Not My Brother The Bonfire
Yesterday my parents left for Russia. I laid in bed staring at the ceiling, like every morning I woke up.Nobody has seen or heard from Cole ever since he left. I miss him.I keep replaying his words in my head. They cut me like a thousand knives. I'm certain that I love him more than I loved Ajay. And now I think it's too late to tell him this. He'll probably just tell me that I'm lying.Tonight is the night of the bonfire. The boys were right I've never been to one by myself. I always went with Ajay and when he died I simply stayed at home.Ryan asked me to be his date so I agreed to go with him as friends. I'm waiting for Cole, I want to be with him and nothing is going to stop me from getting what I want. If I have to wait forever, I will.I rolled out of bed, already one pm. I've been feeling depressed lately and I haven't been to school either. Like I give a fuck.I took a long shower to pass the time. I wrapped a towel around my body when I was done before going back to my ro

"I'm not the fucking flyer," I whisper yelled at Paige. "Yes, you are. Since you had Jade kicked off the team you're replacing her." Nina said while doing a jump with Natasha and Natalie. They suddenly formed a circle before holding their hands out."Plus you're as light as a feather," Brianna said."Fine," I said with a tight-lipped smile.I climbed onto their hands and they lifted me into the air. Holy shit I'm the new flyer! I smiled at the crowd before shaking my poms in the air. Please God let them catch me.I twisted my body before falling.I breathed out in relief when they caught me and the crowd erupted into cheers. We then continued to dance until the second song ended. This is kind of fun.We walked off the stage together before hugging each other and laughing."Liv Cole is looking for you," Chris said and I frowned at him."If I were you I'd run," Shane said before they disappeared."Wait what do you mean?" I asked after them."They're bluffing," I told the girls. "Why

Cole's POV...When the bonfire died out everyone started to leave so we headed downtown to the location of the after party.I think it's near a cliff or something. I've never been there before but a lot of people have died there. Apparently.We finally reached the spot and found Rook there with a few other popular kids from our school. We climbed out of the car before greeting the people outside. Lamar pulled out a blunt before lighting it up. He passed it onto me so I took a long drag from it."I'm keeping this," I told them before continuing to smoke the blunt in my hand and they scolded me. I laughed at them before grabbing Liv's hand and walking towards a tree.She looked up at me so I placed a kiss on her lips. She took the blunt from me before taking a long drag from it. She coughed a little before smiling.Her giggle filled my ears and I laughed along with her."I like your nose," Liv said before giggling wildly."I like your eyes," I said before laughing. We kissed and I was s

The next morning I flew out of my bed at the sound of my alarm. Cole's bed and also Cole's alarm. He groaned before rolling onto his stomach. My head was pounding so I frowned at the feeling."Cole get up we need to get ready," I said before leaning over him to place a kiss on his cheek.His eyes slowly opened before he sat upright. "We need to get ready." He said in realization before pecking my lips. "I'll go shower in the downstairs bathroom and make us a smoothie, okay?" I told Cole and he ran a hand through his hair."You're the best." He said before heading down the hall."Nice ass," I said at the sight of his behind and I heard him chuckle. What a man.I went downstairs and took a nice warm shower to freshen me up for the day. I wrapped a towel around my body when I was done before heading to the kitchen.I quickly made a tomato smoothie before pouring it into two glasses. I placed it into the refrigerator before going upstairs to get dressed.I slipped into a clean cheer ou

We headed downtown to McLaren's. It was starting to get chilly outside so Cole handed me his football jacket.We freshened up earlier so now I'm wearing some black jeans paired with a white strapless crop top while Cole wore some black jeans paired with a white t-shirt. We both had our Jordans on, and we looked so cute together.When we entered the building it was packed with drunk teens."Oh my gosh, hi." A girl said when she saw Cole. "Can I like get your number?" She asked shamelessly and I frowned at her.As I was about to say something Cole placed a long kiss on my mouth before looking back to the girl."No." He blankly told her before leading me somewhere through the crowd.We reached a table with different bottles on it and Cole started to fix us some drinks."So what happened between you and that Storm guy?" I asked carefully and Cole briefly glanced at me."We were just talking." He replied under his breath. Cole never hides his fights from me and that's clearly what he's doin

The next morning I woke up in Cole's arms. I hugged him tightly before smiling with closed eyes.Then I remembered what day today was. My smile dropped from my face but I pushed it all to the back of my head. Every memory and every laugh, fuck even every fight we had. Seems so far away now. Does Cole know?I don't know life moves on I guess."Good morning." He said before kissing my forehead."Hi," I said before looking up at him."How do I still feel tired?" He asked in a sleepy voice and I giggled lightly."Did you sleep at all?" I asked him and he placed his arm over his eyes."Yeah." He replied huskily. "How was your night?" He asked before a smirk crept onto his face."Wild," I said and he chuckled before shaking his head at me."But I loved it," I said before smiling with red cheeks. Cole turned flat onto his stomach so I climbed onto his back before resting my head there."I love you Via." He said softly and I smiled at him."I love you more," I said softly."Debatable but I'l

