Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 30
Chase’s POV Mr Rudd and I had a showdown in the class. I could hear the sound of Emma's breath. She was having a hard time keeping up with reality. And I couldn't blame her. Many would call what I was doing ‘love bombing’, and I wished I could make it easier for her, but that was just how it worked for me. “Sorry about that” I apologized to her as she took her seat again. “Is this really what you want? You're trying so hard to ruin me, can you stop?” Emma was in tears. It hurt to hear that that was what she really thought of me. “Emma, do you really think I saved you a seat to make fun of you?” I asked her. She was pained and I understood that, but she was being irrational too. “That's a bit unfair.” “Unfair is coming to school half scared I could have a baby in my stomach and having to be the clown in my first class. That's what unfair sounds like.” She replied. I didn't want to draw Mr Rudd's attention further, else I risked a more serious confrontation with him.

Emma's POV I felt like Kevin made me feel when Chase didn't show up. We were to meet by four pm at the bottom of the stairway. I missed a class and wanted forty five minutes for someone who wasn't in school. Unfortunately, Jessica and her new man, who surprisingly happened to be Mr Rudd already had their minds on the bottom of the stairway too for their make out session. I heard all sorts of obscenities. I wished I could block their sound, but if I made the slightest movement, they'd have heard. I endured the harrowing experience for twenty five of the forty five minutes I was stood up. The last half of the day was a blur. Firstly, Chase got on Mr Rudd's nerve cause of me, then he stood me up. It made no sense, but I couldn't talk to anyone about it, because what we had wasn't ideal in the first case. I went home with hopes of seeing Chase there. I wasn't so keen on it, but it sure would have helped. Chase wasn't home either. The maid he was fucking the first time I saw hi

Lily's POV Grayson and Emma had a small bit of background in common, but I didn't want to let Emma know about it. I've not been fortunate with men, or boys. I really wanted Gray and I to last, till, well, forever. Gray and Emma grew up in the same town. Then his dad remarried when he was about six years old and moved him from Starry town to County City. Emma too grew up in Stary town. Gray went back to see his mom and step siblings a few days after our shopping spree and two days before the Senior Trip. He came back a different person, but not to me, thankfully. He began to withdraw from Chase and Emma which I found weird. He and Chase were like two peas in a pod, I wouldn't have been with him because of how close he was to Chase, but I also knew Chase would never say anything about it, so I took my chances with being with Chase's brother from another mother. Gray didn't seem to want to do stuff with Emma anymore, and I guess since she became Chase's new fancy, it kinda rub

Grayson’s POV Days before the school trip, Mom called to come see her and I thought I could squeeze in a day or two. I took the three hour trip from County to Starry town. It was still just how I remembered it. Everything was the exact same, except my mom. She was with someone else, but she wasn't too happy and didn't look good either. “Hey Ma.” I said, as soon as I got in. “Hey baby. How are you?” She asked, “I'm fine ma.” I replied to her. “I don't know what to say of you though.” I said, daring to talk about something I knew could be sensitive to her. “Just say it, Son, say it.” She said, “Mom, you look bad.” I said. I didn't like seeing her like that. She had two more sons from her other marriage. “It's not his fault,”She said. “That's all the answer I need mom. I didn't even ask if it was him.” I replied, pissed. “Gray, this isn't your battle to fight. I have to stay for Mike and Jerry.” She said, more to herself than to me. We had the discussion over

Emma's POV “Gray and Lily are acting weird.” I told Chase. “Is that so?” He asked, seeming so unconcerned. “Yeah. I wanted to sit by them and they were so hostile.” Replaying it in my head made me almost want to cry. Heartbreaks were bad, but friendship breakups too were somewhere on that list of things that could make someone go mad. “Did they say anything?” Gray asked. “Anything like what?” I had a sneaky feeling that he knew something, but Chase wasn't a really readable person. “I don't know. Something out of the ordinary?” He asked. . He was so engrossed in his food, one would've thought that it wasn't his best friend we were talking about. “Their whole freaking attitude was. That's the exact fucking thing I'm saying.” His ‘I don't care’ attitude was getting on my nerves. I was already on the verge of tears, and he wasn't helping matters. “Just go somewhere else.” I said. “And you're complaining about Gray and her?” Chases rarely ever called Lily by h

Emma's POV Chase came and sat right next to me as I predicted. Lily still didn't move a finger “What's going on?” I whispered in her ear. “I don't want to talk right now.” She said back. “Why?” I asked her. “Cause we're in class?” She sounded quite sassy, but I wasn't ready to back down. Just then, Jessica passed by. “Man and wife, bitch and man.” She said, Grayson was sitting on one end, Lily followed, I did, then Chase. I didn't need to be told that she was referring to me. Shockingly, Gray acknowledged her. I looked at Chase to check if he saw the exchange they had just happened, and I confirmed he did. His look wasn't pleasant. “What's going on man?” I read the note he passed to me and looked at him. “Pass it on to Gray.” He said. I passed it to Gray, boycotting Lily. I doubt she would touch anything Chase touched even with the longest of spoons. Gray passed the paper back through Lily who gave me when she could have reached for Chase directly. I sent

