All Chapters of Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Steph's Pov I stood in the dimly lit medical room, feeling a swirl of frustration and anxiety as I grasped my phone tightly in my hand. Beck had been completely ignoring me. Over the past day, I had called him more than fifteen times and sent nearly fifty texts, yet not a single reply had come through. The glaring absence of any notification was unnerving, especially since it was so unlike Beck to vanish without a word. If circumstances were different, I would have marched straight to his house. However, today was the day of the big match, which complicated everything. Not just any match, but a thrilling face-off between Omega and Inferno. The energy in the air was screaming, and it meant that Brian and Simon would become fierce rivals. It also meant that I was going to get to see my brother after a very long time. “Were you waiting for me?” I heard his deep voice from behind me. I rolled my eyes and turned, only to gawk at what I saw. Brian stood in front of me wi

Steph's PovThe vibration of my phone against the wooden café table sent a ripple through my concentration. I barely glanced at the screen—until I saw the message.My stomach dropped. My fingers twitched.I knew I shouldn’t open it. I knew nothing good ever came from indulging him. But curiosity—stupid, reckless curiosity—got the best of me.Unknown: Didn’t know you still liked sitting in my lap, but I’m not complaining.Blood rushed to my face so fast it made me lightheaded. How the hell did he even get my new number?I gritted my teeth, inhaling sharply before typing back.Me: Go to hell, Lockwood.A typing bubble appeared almost immediately.Brian: Now, now, sweetheart. You were a lot more comfortable there than someone with a boyfriend should be.I locked my phone and threw it onto the table like it was cursed.I had an early class today, and afterward, I’d stopped by my usual café, tucked away just off campus for some me time. A quiet corner, a steaming caramel latte, and my lapt

Steph's PovI stood in the comfort of our tiny little balcony. For the past three years, I had been living a quiet life. It wasn’t my ideal life, nor was it the most exciting, but at least there had been no chaos.Then, suddenly, it was hit by a hailstorm. Life was pelting icy rocks at me, and icy blue winds blew against my face, leaving me no shelter in sight.I was this close to giving up, packing my bags, and fleeing. But that’s what I had done last time. That’s what I always did. And yet, sooner or later, chaos would always find me.“Missed me, Hudson?”I looked down over the balcony railing to find Beck standing below, dressed in a formal shirt with his black coat hanging loosely over his shoulder.“Beck?” My eyes widened in surprise. “Oh my God, Beck!”I was so happy to see him I could have jumped off the balcony to reach him faster—only I wouldn’t actually get to see him if I did that. Then, I remembered how I had been trying to track him down the entire week, only to be ignore

Steph's Pov “I hate my life.” Rebecca complained to me. The poor girl's disheveled state was enough to tell me how she felt this morning. An emergency meeting was being held at the sports complex. The same place where the basketball matches were held. Just our meeting was taking place in an office at the top floor whereas the basketball court was on the first floor. The reason why our poor Rebecca completely despised her life was because the meeting had been called at the last minute. We had just gotten off from our three hour long lecture with Mitchell, and had to rush all the way to the complex. “As we all know we're gathered here to discuss the recent events that took place during the match. We'll be studying the preventative measures, to lessen the patient’s injury as much as possible……” The lecturer droned on, and I tried to half-assedly pay as much attention as I could. From the corner of my eye, I tried to muffle my smile, watching Rebecca try

Steph's PovI groaned, throwing my head back onto the couch, my fingers gripping the fabric in frustration as Stella, Sarah, and Lucy practically vibrated with excitement in front of me. Their eyes sparkled with anticipation, their energy so palpable it was exhausting just to witness. They were relentless, like a pack of wolves circling their prey—except this time, I was the unlucky target."C'mon, Steph!" Sarah chirped, nudging my arm like an impatient child. "It's the weekend! No classes, no clinicals, no basketball game for you to use as an excuse to avoid fun. This is the perfect time to let loose!"I let out a tired breath, already shaking my head, but before I could utter a single word, Stella was on me."And don't even think about saying you just want to rest." She pointed a perfectly manicured finger at me, her brown eyes narrowing in warning. "You've been holed up like a damn hermit for weeks now. We barely see you outside of class! It’s actually concerning at this point."I
