Emma's POV

After Chase and Jessica had their big blow out, my life somewhat changed.

The evil pumpkin who used to bully Lily and I suddenly turned our ally. Rumors even had it that their fight was over Lily and I.

I didn't know what to make of it, but it was glaring that they were no longer on good terms, and it was a good thing, kinda.

We still had Chase's attention, just not in the way we were used to. Lily was beginning to get worried, but I was long worried.

He had even begun to act nice to my mom and his dad, and he was home more frequently.

The upcoming senior trip seemed to take everyone's mind away from the existing beef, and I liked it.

Lily and I were already talking about all the funny outfits we'd buy. We were going for DIFFERENT.

She had also begun to feel bold enough to start sleeping over at times. I was happy to have someone I could really talk to in Mark's house.

“So are you gonna come later this evening? Let's go shopping in that boutique you mentioned.” I

    Emma's POV Jessica kept on looking at us. And I was already getting very uncomfortable. I picked clothes I didn't need just to get my mind off her. Unfortunately, as I expected, she began to walk in our direction. Jessica walked up to me, slammed the clothes out if my hands turned right back to meet someone on the queue and walked out. Lily, Grayson, who was far behind, and Chase just stared on as I picked all the clothes she poured. “I'm sorry.” Lily said. I was red hot and teary. If I attempted to speak, I definitely would have burst out in tears. I put all the clothes back on their racks. There was one Jessica stepped on, I knew I had to pay for that. “Keys.” I said to Lily, stretching my hand.In her confusion she gave me her house keys. “Your car.” I said, holding her keys back for her to take. She clumsily took it and handed me her car keys. I went right out to wait in her car and cried my eyes out while waiting for them to finish up. Lily was feeling bad for

    Emma's POV The look Lily finally settled for scared the shit out of me. She looked at me like I said I had been kissed by an ogre. I was starting to feel worse than I should. “Chase kissed you?” She asked again. “Yes. And please stop being so loud. They can almost hear us.” I was referring to Gray and Chase who were just a few feet away. “You should know better than that, Emma.” Lily sounded so off, I felt like I had pissed her. But it really shouldn't have been such a big deal. Lily was blowing it out of proportions, and it hurt. “What if it was a dare? Or a bet?” People got together for all sorts of things. But there was a high possibility of that, something I never thought about. “It can't be.” I said, unconvincing. I didn't even believe in myself. “Alright, Missy. Whatever sinks your ship.” Lily said rudely, flashed a smile at Gray who was already looking at us funny and focused on getting us home. We drove all the way in silence. Lily was somewhat stiff, bu

    Chase's POV Emma tried so hard to avoid me throughout the first day of the trip. She stayed as far as she could away from me at the museum. Unfortunately, I was staying with Jessica too, cause we already booked the accommodation about three months before the trip. Jessica was throwing herself at me as shamelessly and annoyingly as she could. “Do you have more clothes?” I asked as she walked into the other room in my suite which was supposed to be mine. “I do. But I'm dressing for the occasion.” She replied, smiling very coyly “What the fuck does that even mean?” I asked her. I was quickly getting pissed. She could've been more covered in a bikini. All Jessica had on was a thong and socks. “Chase, do act like you don't see what I'm trying to do.” She said. “I don't! Please tell me what it is” I yelled at her. She was taken aback, but not for long. “You apologized, for, you know, the stupid shit you pulled by slapping me in the public. Let's just say this is me fo

    Chase’s POV “I used to be a two ladies man.” Fred said. “It sounds so dumb to me when I say it now, but I really did believe it then.” “What changed?” I asked him. “I see you're impatient, just like the old me. Matter of fact, you remind me of myself as the seconds pass. “I don't know if that is a compliment.” I responded. “Oh, it is. You're finding yourself, it sure is.” Fred replied. “It took a couple of STDs to quit it, and seeing her broken too. I infected her a couple of times, so she decided to call it quits.I broke down for two months. My man here held the business for me. Then I went clean. “That's fucked up man. I feel so bad for her.” I replied to him. “Well, that was her from the past. She's with a man who breathes her exhale, and eats off the palm of her hands.” He said proudly. “All you're doing is rubbing it in my face.” I replied to him. “I don't mean to, young man. All I'm saying is, I don't even know what I'm saying, I just want to get out o

    Chase's POV I was hard as a rock when I left Emma's room. I had never walked out on a temptation that hard before. I’ve had sex with almost all the girls, a statistic I used to be only too proud of until recently, strangely. I idled a bit in the lobby, waiting for my erection to go down. As soon as it started to wane, I straightened out and took the elevator downstairs. The elevator opened to Mr Rudd and Jessica kissing. I looked away, waiting for them to step out, which they did, embarrassingly. I wasn't supposed to be annoyed at seeing Jessica with Mr Rudd, but somehow, I was. I got to the receptionist, and apparently the young lady who kept staring and smiling at me had ended her shift and was replaced by a man, who gruffly said there were no more rooms, muttering something about high schoolers and being used to having things their way. I took off my ID and headed straight for the bar. It was cup after cup, then bottle after bottle, I mourned everything I lost and stood t

