IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 46
TESSIE'S POV "What?" Evan asked frowning slightly.In that moment, I wanted to die or better yet be swallowed whole and disappear from his sight. Thoughts of Jace were never going to leave my head. It wasn't fair especially not in that situation.It was in between the second of panic and the moment of everything crumbling down that my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID quickly and then back at Evan. "I mean Jace is calling," I responded quickly. "He has been calling..." I added and sighed hard. "I don't know why he has such a bad timing." "You can say that again," Evan nodded and pulled himself next to me. He was clearly disappointed but at least what I had thought would happen didn't.It wasn't Jace calling. It was Ava and if he found out that I had just lied to him because I didn't want him to know I had called him another boy's name in the middle of my orgasm, he would never forgive me. I got out of bed quickly and gathered my clothes. I need

JASON'S POVI woke up early on Monday morning. My spirits were high which had never been the case whenever I had a big test, especially a maths test. Tessie had helped me study the previous day and for some reason, I understood it more than in school. Having her as my math's tutor was not a bad thing at all.Having her as my girlfriend was however the major bonus and now that I had confessed my love for her, I couldn't be any more happier. We were going to break up with our fake partners. I wouldn't even call them that because we hadn't gone out together for long.I whistled a cheery tune as I help my Mom pack our lunches. Tessie was still upstairs getting ready. "You look... excited," she commented and sat down. "Was the test postponed?" "What? No," I chuckled. "Normally you are always a bundle of nerves. You barely even eat." "Way to be supportive, Mom!" I feigned disappointment. "What if it's different now? Can't I be excited for

~JASON'S POV~ "You are in love with Tessie and you can't cheat on her. That's why you keep pushing me away despite wanting a taste of my body," she added as we got to the hall. I grabbed her quickly before she could walk inside and pushed her against the wall. I don't know what came over me but in that moment, I wanted to crash her arm. "Whoa, ease up Jace. Or you will have a lawsuit on your sorry incest ass!" "Shut up! Stop!" I clipped a hand over her mouth quickly looking around us. Students passed by thankfully not paying any attention to us. I faced her again and slowly removed my hand from her face. "You don't know what you are talking about!"Lexi smiled, that evil smile she always had right after making fun of an inferior student. "She is having sex with my brother, you know?" She added and laughed, "Christ, you should hear the moaning that echoes in that house. My guess, she is really enjoying it." "Shut

TESSIE'S POV Time seemed to stand still as the events unfolded too quickly in front of me. Or did it just speed past to the point I couldn't register? Things had escalated too fast from Evan getting out of the math's test and pulling me into the closet to Jace walking in on us.Evan had been so excited talking about how he nailed that test and how bad he wanted to celebrate because apparently he had studied better because of me. Most of what he had said had gotten past me as I had been working my way to telling him that we couldn't be together anymore. How was one supposed to break up with someone they had only been together with for only over a week? And to add to the complication, I had nothing bad against him.I wouldn't say that I had been forced to go inside that closet with him but I hadn't had much time to stop him. It had happened so fast, him kissing me and me assisting him with my top. God, I was the absolute worst! If anyone called me a slut I wouldn't judge them but in t

TESSIE'S POV My heart was drumming loudly as I drove down the road, my mind so preoccupied with thoughts that I almost forgot about Lexi. There was no way out of this. Jace had enough evidence of my betrayal to never want to talk to me or see me again.Knowing that we lived in the same house gave me some comfort, that maybe I would manage to get him to forgive me but that was feeling next to impossible. I was dying slowly from the inside, regret and guilt combined built up. I could only blame myself for this.My phone rang breaking the silence in the car and rousing me from my thoughts. I looked at the screen quickly and sighed. It was Evan. I picked up right away knowing if I didn't he would keep calling. "Not now Evan! We will talk later," I shouted and ended the call before he could say anything. "You are such a slut you know?" Lexi commented. "You had the guy every girl wants and still had to go after your brother? God! How messed up are you?"

