STUCK IN BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS Chapter 1
Ivy stood at the edge of the crowded school hallway, her eyes following Justin as he effortlessly made his way through the throng of students. His laugh echoed down the corridor, drawing the attention of nearly every girl in sight. But it wasn’t just his good looks or his charm that made him popular—it was the ease with which he moved through life, always with a smile on his face and a joke at the ready. Justin was the kind of guy everyone wanted to be around, and Ivy had been by his side for as long as she could remember. To the outside world, they were the perfect pair of best friends. But to Ivy, it was something much more complicated. She watched as Justin leaned in close to a group of girls, his voice dropping to a low murmur. The girls giggled, their eyes wide with admiration. Ivy rolled her eyes, unable to suppress a smirk. Typical Justin, she thought. Always the flirt, always the center of attention. But then, his gaze caught hers from across the hall, and a grin spread

Trevor was bad news—plain and simple. As much as Justin was a playboy, with his endless hookups and carefree attitude, he was still the better brother in Ivy’s eyes. Trevor? He was in a league of his own, and not in a good way."Just ignore his teasing," Justin said, glancing at Ivy as they sat in the living room. He knew exactly how his brother could get under her skin, especially when it came to her crush on Justin. Though Justin doesn't know about that part Though.Ivy nodded, though her stomach twisted at the thought of dealing with Trevor again. She didn’t really have a choice; Trevor thrived on tormenting her, and ever since he found out about her feelings for Justin, he never missed an opportunity to use it against her. "He must’ve done something bad at school again," Justin muttered, running a hand through his hair as though the mere thought of his brother exhausted him."Suspended again," Ivy murmured, more to herself than anyone else."It’s only his second year in college,

Trevor’s gaze lingered on Ivy, his smirk deepening as he pushed off the doorframe and sauntered into the room. His presence filled the space instantly, bringing with it a weight Ivy had almost forgotten during his absence."Good to see you, Ivy," Trevor said, his voice smooth yet laced with mockery. He looked her up and down, that familiar spark of mischief in his eyes. "Still playing sidekick to my dear brother, I see.""Leave her alone, Trevor," Justin warned, his tone cold and clipped as he stepped slightly in front of Ivy, instinctively shielding her.But Trevor only laughed, clearly amused. "Relax, Justin. I'm just making conversation," he said with a shrug, although Ivy knew better. She could already feel the heat rising to her cheeks, her discomfort mounting under Trevor’s pointed stare."Well, go make it somewhere else," Justin replied, his voice hard. The tension between the brothers crackled in the air, a silent reminder of the rivalry that had only seemed to grow with ti

Ivy carefully placed the plates on the dining table, setting everything perfectly, just like her mom liked it. Tonight, Emily was home, and that meant one of their rare family dinners. Ivy glanced around the table, noting the absence of Trevor and secretly hoping it would stay that way.As they all took their seats, Emily looked over to Justin. "Is he coming?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of exasperation.Justin shrugged, a slight frown tugging at his lips. "Wouldn’t expect him to show up at all," he replied, barely masking his irritation.But just as he spoke, Trevor sauntered into the dining area, wearing his usual smug grin. Ivy muttered under her breath, "Speak of the devil," and picked up her spoon, ready to dig in and ignore him completely.Before she could take her first bite, Emily gently placed her hand on Ivy’s wrist. "Let’s say grace," she reminded, nodding for everyone to put their spoons down.They all bowed their heads as Emily led a short prayer, each of them

Ivy stood outside Justin’s door, her heart racing as she tried to steady herself. It felt like she’d been staring at the door for hours, running through a hundred different ways to explain what had happened, but none of them seemed right.Finally, taking a deep breath, she opened the door. As she stepped inside, her gaze fell on Justin lying on the bed, his face scrunched up and squeezed against the pillow, his features contorted in a mixture of discomfort and exhaustion. His eyes were shut tight, and his brows were furrowed, deep lines etched across his forehead. His mouth was twisted, lips pursed, and his jaw clenched, giving him a pained expression. His body was sprawled across the bed, limbs splayed out in every direction, conveying a sense of utter relaxation and surrender. The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast a warm light on his tense face, accentuating the tension in his muscles, and for a moment, she stood there, frozen, taking in the intimate vulnerability of the scene

Ivy sluggishly leaned her head onto Justin's shoulder, only to pull away with a sleepy laugh. "We should sneak home," she murmured, the words barely out before she started laughing, finding her own suggestion hilarious. Justin nodded, chuckling along, even though he couldn’t quite understand why everything felt so off.As Ivy tried to stand, her legs wobbled, and she slumped back into the chair, sending them both into fits of laughter. Watching her, Justin attempted to rise but stumbled, catching himself on the edge of the table before collapsing beside her, their laughter echoing through the cafeteria."Alright, one more try," she said, giggling as she reached for his hand. He grinned, clasping her hand as they both made another attempt, supporting each other like a couple of clumsy kids.Giggling like kids with a shared secret, Ivy and Justin managed to sneak out of the school gates, holding onto each other as they swayed with each step. The fresh air hit them, and they burst into a

