tell me a lie, zoey & nate

[brady elliot richardson]

Brady was pissed off at the world again. It would seem that he was always pissed off at the world. Though his musical ability was finally panning out because Jackson's parents didn't require silence, or even quiet, Brady was still having a hard time considering the Madison house home. He missed Zoey and he missed his own bed. He had a hard time considering the bed in the guest bedroom, now his room, his bed. Jax usually found him on the couch in the mornings because Brady could not consider that room his. Not for now anyways. He'd been here a while now but he just couldn't... He couldn't believe that his parents had, for legit, kicked his ass out. If anything, he thought they'd lock him in his room and never let him out. Instead, he was not allowed back at the house... Ever. If Zoey wanted to see him, she was supposed to come here now. He was surprised that they even let her see him at all, but he supposed he was her brother. Brady was exhausted, and still angry about last night's fight on the stupid gossip blog. Why the hell hadn't Dean told him first? Why had Nate, Jackson, and Tommy known first? Dean seemed to be pissing Brady off a lot... Apparently it was Dean's new favorite hobby. The problem was, Brady did not like the idea of Zoey dating Dean. He felt like Dean would hurt her in the end and he was not down with that match up at all. Then again, he doubted he'd be down with any of her "lovers". That was the big brother thing to do, right?

Brady Elliot Richardson, or Brady Drama King Richardson as Nate put it, got dressed and avoided Jax at all costs. Jax had roughed him up a bit, not enough to truly hurt him, but enough to scare him last night. Jackson had not been proud of Brady's behavior on the gossip blog last night but Brady still felt justified in what he had said. Maybe he'd crossed the line with Stella, but he felt justified in everything else, even with Tommy. Mostly Nate though. Nate was beginning to act like an adult, constantly, and Brady didn't like it. Nateface was the furthest thing from an adult but he was acting like he was in charge. Brady wanted to punch him in the throat. He almost bet he could get away with it, because Nate was tiny and had told Brady over and over that he was no fighter. Nate didn't fight. He got in people's faces but Nate had never been the guy to punch someone. Nate just wasn't like that... Brady usually wasn't but he was just so angry all the time. Plus, Dean hadn't trusted him enough to tell him straight up what was going on between his sister and him. Dean had gotten the rest of the furious five on his side because he felt threatened by Brady. Brady wanted to be able to say he wouldn't have been mad if Dean had done it that way but something told him he would've reacted that way no matter what. He was still angry about it, but he'd gotten Zoey to break up with Dean so he felt all was well... Until he saw Nate's post on the gossip blog. Nate had convinced her to get back with Dean. Fuck. She had undermined his authority? What the fuck?

Brady walked to school, before Jackson was even down the stairs. Brady didn't want to even look at him today because he knew Jax was disappointed in him. He didn't want to disappoint anybody, least of all Tommy or Jackson, the two absolutely most caring in the group. He was going to disappoint them again today because he was going to yell at Zoey some more. Well, not necessarily yell, but he was going to make sure she broke it up with Dean for good. The boys couldn't hide her from him forever. That was physically impossible. They couldn't hide her at school. He didn't bring any of his stuff because he was sure he was going to get sent home by the teachers because even if he didn't want it to, he was sure it was going to turn into a fight, because one of the boys would be close. When he found her, he was right. Nate was walking right next to her. RIGHT next to her in pink. Yeah. Brady could take the midget. He walked across the hall, the school was still empty for the most part... So this fight wouldn't cause a scene.

Brady spoke, "So is the deal off then Zoey? You know we're going to fight, right? You told me you'd leave him and now you're suddenly back together with him? Hell no. Just drop him Zoey."

Nateface was not happy with Brady Elliot Richardson. The kid had tried to break up one of the world's cutest couples and then had yelled at Nateface's girlfriend. Not fucking okay. He wasn't happy about the whole cussing out thing. Stellarella had not deserved that cussing out and Zoey and Dean were practically meant to be. Nateface was having a hard time not going over to the Madison household and kicking Brady's teeth in. He was having a hard time controlling himself and keeping his emotions in check. He was just so mad. The anger was boiling hot and he doubted he would be able to keep his emotions in check if he saw Brady. It was a damn good thing that Nate didn't share any classes with the kid. Jackson was patient and Nate was just glad that Brady had moved in with Jax and not him, because Nathan would have killed Brady by now. He already wanted to. Nathan looked through his clothes and went for colorful. He was going to show off his arms a little bit today for Stella's benefit. He grabbed his new supras, which were pink, and slipped them on with a hell of a lot of struggling. He was still on his crutches from his knee incident.

Nathan slowly lowered himself from his bed to his floor and half crawled to grab his backpack and his crutches. He stood up and slipped one arm through one of his crutches and then threw his backpack over his shoulder. He almost lost his balance but then caught himself. He slipped his other arm through the crutch and then made his way down the hall. He had to sleep in the guest room because his parents refused to let him sleep in the basement, where his real room was. Nate didn't really like the guest room but he put up with it because his parents were dead set on him sleeping in it. They were already upset that he'd broken his knee in the first place. He sat down at the table and his parents and him discussed Nate's drama over breakfast. He didn't really want to talk about it but he did anyways because he didn't want to shut his parents out of his life. They were important to him. He wanted to go to the hospital to visit his gran and tell her all about his life and how Brady needed to be better. He wanted advice on how to proceed. Nateface O'Keefe wanted to help Brady Richardson. He wanted the detox to be over with because he was sick of Brady treating everyone like shit.

Nathan's parents gave him a ride. He usually walked but since he was on crutches, they now drove him. They told him they would until he was off crutches for three weeks. They dropped him off up front and he found Zoey almost immediately. As they started just walking (well, he was crutching) and just talking, he looked over and saw Brady walking over to them like an angry bull. He rolled his eyes and immediately maneuvered right in front of Zoey. "Whoa boy. Where you get off talking to your sister like that? Stop being a fucking asshole. Open up your damn eyes. Don't talk to Zoey until you're detoxed. Remember that? I banned you from talking to your sister. You can't talk to her. Just get the fuck out of our faces. Zoey's my little sister until you can figure out where the real Brady is again. I miss him. Just back the fuck off. Go chill out somewhere but leave Zoey and Stella alone. You don't talk to girls like that, ever. You really gonna pick a fight with a cripple?"
