I swallowed the lump that grew in my throat.

She didn’t see me come out of the changing room, did she? Oh Rosalie, what mess have you gotten yourself into.

“You think you can catch his attention. But let me break it to you, sweetie: he’s never going to notice you. You know why? Because he’s mine.”

I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding.

Shit, that was close.

She let out a sharp, mocking laugh as her fingers brushed against the collar of Noah’s jersey as if to emphasize her claim.

  • Bullied by my Stepbrother    155; Diary

    The book looked old. It was a thick book with a worn cover and slightly yellowed pages. He was gripping it so tightly that the edges bent beneath his fingers. He walked straight toward me. “Rosalie.” I looked up at him. “What happened? Why did you run off like that?” He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he held out the book. I stared at it, then at him. “What is this?” “My mother’s.” I frowned. “Your mother’s?” He nodded slowly. “She gave it to me years ago.” His voice was different now. Quieter and almost unsteady. I got to my feet, glancing briefly at David before turning my attention back to Noah. “What is in the book? Is it like her diary?” Noah looked down at the cover. “I have no idea. I didn’t think it was important at the time. She told me to keep it somewhere safe and not to read it until I was old enough.” He swallowed. “She said I should only read it when she was no longer here.” My eyes widened. “What?” He nodded again, letting out a shaky breath.

    The drive home was quiet.Neither Noah nor I said much after leaving the lake. I was too busy fighting with my thoughts, and he seemed to have gone back into his own little world.Every now and then, I caught him glancing at me, but I pretended not to notice.I didn’t know what to say to him anymore.A part of me wanted to take back what I had said earlier about going home. I wanted to go back to the lake, hold him again, and pretend that we didn’t have a hundred problems waiting for us.But we couldn’t keep running away from reality.Eventually, Noah pulled into the driveway.I unbuckled my seat belt and reached for the door, but something made me pause.The house was dark.Not a single light was on.I frowned.“Did everyone go to bed already?”Noah glanced at the house before turning off the engine.“Probably.”I nodded, although something about the silence felt strange.We got out of the car and walked toward the front door. Noah unlocked it, and the moment we stepped inside, I not

  • Bullied by my Stepbrother    153; Lots of what ifs

    My eyes opened immediately.I froze.For a second, I wasn’t even sure what to say.I slowly turned around in his arms, looking up at him.“Noah…”He gave a small, humorless laugh and looked away.“Seriously, Rosalie. What did I do to deserve all this?”I shook my head.“Your life is not unfortunate. Don’t say something like that.”He looked at me, with his eyebrows raised.“It’s not?”“No.”He let out another small laugh.“Then what would you call it? Tell me, Rosalie. Tell me all the fortunate things I have. The things people would wish to have.”I opened my mouth, trying to think of something to say.“Well, for starters, you grew up wealthy.”He immediately cut me off.“Without a mother.”I went quiet.“And with a man I spent my entire life believing was my father, only to find out that he isn’t.” He shook his head. “So, yes, I grew up wealthy. I had a big house, expensive things, and everything money could buy. Congratulations to me.”I swallowed.I hadn’t meant to make his situati

  • Bullied by my Stepbrother    152; Unfortunate

    The water was colder than I expected.The moment I stepped into the lake, I let out a scream so loud that Noah burst out laughing.“Oh my God! Noah!”He bent over, and began laughing even harder. “What? What happened?”I glared at him, then wrapped my arms around myself as the cold water reached my waist.“You said it would be fine!”“And it is fine.”“Are you insane? I can’t feel my legs!”He laughed again, and I swear I wanted to drown him right there.“You’re so dramatic, Rosalie. We both know this isn’t your first time in the lake.”“I don’t swim in the lake… I take pictures and sit.”“Sounds like excuses to me.”I splashed water at him.His smile disappeared.For about two seconds, I thought he was going to let it go.Then he splashed me back.I gasped. “You did not just do that!”“Oh, I absolutely did.”I scooped up another handful of water and threw it at him, but he dodged it, laughing as he moved farther away from me.“Come here!” I shouted.“Make me!”I narrowed my eyes.Oh,

    For a few seconds, I simply stared through the windshield. Then I turned to him slowly. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” He looked at me, amusement dancing in his eyes. “What?” I gestured toward the road ahead. “You brought me here?” “Looks like it.” “Noah!” “What?” He shrugged, looking entirely too pleased with himself. “I thought you’d be happy.” “Happy?” I repeated. “You brought me to the lake in the middle of the night without telling me where we were going. How exactly is that supposed to make me happy?” He leaned back in his seat. “Because you love this place.” My words died in my throat. I looked out the window again. The lake. The same lake where I had spent countless evenings alone, hiding from the world whenever everything became too much. The place where I could sit for hours, watching the moonlight dance on the water and pretending that, for a little while, nothing else existed. The place where everything had started. And the place where I had first seen Noa

  • Bullied by my Stepbrother    150; Why?

    I blinked. I continued to stare at him, and when his eyes landed on me, I knew for a fact that he wasn’t angry when a smirk plastered on his lips. He winked, then licked his lips. Then, despite everything, a small smile escaped me. “You’re unbelievable.”He looked at me, then a smirk plastered on his lips. “But tell me something, you’re at least excited that we’re not blood related right?”“Well… I am.”“Exactly.”I looked at him, wondering what’s getting into him. His eyes landed on mine, then he shrugged. “What? It’s a very important discovery.” He said wearing is shirt. “You just found out that the man you thought was your father isn’t your father, and that’s what you’re choosing to focus on?” “I’m a man of priorities.” I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t stop smiling. “You’re impossible.” “And yet, here you are.” He looked entirely too pleased with himself. I shook my head and carefully climbed off the bed, reaching for my shirt. “Well, now that you’ve told me everything

    The first thing I saw was the steady rise and fall of his chest as the morning light filtered through the blinds, painting stripes across Noah. He was still sleeping peacefully beside me and a stupid smile touched my lips. For a second, it just felt… good. Calm.Geez, I shouldn’t be here smiling at

    My eyes widened at the words that came out of his mouth. What he said wasn’t what shocked me, it was the way he said that so easily. After holding his stare for a few seconds, I turned to the window. The silence engulfed us, before I decided to break it.“Well, it’s my turn.” I said opening the do

    I woke up to a pounding headache that followed me all the way to school. Maybe it was from the lack of sleep as my mind was racing all night. Or maybe from all the tears I’d shed into my pillow.After Noah kissed me yesterday, his hand was trailing down to my breast when he suddenly pulled back and

    I continued to walk, burning off all the rage still boiling inside me. Home was the last thing I had in mind. My feet just kept moving until I found myself at the edge of the woods.The lake.The lake that started this whole mess in the first place. If I hadn’t come here that night, I wouldn’t have
