Pov: Victoria“Drama!” Samantha said as she craned her neck trying to see what the commotion was all about.I turned just in time to see Caleb leaving the cafeteria. He looked pissed. I wondered what was going on with him. He had not replied to any of my texts over the weekend and was acting weird when I asked him about it that morning. I stood up to go follow him when Cheryl Parson came and stood in front of me, effectively blocking my path. “Excuse me,” I said to her, trying not to sound annoyed. I had to get to Caleb and she was in my way. I did not want to lose him.“Is it true that Caleb Stallone asked you to the prom?”I froze. How did she know that? Samantha stood up as well. “What is she talking about Tori? Are you going to prom with Caleb?” I was caught. I had not told Samantha or Alice about the proposal yet. It is not that I did not want to. I just hardly believed it myself. When he did not respond over the weekend, I was worried that he changed his mind and realized that
Fate of Two Step Siblings Chapter 15
Pov: CalebMy phone was ringing. I picked it up to see who was calling. It was Tori again. I silenced it and let it continue ringing so that it became a missed call. I knew that I was not being fair to her but I still hadn’t figured out how to navigate the whole situation about our parents.I had not had a conversation with her since the night that I asked her to prom. That was the other thing, the entire student body had blown the two of us going to prom together out of proportion.“Why is the fact that she is not popular such a big deal?” I asked myself several times.They were all overlooking the fact that Victoria was extremely beautiful. That Thursday afternoon, I got home and headed straight to my room like I had for the past couple of days. I still wasn’t talking to my parents and I was glad that they were respecting my decision and giving me the space that I needed. I was on my bed listening to some music when Eric opened the door.“What’s up?” I asked him not moving from the

Pov: VictoriaCaleb was talking Brianna to prom. I couldn’t believe it. How I found out that he had replaced me so quickly was almost worse than the crime. After I left Caleb’s room, I went straight to the car. I was trying but failing to keep the tears from falling from my eyes. Samantha and Alice were waiting for me in the car.I had told them what happened in the bathroom with Brianna and they both offered to take me to Caleb’s place for moral support. By the time I actually got out of the house and into the car, the tears were streaming down my face. I hated that I had to do that to Caleb. I hated that I was not able to stand up to Brianna.I sat in the back seat with Sam who held me while I cried. The three of us went to Alice’s house. I didn’t want to go home until I had gotten a handle on my emotions. I didn’t want to deal with the plethora of questions that my mom would ask if she found me crying. I finally went home at around seven o’clock. Mom could still tell that somethin

Pov: CalebShe wanted to be just friends. When she said that my heart broke. I wanted to be more than friends, to explore our chemistry. I knew that it would have been a gamble but I believed that it would pay off. I almost did not agree to her condition then I remembered what the past week had been like without her.I would take what I got from her without complaining if it meant that I didn’t have to go through that again. I hated that we would not get a chance to see what we could be. True to her word, she stopped ignoring me. When I sat with her in class the following day she talked to me. She was just as witty and sarcastic as ever.By the end of the class, we were stuck in a heated debate about why tomato paste is not called tomato jam since tomatoes were fruits and not vegetables. If you asked me how exactly we segued into that topic, I couldn’t tell you. I was just happy I had my girl back. We were packing up our things to leave when Brianna called my name.I groaned inwardly.

Pov: CalebIt was all finally over. The prom came and went, the excitement in the school died down and the student moved on to the next big event; graduation. Brianna was still on the moon about being elected as the prom queen. When her name was called that night, she acted like it was the most unexpected thing that had happened to her.The act was so convincing, I almost believed it even though I knew that she had been preparing for that moment. She could have won awards with that performance. I was also elected as prom King but it didn’t matter at all to me. I had even managed to misplace the cheap plastic crown that I was given by the end of the night.Brianna still stuck to me like glue. The dynamic between us has changed since we went out together. She was more flirty and possessive. I had even been asked more than once if the two of us were now an item. I knew it wasn’t right but I went along with it. We only had one month left until we graduated. I did not feel like causing a

Pov: VictoriaHe was dating her. Caleb was actually dating Brianna; the spawn of Satan, the thorn on my side, the pain in my ass. Even after I told him what happened between Brianna and I, he still decided to ask her to be his girlfriend. “Victoria, are you okay?” Caleb asks.It was a Monday afternoon. Caleb had come over after school. He had accidentally let it slip that he had not watched ‘Love Actually” and since we had no homework that day, I had decided to force him to watch it. Everyone needed to watch that movie at least once. It was two hours of pure genius.He pretended to be uninterested but by the time we were thirty minutes in, he was fully engrossed in the movie. His eyes were glued to the screen and he leaned forward towards the television. I wanted to ask him how he was liking the movie and he actually shushed me saying that he didn’t want to miss anything. Caleb was a big old romantic at heart and I loved that about him. During the ending, in the airport scene, he wa