“You should be thanking me, though,” Trevor said, his tone casual but smug.“Why should I? We took drugs, for goodness’ sake! What is wrong with you?” Ivy exclaimed, her eyes narrowing in anger.Trevor scoffed and took a step closer. Before she could react, his hand gripped her jaw gently but firmly, tilting her face up to his.“Little miss creep,” he murmured, his smirk widening, “you don’t get to shout at me after accepting my deal.”“Take back the deal,” she demanded, her voice trembling with frustration.But Trevor leaned in closer, his eyes boring into hers, the smirk never leaving his face. “It’s a deal,” he whispered.Ivy went silent, her breath hitching. The only sound in the room was the soft rhythm of their breathing as they stared at each other, a tense and unspoken energy building between them.Ivy’s heart pounded as Trevor’s smirk deepened, his face just inches from hers. The intensity of his gaze made her feel both angry and nervous. She clenched her fists by her sides,

Ivy laughed, tossing another chip into her mouth as she leaned back against the couch."You should've seen the look on her face when I told her I wanted her far away from me," Justin said, a smug grin tugging at his lips.It felt like a dream come true for Ivy. Kulture wouldn't have the chance to taunt her anymore, especially about dating Justin."You're not going back to her, right?" she asked, giving him a pointed look.Justin met her gaze, his expression serious. "Hell no," he said firmly.She couldn't help but smile at his response."Thank God, because I never liked her. You two didn't match at all," she admitted, shaking her head.Justin raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. "You never told me that before," he said, reaching over to snatch the bag of chips from her hands.Ivy smirked, leaning back on the couch as she watched Justin pop a chip into his mouth."Would you have listened if I did?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.Justin paused, chewing slowly, then shrugged. "Probably not

Ivy froze, staring at him speechlessly as a whirlwind of emotions crashed over her—excitement, nervousness, confusion. She didn’t know how to feel, didn’t know what to say. Her heart pounded in her chest as she processed the moment.This was him. Her father. The man her mom had been talking to lately. She knew this was coming, knew they’d eventually meet, but nothing could have prepared her for the reality of it.“Ivy,” he said softly, taking a tentative step toward her. His voice was warm yet hesitant, as if afraid to say the wrong thing.She blinked, her mouth opening but no words coming out. She had imagined this moment so many times—what she would say, how it would feel—but now that he was standing right in front of her, all those thoughts disappeared.He stopped just a few feet away, his gaze searching hers. “It’s… it’s so good to finally meet you,” he said, his voice thick with emotion.Tears pricked at Ivy’s eyes, her chest tightening as she fought to keep her composure.

Emily sat nervously, her hands clasped tightly on the table as she glanced at her watch again. Almost two hours. She had texted Robert earlier, asking him to meet her here if he wanted to, but his silence had been deafening. Still, she held onto hope.She let out a deep sigh, her mind racing with doubts. What if he didn't want to come? What if he'd decided that whatever connection they once had wasn't worth revisiting?Just as she reached for her bag to leave, the door to the restaurant opened with a faint chime. Her eyes darted to the entrance, and her breath caught when she saw him.Robert.He paused briefly, scanning the room until his gaze landed on her. For a moment, their eyes locked, but then he looked away, as if unsure or hesitant. Emily sat back down, her heart thudding in her chest as he walked toward her."Hey," he said quietly, stopping just in front of the table."Hi," Emily replied, her voice soft, almost tentative.Robert hesitated before pulling out the chair across f

"I’m not going to pretend I don’t understand where you’re both coming from," Ivy said, her voice steady but firm as she looked at her mother. "I get it—from your perspective and his. But you both need to stop dancing around this and just talk it out like adults."Emily sighed deeply, nodding. "I’ve tried, Ivy. I’ve called him, I’ve texted him, but he’s ignoring me. He’s still upset.""Don’t worry, Mom," Ivy said, placing a reassuring hand on Emily’s shoulder. "If he really wants to meet me, he’ll come around. You’ve done your part. Now it’s his move."Emily chuckled softly, though her eyes betrayed her lingering doubt. "Oh, Lord, I sound like some high school girl in love," she said, shaking her head.That drew a laugh from Ivy, light and genuine. "You kind of do," she teased, grinning.Emily joined in the laughter, the tension easing between them. ~~The morning was crisp as Ivy made her way into the school parking lot, her bag slung over one shoulder. She kept her gaze fixed ahead,

