Chapter 51 - Pain

As they were now at the mansion John walks In and went Into his room and bolting It shut. The others walk to the kitchen and started to drink knowing that this demon was gonna to haunt them all excluding Scott because he never knew Maxi like they did.

The others walks In with a loud conversation, that came to a pause when they saw them with their heads down on the counter.

Quinns then asked "How did it go guys?"

"It went according to plan" Mifflin replies.

Adriana then ask "So your drinking to celebrate?"

"Quite the opposite they're all messed up with the image and the screams" Scott replies

Anna then asked "So where's John?"

"He's in his room?" Scott answered.

Hope turns to Emily and said "You should go check on him"

"I would advise you to wait till he's ready" Raven said.

Emily asked "Why should he be left alone"

"Emi she's right, John Isn't big on lost, so It's best that he's left alone until he's ready to talk and I bet it's worst than before loosing a brother" Jordan said.

Raven then said "It's a lot worst, we've both kill a whole lot of people but I've never seen John cried until today, maybe a tear or two but not like this, he's sinking guys "

"So everyone go rest we have to make thing right" Hope said.

Scott sighs and replies "He need us all for this one, that guy was like a brother to him and he chose us over him. The way I see it, you guys messed up so bad"

"All we needed to do was pull the trigger and make it easier on him" Mifflin said.

Quinns replies "Your both right, this could've been the last trigger that these cowards would squeeze"

Raven then glares at them and walked towards her room. Everyone then got up and went to their own quarters. As the words were haunting them in their sleep, Raven was in the weapons room cleaning the firearms when John enters and place his sidearm down on the shelf.

She then tosses him a flask and said "I know you would come here when everyone is asleep" She then removes another flask and started sipping on it.

John started drinking as he walks over to a chair and took a seat. Raven walks over to the chair beside him and did the same. John then looks at her and tries to smile.

He then said "Aren't you tired, we just did a mission. Your usually sleeping at this time of the night"

"Are you alright John?" Raven asked.

John laughs and replies "I'm good, just needed some sleep"

"You were crying, I've never seen you cry before today" Raven said.

John smiles "Tears for a falling brother"

John then took a sip of the whiskey and said "This is so strong"

Raven looks at him and nods.

She then places her hand onto his shoulder and said "I always got your back, so If you wanna let it out you can"

"Raven all these people that switch up on me, I don't know who I can trust" John said.

Raven then replies and said "Okay I hear you"

"Don't get me wrong I trust you, even if it leads me to my downfall" John said with a serious look on his face.

She then stands up and said "Your weird as hell, just go to Emily she must be worried sick"

John nods and said "Nah they don't give a shit about me"

Raven shakes her and walks off towards the door. John then stops her by saying "Raven I'm sorry for everything, Oh take this" He then tosses her a necklace.

"What's this John?" She asked.

John smiles and said "It's my way of saying thank you"

She sighs and said "Are you sure that your alright John cause your being weird"

"I'm good sleep well Raven" He replies.

As she went to her room and bolts the door shut, John took up a bag filled with some clothes and went through the back exist. As he walks over to the garage Jordan stops him by saying "When will you be back"

John turns and said "Why aren't you asleep J?"

"I know you like the back of my hand Bro, you always do some weird shit when your in pain" Jordan replies.

John then said "I'm not In pain I'm just giving you guys some space"

"When you were sixteen and you lost your husky, you locked yourself in your room, isolating yourself from everyone. John we just lost a brother no matter what happened between you guys" Jordan said.

He followed up by asking "Where are you even gonna go?"

"I don't know where I'm going I'm just gotta go" John replies.

"So what about Emily, don't be a piece of shit and break her heart" Jordan said.

"That's not a priority at the moment and don't act like you know what I'm feeling Jordan" John said.

Jordan then gets upset and said "He was my brother too, long before this shit don't forget that"

"I had to kill him, not you are anyone here!" John yells before pausing. He then continues by saying "The only one here who really gives a shit is Raven. Don't get me wrong I don't really want to walk this road alone but I can't place my anymore problems on Raven"

Jordan replies "Okay I understand"

"Then leave me alone" John said before turning and walks towards the garage.

Jordan then fold his fist and said "Your not leaving John not this time. Even If you beat me to a pulp I won't stop getting up"

John then pulls out his pistol and points it at him while saying "Don't let me have to kill another one of my brothers, so move along"

"Well shoot me, that's the only way your going to leave. Over my cold dead body" He said before rushing towards John.

John quickly jumps and landed a flying tornado kick to his jaw. It sends him crashing to the ground. John then turns and continues walking to the garage.

Jordan rises to his feet and said "Like I said John I won't stop getting up"

John drops the gun and his bag. He then stood into a fighting position. Jordan rushes in send combos of punches and kicks, John easily blocks them before landing a hit to his cheekbone that knocked him out.
