Not My Brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 115

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.

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.

"This is a mistake," he whispered, his eyes still closed. "You know this is a mistake, Liv.""I know," I breathed, my hands still tangled in his shirt. I could still feel the pressure of Jess’s presence, the life he tried to build to replace the pain I left behind. He stepped back from me. He looked at me, not as a guy who had moved on, but as the boy who used to promise me the world."I can't go back to how it was," he said, his voice dropping to a low rasp. "I can’t survive you a second time, Via.""Then don't," I said, tears blurring my vision. "Don't survive me. Just be with me. Until we break again. At least we’ll be breaking together."Cole looked down at his hands, then back at the corner he had pulled me behind. Out there, he had a girlfriend, a reputation, and a life that made sense. In here, all he had was me. He
