Fate of Two Step Siblings Chapter 65
Victoria's POV I was sitting on Alice's comfortable couch, my legs tucked under me, trying to focus on the movie we were watching. It was a Friday night and we were supposed to go out but none of us felt like it. The once balmy evenings were becoming crisp and cool, and the air held a distinct chill. It was a clear sign that autumn was giving way to winter, and the transition was unmistakable. People walking around the town had noticed the colder breeze blowing through the streets, and they had started wrapping themselves up in their jackets or scarves to keep warm. We didn’t feel like dealing with the elements so we decided to have a movie night at Alice’s, a tradition that was very near and dear to my heart, but with wine. We decided to go with one of my favorites, ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’. Julia Roberts' performance in that movie was absolutely genius. I was so excited to watch it but my mind kept drifting to Aaron. He had asked me to be his girlfriend earlier that day, and I w

Caleb's POVAs I drove back to Phoenix, I kept playing the conversation that Victoria and I had just had over and over again in my mind. When I walked into our house, I hadn’t expected to find her there. She looked great! Her skin was glowing and despite the huge streak of flour that she had somehow managed to get on her face, she looked beautiful. I was surprised at the amount of compassion that she had shown me. She was right, I deserved better. If this was happening to any of my loved ones I would not stop until they got out of the toxic relationship they were in. Why couldn’t I maintain the same standards for myself?I was going to break up with Brianna.It’s what I needed to do. the moment that I realised that I was filled with a sense of calm.

Victoria's POVIt had been a week since I talked to Caleb. He was coming home for the weekend and in true family Tradition, my mom decided to throw a family dinner. It had been a while since we had all been together and for once, I wasn’t completely dreading it. I can't express how relieved I felt now that Caleb and I had patched things up. It was such a weight off my shoulders to know that we're back on good terms. At first, I thought that he would be mad and blame me for everything. I felt like I was at the center of everything that happened between him and Brianna.I was the one who informed him that she was a bully which is ultimately what got this ball rolling and ultimately, I am the one that told him to break up with Brianna. Admittedly I had not expected him to take my advice. In the past, he had gone against everything I had said about Brianna so I was genuinely shocked. I was even more shocked when he called a truce between us. I said yes without any hesitation at all. I w

Caleb's POVI never thought I would be in this position. I always thought I was stronger than this, that I could handle anything that life threw my way. But when Brianna walked out of my life, it was like the floor fell out from under me.

It's been a month since Brianna and I broke up, and I still can't seem to shake her from my mind. Every time I saw a reminder of her, whether it be a photo or a song, my chest tightened and my heart ached.

I pulled out my phone and dialed the number of the one person who knew would help me in this situation. I just prayed she wasn’t too busy.“Hello!'' Alice said cheerfully immediately she answered the phone.“Code Red.”Those were the only words that I could manage to string together at that moment but luckily, they were enough.“I’ll be right there.”I got to the guest house and locked the door behind me as if to keep out the memory of what had just happened. I took deep breaths in an attempt to calm myself down.“It didn’t mean anything. It was probably just a sick joke,” I tried to convince myself.Fift

Victoria's POVIt was a lazy Saturday and my girls were with me. It was the perfect end to a busy week. I had so much work to do that week. The people at the coffee shop had already moved out and I had started renovations in the space. I met with a designer to nail down a theme. I have gotten suggestions from so many places.Aaron had even suggested that I make everything sultry with different shades of dark earth tones just so it would give my storefront a more sophisticated vibe but I wasn’t sure that was what I wanted. I didn’t want anyone to feel like they shouldn’t go into my store because they would not fit in.I wanted the exact opposite of that which is why I chose a springtime theme with brightly colored pastels. I wanted it to look whimsical and happy; like something out of a children’s book. I had met with Mrs. Pullman who had recently closed her bakery about buying her equipment. The meeting went relatively well except for how she kept ‘jokingly’ saying that I drove her

Caleb's POVIt took everything in me not to turn back and go to her. Tori looked so beautiful tonight. When I arrived at the party I spotted her talking to Melissa and my dad. She took my breath away. Everything about her outfit complimented her. “Aaron is a lucky man,” Eric said beside me, effectively startling me. I hadn’t heard him coming.“Don’t creep up on me dude.”“What? Is it too much for your old heart to handle?” “I’m only two years older than you dude. You need to calm down,” I said as I ruffled his hair. Gloria came up to where I was standing. She looked very pregnant but it suited her so well, she was practically glowing. “What are we talking about boys? Tori? Has she talked to you since you kissed her?” she asked. I turned to look at Eric who didn’t even bother trying to look guilty. He shrugged his shoulders and said, “Don’t look at me. I told you I would tell her.”I sighed and said, “No, I haven’t talked to her and I don’t think I will.”“What? Why?" Eric asked.

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.

When I asked Caleb if he saw it too, he told me that it was probably in my head.

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.

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

"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.