Pov: VictoriaI had a boyfriend! Two weeks after our first date, Jonathan asked me to be his girlfriend. It was all happening very fast but I did not mind it. Alice and Sam liked him, my mom thought he was ‘the sweetest thing ever’ because he bought flowers for her and dropped them off when he came to pick me up for our first date.We had settled on having lunch at Paula’s and then going to the movies to see if they were playing anything good. I had suggested meeting him at the café but he was not having it. He insisted on coming to pick me up from home. I knew that I did not have to do that much to impress Jonathan but I was still nervous.I had to put in some effort. I think that my mom was even more excited about the date than I was. She had even skipped going to work that Saturday just so she could be home when Jonathan came to pick me up.“It's not like this is the first time a boy came to pick me up, Mom. Caleb did that all the time,” I tried to reason with her.“It’s not the sa

Pov: VictoriaHe would be happy to teach me. I was super excited. We set the baking date for that following weekend. The rest of the dinner went well. He cracked jokes and was very attentive. He complimented me so many times I was worried that my face would permanently turn red from blushing too much.After we ate, he paid for the meal and refused to listen to me when I wanted to pay for my own food. We headed for the mall and went straight to the movie theater. There was nothing interesting showing at the time that we got there so we went to get ice cream instead. I was still very stuffed from lunch but who says no to ice cream? I got vanilla ice cream and he got chocolate-flavored ice cream which I thought was an abomination so we argued about it for about twenty minutes before he relented. Vanilla will always be the superior flavor. We talked as we ate the ice cream. Our conversation was so interesting that we accidentally neglected our ice cream bowls.By the time we realized it,

Annabelle who was in a beautiful blush pink poofy tulle dress had a rose stalk in her hand and my son, Liam followed right behind her with a huge smile on his face. When I saw him in his little tux, my heart melted. I couldn't believe that it had only been a year since I gave birth to him. He had gotten Caleb’s brown hair and my blue eye; the best of both worlds. Even at one year old, he had so much personality.He was the happiest baby that I knew. I didn’t know that I could love someone so little so much. Being a mom meant that you literally walked around every day with your heart outside your body.

Victoria's POVEveryone had been acting rather strange for the past two weeks. I didn’t know exactly what was going on but I could tell that something was up. When I asked Caleb if he saw it too, he told me that it was probably in my head. My mom invited all of us to their place for dinner because she thought that it had been a while since we were all together. I didn’t mind because that meant that I got to see Caleb. He had been so busy with work for the past two weeks, that I hadn’t gotten the chance to see him.I had started getting used to the idea of being pregnant.

Caleb's POVI rushed over to Tori’s apartment as soon as she called me. I could hear the panic in her voice and I knew something was wrong. I was already in Sedona to visit Eric, so it wasn’t too far of a drive.When I arrived, Tori was standing at the door, tears in her eyes. “Caleb, I don’t know how to say this, but I’m pregnant.”I felt a rush of emotions wash over me. I was elated, overjoyed, and terrified all at the same time. I couldn’t believe that I was finally going to have a family with the woman that I loved. This was everything that I had ever wanted, and I knew that I had to do whatever it took to make this work.I pulled her into a tight hug and hugged her really tight.

Caleb's POVI placed my phone beside me on the couch and tried to ignore it. my eyes however kept drifting back to it hoping that it would light up with a response from Tori. When I heard a chime, I basically dove for it. Just like I had hoped, it was a message from Tori.Hi Caleb!Don’t worry about me. I’m going to be okay. I think we should meet and talk about everything. Let me know when you’re available.ToriI pumped my fist up in the air. This was huge. I had absolutely no hope that she would text back let alone be open to meeting with me. If she wanted, I would get into my car and drive to Sedona right away as tired as I was, I felt a surge of energy go through my body. I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down before I responded. I didn’t want to push my luck.How about tomorrow? I could come down to Sedona.I texted back then dropped my phone like it was hot metal. I worried that maybe I sounded too eager. I was so nervous, I didn't think I was capable of playing it coo

I couldn't shake the feeling that Brianna was behind this.I always knew Brianna was trouble, but I never thought she was capable of doing something like this to me.

Caleb's POVThe room was deathly quiet in the wake of Tori’s outburst.“Ummm…what was that? What was she talking about?” My dad asked.Every eye in the room turned to look at me expectantly. They were all waiting for me to shed light on the situation. I was still loss for words. Tori was actually blaming me for what happened to her store. I was in shock.“I don’t know. Tori never told me anything about Brianna threatening her. It’s the first I’ve heard of this,” I finally said.I was having a very hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Brianna could have done something like that. It wasn't like her at all, especially judging from the amount of damage that had been done to the store if my dad’s account of events was anything to go by.“Do you know where Brianna is right now?” my dad asked. “No, I haven’t seen or heard from her since we broke up so I have no way of knowing where she is. Wait, do you guys actually think that Brianna did this? There is no way.”Eric ran his hand

For years, I had dreamed of hearing those three little words from him, and now they were finally coming out of his mouth. "I love you, Tori," he said.My heart leaped in my chest at the sound of his words, and for a moment, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. He loved me. Caleb Stallone actually loved me back.