    Emma's POV Chase was fucking mad. Like I hadn't had a bad day enough. All I wanted to do was eat and chill, before he dragged his stupid self to my room. I didn't know how to feel. I had never been with him alone, ever, not even at the house because he was barely home anyway. He kissed me and took me to the bed, only to lean over me to get his coat.My cheeks were red already, and so were my tits when I undressed to pleasure myself for the first time. He left me high and dry. As soon as he walked out of my room, I rushed to the door, and picked it. It didn't swing open till the next day, when it was time for our departure to heaven knows where. I didn't even open up for the waitress who brought my food up. He probably thought me too unattractive to continue. I threw all his flowers on the bin and put the chocolates in my bag, to give it out to children wherever I met them. As soon as he banged the door, my senses returned. The ones that left when I started to nurse thoughts o

    Chase's POV I was so mad at the stupid shit Jessica did. I was more angry at myself. I still couldn't believe I did it. I couldn't even face myself in the mirror. I looked like what I imagined my enemy to be. Jessica had bragging rights, not just over Emma, but me too. “Emma, I swear it was nothing.” I walked briskly towards her. Emma kept switching lanes, so did I. I forgot to catch the name of the orphanage, but the children were already looking at us weird. “Emma, please listen to me.” I begged her. Right in front of me, she took out the chocolates I gave her and handed them to the little girls who were staring at us. They thanked her chirpily and hid them away in their gowns. “That was weird, right?” She looked at me. “Yes.” I replied enthusiastically. At least she talked to me. “As I was saying…” “I'd rather talk to Jesic than talk to you.” Emma faced me abruptly and said. Jessica was literally her worst enemy. “Please, just hear me out.” I said.

    Emma's POV I didn't expect what Chase pulled After a long and eventful trip, all I wanted was to get back home to rest. Apparently, he had other plans, I still wasn't sure how I felt about him since that night. And the rumors throughout the day too were not helping matters. Chase changed the destination of our ride to an A class hotel I always heard the girls in school talk about. It was where most of them lost their virginity, the other few did in their rooms. It was always the top on every girl's list, and where they expected their boyfriends to take them to. I found it a bit cringe that it was the only place Chase could think of, but the ambience, location and grandeur of it answered all my questions. I decided to live in the moment and not think about how I really felt coming to a hotel with my step brother. Chase took my hand all the way, acting like the gentle man he wasn't. He looked really hot and sexy in a tuxedo. My train of thoughts derailed from safety to sex.

    Emma's POV. “You were gonna go in.” He said, looking away. “I was.” I replied, unshifting. He no longer had the courage to stare me down, and I no longer had the will to leave, “MIT looks good on you.” He said. “Thank you.” I smiled, “I could say the same for you.” “I see you've made new friends, well old ones,but you know…” He said. I chuckled within myself. Who'd have known that I could make the bad boy Chase unsure about me? “Yeah, I had no choice.” I murmured. “Uhm, how are you?” I asked, just out of courtesy, I told myself. I thought being brave and bold was gonna make me indestructible by him, but I was beginning to come off as antagonistic, and I didn't like it. Deep down, in the corners of my heart I hoped Kevin would never see, Chase occupied it. I wanted for him to close the distance between us like he'd once done. To treat me like his own. I was getting a little teary, so I dug my freshly manicured nail into my palm, I wasn't gonna cry, I could not.

    Emma's POV “Come on, Patty can wait.” Kevin held me closer. I thought I heard someone enter, but Kevi didn't give me headroom, and I didn't want to distract him. “Anything else?” I asked jokingly, even though I really was so keen on getting back to Party. “Yeah, let's hang out a while.” He said. “Kev, today is the D-day, it's what we're here for. I kinda have to be there.” I protested. “Fine then.” He said, taking his arms away from around my waist. “Come on, Kev.” I pulled him back, “you are not and, are you?” I asked. “It just seems like things are a lot different than I felt they would be.” He replied, looking away. “What does that even mean?” I asked It was our first argument, and I didn't like it that it was happening at Mark's house. “Em, you're obviously with your family. I'm second place. I should've expected that. Maybe I'd have rethought traveling all the way here.” Kev smiled. “You don't mean that. Kev, we've literally been together, I only l

    Emma's POV Two days, with Kev and Chase the house wasn't what I thought it would be. Chase was barely available, and when he was, he made sure he was extremely busy. Kevin, too, worked in the room Patty had arranged for him, so they had no reasons to cross paths except dinner time. I had an extensive talk with my mom about Kevin. She still really wasn't feeling him, but she was glad I'd moved on from Chase, it was mixed emotions for her. “This is so good, Mr Norman.” He smiled at the wine Chase's dad asked Patty to get. “This old man knows good things when he sees one.” He looked glaringly at my mom, but she avoided his eyes. The air between them was still a little weird, but they had to put up a show, for the rest of us at least, who had bigger things going on. I'd spent two days feeling like shit for not forcing Casey to come along with me instead of Kevin. In my defense, he said he wanted to meet my mom and properly apologize for all that'd happened in Starry. It seemed l