JASON'S POVI hurried out of the diner and made my way across the street. My senses were dead, I couldn't see clearly but I didn't care where I was going. All I knew is that I wanted to be far away from there— far away from her.The first time I had decided to be the good guy, the first time I had decided to be loyal only to be betrayed like this. I had never believed in love until her. Now she had wrecked me and the mere sight of her made me want to disappear forever. The loud honking of a car alerted me. I was caught in a moment of panic in the middle of the road and just when I thought I was about to get crashed, someone yanked me into the sidewalk. I fell on top of her before I recovered. "What the hell are you doing? Trying to get yourself killed?" Lexi reprimanded. I was too shocked to respond. I stared at her blankly. My heart was racing wildly. "Jace!" she shook me vigorously. "You are not okay, let me take you home." "Don't touch me!" I

TESSIE'S POV After hours spent up late through the night, I slept in and woke almost too late for school the following morning. I'm not sure how long I spent staring at the adjoining bathroom door, beating myself up and hoping desperately that he would sneak into my room like always.I don't know what I was expecting because no miracle would change what had happened. With only a few minutes to get ready, I rushed into the shower and then got dressed. By the time I ran downstairs, it was already past seven. "Tessie! You are still here?" Diane asked in surprise. "I thought you were already gone with Jace because he wasn't here when I woke up. What happened? You always wake each other up." "I guess he forgot," I shrugged and grabbed my keys. I didn't want to be there a second longer because I wasn't sure I could keep lying about what was really going on. "See you later," I added quickly and left.It wasn't until I was pulling up in the school's parking lot that

TESSIE'S POV The day passed without any drama. I guess I should have been thankful especially since Lexi hadn't even spared me a glance in the hallways, let alone talking to me. She hadn't said anything clearly because it was like any other day, another one of being invisible to the whole school.My mind however couldn't settle. I was restless with thoughts about Jace, about Evan, about Lexi... She couldn't have kept the information to herself out of the goodness of her heart. That bitch had no heart. That left the possibility that maybe she and Jace had become official. The thought churned my insides. How would I cope if that was the case?When evening came without any sign of Jace even around Lexi, I began to panic. Where was he? Had he left town and decided to go back upstate to his former home? No, that couldn't be. He couldn't just up and go without a word. If not to me, to our parents. They would want to know why he was leaving and that was a topic I was sure he couldn't hold

TESSIE'S POV "Tessie!" My father's voice alerted me from the hallway followed by a loud knock. I turned with a groan and sat up rubbing my eyes. Why was he waking me up so early ? "I know it's Saturday but you need to get up and have breakfast with us before I head to work. We have some news we want to share." "What time is it?" I managed to mutter under my breath and reached for my phone. It was some minutes past eight. My father didn't have to go to work early on Saturdays which explained why he was still there. "Tessie? Are you awake?" "You woke me up, Dad!" I shouted back. "I'm sorry. I haven't seen you since yesterday. Is it so bad that I want to share a meal with my daughter?" "I'll be there in a few minutes," I gave in knowing there was no point in arguing when he got like that.Beside me, Jace stirred awake and stretched his hand to me. He wrapped it around my waist and forced me back to bed with him. A silent gasp escaped me
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 62
TESSIE'S POVTears sprung out of my eyes as I watched Ava run away from me. This is what I had been so afraid of— watching her walk away with that hatred in her eyes. Were we ever going to be okay again? Jace pulled closer and I leaned against his chest, my heart completely torn. I had wanted Ava to know the truth. I was going to tell her everything because I didn't want her to find out this way. "I fucked up," I breathed hard. "She is never going to talk to me again." "Tessie, it's not your fault. We both did this, I did this," Jace comforted me. "I lost control, Tessie. I thought she had left." "She did. At least I thought she did. I don't know why she came back." "Hey, it's okay. Stop beating yourself so hard about it. Ava is going to come around, we will talk to her together." "What if she tells our parents?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly. "Do you really think she would?" "I don't know. She is very upset and migh

AVA'S POVI blinked slowly trying to take in the scene in front of me but my whole body shut down for several seconds. I couldn't move or say anything so I just stared. Tessie and Jace broke apart quickly, their faces pale from shock. At first, I wanted to believe that I had imagined everything but the moment my eyes met theirs, all I could see was betrayal.My insides shredded at that instant. Tears stung my eyes and a soft sigh escaped me. My entire strength failed and I forgot to breathe for a second. "Ava..." Tessie stepped forward.It was at that moment that I managed to gather myself. I turned on my heels and ran out down the hall and headed downstairs. I couldn't be there, I couldn't face her, and I didn't want to talk to her or even see her face. "Ava, please wait!" she called after me as I ran out the front door without looking back. "Ava!" "I have nothing to say to you two!" I turned sharply and shouted. "Unless you want to tell me that wha
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 60
JASON'S POV We searched for her for almost twenty minutes without seeing any sign of her or Evan. I hated myself for thinking that maybe she had gone home with him and used feeling unwell as an excuse. I couldn't stop thinking that they were off somewhere in the backseat of Evan's car or his bedroom making out or having sex.The thought drained the energy out of me and I paused outside the gym trying to fight it off. Just as I was about to give up the search, Evan appeared, heading back to the gym. I straightened up and met him. "Hey, do you know where Tessie is?" I asked. "She texted Ava that she was unwell and now we can't find her." "Yeah, she told me to drive her home. She has a headache but she is safe."I exhaled in relief. Right then, Ava joined us. "Is she mad at me for disappearing on her? Please tell me she isn't mad," Ava asked desperately. "I don't know," he sighed. "But I think you should check on her or call her to find out what's going o

