Chapter 207

Brad

I was walking around the house with a bottle of bourbon falling as I was going. I wanted to get my keys. I need to go to the office. I was searching everywhere for the keys but couldn’t get it. I got so angry I threw the bottle of bourbon across the room and against the wall, all you heard was a bottle breaking in little pieces and I think it was me who screamed “Fuck Fuck all of you.” To tell you the truth I was so drunk I could have been someone else except I was the only one in the room until the bottle broke then all the maids and Peter my fucking driver I fired came storming into the room. “Sir, are you okay?” Peter asked me. “Fuck off and give me the keys.” “What keys.” “My fucking car keys what else will I be looking for.” “I don’t know where they are.” “Don’t talk shit with me.” “I’m not, you where the last to drive sir.” He was telling the truth I was the last to drive but where would I have put the keys. The doorbell went off. “Send them away I’m not here.” I screamed at who ever was going to open the door. But no, they did not send the fuckers away Arlo, Rufus and Tom walked into the living room with their judgmental looks on their faces. “What the fuck do you want?” I slurred over my words. “You sober but we all can’t get what we want can we.” Tom hit back. “Fuck of Tom.” Tom turned around and talked to the others “I’m not going to sit with this again his abusive and doesn’t want our help. Jennifer is sorted we don’t have to look after him anymore.” “But we do Romeo ask us to and to be fair we didn’t tell Romeo about this.” Arlo said to Tom. “We didn’t think he would really marry Jenn we didn’t even think Brad would allow it.” Rufus went on. “But we still had time to warn him when we found him drunk at the wedding.” Arlo told the others. “Fine but this is the last time.” Both Rufus and Tom said. “You fuckers know I can hear everything you are saying right?” “We do but if you remember it, is another story.” Fuck you.”

“Brad sit down please.” Arlo asked me. “NO” “Brad I’m not going to ask again you know we will make you sit down.” I remember them forcing me to sit and to listen to them when my wife and son died, I think that was the first time I really grabbed the bottle and since then I was doing good, I still had a bottle or two every day but I could manage it, if I’m truthful I can’t manage it anymore because it’s not a bottle or two anymore. I went to sit down. “Let the speeches begin.” I told them. Arlo looked at me and all he said was “You need to go to rehab.” I jumped up and screamed at them “Fuck no I’m not going to rehab there is nothing wrong with me.” “You are an alcoholic Brad and the sooner you admit it the sooner you’ll get better.” “I’m not it’s all Romeo’s fault his the one that took my child from me his the one that took my business from me.” I went on until Tom stopped me “No Brad you are the one that drove Jennifer into Romeo’s arms and you are the one that is fucking up your business so royally that Romeo didn’t have any other option as to take away the business from you. Don’t blame Romeo or Jennifer for that matter it’s all your mistakes.” “If Romeo didn’t take Jenn away from me, I wouldn’t have drunk so much.” “Just stop okay Brad STOP.” Arlo jumped in. “The first thing an alcoholic does is blame other people for their mistakes take accountability for your actions and stop this shit. We should have booked you into a rehab when your wife and son died but we felt sorry for you and the only person that suffered all these years where Jennifer. You can thank the stars that you haven’t been arrested yet or worse killed someone with your drinking and driving.” “I never drink and drive.” I defended myself. “You want us to call in Peter and ask him, because we heard you fired him and are making scenes at the office and the casino that is not on Brad you are going to lose business associates if you keep on going on like this.” “I have nothing to lose Romeo took everything from me.” “Stop your fucking whining we are booking you into a rehab even if we have to force you into a car.” “I know one thing about rehab.” “And what is that?” Arlo asked “I need to want the help they are giving and I don’t want it.”

“Fuck this I’m leaving.” Tom said. “Please Tom don’t, we get him in the car take him to a rehab and hope for the best. Then when Romeo get’s back he can take over from us. This is the last thing we are doing for Jennifer.” I heard Arlo pleading with Tom. The next few minutes went by in a blur I saw Rufus approaching me then I felt something sting me in the neck. I could feel I was flying; I think I was being carried then I was in a car and from there it was black I passed out.

Arlo

We did what Romeo ask of us we got Brad some help, probable not the help Brad wanted or even the help Romeo knew Brad needed but we got him into the best luxuries rehab center we could find in Las Vegas. Rufus did have to sedate him to get him in the car but at least we had a prescription. When we got to the rehab center, we explained everything to them and that he will be violent when he wakes up because he doesn’t want to be there and he didn’t think he needed help. The nurse assured us they know what they where doing so we felt better when we left. “We should have done this years ago guys.” I told the others, “Maybe Jennifer’s life would have been different if we had.” “Maybe but we did it now and that is all that counts.” Tom said. We also gave Peter instructions of getting rid of all the alcohol and to lock the wine cellar until Jennifer get’s back she needs to deal with that. I took my phone and send Romeo a message I didn’t know if Jenn would read his messages or even if he told her yet but all I said was

“Package has been taken care off. Phone when you can.”
