You and I.

Fred's POV

I wanted answers and I knew that everyone else wanted answers so I took on myself to get isobel to meet me and Eric at a coffee shop.

"If she doesn't show up I'm fucking done with this Fred. I want nothing to do with her anyway." Eric said.
"I know and I feel the same but I just want answers that's all." I said.
"I'm fucked if I'm telling her about Callie and Erin. All she'll know is I have a girlfriend and I have a daughter, she's not finding out their names and that Callie is expecting." He said seriously.
"I'm not telling her about Eli either, only that I'm engaged." I said.
"Think she can guess since you have a ring on your finger." Eric chuckled.
"So does Jack and Alex part from theirs is promise rings." I said.
"Yeah, but them two might as well just marry anyway since I don't see Jack or Alex settling down with Anyone else." He said.
"That's a good point." I said and noticed Isobel walking towards us.
"She's on her way over." I said and Eric looked.
"Fucking hell man friend must have money." He said sarcastically.
I chuckled and Isobel came over and sat down.

"Its lovely here. How do you guys even afford to live here." She said.
I sighed and Eric just looked at me.
"Its called working hard by the looks of things you haven't lifted a finger for a few years." I said.
"Still, its really expensive here." She said and got up and ordered herself a drink.
"She hasn't seen us for 6 years and she's already putting us down. I'm telling you Fred if she says one thing out of fucking place I'm getting up and I'm gone and I want nothing to do with her." Eric said quietly.
"I understand." I said quietly and looked up and saw Jack coming over with Alex which I was glad he managed to talk some sense into him.
"What have we missed?" Jack asked and sat down and Alex sat next to him, his head hanging low and he looked really anxious about being here.
"Her pretty much putting us down on living here." Eric said.
"Fucking bitch." Jack muttered and looked at Alex.
"You'll be okay, I'll be right beside you." Jack said quietly and kissed the side of Alex's head which made Alex smile.
"Want a drink?" Jack asked Alex and he nodded.
"Tea." Alex said quietly and messed with Jack hoodie he was wearing.
"Okay, I'll be right back." Jack said and kisses the top of Alex's head and got up and went to order his and Alex's drink.
I looked at Eric who was looking at me.
"Its going to be okay Lex." I said quietly and put my hand on his leg which made Alex jump a little but he looked at me and smiled.

Isobel came back and looked at Alex and she smiled.
"Alex haven't you grown into a handsome young man." She said.
"Get fucked isobel, don't act like you actually fucking care." Alex snapped and looked round for Jack and got up and went to Jack.
"Was it something I said?" Isobel asked.
"Since you fucked off Alex has been through fucking hell and he's only just about getting his shit together." Eric said watching Alex and Jack carefully.
"What do you mean?" She asked and Jack and Alex came back.
Alex had the hoodie off and his scars and a couple of new cuts was very visible to everyone.
She just looked at Alex's arm and looked at him.
I admit his neck scars are a little off putting and the same with his cheek scar but me, Jack and Eric was used to them and we didn't give a shit about them anymore.
"The fucking hell you looking at?" Jack spat.
"Alex what happened?" She asked.
"He almost fucking killed himself. That's what happened." Jack said suddenly growing really protective over Alex.
"I was talking to Alex not you Jack." She spat at Jack.
"He doesnt want to talk to you." Jack said.
"Then why is he here?" She asked.
"Because like us he wants answers on why you fucked off." Eric said.
Isobel looked at Eric.
"I want to know what you guys have been up to first." She said.
We all looked at each other.

"Fine. I have a girlfriend and a daughter and that's all what your finding out." Eric said.
"I have a granddaughter?" Isobel asked.
"Yes and you are never going to see her." Eric said.
"But I have rights." She said.
"Rights? You have the fucking right to stay the fuck out of our lives. So you can fuck right off back to your fucking husband and your other kid and stay the fuck away from us!" Alex said and got up.
"How do you know that?" She asked.
"I saw you a few months ago. Happy as fucking anything. Well you can fuck right off and never come back into my fucking live ever again!" He said and walked off.
I looked at Jack and he got up and went after Alex because Alex wasn't having a good day whatsoever.

Me and Eric looked at isobel who was looking down.
"Wow a replacement husband I can get but a replacement kid? You had fucking 3 of us! You couldn't give us the fucking love we needed! You walked out on us! You disowned us. Why should that kid get love but we don't!" Alex said from out of the blue and we looked and he was walking back with Jack keeping his distance.
"Alex please not here." Isobel said quietly.
"Why? People need to know what a fucking waste of space you are." Alex snarled.
" Because you don't understand. Once I walked out I couldn't go back, your sister needed the love and care I couldn't give you." She said.
"Don't tell us we don't understand. We are fucking adults." Eric growled and a girl came over.
"Mum?" She said but stopped when she saw us.
"Mum who are they?" The girl asked looking at us.
"Rose these are your half brothers." Isobel said.
We looked at Alex who looked like he was going to hit the roof.
"I'm so fucking done." Alex said and this time he walked off and he didn't come back.
"Who was that?" Rose asked.
"That's Alex. He has a poorly head and says things he doesn't mean." Isobel said and me and Eric scoffed.
"You really are clueless. So on that note we are leaving so you can go back to playing happy families." I said and got up and walked off with Eric.

We went looking for Jack and Alex and found them in a park by the river.
"Well don't you two look cute." Eric said and sat by Jack while I sat by Alex.
"That was a bit of a shock." Jack said.
"We don't need her, we've been fine and as long as we have each other we'll always be fine." Alex said.
"He has a point." I said.
"Alex." A voice said and we all turned round and saw Rose walking over.
"Fuck off child." Alex said.
"Please, just let me speak." She said and walked over and sat in front of us.
"What are you 10?" I asked.
"16 so get your facts right." She said sarcastically.
I glared at her.
"She really misses you guys. All my life all I've heard was stories about you guys. She even has pictures up of you." She said.
"But did she tell you on how she disowned us because I was addicted to drugs and Alex here has mental problems." Eric said.
"No, and I understand why you guys don't want anything to do with her. But just give her a chance." She said.
"No." We all said together.
"Why? So what if she disowned you guys. She is willing to have you back in her life. You get to have a second chance on being a family. You get a chance to get to know me and we can be close like how you are now. Please if not for her then for me. I want to know my brothers and my niece." She said.
"She disowned us. You clearly don't understand what that is like now our answer is no and can you please now fuck off and leave us alone." Alex said.
Jack looked at Alex.
"No I don't care." Alex said.
"Please. I want to know my brothers. More than anything in the world. Since I found out all I wanted to do is to meet you guys and be close." She said.
"Fine. But you don't go telling isobel." I said.
Rose smiled and got up and hugged me.
"Can we meet up tommorow?" She asked as she got up.
"Can't more than like to be sectioned tomorrow." Alex said.
"Babe don't say that." Jack said.
"It doesn't matter. I can always come and see you." She smiled which made Alex smile.
"I would like that." He said his mood completely throwing everyone off guard.
Rose smiled.
"Here's my number. I'll text you guys." She said and gave me her number and ran off.
"Well.. We have to get to know her somehow." Eric said getting up.
"Where you going?" I asked.
"School run, laters chaps." He said and walked off.
Me, Jack and Alex also went our separate ways and I went to get Eli from the airport which I was happy about.