Emma's POV “Still going out with me?” Chase popped his head in my room and asked I had long stopped bolting my door. It didn't stop anything. Every single time I tried to do it, thinking it would keep me away from Chase, it only brought me closer to him. I'd overthink myself into unlocking the door again. “That's the most hideous hat I ever saw.” I joked with him. “There's more where it came from.” He responded. He was obviously in a better mood, and it was good, for me. “I'm sorry about earlier.” I apologized, getting out of bed. “That's alright. I'm the villain in every story. Hurry up before I show you why that is.” He joked with a little wink. Chase was crazy, there was no going back about it. “Alright.” I replied, laughing. “Would you like me to watch, or you'd rather I stayed out in the cold?” He asked, with a very exaggerated sense of need. “I'd rather you froze over than watch me get dressed.” I replied to him. . He made a very funny disappointed fa

Emma's POV “Emma, all you're being right now is irrational.” Chase said as he parked in his dads garage.He had a bit of trouble trying to reverse and park in a garage which contained no less than ten luxury cars. “I can't remember asking for your opinion.” I replied to him. “You don't have to. I literally told you what happened and now it somehow comes back to bite me in the ass.” He said. “Chase, please just park and let me get out.” I replied. “Emma, please.” He said, turning the engine off. “I never should have told you anything.” “Is that an attempt at making me pity you?” I asked him. I wasn't feeling the game he was playing. All I wanted was to be alone. The next day, we were gonna be taking pictures in our uniform for the school yearbook. I needed to rest and breathe if I was going to be amongst people who thought I was a killer. I can't believe the whole school walked about seeing me like that. “You can run, Emma.” You can't hide. I went up still, not

Emma's POV “Welcome. I've got wine.” I said, and sprang up to my feet as soon as Kevin got close enough to me. I didn't enjoy the rush of blood to my nether regions at the sight of him and smell of his cologne, but really, my body had a lot to do in coming to terms with my mind and heart. “Not too happy to see me.” He said and smiled sadly, looking away. “Would you rather be alone? I'd just drop this and be on my way.” He held my keys up, before tossing them gently to my reading table. “You're breaking me, Kevin.” I managed to say. “I don't even know where we are, I don't even know where to start, you can't blame me for acting like this. Even though I genuinely think wine would help.” I said, looking down. I didn't have the mind to look Kevin in his face. I felt so shitty. This must've been how Chase felt every single time he fucked up. It hurt so bad being on that other half of a relationship drama. As horrible as it is to admit, I'd rather be the one cheated on. I just cou

Emma's POV “I think you know where your keys are.” Chase looked me in the eyes. His blue eyes were no more sexy, they were icy. “We can take it from here, Dave.” I turned to the uber guy, dismissing him. “To think that you're the one who was so concerned with how I'd handle Kayla!” Chase screamed. “I think you should know that I didn't think this was gonna happen!” I yelled back at him. I wasn't known to be the noisy neighbour, and I didn't want Chase to make me be seen as one, so I entered my apartment, which was stuffed full of flowers and hampers and gifts, a note on my reading desk which I snatched up immediately, and a wine on my bed. Gosh! It was so sexy. I didn't know how to feel. Kevin really went out of his way. What I didn't understand was why he'd do that, knowing when he left, he left me to Chase, and really, the outcome was inevitable. “I see y'all have a fun night planned, I wouldn't want to interrupt any plans you've made.” Chase said, with his hand

Emma's POV “Is it just me, or is this trip actually unnecessary?” I asked him, as we boarded a flight back to MA. “Come on!” Chase said as he took my hand. “You know it is. We're not planning to accumulate a lot of school work, are we?” He smiled. We didn't have to wait with the business and economy passengers, cause, well, we're first class. “Every single trip to reality sucks so much.” I whined. Chase held my hands tightly under his, maybe ensuring I wasn't gonna run away, and it's not like I wanted to either. “We have to keep taking it.” He said and sighed. “You really do not know much about being supportive.” I muttered and just let myself be led like a sheep to the slaughter. “Come on, Em.” He said, still not taking his eyes off the road, “You know everyone's just doing what they have to do.” Chase said. “Do I have a choice?” I whispered to myself. I wasn't mad at Chase, I was just angry that our little baecation was over and that we were gonna be separate

