Kevin's POV

I wasn't proud to tell anyone why Mom had moved us across the country. But it was supposed to be a fresh start.

I promised I wasn't going to get entangled, which is also partly why we were attending a private school.

A lot of the girls there were unlike what they appeared. Meek in school, but quite raw and crude beyond the four walls of Royal Province High.

Unfortunately, though, the whole thing was beginning to look like rinse and repeat.

I can't deny my attraction to most girls, and I am so stupid that I always play along with it.

“Do you agree, Mr Holden?” The gruff voice interrupted my musings.

“Yeah.” I replied. I had no strength to deny anything. There was no point. I had a record. It's why we moved uptown.

“We would like to have your statement now.” He said. Monica was instructed to go out and wait while they took my statement.

“We want to know what happened.” The kind woman across the desk, seated next to ‘Gruff Voice’ said.

    Emma's POV “Mom!” I screamed as soon as Kevin jumped off my mom's moving car. It was a day that would never leave memory. A lot of fucked up things were happening. Just when I thought the day had ended, that had to happen. And in fact, it was the worst of all. Mom helped me with Kevin. After we got him tucked at the back, she jumped on the driver's seat and turned right back, headed for the hospital. It was about to be far too messy and we all knew it. Just when we thought we were done with the police. Hopefully, Kevin would be graceful enough to admit that he jumped out on purpose rather than let my mom take the hit. I was thinking up so many ways it could end, and none of them were good. The only good part was that we didn't have to worry about money. As soon as we got there, Kevin was wheeled in and we were told to wait at the lobby. None of us insisted on going in with him because we both knew he wouldn't be so keen on seeing our faces first when he's revived. I stalke

    Emma's POV “And to what do I owe this?” Mom said, disappointed. I could already guess who it was. I remembered her cologne. “Can we talk like adults? The kids look up to us.” She replied, as snidely as she did earlier. “And how's he out so soon? We barely got back.” My replied, still standing in the doorway, making no effort to shift. “It's just a broken bone. We can manage that outside those scary white walls. I wasn't going to subscribe to a reminder of how I lost their dad.” She said, still without emotion. “Mom!” I heard Kayla and Kevin chorus somewhere from behind the door. “He must be worth a tonne.” My mom said as she tore the door open for them to come in.I did not know how to act. For all I care, I still have unfinished business with my mom, then this. “Hi, Emma.” Mrs Harwell said. “Hi.” I was both shy and nervous, but it was polite to reply when someone greets me. Both Kayla and Kevin avoided my eyes as they made their way to the seat next to me.

    Emma's POV “What happened ‘earlier’?” I asked her, shooting her the most disgusting of looks. I apparently wasn't the only one doing something the other person would not be proud of. “I don't owe you that information, young woman!” She looked very pissed. I tossed her phone on the counter top and walked out. I really could not believe what just happened. Mark was such a sweetheart, why Mike? I heard her newly done nails clank against the counter top as she picked it up. “A word with you, Emma.” Her tone was shaky. “What would make you think I want to speak to you?” I shouted from my room. I was pissed for so many reasons. At myself, and at her. That was definitely not how I envisioned the day would go. Firstly, it was at Kevin's house, then the police station, then the hospital and now, that?! “Baby, please.” She said as she barged into my room. “Aren't you tired of all this drama?” I asked her. “You mean yours or mine?” She shot back at me. “Well I d

    Emma's POV And like a slave, I was bundled out of what had been my home for all the eighteen years of my life. I felt sad and broken, I was low-key glad that I would never see Kevin anymore, but there was no proper closure and I could imagine how various videos would have him staring like a fool while trying to apologize. Back to me, well, life wasn't looking promising. It was a three hour drive to Mark's house in County City. It was beautiful , and I'm sure I would have appreciated it more if I was in a good mood. We left our home sometime in the evening, and got to Mark's house two hours to midnight. It was nice seeing the ladies half naked and going clubbing. Shirtless hot men driving convertibles like it was a normal thing. “Hey kiddo.” Mark broke the silence in the car. “You alright back there?” He asked, referring to me. “No. Not really.” I replied to him. “I get that.” He replied. My mom was silent all through, save for sighs at irregular intervals. “It's n

    Emma's POV College in County was all I thought it would be. Scary and intimidating. The girls wore their skirts too high, and the boys wore their trousers too low. “Hi.” I said to the first girl I saw who looked the least snobbish. She was beautiful, and looked about my height and age, with a very slim and sexy body. I struggled to keep my eyes on her face while trying to ask her for directions. Fortunately, she was also taking all the classes I was. I was super glad to see someone I had so much in common already. It made me, for once, believe in someone supernatural. “What's your name again?” She asked. I told her barely a minute ago. I was pissed, and may be a little insulted, but it wasn't enough reason to call it quits on my soon to be friend. “Emma.” I answered her. “Emma Watson.” She smiled and shook my hand for formality sake. “Well it seems like your grandad left a really big shoe to fill, discovering the DNA double helix structure.” She smiled. I never knew