Cole and I walked into the bowling alley together. I spotted Jade and Big T at the mini-bar so I frowned."Look who's here," I told Cole before smiling. He looked over at them before dropping my hand."I'll go grab us some shoes." He said before walking away from me. Weirdo. Why is he being such a weirdo?I went over to Jade and her dad before hugging both of them."Hey, Livvy. Why are you here alone?" She asked in shock."I'm here with my boyfriend." I told her and she just said 'Oh.' Why is she being a weirdo too?"Can I steal your daughter?" I asked Big T and my school principal smiled before nodding at me.I pulled Jade away from her dad before breathing out in frustration. "Cole is acting strange lately. He gets secret phone calls and he seems so on edge." I told Jade and she frowned lightly."Did you ask him about it?" She asked suspiciously and I shook my head."No. He gets so mad at me. Like this morning when I asked him about it after he showered, he yelled at me." I said in

Griff and I sat flat on our butts on the grass at the cemetery. I rested my head in the crook of his neck. He stuck his open hand out so that I could place mine there.A tear slipped out of my eye as I read the letters scribbled on the grey tombstone in front of me.Somebody sat down next to me and I frowned lightly. I found Rook sitting next to me and he held his hand out to me so I placed my free hand in his. We had a moment of silence. And Griff shifted in his place. "Hey, man," Griff said almost hesitantly. "I don't know if you can hear me but I just wanna thank you. For everything. For being a friend and a brother. I'll see you soon." He said before getting up and walking away from us."Are you okay?" Rook asked me so I wiped the tears from my cheeks."Yeah fine," I said softly. "This will just forever be the worst day of my life," I said in a shaky voice."I'm sorry for telling you to let him go the other day," Rook said softly."Yeah?" I asked before wiping my cheeks dry."Yeah

Not My Brother Peace In The Wreckage
Five Years Later...Years had passed since those chaotic days, and life had finally settled into something resembling peace. Standing under the warm sun in my mom’s garden, surrounded by laughter and the buzz of family catching up, I felt a quiet kind of contentment I never thought I’d deserve. The years had been kind. I finally found my footing, throwing myself into writing, something that had always made me feel alive. What started as a simple hobby turned into something more. Now, my books are being sold in bookstores all across the country, and people I didn’t know appreciated them in ways I could never have imagined. Healing wasn’t a straight path, but it led me here to a version of myself I was proud of. I wasn’t the only one who had found their place in the world. Jade had started her own fashion line and was already making waves in the industry. Paige had opened a wellness retreat in Colorado and was thriving. Rook had gone into music production and was working with some o
Not My Brother I Love You, I'm Sorry
After doing an obstacle course where mud and water was the core elements of the exercise we had to run ten laps around the training field.I don't even want to be here anymore so I don't know why I'm even trying so hard. Especially not after what Griff told me last nightAfter training in the sun for two more hours we were finally done. I went back to the barracks and before I turned the corner that led to my room I heard a familiar laugh.Cole's laugh.I sucked in a deep breath before turning the corner. I was shocked to see him laughing with a girl.His girlfriend, I assume.They spotted me before I could turn back around."Liv," Cole blankly uttered, his smile dropping from his face. "Come here." He uttered before pulling me into a tight hug."Cole, who's this?" The girl he was with as
Not My Brother Ash
I quietly sat in the mess hall. I haven't made a single friend, so here I am eating breakfast all by my lonesome. What's even worse is that I haven't seen Griff or Cole all morning."Fresh meat," I heard someone uttering from behind me. I slowly turned around and found a tall man hovering over me. He had a buzz cut, hazel brown eyes, brown skin and a smile that met his eyes on his face.He sat down next to me, our face only mere inches apart from each other and my eyes widened at his closeness."I'm Ash," he smiled at me before holding his hand out to me. He smells like heaven. I hesitantly shook his hands before moving back from him a bit."I'm Olivia but most people call me Liv." I told him."Olivia, that's a beautiful name." He uttered before taking a sip of his coffee. "First day?" He asked and I nodded. "Don't be nervous. If you are, Kenicky will noti
Not My Brother Remedy
One Year Later...I graduated today, everything went well. The dance squad made it to regionals this year and won, but we lost at nationals. It was still good memories though. I threw my cap in the air before leaving the bleachers. Everyone has gone home by now. Maybe it was stupid of me to hope but I thought Cole would show up to support me. I heard he joined the army but my Cole would've shown up no matter what. Even if it meant showing up late, he still would've been here. But I guess he regrets falling in love with me now. I left the football field and made my way to the parking lot. I jumped into my car and drove home in silence, the radio was barely audible as it was playing in the background. I parked my car in my dad's driveway. I went inside and found him, my mom, and Ian all waiting for me in the kitchen.I greeted them before sitting down by the kitchen island. "Are you ready to go tomorrow?" Ian asked me and I nodded at him. "I am." I pointedly stated."Liv, you don'