Emma's POV “Hey mom!” I was overfilled with excitement and anticipation. From what Chase briefed me, we had a whole lot of fun stuff to do. It was quite risky that we were taking such a break from school, but it's nothing Chase's dads connections couldn't fix. He said that we were gonna have fun, and he was gonna make sure of it. “How are you, sugar?” She asked. It'd been a minute since I saw my mom that happy. “Never been better.” I replied a little too enthusiastically, I was so happy to be away. Somewhere no one knew me. “You look it.” She smiled. “Why did you not call me? Forgot about your woman in all your boy dramas?” Unfortunately for me, the phone was on speaker, and Chase wasn't far. Which definitely meant he was paying more than the usual attention. “Come on, mom!” I chided. “It didn't exactly end the way we thought.” I was trying to be as cryptic as possible, if I had my way, I'd have avoided the whole topic all together. “Tell me.” She said, looking s

Emma's POV “Do you wanna come in with me?” Chase asked. The answer was gonna be hell yeah, but because of what happened in the past-less than twenty four hours ago, the question was necessary. “Yes.” I answered affirmatively. “Are you sure you're gonna be comfortable here?” He asked again, looking at me doubtfully. “I'll try.” I replied. “That's not such a good thing.” He remarked, heavy on his amateur British accent, taking a step back. “I can't help it. It's too many memories.” I apologized. “Don't do that.” He said, and appeared to think pensively. “Let's go somewhere. What do you say?” He looked at me. “What?!” I asked. Can't lie, I was shaken a bit. “Just like that?” I blinked so hard and fast. “Yeah. Somewhere different. Somewhere we could be ourselves. Somewhere we can start on a fresh slate and get back on our feet.”He couldn't have sold the idea to me any better. “Uhm, I,uhm. Is that possible?” I asked. The sun was so bright, I had to squint, and

Emma's POVDon't even ask why I walked out of Chase's house, cause I couldn't give myself a sensible reason. I just wanted to be away from there. It felt like something was haunting me. I had a troubled sleep, matter of fact, I had no sleep at all that night. I tossed and turned and cursed myself out for being so trashy. I kept wondering if I was cursed. Could I just not mess my own happiness up? I wanted to do something desperately. It was the day after and I was still the only one in Mark's house. It gets lonely real fast when no one is home. “You've gotta do something, Emma.” I said to myself as I sat alone in Mark's big ass living room. Confused and ashamed, but ready to make things right, I hopped into the easiest car to back out of the garage, and once again, was on my way to Chase's house. As I drove, I thought of a million things I could say. Really, just anything to explain my behavior the previous day, but nothing came to my mind. I could not even convince myself t
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 176
Chase's POV “Fuck!” I didn't understand why Emma was in such a rush to get away from me. We literally were just unloading our hearts content to each other. Was she bored? Tired of me? Did she see something that triggered her? She wasn't even with her phone. I'd have concluded that she got some type of news. Two days after my dads anniversary dinner, and I was still in Starry, against my own will. Having sworn to leave town, immediately after the dinner, with all traces of me gone if Emma didn't come into my life, I surprised myself. For every single thing I thought could never be, life kept sending it my way. Emma and I had sorted our issues, but she wasn't speaking to me. I woke up as early as 6:00am, checking my phone for texts from her constantly, and there were none. I wondered what I did to deserve the cold treatment again. It's one thing to be in someone's bad books, it's another thing not to know why. I thought long and hard of what to do. But no sensible ideas wer
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 175
Emma's POVThe person I was at Chase’s house wasn't the regular me. I was feeling a million things and I wanted anything, anything at all, that would make me feel even just a bit better. Being that close to him, saying everything I said was a new feeling. My heart was racing and my throat constantly ran dry. “Can I admit something I think of sometimes?” I asked Chase. “Yes.” He said, really enthusiastically. I thought to myself if he'd be that hyped up if he knew what was on my mind, but since I'd concluded that I'd stop keeping stuff I thought to just myself, I said it. “You might not be too enthusiastic if you knew the shit that's about to fly out of my mouth.” “Come on, Em.” He said. “I don't fancy when you refer to yourself that way.” “Okay, okay.” I said, putting my hands up in surrender. “What if Gray and Lily weren't there?” I asked him. Chase looked at me, for about ten seconds, his bright blue eyes were beginning to get their spark. Instead of being terrified
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 174
Chase’s POV “I was about to ask if I ever made you doubt that, but I remembered I have, over a thousand times.” I said, shooting myself in the foot. “People change, Chase. I believe you can too.” She said like she was holy or something. “Come on girl, don't treat me that way.” I played along. “Can we sit?” she asked, pointing at the chairs I'd already wrapped. “Sure we can,” I said, “tear them off.” “What were you gonna do, really?” She asked her. “I don't know, actually, and I'm not even lying. The plan was to be away from everywhere you were.” I replied, truthfully. “Do you still feel that way?” She asked me. “Come on!” I said. “You know that's not possible.” “Just checking in to make sure, really.” She remarked and looked away.. “Can I go now?” I asked her if I could ask my own questions. “How do you think life would have been if both of us ended up in MIT?” I asked her. “I know it'd be great, for sure. I also know it'd be straining, maybe a