    Emma's POV I walked as steadily as I could, which was not steady at all. They had already begun to make fun of me before I was even halfway. Incensed at how much I was entertaining them, I stopped in the middle of the hall, drew a deep breath, fixed my eyes on Lily's bag which was on Blue Eyes’ lap and walked straight towards it. It helped until I snatched the bag from his lap and he snatched my hand. I remember shamelessly confessing to Lily that his grip was surprisingly warm and soft. Once again, I would have loved to be held for longer, but I had a crying girl waiting for me in the bathroom. “What do you want?” I asked him. My voice was failing me already too. I wanted to smack myself for being such an idiot. I was not new to handsome boys, but this one just made me extra weak in the knees, sent extra butterflies flying in my belly. “Seems like someone is too starstruck by your handsomeness.” Jessica said, and planted a kiss on his cheek. Both of them went into anothe

    Emma's POV I screamed so loud, I allegedly fell back and fainted. He was literally the last person I wanted to see. I woke to my mom's face hovering over mine. “What the fuck is he doing here?” I asked, feeling my head for the occurrence of any bumps, as I hit it. “He's still here.” I heard his voice. I went red on the cheeks. It didn't help that I was indulging in all those dirty thoughts and imaginations before he knocked. I felt so ashamed of myself. I didn't want a Kevin situation to happen anymore, but from that day, I knew it was going to be a hard promise to keep. “Who are you?” I squinted in his direction. The light was too much for my eyes, but I could still make him out. He had changed into something really casual, and he looked like a freaking god. I was salivating like a dog who had seen bones. “I met your mom earlier. She's kinda cool. I think she'd be able to handle my dog of a father.” He said. I never saw my mom give a faster reaction. I stared wide a

    Emma's POV Time went by so fast. Mark married my mom and were living their happily ever after. She didn't even have to work anymore, Mark had us both sorted. We had even begun to talk about college. I wanted somewhere far from home. It had been over six months since we moved to the city, but Mark's house still didn't feel a lot like home. I lived like a robot, a shadow of myself. The only person who added color to my existence was Lily, who herself had many demons she was battling. Her parents divorce had dragged out to be really messy and was affecting her mentally. We got along really well, and had each other's backs. Things with Chase were still pretty much the same. He avoided me, and when he couldn't, bullied me. Lily and I had been the butt of every nasty joke, and she still refused to tell me what it was that turned Jessica, Chase and their friends against her. She was so guarded about it, everytime I mentioned it, she got angry and defensive. So I avoided stuff that

    Lily's POV Emma and I were gonna have premium fun, and I was gonna make sure of it. I didn't cancel my trip to Berlin to sulk and cry with Emma. “Do we go on our spree first?” I asked her. Her face looked conflicted when she got into the car after she and Chase's little pep talk. I hated to see my girl like that. “Yeah.” She confirmed. Good to know we were still on track. I need some summer dresses and sunshades for Berlin myself, and maybe boots too. “What's on your mind?” I asked her. She looked like she wasn't really with me, in the car. “I'm scared.” She said, “Why?” I asked her. “For a lot of reasons.” She said, “Start with the one on your mind now.” I said. “Everything.” She said, She was rubbing her hands furiously. “Everything is wrong.” “That can't be true.” I said. “You have a life many are only jealous of.” I said. “You're just trying to make me feel better. It would have worked when I was younger and dumber, but I'm smart now, Lily.” Her

    Emma's POV. I did one last outfit check before heading down to Lily's. It wasn't much, but it was pretty, cute, demure. I took these stairs carefully, gently, just so if Chase was around, he would not hear me come down. It wasn't exactly like I was running from him, I just wasn't in the mood for any explanation. I just wanted to do what I wanted to do and be happy. The front door was left ajar, which was quite unusual, but not strange, since he was still somewhere around. “Here she comes.” Chase beamed. They had just broken their hug, and he and Lily were looking in my direction. I almost wobbled under their gaze. Their faces were so smiley, so expectant, I was tempted to look back to confirm if there was something else that had their attention. “You look so fucking pretty.” Lily said, hugging me and planting a kiss on my forehead. “Thank you.” I croaked. I was pinching myself, struggling to remind myself that the hug I just witnessed them break meant nothing. That the

    Emma's POV I wasn't feeling up to talking to Chase when I woke up in the morning. That's not to deny that I didn't find his efforts cute. He sounded so happy, like if I stayed around him too much, he'd rub off on me. The pancakes he made, made their way into my nose, but my head was feeling a bit woozy, I was in fact trying to catch my balance. I didn't know that was enough to piss him off. I looked from the window opposite his bed, I could not see him. Meaning he didn't go so far. The pancakes were making me extra hungry, but I felt nasty, and weak. I stripped, half hoping Chase came in at that exact time. I took my time, taking my clothes off one after the other. I tarried a bit, waiting in sexy poses. I pinched myself. I was beginning to get too delusional, even for myself. I walked into the bathroom majestically. The blood flow had reduced, and for that I was grateful. Taking my time, I lathered my body carefully with a body scrub I'd just gotten. I felt fresh, diffe

