Jodie closed her eyes as truth began to cross Benji's path. This was so not how she wanted him to find out. She bet Emmylyne and Axel didnt want him to find out this way either. Slowly her hazel eyes landed on Axel. She couldnt help but have a strong feeling of sympathy for him. Yes she felt terrible for her brother, but she felt just as bad for dear Ax. He didnt want this to happen. She knew he would never intentionally hurt Ben. They have been best friends longer than she can remember. This was just awful to watch.
Benjamin couldnt do anything but just look at Emmy. Slowly his heart began to break as she didnt say anything. Why wasnt she answering him? Why was she in pain? What were they hiding from him?! He was begining to sweat on the back of his neck. He had no patience in his body what-so-ever, so having to stand there waiting for somebody to tell him what was going on was killing him.
Jenny watched as her brother begin to panic. She couldnt stand to see him this way. How could they do this to her brother? It was like they didnt even care about him. One thing was straight, and that was she wasnt going to let Emmy or Axel live this down.
When Axel walked toward him, he gave him a pleading smile. Maybe he would be able to tell him what was going on. But what he said made the smile vanish from his face. He had to be dreaming. This wasnt happening. He was still in the damp shed, tied to a pole, having a nightmare. That was all. Pretty soon Remmy was going to enter and begin the day with one of his usual tortures.
But as he stood there, looking at Axel, Ben knew this wasnt a really bad dream. This was really happening. His best friend had taken his wife as his own. He had taken over his life. Did he even care that he was back? All he cared about was what Emmy was going to do now that he was back. How could be be so stupid in thinking that he would be welcomed back so easily. Well one thing was certain, he wasnt going to let this go so quickly.
Jodie gained new respect for Axel as he told Benji everything. He was braver than she thought he was. As he began to grow a little unsteady, she was glad to see that he was close to the counter. Jodie then looked at her brother, waiting for him to do something.
As he opened his mouth to say something, Axel's second sentence connected. "Pregnant? Emmy is pregnant? Im gone for how long? And she is already pregnant!? You guys didnt even wait for more corpse to grow cold before you were married! How can you do this to me. I though I was your mate!" Benji exploded at Axel. His blood was boiling and he could feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up as he looked him in the eye.
Jenny stared hard at Axel as he actually admitted the truth, the whole truth. She didnt think he had it in him. She actually would of let pity cross her face if he didnt let Finn come and help him stand. "Oh stop being overdramatic Phoenix. Dont make this about you! Your acting like a baby. Now you feel guilty. You sure didnt feel guilty two years ago!" she shouted.
"You couldnt even tell me when I came? I have been here for a couple of hours and I had to find our from my daughter? How come you couldnt just come straight out with it? Yeah I wouldve been mad, but at least I wouldnt be making a fool of myself, thinking everything is fine and that my life is going to go back to normal. At least I wouldve known that my best mate was actually my mate and could tell me the truth!" Benjamin said.
Ben was shaking with fury. He couldnt believe Axel would do something like this to him. They had been friends forever. Every since they had met at Grandma Angelina's house, they had got along and laughed at everything together. It made the betrayal even worse. He then looked back at Emmylyne. His other best friend. He had loved her since he was 15. She knew his life from back to front and loved him for it. He had betted everything in his Gringotts vault that Emmy wouldnt have given up on him. He thought, she would never think that he was dead and would come looking for him. That was what he wouldve done if things were switched. That crushed him even more than the fact that she had gotten with his best friend.
When Axel told Benjamin that he was so sorry, Jenny walked over to Axel and got in his face. "Dont try and make this about you. Oh so you said sorry, good for you. That doesnt change what you did! Your a big bru-" But Jenny couldnt finish her sentence. What happened?
Jodie had, had enough. She had her wand out and pointed at Jenny. Luckily she was good with non-verbal spells. After placing a silence charm on her sister she said, "Thats enough Jen. Dont make this worse than it already is." She didnt flinch as Jenny gave her a death glare. Jodie couldnt believe how unresonably Jenny was being.
As Axel locked eyes with him, Ben stared hard and long at him. But the more he looked at his sea green eyes, the more angry he seemed to get. He broke Axel's graze and looked at Emmy. What was she going to do now?
