reason why she is in this condition is eating me up.

I really cannot handle it anymore. I keep wanting everything to end. When I sleep I keep praying and asking God to turn it all into a dream but it isn't"

"I don't care about all these anymore. I just don't want to see you around my sister. Don't ever come to the hospital to visit her.

Stay away from her or I might be forced to do something stupid" that was his last words before he left.

I felt like someone stabbed a knife into my heart and for the first time since my mum left I felt tears running down my face.

I just lost a friend, someone who made life bearable for me after moving down here. Eric has been my back and front bone from day one, but today I lost him too.

I took my phone and dialled my dad's number. He picked on the second ring.

"I thought you weren't going to call. Did you consider what I told you?

"Find me a good college with some pretty girls will you?"

"I can't believe you haven't stop flitting around"

"Are you going to find it or not?" I asked with a bossy voice.

"Fine, I will have my secretary look into it. My main concern is your grade. As long as you keep having A's just like as your high school I won't have any problem with you"

"Then be expecting me in a month's time" I wonder what made me think I have something special with Brianna.

That night Eric's words killed something in me. A feeling that was starting to grow, but he killed it and that made me realise a lot of things.

I can't eat my cake and still have it. Is time for me to disappear from their life, I have caused more than a damage.
