Declan

I feel bad after Bree all but runs to the bathroom. I feel especially bad when Greg looks at me from across the room, his eyes shooting to the bathroom door, then back at me before running his finger across his neck like he’s slicing someone’s throat. Jesus Christ.

Does Bree not realize that she has a family here? It’s not conventional, by any means, but it’s pretty obvious that’s exactly what this group is. I notice Quinn following her to the bathroom, and I walk closer to that end of the bar to try to watch him. He pauses at the door, and gives me a chin lift, his mouth formed into an evil smirk, before he walks in. It takes everything in me to not leap over the bar top and follow him in. I try to listen, but I can’t hear anything. I don’t think Bree’s in any danger but Quinn following her into the ladies’ room makes no sense to me. He comes back out no more than 2 minutes later, and gives me a look that would make a lesser man cower. I stare right back into his eyes. I’ve already lived with the devil; there isn’t much anyone else can do that will scare me. His eyes seem slightly glazed and his hands are clenching and unclenching as he finally breaks our staring contest to walk away.

Bree walks back behind the bar, and I feel like I need to do something to lighten the mood, so I look around. Then, I see Jake and, if it were possible, a light bulb would have lit up over my head. I mash my lips together trying to hide my devious grin and decide that the ass kicking I’m going to get is worth it.

“Hey, Lord Pussy Magnet!” I shout over the noise of people partying and music playing. Once Jake’s horrendous high school nickname leaves my lips, it’s like a scene from a movie where the music stops and everyone just stares at me. The majority of people are looking around, trying figure out who exactly ‘Lord Pussy Magnet’ is. My eyes scan the room until I find my brother’s blonde faux hawk.

Jake’s head snaps up, and he glowers as he walks toward me. “We had this conversation, Declan,” he seethes almost under his breath. “That nickname is dead.”

“Right, but as you're my only blood related family member left, it is my job, nay my privilege, to make sure that the truth is passed on throughout history, from generation to generation.” My smile is all teeth.

Jake’s face is getting redder by the second, and I am absolutely delighted. I turn to look at Bree, who walks closer to where we are standing. I’m leaning down on the bar, resting on my elbows, and Jake is standing directly in front of me on the other side of the bar. His face is pink, and his eyes are sending me all kinds of telepathic death threats, which I am completely ignoring.
