Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 34
Emma's POV “Gray and Lily are acting weird.” I told Chase. “Is that so?” He asked, seeming so unconcerned. “Yeah. I wanted to sit by them and they were so hostile.” Replaying it in my head made me almost want to cry. Heartbreaks were bad, but friendship breakups too were somewhere on that list of things that could make someone go mad. “Did they say anything?” Gray asked. “Anything like what?” I had a sneaky feeling that he knew something, but Chase wasn't a really readable person. “I don't know. Something out of the ordinary?” He asked. . He was so engrossed in his food, one would've thought that it wasn't his best friend we were talking about. “Their whole freaking attitude was. That's the exact fucking thing I'm saying.” His ‘I don't care’ attitude was getting on my nerves. I was already on the verge of tears, and he wasn't helping matters. “Just go somewhere else.” I said. “And you're complaining about Gray and her?” Chases rarely ever called Lily by h

Emma's POV Chase came and sat right next to me as I predicted. Lily still didn't move a finger “What's going on?” I whispered in her ear. “I don't want to talk right now.” She said back. “Why?” I asked her. “Cause we're in class?” She sounded quite sassy, but I wasn't ready to back down. Just then, Jessica passed by. “Man and wife, bitch and man.” She said, Grayson was sitting on one end, Lily followed, I did, then Chase. I didn't need to be told that she was referring to me. Shockingly, Gray acknowledged her. I looked at Chase to check if he saw the exchange they had just happened, and I confirmed he did. His look wasn't pleasant. “What's going on man?” I read the note he passed to me and looked at him. “Pass it on to Gray.” He said. I passed it to Gray, boycotting Lily. I doubt she would touch anything Chase touched even with the longest of spoons. Gray passed the paper back through Lily who gave me when she could have reached for Chase directly. I sent

Emma's POV “Still going out with me?” Chase popped his head in my room and asked I had long stopped bolting my door. It didn't stop anything. Every single time I tried to do it, thinking it would keep me away from Chase, it only brought me closer to him. I'd overthink myself into unlocking the door again. “That's the most hideous hat I ever saw.” I joked with him. “There's more where it came from.” He responded. He was obviously in a better mood, and it was good, for me. “I'm sorry about earlier.” I apologized, getting out of bed. “That's alright. I'm the villain in every story. Hurry up before I show you why that is.” He joked with a little wink. Chase was crazy, there was no going back about it. “Alright.” I replied, laughing. “Would you like me to watch, or you'd rather I stayed out in the cold?” He asked, with a very exaggerated sense of need. “I'd rather you froze over than watch me get dressed.” I replied to him. . He made a very funny disappointed fa

Emma's POV “Emma, all you're being right now is irrational.” Chase said as he parked in his dads garage.He had a bit of trouble trying to reverse and park in a garage which contained no less than ten luxury cars. “I can't remember asking for your opinion.” I replied to him. “You don't have to. I literally told you what happened and now it somehow comes back to bite me in the ass.” He said. “Chase, please just park and let me get out.” I replied. “Emma, please.” He said, turning the engine off. “I never should have told you anything.” “Is that an attempt at making me pity you?” I asked him. I wasn't feeling the game he was playing. All I wanted was to be alone. The next day, we were gonna be taking pictures in our uniform for the school yearbook. I needed to rest and breathe if I was going to be amongst people who thought I was a killer. I can't believe the whole school walked about seeing me like that. “You can run, Emma.” You can't hide. I went up still, not

Emma's POV I wasn't going to let their disrespect slide anymore. She most likely already heard my voicemail, and still didn't reply to me. “Lily, don't you think you're being a little too bitchy.” I said, dragging her back by the shoulders. “Take your hands off her.” Gray turned back and screamed at me. We were causing a scene as students had begun to gather to watch us in the hallway. “Shut the fuck up.” Lily's tiny voice boomed through the air. But she wasn't referring to me, she was talking to Chase.I stood aside and let them battle their shit out. “You're a fucking liar. A fucking cheat. You said she meant nothing to you.” Lily screamed at him. “Lily. Come on. This isn't even the place for this. We're causing a scene. Let's talk somewhere else.” I could see the guilt in Chase's eyes. Lily kept crying and sobbing and speaking incoherently. I wanted to hold her, but I didn't know how she'd react, so I stayed put. Her hair was already disheveled. She launched a

