[Chapter 10] Joining the Army

-Anthony's POV-

All of us guys were playing video games in the gaming room like we always do. Pewds got a new game and we were all trying it out.

"So, I want your guys's opinion on something." Pewdiepie shouted over the explosions and gun-firing of the video game.

Joey paused the game, "What's up, Pewds?"

He took in a big breath, "I'm thinking about enlisting in the army."

"Awesome!" Ian smirked.

"Not awesome!" Joey remarked, flashing an evil glare at Ian. He turned back to Pewds. "Why would you want to leave?"

He shook his head, "It's been really hard for me to see Marzia ever since we broke up. And enlisting in the army will ensure me a good distance away from her."

"But, we have everything here we could ever want!" I nodded my head in agreement, Joey made a really good point. Being here, in Theresa's care, is probably the best thing we've ever had, why would you want to give it up?

"Dude, without Marzia, I don't give a fuck about anything. All I know is that if I stay here any longer, I'm going to go insane with the madness she's putting me through."

Joey sighed, "You know what, Pewds? If you're going to enlist in the army, so will I."

"Really?" Pewdiepie perked up, sitting taller in his black, leather recliner that we all had.

Joey shook his head, "We're brothers, we all are." He glanced back at Ian and me, because he and Pewds were in the front row. "And we stick together, through thick and thin."

The corner of Pewds's lips curled up into a smile.

"Me too!" Ian joined in.

They all turned to me, "How about you?" Ian asked, "You seem really quiet. Quieter than usual, that is."

I cringed. I knew what he was talking about, and I didn't really want to answer. Don't get me wrong, I love these guys as if we were biological brothers, but I wasn't ready to join the army. I'm not physically fit enough, or have enough willpower.

"What?" I croaked.

"Are you going to join us in enlisting for the army?" Ian retorted.

My mouth opened to say something, but nothing came out.

"Come on, bro." Pewds stated, "It's a simple yes or no question."

I gulped, "Look, I love you guys like a brother. And I want to stick with you guys. But I've got Giovanna, and I don't want to leave her."

They all started laughing their heads off.

"What's so funny?" I questioned.

"You don't know about it?" Joey inquired.

"Know about what!?!" I was getting frustrated. What did I not know about? And what would it have to do with Giovanna?

"The way that Shane guy acts around her." Ian answered me with a look of disbelief on his face as if he was surprised I hadn't heard this news earlier. "He's been doing it ever since he came here and met her."

"What do you mean?" I seriously thought these guys were messing with me.

Joey laughed, "You know, his googly eyes when he's around her. His willingness to help her clean."

"That's his job." I reminded them. "He's a butler. Hell, he isn't even really a butler. He's a male maid."

"I even heard he kissed her." Pewds added.

"WHAT!?!" I shot up out of my chair, dropping my gaming controllers and headset onto the floor. They've got to be fucking kidding me.

"Yeah. I heard they were talking in the old part of the house, and then he planted a kiss on her lips." Joey said with a smile.

"That bastard!" I shouted as I ran out of the room.

"SHANE!" I shouted, bolting through the halls and down the stairs all the way down to the basement. "SHANE!"

He walked out of his room, "Yeah? What do you need Anthony?"

I didn't even answer him, I just brought my fist up in the air and swung at him. He hit the wall and fell to the floor.

"What did I do?" He asked, weakly putting his hands up in pathetic defense.

I clenched onto his uniform's collar and brought him back up (taking almost all of my strength). "Why the fuck did I hear you've been hitting on Giovanna?"

"What the fuck are you talking about?" He replied, weakly trying to break my hold on him.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, bitch."

"Put me down and I'll explain it all." He counteracted.

I rolled my eyes and put him back on the ground, only to be fooled as he ran away. "Shit." I remarked under my breath as I began to chase after him.

Before I could reach the stairs, where I last saw him flee, I was stopped by Helena. "My dear boy, what are you up to?"

"I need to stop that little motherfucker!" I shouted, extending my hand out to where he went.

"Language, Anthony." She demanded. "Now please, tell me what happened."

"Nothing, Helena, can you just please let me go?" I begged.

"No. Because I know you're a fighter and I can see it in your eyes you're about to pounce on someone. So please explain this situation to me."

I sighed and crossed my arms. I explained to her what I was told in the game room and how I was going to deal with him.

"No no no!" She exclaimed as she slapped my arm, "That is not the way to settle things!"

"You're not a boy, Helena." I reminded her grimly. "Now if you don't mind, I'd like to go talk to him." I lied to her.

She put her hands on her hips, "I suppose so."

"Thank you." I hugged her quickly and ran to find that guy and give him a piece of my mind.

I found him hiding in the laundry room curled up in a ball in the corner. I smiled evilly and punched my fist into my hand. "You're going to die, Shane." And I started to punch him and kick him and just torture him for trying to steal Giovanna from me.