  • Falling For My Stepbrother 1    Chapter 107

    Chase's POV. I was still very much haunted from how I reacted when Emma told me about it. Every time I saw her wear a painful look on her face I remembered how it mirrored the look she wore when she told me. The sleep at night was somewhat chaotic. She had a bout of nightmares. I was scared to my bones when I heard her scream the first time, but it was rather a relief when I saw she was still asleep. It happened three times more, and every single time, I got less scared than I was before. “How are you?” I asked. I'd been staring at her for over an hour, when the day was still a bit dark. “Better.” She replied, turning from me and facing the wall. I thought today was gonna be different. Maybe she'd be warmer, calmer, more composed. I had the most beautiful smile on, ready to make her world different from what it used to be. “I loved watching you sleep.” I said, like I'd done every morning since we'd been together. Emma's smile was a bit shy, or cold, frosty, I didn't w

  • Falling For My Stepbrother 1    Chapter 106

    Emma's POVHow the call ended was a bit strange. I didn't know why my mom had to cut it off. As much as I wanted to dash to Mark's, I wasn't feeling up to it and I had started to feel gnawing pains in my belly. I concluded my mom was gonna be alright and left it at that. When I called her, I wasn't expecting to hear her say those things she said, but they sure were what I needed to hear, in retrospection. Maybe it was better after all. My raw maternal instincts were mourning the baby, but a baby wasn't really what I needed. And she was right about the other part too. Chase and I were going to college in less than a month. She said two letters came from different schools for him, it was a lot more than a punch in my gut that he applied to two schools, none of which I applied to. I thought the plan was to be together. Apparently, I didn't mean so much to him. As I held my head in my hand, I cried to the God I don't know if I believed in. I'd been cheated so badly in my ver

    Emma's POV I changed out of my already stained towels. Chase just got them from a fancy women's store, online, about two days ago. I felt bad that it had to get ruined, but it was all part of my healing. The doctor said I was gonna be bleeding for about four days. After bawling my eyes out again on Chase's shoulders, I logged my tired body back into the bathroom to wash up. I was weak as fuck, and definitely worse of emotionally. I put a sanitary pad on and then went to bedI didn't think it was gonna be easy sleeping, so it was not a surprise when all that closing my eyelids did was usher in the horrible memories. I began to think of something I thought I'd cast to the back of my mind a long time ago. Every now and then, I felt Chase's hand on my body. It was hard to tell him that the hands I once died for, the hands I once fantasized about being wrapped in had started to irritate me. The day went by slowly, I subconsciously looked at the digital clock on the dressing ta

    Chase's POV “Baby,” I called out to Emma as soon as we got back home, “I hate seeing you this way.” My voice snapped her out of her thoughts, she breathed deep and came out of the car, leaving both her phone and purse behind. “I'm really tired, Chase.” She said, “I just want to rest.” “That's totally fine.” I took all our stuff out of the car and ran after her. Let me help you.” She looked and felt weak. “Thank you.” She said, as I helped her up the stairs. “Can I get you something to eat?” I asked “I don't feel up to it right now.” She replied. “Can I just try?” I asked her. “Don't bother.” She snipped. “Do you need something else?” I asked her. “Just stay next to me.” She said, It felt like an honor to be told such by her. “Let me jump out of these clothes.” I tore the clothes, a reminder of where we'd been and what'd happened. “Pull me closer.” She cried. I pulled Emma so close. Her body felt heavier, and was even warming up. “I'm sorry, Emma.

    Emma's POV “Would you have me read the results with him present?” The doctor asked me. “Yeah, he's my boyfriend.” I said, smiling. I rubbed Chase's face, pulling his beards with one hand, and rubbing my belly with the other. “You might want to sit up.” He said. “We are happy you came in for a check up today.” The kind old man said. I smiled. It was a big hospital downtown, fancy and very modern too. I felt more at peace with Chase by my side. “Emma Watson,” He wore the glasses which hung down from his neck and read my name out from a file in his hand, “I'm afraid, but we couldn't find a heartbeat.” I knew nothing about stuff like those. I'd never been or lived with a pregnant woman. I remember the look on their faces while the nurse kept tapping my belly and scanning round, but I didn't think it was a big deal. “What does that mean?” I heard Chase ask as my heart was already shattering, it could only mean one thing. My baby was dead. “Your baby is dead.” The doc

    Chase's POVI knew I was kinda weird, maybe a bit confused. But I had genuine reason to believe Emma was doing too much. The food arrived soon, and we went to get it at the door. We were cool just a moment ago. I hate how we weren't yet at the point where we handle our shit maturely. “I'll get that.” I said, reaching for the bigger and heavier boxes. It was only instinctive to be more protective of her. She was carrying my baby. Whether or not we were ready for it. “Emma.” I called her quietly since we weren't both far from the rest’ earshot. “Yeah.” She turned, I saw the tear marks on her face. I was gonna say how I was sorry for blanking out on her, but the words just couldn't get out. “I'm…” I started, looking in multiple directions at once. “It’s okay.” Emma said, and walked in. I took a minute to process what had just happened. “Where were you man?” Gray screamed in delight as I entered. “Been looking in that direction for the past minute.” He added. I kn