JASON'S POV "So, how do you and Jude know each other?" I asked Ava as we danced amongst the crowd. "We met through our parents. They used to be coworkers then friends. What about you guys?" "He is my cousin," I stated casually, not surprised that Jude hadn't mentioned my relationship with him. "The one you are staying with," she stated.I frowned slightly, "How do you know that if he never mentioned me before?" "Tess told me, plus I live a few houses down from the Prescott's so... I know things." "Right," I nodded, my heart skipping several beats wondering how much Tessie had shared with her best friend. The truth? "What else did Tessie tell you?" I asked lightly. "Nothing much, except that you are single again which probably the whole school knows and many girls might be trying to get your hands on you." "Tessie told you that?" I cocked an eyebrow. Ava chuckled, "Not really. That was me blurting out every un

TESSIE'S POV "There you are!" Evan exclaimed as he joined me in the gym. I had completely forgotten about him until I saw him. My mind was elsewhere, sweeping through the crowd for Ava who had decided to abandon me. "May I have this dance?" "Yes," I took his offered hand with a sigh and followed him into the crowd. "Hey, did you see Ava while coming in?" "Yeah, she was right by the door with some guy. I don't think he goes to our school. I've never seen him before." "He must be his mystery man/blind date," I chuckled. "Well, wherever they are now, they must be having fun," Evan offered. "I don't see why we shouldn't as well. You want to see me break some moves?" he asked breaking into a pop and rock dance with both feet and hands.I laughed, immediately taken back to the day he danced for free ice cream on our first date. Evan was sweet, contrasting every thought I ever had of him. It would have been so easy to love him especially since

JASON'S POV "Bro, I think I found a solution for your girl problem and I might just have found you a date to homecoming!" my cousin announced and jumped into my bed, disrupting my sleep. "I told you, I'm not going to homecoming, Jude," I groaned and turned, pulling a pillow over my head to block his voice.I wasn't sleeping, but I was in no mood to talk to anyone. Not after the day I'd had. Months of trying to get over Tessie, all the effort I had put in was not making it any easier. I had finally decided to get over it, get over my ego and talk to her and I just had to stumble over her agreeing on a date with Evan.Evan! Again! Yeah, that was it. I wasn't going to try again and I wasn't going to subject myself to that torture— watching them together for a whole night. "Dude, you are in the football team. You can't miss the game!" he shook me awake. "Besides, do you really want to miss your last homecoming dance just because a chick broke your heart? Look

TESSIE'S POVMonths sped by quickly and before I knew it, junior year was already halfway done. Everyone was counting days to the homecoming dance, which was all the talk in the school hallways, washrooms, cafeteria, everywhere. It was beginning to get on my nerves especially when — "Have you found a date to the homecoming dance yet?"When that topic came up. I looked up, my sandwich halfway to my mouth, and met Ava's eyes dancing with curiosity. Way to ruin a girl's lunch! "No," I put the sandwich down. "And I'm not interested in finding one or going." "Tess, this is the second last homecoming dance you are ever going to get a chance to attend! You can't just throw that chance away." "I can, Ava. And I am." "No, you are not. You have to be there because I'm running for homecoming queen and you are not going to let me face Lexi 'you know who' on my own."My mouth dropped, "You are not serious, are you?" "About what part?"
IN LOVE WITH MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 55
TESSIE'S POVThe level of scrutinizing I was getting at home ever since Jace moved out was too high. There had been numerous questions about what had happened, all to which I had responded the best way I could — feigned oblivion. I hated that my Dad blamed himself for going off on him for getting home late but what could I do?He would have to bear that lie and deal with it. As for me, sleeping in on weekends until they left and leaving so early in the morning during school days to avoid them was how I coped. That morning however, I wasn't so lucky because it was Diane's off day.I was seated in the kitchen taking my breakfast when she joined me. "I saw Jace."I looked up sharply and forced down the sudden panic that name brought to me especially in that house, "Yeah?" "Yeah, he told me why he had to move out." "He did?" I swallowed hard. Why was she being so vague? The tension was killing me inside. "Yes, it wasn't anything to do with your father.