A/N: Just a little heads up: there are going to be a few time skips to ensure the smoothness of the story. One Month Later... Cole I quietly sat at the edge of the road. I looked down at the water beneath my feet. I haven’t been here in so long. Grate's Bridge. This is where Liv, Rook, and I spent most of our nights before summer break. Back when his mom was still alive. Unfortunately, the cancer got the best of her, and now she’s just gone. I know what it feels like- to lose your mom. It’s the kind of pain you never forget. Not that I want to forget it; pain is the only thing I have left of my mom. That’s why I never talk about her. Colleen Cyprus. I think of her most of the time. She was beautiful. Always so calm and peaceful. She was gentle in everything she did. She never did anything wrong or bad. She was a saint. When I met Liv, she reminded me so much of my mom. She was so pure, maybe even too beautiful for me to touch. At least that’s what I thought.
Not My Brother Heal
I quietly watched Ian as his eyes scanned over the DNA results. I decided to come home and give them to him since he deserved to know. Ian slowly looked up at me before running a tired hand over his face. "Liv, what is this?" He asked me, his voice faint and confused. "Cole had a paternity test done. These are the results-""So what you're saying is that my son isn't my son anymore? How is that even possible? I raised him, and my ex-wife gave birth to him, Liv. I was with her the entire time-" he stopped, a deep frown settled on his forehead as he seemed deep in thought. "What?" I softly asked. "I need to be alone for some time, Liv. I just need to make sense of all of this and ask a few people some questions- thank you for showing me these." He uttered in a shaky voice."Of course, call me if you need anything." I softly told him. "And Ian- I'm sorry. For everything." I uttered before leaving his house.I climbed into my dad's car before driving to my mom's house. I haven't been
Not My Brother Don't Check On Me
Cole walked me to my suite and I kissed him goodbye, making sure to savor every moment I had with him."Be good." He smirked at me and I just smiled at him before I entered my suite. I rested my back against the door while staring up at the ceiling in distress.What the hell am I doing? I had sex with Storm last night and now I'm talking about getting back together with Cole. It's like I can't think straight when I'm with him. He's got me wrapped right around his finger.And if he ever finds out about Storm and me all hell would break loose. I'm afraid of what he'll do to Storm when he finds out which is exactly why I won't tell him about it.I unzipped the thick jacket I was wearing and hung it up against the wall once I was done taking it off. I tiredly ran my hands over my hair before I walked into the living room.A knock suddenly came from the door so, I frowned to myself before going back to the door. Cole must've come back."Did you forget something?" I asked as I opened the d
Not My Brother I.F.L.Y.
I saw Cole talking to Griff who looked at him in shock. I couldn't make out what they were saying but I'm sure Cole was telling him about the DNA results. Griff dabbed Cole up before he pulled him into a tight hug and I smiled at them from across the room. "Cole?" I called him and they both looked over at me. "Can we talk?" I asked him and he quietly looked at me before he told Griff to excuse us. Griff hugged me before he left the room so, I walked over to Cole. We sat down by the firepit before we looked up at each other. "Please help me understand." I softly told him and he tightly clenched his jaw at my request. "Please, Cole." I uttered before taking his hands in mine. "Ian is not my dad, Liv. You're his daughter. But you're not my sister because Ian and I are not related- at all. I think my mom might have had an affair and lied to my dad- to Ian that I was his. Maybe he knows something. My mom is dead so, I can't exactly ask her about it." He told me so, I shook my head
Not My Brother The Impossible
I sat down next to Storm and he smiled over at me. There's just something about Storm.I want to be with him but I just can't get Cole out of my mind and that makes me feel horrible. "Guys, check the group chat." Austin told us with wide eyes and everyone around the firepit took their phones out. I checked my texts and found that it was principal Clark who sent it. I clicked on the text and my eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god the trip has been extended to a week!" Jade excitedly yelled out. This is great news, this way I'll get more time to clear my head."Ugh, I wish we weren't in Aspen though. This cold ass weather is just not for me." Austin told us and we all nodded in agreement. "I mean I don't even have a man to keep me warm." He whined out before glaring over at everyone in the room and we collectively laughed at his words."What about me?" We heard a familiar voice and everyone turned around in shock. My eyes widened when I saw Rook standing in the doorway. Austin excitedly
