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

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
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 154
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
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 149
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