Chase's POV Emma was avoiding me, and I got it. I finally told my infatuated self that it was probably time to step back a bit. So I played her game well. I didn't want to have to sit among the many people who I knew never liked me. Almost all the friendships I ever had were false or forced, and I was used to that. I barely had anyone genuine till... I stayed in classes throughout lunch break, waiting for the day to end so I could go back to my meaningless and purposeless life. It was about ten minutes till the next class when I started hearing noise and commotion in the walkway. I wanted to sit it out as there was always something like that in a school where everyone wanted power and fame. I let it go on for another five minutes, when I heard Gray scream Emma's name. I stood up and went to where everyone was gathered, which was obviously where they had their fight. The show was over, but their audience was still thrilled and happy. Saying all sorts of things about Gray, and

Lily's POV I probably seem like the bad guy in the story. But as always, I don't care, I never cared. I hadn't gotten past blaming my parents' very messy divorce for my misdemeanors. We had court hearings almost every other week. Like it wasn't bad enough, my dad always brought along our step siblings. I hated the whole idea of it. I know I came off as a child when I always asked them why they didn't just split and handle their shit on their own, but it was all really just annoying. Strangers who, for all who knows, might have a messy family issue themselves sitting to judge my family. I made enemies of all the attorneys and judges, for and against. I just decided I had had enough of it all, and decided to visit a private bar. I thought it was the drink when I saw someone who looked like Chase come in, so I didn't bother looking too much, for fear I'd embarrass the person. “Has to be him.” I said to myself. He did what my baby brother called ‘violent drinking’. Shot after

Emma's POV I literally thought my whole life had turned upside down, but it was the beginning of the mending of many of my relationships. First, with Lily. I sat far away from her in class, among the ‘zeros’, as Lily called them. People who had little to no appeal. I had begun to feel that way either way. Someone passed me a note. I saw Lily's poorly drawn heart shape on it and laughed. “I'm sorry, Emma.” The note read. “I didn't mean for that to happen. You're a really pretty girl, you can't blame me so much.” She drew a very funny face next to it. I was still baffled, but I liked the fact that she was making a joke out of it. It made the air feel less tense. “It really caught me unawares.” I replied to her and sent it back. People were already looking at us and wondering how we were talking and laughing and exchanging notes barely an hour after the showdown in the lobby. “I know. I'm so sorry. It's messing with me again.” She wrote with a tear faced badly drawn man ne

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

Kevin’s POV “Hey.” I said as I let Emma in. “I wasn't expecting you here.” “I could go if it's not convenient for you.” She stuttered, buckling under the pressure of my piercing, unfriendly green eyes. I left Emma's the night before, feeling really shittyFor over a month, I'd been trying to make her see reasons to let go of the animal she once called her man.Emma was clearly still with him, in her head at least, all the jokes I made, all the stories I told, all the giggles weren't in the least entertaining to her. She took a break to even call her mom, and still didn't come back feeling any better. I gathered what was left of my dignity, pressed a kiss to her forehead and let myself out. I thought I had made a stupid decision till I saw her at my door. But I wasn't gonna be cowered easily either. She'd treated me unfriendly too, and I wanted to let her know. “I work round the clock, nothing is ever really convenient, I just make time for stuff.” I replied to her. I saw

Emma's POV “I thought Kevin said he was gonna be staying over at yours last night?” Casey asked as we made our way through the teeming crowd of students. Everyone was hurrying off to class, but Casey and I were yet to catch the buzz and rush, and we might never, cause I never saw Casey follow the crowd. She stood out, and did it quite well. “Plans change, don't they?” I smiled, trying to evade the conversation. “Emma, you know you do not have to wear that mask with me. It's old and rumpled and I can really already see through it.” Casey said, and stopped walking. “We're gonna be late!” I screamed at her as she paused in her tracks. A guy on skateboard hit her, and she quickly flung curse words at him. “Em, you look miserable.” She said, “What went wrong, really?” “Why do you care so much?” I snapped at her. “Matter of fact, I think that's the wrong question. “Who do you care about, really? Kevin or I?” I asked, looking straight in her eyes. Casey was rough on the e

Chase's POV “How are you now?” I called Kayla later at night. It'd been three weeks since I stepped into the Harvard campus, and not one day in those weeks passed, without being a reminder of how miserable I was. I didn't want to keep a stack of enemies, girls who'd resent me for life, so I had to make sure I ironed shit with her out. “Do you really care, or is this some courtesy call?” Kayla's voice danced somewhere in between icy and sexy. It wasn't all daggers and spears, but she wasn't candy and sweets either. At least she wasn't so mad anymore. “I'm sorry, I should've known better. Should've treated you better.” I said. “Do you mean to say these words to me, or you're just projecting?” I asked. “I do, Kayla. I know you deserve honesty, and that's all I've been trying to be with you. You of all people should know it hurts.” “I can try.” She murmured, I like the fact that I was breaking her ice. “Thank you.” I said, taking a deep breath. “Is that all?” Sh