Justin forced a smile, nodding absently as Kulture showed him something on her phone. He wasn’t really paying attention. His mind was stuck on Ivy, seated just a few rows ahead, oblivious to the turmoil he was feeling.He couldn’t help but steal another glance at her. She looked focused, her eyes trained on the teacher, her pen scribbling notes in her notebook. It was the little things about her that always drew him in—the way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the soft smile she’d give when she figured out a tough problem, the way she’d tease him when he messed up.This was why he had to distance himself.It wasn’t the first time he’d tried this tactic. Pulling back, giving her space, ignoring the feelings that seemed to grow no matter how hard he tried to suppress them. It always worked—or at least, it had before.He’d give it a few weeks, apologize for being distant, and everything would go back to normal. That’s what he kept telling himself. That’s what had to happen.Because the

Robert stared at Emily, his face a mixture of shock and confusion. For a moment, it seemed like he hadn’t heard her correctly. “You… you got pregnant?” he finally managed, his voice barely above a whisper.Emily nodded, her gaze fixed on the ground. “Yes.”His eyes searched hers, looking for some kind of explanation. “Did you… did you keep the baby?”“Yes,” Emily replied softly, her voice steady but filled with tension.The silence that followed was deafening, punctuated only by the distant hum of traffic and the rustling of leaves. Robert’s jaw tightened, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides.“You kept the baby, and you didn’t tell me?” he asked, his tone sharper now, disbelief etched into every word.Emily flinched but held her ground. “I didn’t have a choice, Robert. You were gone. You left town. I didn’t have your number, and I couldn’t exactly walk up to your family and tell them. They wouldn’t have believed me.”“Emily, I would’ve come back,” he said, his voice risin

"I’m so sorry," Ivy whispered, her voice trembling as she stepped back, trying to catch her breath.But before she could move further, Trevor’s hand slid to her waist, pulling her closer to him. His touch was firm yet gentle, leaving her no room to escape. Without a word, he leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss that sent a jolt of electricity through her body.Ivy’s eyes widened in shock, but then, almost involuntarily, she melted into the kiss. It was intense, unexpected, and everything she didn’t know she needed. Trevor kissed her like he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, his hands steady on her waist as if grounding them both.For a fleeting moment, it felt right—too right. But then reality hit.They both pulled back, their breathing heavy and uneven. Ivy stared at him, her mind racing with questions she couldn’t begin to voice."I—" she started, but the words wouldn’t come.Trevor opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Ivy turned and bolted

"Hey, Mom," Ivy called out the moment Emily stepped into the house. She set her bag aside and walked toward her mother, who seemed unusually lost in thought. Emily’s gaze softened when it landed on Ivy, and she quickly made her way over, sitting across from her."I saw him today," Emily said, her voice tinged with a mixture of excitement and nerves.Ivy raised a curious brow, a smile playing on her lips. "Him? You mean... my father?"Emily nodded. "Yes. I saw Robert today."Ivy’s eyes lit up with interest. "Robert Monroe," she repeated, testing the name on her tongue. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "It’s nice you gave me his name, even though I didn’t know much about him."Emily gave her a small smile. "It felt right, even back then."Ivy leaned forward, eager to hear more. "So, what happened? Did you two talk?"Emily hesitated for a moment before admitting, "He asked for my number."Ivy’s grin widened. "Oh, you both are getting somewhere," she teased, her voice play

Emily was caught off guard when she bumped into Robert outside the café. She hadn’t expected to see him after their brief interaction at the supermarket. He had looked at her with a hint of recognition, but this? This felt different, like a twist of fate. She froze for a moment, unsure of how to react, but the warm smile on his face was enough to make her relax a little."Well, if it isn’t Emily," Robert said with a smirk. "I didn’t think I’d run into you here. After the other day, I thought we were done with coincidences."She blinked, a little surprised. "You thought I wouldn’t be around?" she asked, genuinely curious.He shrugged with a casual grin. "I mean, I didn't think we'd end up crossing paths again. But here we are."Emily felt a strange wave of relief, and maybe a little excitement, but she couldn’t figure out why. After all, he was the last person she ever expected to see. Still, she smiled. "I guess life has a funny way of making us bump into people we least expect.""Exa

Ivy stared blankly at Stephanie, who was now leaning against the wall, a mischievous grin on her face."So, what are you going to do?" Stephanie asked, tilting her head, clearly enjoying the drama unfolding in Ivy's life."I'm not doing anything," Ivy replied curtly, brushing off her friend's question. "It's not like there's anything to do."Stephanie frowned, folding her arms. "Don't play dumb with me, Ivy. You literally almost kissed Trevor. Almost kissed Trevor," she repeated for emphasis, her grin returning.Ivy groaned. "It wasn't like that," she insisted, but her cheeks betrayed her, heating up with the memory.Stephanie gasped dramatically, pointing at her. "Oh my God, you're blushing. You are so Team Trevor now!"Ivy rolled her eyes, trying to ignore the swirling confusion in her chest. "I'm not 'Team Trevor.' Stop calling it that.""Why not? He's hot, he clearly likes you, and let's be honest-Justin's been acting like a complete jerk lately."Ivy opened her mouth to argue but