    Patty's POV Emma and Kevin, as she called him, arrived without much fanfare. It'd been a minute since I saw her so happy. She wasn't my favorite person in the house, but I had grown to have a soft spot for her. “How are you, Patty?” She squealed and even threw her arms open. “I'm good.” I smiled. “Meet Kev.” She smiled, “Kev, here's Party. Mark's longest serving home manager.” “Nice to meet you Ma'am. You're in really good shape too.” The boy flashed his million dollar smile at me. He looked so good, the most pretty eye candy I'd seen in a while. “You're welcome, Kevin.” I said. “Everyone's inside.” Mark and Linda have been attending to the event planners that Chase had coming to the house. With his arm still in a sling, there was very little he could do without Linda's help. The air around them was a bit icy, but they made it work. I hoped for both of their sakes that they fix what was between them. At least he wasn't cheating on Linda with her friends like he d

    Chase's POV I'd still seriously been considering excuses for not showing up at the anniversary. It was six days to go. I woke up every morning to thoughts of it. Ding! Ding! My phone chimed. My phone was always on DND and only rang or chimed when it was someone on my favorites list messaging me. I still hadn't been able to bring myself to take Emma off the list. ‘Welcome everyone!’, A text on a new group chat read. I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes, and looked at it again. It was just my Dad, Emma, and I. “What is going on?” I asked him. I felt fear, annoyance and excitement. “Why the group?” I asked again. “Is that how you now greet your old man?” He asked. “Come on dad, I'm not having a good morning.” I said. “I need all hands on deck to give Linda the perfect first year anniversary, and you both are gonna help out, whether you like it or not!” He yelled at me. “What if something came up? A laboratory session I can't miss? Or a presentation?” I asked

    Emma's POV “What do you mean next week?!” I squealed as my mom broke the news to me. She and Mark were gonna be having their first anniversary in a week. “Yeah.” She breathed really deep. . “You don't sound too enthusiastic.” I observed. “Stuff has been going on, Em. Didn't want to bother you.” She replied to me. “Now I'm so bothered.” I replied to her. It's been over a week since Kev and I officially got out of the friendship zone. Kev was explicit with the fact that he wanted more than just to be friends, and I think we'd gone beyond that too. “I shot him.” She said, I felt like a bomb had just exploded in my head. This was the man who rescued us from the allegations in Starry. “What the fuck, mom?” I yelled over the phone. I was home, and currently the only one in my apartment, so I could tell as loudly and freely as I wanted to. Kevin had begun to spend more time over, although for the bulk of it, he was on his work laptop. “Don't use the f word with m

    Chase's POV “Don't ever think of that.” My dads voice boomed over the phone. “I'm young and still strong.” He boasted . I'd chipped in the possibility of him taking a break from his numerous businesses and just resting. “Why are you so anti-rest?” I asked. Me and the old man were only beginning to really get along. We were still fixing all the cracks in our relationship, carefully skipping over the lost pieces. “It's just not the time.” He groaned. We were on a video call. I saw his face squeezed every single time he had to lift his shot hand. “I've got a lot of stuff to make up to a lot of people.” He said. “You can't do that if you're dead.” I reminded him. “You sound just like your mother.” He smiled, and looked lost for a while, snapping back only when the glass mug I mistakenly knocked off made a loud crashing noise. “Linda's great too.” I said. “She's a good woman.” I chipped. “She is.” He agreed. Every morning I wake up, I bless my creator for giving he

    Kevin's POV It'd been a month since Em and I redecorated my place. I appreciated her help around the house. It was beginning to look more of a house than an office space. I'd convinced her multiple times, to stay over, let us enjoy what we'd created, but one thing or the other always up, and fucked the plan up. Plus I had to travel to multiple places, and I was mostly away for the month I just got back from Melbourne, and I think I had the most romantic gift for her. I'd curated a photo album, a cute little pink one containing all the pictures I ever took when we were working on the house together I also had a box of preserved roses. The old lady tried to force it down my throat, and I felt it was a bit too unnecessary till I discovered what it symbolizes. I had it all arranged in the new Nissan Versa car I'd parked in the garage of the apartment. I told her I was gonna come a day after I actually planned, and I tipped Casey off massively, to reveal that Emma had a little we

    Chase's POV “You say this is a smart thing to do?” I asked Kayla. “What do you think?” The poor girl was probably too tired of being in my drama. “Never mind.” I said. “I'll just do it later, I don't want the pressure.” “That means me.” She put a hand on her chest and nodded in understanding. “I get it.” “Don't take it that way.” I said, holding her close, “It'd just be too much for you, and I don't want that.” I said. “I get it.” She said, “I'll see you later then.” Kayla stayed in the dorms, so she wasn't gonna be going out with me. We've kinda restricted ourselves to just school, and sometime, I visited her dorm. She never came to my apartment. Said it was still too raw on her. “Take care.” I said, and let her go. We were done for the day, and it was already almost evening. I decided to stroll back to my place, since there was nothing to rush home to. “What's up?” A bold girl said, looking at me and batting her eyelashes. That was literally the last atten