Emma’s POV “Why were you so lost?” Kevin asked after drinking the water handed to him. “Is something bothering you?” He asked. “It was just me in my head.” I deflected, brushing past his naked torso to get out of my little kitchen. “I saw that.” He smiled, “I'm just saying I want to be let in.” He added. “You're tired, Kev. You should get some rest.” I fell into my favorite chair. “Not too tired for you, Em, obviously. Let me in.” He said. Kevin looked so tempting, so sweet, and he was nice to top it off. “I'm just confused, Kev.” I confessed. “Although I really do not know if this is what you're supposed to be doing, you ought to be resting.” “Emma there's nothing like supposing when you're right here. I'm here, you're here, you're bothered, Em, I'm automatically all ears. Don't spare me and don't spare yourself.” “You're too nice for your own good.” I said, smiling sadly. “I don't think that's true.” He replied to me. I was only too grateful that he coul

Chase's POV “I deserve whatever tone, really.” I replied to Kayla. She'd been avoiding me so purposefully since that morning. At first, I was cool with it and deemed it as necessary, but then, it became too glaring too obvious. “I don't think you want to be seen talking to me.” it's the last thing she said before looking back at the professor who was scribbling some jargon. I decided to wait the class out. If I wanted to break the ice, I'd have to do it properly. Kayla and I took all our classes together, how I ended things might not have been the appropriate way. “Thanks man.” I said to a guy who made way for me as I squeezed through to get Kayla. “I used to run back in middle school.” I said as I caught up with her “What has that got to do with me?” She asked in a really icy tone “I'm just saying you can't outrun me, even if you wanted to.” I said, smiling. “Point taken.” She said, and branched off abruptly, and I immediately caught up with her “Kayla, ple

Emma's POV “Last I heard, he said he was gonna be back today.” Casey offered unasked as I stared at a couple making out in the hallway.. “Jeez, Casey.” I exclaimed. “Take it easy on me.” “Don't act like you don't miss him.” She laughed. “Do I need to affirm it every two seconds?” I asked, sarcastically. “No. I was just giving an honest reminder.” She said, “Well, it was unsolicited.” I shot back at her. “I guess I'm just gonna be excited on your behalf.” She said,, stubbornly. “Why do you want me for him so bad?” I asked her. We were on our way home, and so I felt if I could hold her up till I got to my apartment, I wouldn't need to admit to how I'd been counting down the minutes till Kevin's plane landed in Massachusetts. It's why I hated being close to anyone. I get too attached, for my own good. As expected, I held on long enough till we got to my apartment, so I didn't have to admit anything to her. “I'll talk to you later, red head.” I took a handful

Chase's POV “How was your night?” I asked Kayla as she emerged from my room. I forgot to offer her some change of clothes, for which I felt bad. “Not bad.” She smiled. Kayla looked as pretty, both in bed and out of bed. She didn't have the ugly morning face I'd seen on so many other girls. “How do you feel now?” I asked. “Better.” she beamed, “Thank you for having me over.” “That's alright.” I said. “I made coffee.” “Oh, I used to drink that.” She sank into the char next to mine. “You didn't look like you caught much sleep yourself.” She said, pointing to my droopy, but sharp eyes. “I tried.” I admitted. “What's up?” She asked, looking concerned. “You might wanna grab your coffee.” I deflected. “I'll get it for you.” I said instead.. She sat still, and I took it out of the coffee maker, and poured it into some tea cups. “This looks strong.” She said, taking a generous sniff of it. “And smells strong too.” “Is it too much?” I asked. “It's just h

Emma's POV “Are you trying to say I can't have both you and Kev at the same time?” I asked Casey as she showed up to my apartment the morning after Kev left. “Hi baby.” She smiled widely, exposing her pretty set of teeth and additional piercings she'd gotten. “How was Chicago?” I asked her, slapping her across the butt playfully. “It was great.” She looked like she was half drunk, cause she was smiling way too much. “You look like it.”I replied. Casey headed straight for my bed and bounced on it. “That took all morning.” I said sadly. “Well, there's another morning in about twenty four hours.” She laughed. “There are at least eight more piercings I see in there.” I joked at her smile. “It's just two.” She laughed. “Eight is the number of guys I fucked there. What have you been up to?” “I don't know, really.” I replied to her. “It's been here and there.” “Tell me about Chase.” She bolted up, smiling. “Wait, is that his name?” She asked. “Yeah, Chasi
