Third Person POV

Brielle finished getting dressed and she sighed as she looked out of the window. It was pouring rain and this weather in the city was never a good thing. The traffic was terrible, the people were more rude than usual and the worse part was-

She closed her eyes and winced once she heard the harsh coughs of Delilah in her room followed by a series of sneezes.

-Delilah. Every time it rained or snowed a little too much, her immune system would act non existent and she would catch every little disease or cold known to man. Walking out of her room she went over to Delilah's and opened the door slowly. There she saw the little girl sitting up in her bed with a red nose and bloodshot eyes. She made eye contact with her and Delilah raised her arms as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. Brielle quickly rushed over to her and picked her up. Her body was hot but she was shivering.

" B-B-Bribri.. I-I's no f-feel good. " Brielle shushed her as she sat on the bed cradling her in

    Third Person POV" Who's Eugene? "Brielle froze in her place as she all of a sudden felt lightheaded. She looked up at Killian who was analyzing her shift in mood and waited patiently for her to respond. " He's... my brother. I don't like talking about him much because Delilah will ask questions and that leads to me.. trying not to break down a few minutes later. "" I've never heard you mention him once since we've been around each other. What happened if you don't mind me asking. "" He went to the army when I was 16 and he's never been home since. He used to call twice a month maybe even three times to make sure I was ok but after a few years the calls got slower and eventually he just stopped. It's been almost a year and I haven't heard from him once. " Brielle said and she couldn't help the small tear that escaped her eye. Killian continued to stare at her and eventually more fell. He felt himself wanting to move to wipe them away but she shook her head." I'm sorry " She whisp

    Killian's POVWalking into the penthouse I sighed as I looked at the time. I'd sent Brielle and Delilah here a while ago while we were at the office and I knew she was still upset. I wish I could say she was wrong for being upset but she has every right to be. Placing my briefcase on the counter, I heard the footsteps of Benjamin and he came and stood by me not saying a word. I looked him in the eye and I could tell he knew what happened." I'm not in the mood for it tonight Benjamin. "" I could say the same for myself but if I leave you alone you might do something wrong again. "" I'm sure I will. " I said rolling my eyes and he grabbed my things and shrugged." She's been in the living room ever since she put the little one to bed. Stop by and have a chat with her will you? " He walked away and I sighed as I made my way to my bedroom. Pushing the door open I quickly took my clothes off and jumped into the shower. Finishing off after a while, I got dressed in a pair of grey joggers

    Killian's POVI waited by the stairs as Brielle was almost finished getting ready. I was planning on taking her to a restaurant named Midnight Lotus. Sure an appetizer costs around $200 and a reservation itself is $300 but I couldn't think of a better place to take her. Also I own the establishment so we'll be at an advantage with reservation schedules and meal preps. Looking down to my phone I sighed as Calvin sent me a message.Lockewood: Hello Killian. I've noticed you've been avoiding my calls.. no matter. I want to formally invite you to my son's gala this Friday as it would make me very please if you and Brielle were to come. I'm sure Blaine has already informed you of this since I sent him the invitations. And if you come.. I'm sure I'll have enough surprises to make your time worthwhile.. TataI rolled my eyes and screenshotted the message while sending it to Blaine." Such a fucking idiot. " I muttered and my head snapped when I heard some tsk." Bad word Killy " I looked to

    Killian's POVI pushed my semi wet hair out of my face as I made my way to the kitchen. Tonight was very interesting. All throughout the rest of the night Brielle kept her 'anger' at a minimum and we actually enjoyed ourselves for the time being. Once we got back to the penthouse she quickly got unready in her room and has been in the living room ever since. I didn't exactly want to bring up the conversation earlier with her but it's never left my mind once.Brielle doesn't need a boyfriend. She needs a man and the small commitment of being a boyfriend emphasizes the word boy and friend. Your not a man and your never quite over the line of being a really good friend. It was clear that I wasn't some boy and I didn't want to be just friends. We've never been friends in my mind. She's only been mine.I've never had female friends. It would either lead to a one way relationship or others thinking I was in the friendzone or desperate. I don't intend to be either with Brielle. Hence why she

Brielle stood still as she felt her blood go cold. She stepped back from Marissa's embrace and before she could attempt to say another word, Calvin walked over with a smile on his face." I see you've met my date Marissa.. " He said and Brielle inched closer to Killian who in return wrapped his arm around her. Marissa furrowed her eyebrows as she tilted her head."

He took a sip of his coffee and barely noticed Brielle as she walked to the other side of the counter and placed her hands on the edge." Hello Blaine. " He jumped as he almost spit his coffee out and he quickly shut his laptop. He coughed as he tried to looked normal and Brielle chuckled." What ya working on? "" Just some important information I've been collecting for Killian. " He responded." I'm guessing this is the same thing you two were whispering about yesterday in front of me and judging by the way you closed the laptop so fast when you saw me, I'm assuming I can't know about this information. "" You're quite the guesser. " He smirked and they heard a tiny gasp." UNCLE BLAINEY!!

    Brielle's POV4 Years AgoI stepped into what used to be my parents home and threw my bag onto the counter. I had a long early shift and as much as Mr. Burkley didn't want me to stay extra, I had to. I need the hours and I couldn't do without them. My parents stopped paying the bills of the house the second I turned 18, which was last month and now they're just piling up. I've been thinking of moving to a smaller place and selling this house since it's obvious they don't want it anymore and it gets way to lonely at times.I took a seat on my crying chair which was in living room and contemplated if I felt like letting go right now. This chair used to be Eugene's favorite before he left to go overseas. My parents wanted to get rid of it but I could never let them. I still roam around his room hoping I would open the door and to find him sitting on the bed... sadly, it never happens.I cry too much and it gets to the point where my heart feels so heavy but I don't have any tears left.

No but I do know that you're trying to get involved with my and Brielle's life and I want you to stay out of it. "" You mean just like how you've stayed out of her life for the past few years?
