Orphaned and alone, Chloe
Weston is forced to leave everything she knows and start over with nothing more
than a shattered heart. But it isn't long until the Hartley
boys–both of them–begin to mend the broken
pieces. Kind, loving, and reliable Hudson Hartley would move mountains
to see her smile. On the contrary, fun, sexy, bad boy, Jax Hartley,
only wants to help her forget about her pain. Filling the void in
Chloe's life, the brothers vie for her attention--and heart.
But only one can have her...
Hudson
Down in the kitchen, I find
Jax, luckily alone. He never cared about flaunting his latest conquests around,
but since Chloe has been staying here, I haven’t seen a single one.
I’m extremely grateful, and I wonder if he even knows he’s
doing it. “Hey man, what are you doing up so early?”
Looking up from his overflowing
bowl of Cap’n Crunch, he says, “Chloe isn’t
exactly a quiet crier. But I’m used to it at this point. I
don’t have anywhere to be, so I can just sleep all
day.”
“Sorry about that. I
think it’s just hitting her a little harder today. Stuff like your
first day of senior year is important to girls like Chloe. It’s the
first major life moment that her parents are
missing.”
“I get it, dude. I
haven’t said anything because she’s going through shit
right now. I’m not a major asshole, or at least I try not to always
be.”
Oddly enough, I think
that’s the first normal conversation we’ve had in a long
time. The Hartley brothers don’t have heart-to-hearts, as funny as
that sounds. Honestly, if it weren’t for the band, I don’t
think we’d be as close as we are. That’s about all we have
in common. The silence drags on, and although it isn’t uncomfortable
for me, Jax can never have it be silent for too long. He always has to fill the
silence in some way.
One night when I was watching
TV, Jax came in, and just like any older brother he took the remote and changed
the channel. I thought about arguing, but I was too exhausted and went with it.
Five minutes after he found something, I could hear mumbling. I looked over and
his mouth was moving. “What the fuck are you
doing?”
“I don’t
know what you’re talking about, dude. I’m not doing
anything. What are you doing?”
“Yes you are.
Wait…are you saying all of the lines?”
“No. Why would I do
that? That’s weird.”
After another five minutes, he
started up again. He was oblivious to the fact he was doing it, or he
couldn’t hold out any longer.
Either
way, it was some pretty funny shit.
“Do you think the
Flash can turn his dick into a human vibrator during
sex?”
And there it is. What
the fuck? I stare at him incredulously. “Where do you come
up with this
shit?”
He holds up his juice glass,
and I notice it’s adorned with the members of the Justice League.
“C’mon, just think about it.”
I shake my head. “I
don’t know. I guess that makes
sense.”
“Dude, that would be
awesome.”
I can’t believe
we’re even having this conversation right now. “Just
don’t tell the ladies your
theory.”
“Why
not?”
“Because then
they’d be disappointed in your lack of vibrating
abilities.”
“Trust
me, brother, no chick has ever left my bed
disappointed.”
“Dude,
I don’t want to know how any girl feels leaving your bed.
That’s between you and whoever your latest hookup is.” He
opens his mouth to say something, but
Chloe walks in the room and he shuts it right back up. I don’t know
what was going on between Chloe and Jax over the summer, but it stopped after
that night. The two of them don’t even talk to each other anymore. Or
more like Jax doesn’t talk to Chloe. I think he feels responsible for
the accident, but I’ve told him time and again it wasn’t
his fault.
