Chapter 42After putting a crying Emma to sleep, Brandon walked out of the hospital room and his family and friends were gathered.His mother spoke up first when she saw him. "How is she?""She…I don't know. She just went back to bed." He told her truthfully."What did the doctor say?" Kevin asked him."Apparently, we were having twins. She….we lost one." He told him.His brother released a deep breath and gave him a hug."I'm so sorry." She said to him,"It's okay. I'm just glad Emma's okay. And at least one baby is okay." He said to her trying to make light of the situation."Don't lie to me, Brandon." She said as she released him and cupped his face. "I'm your mother. You don't have to pretend to be okay in my presence. I know how hard losing someone can be.""Mum.""It's okay, we are all here for you." She told him as she gave him a hug again.—------------------------------------------------------------"You're leaving?" Brandon asked his parents."Yeah. Don't you think it's a li

Chapter 44The intense urge to pee was what woke Emma up from her slumber. She made a mad dash for the toilet and it was only after she had come out of the toilet that she noticed she was the only one in the room. There was no sign of Piper or Zoey. An unexpected feeling of sadness hit her. They should have at least waited until she had woken up from her sleep right? She thought they had all become friends. Even if it was just one day they had spent with each other, she could not deny that she felt a sense of camaraderie and sister good with them. Emma moved downstairs and saw Helen behind the stove."You're awake. Take a seat, I'm almost done." Helen said to her with a smile."Um, perhaps….is…".Helen turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "What is it that you want to ask?""Me?""Yes, Emma. Don't even think of pretending. You can ask me anything you know, right?" Helen asked her.Emma thought of it for a moment. There was really no need to ask Helen about Piper and Zoey. She was sure

Chapter 46Emma let out a gasp and Brandon used the opportunity to slide his tongue into her open mouth. He was consumed with need for her, an extreme want that he could not control. Emma tried pushing him away, she caught a handful of his hair and gave it a tug, it brought pain to Brandon but he had lost all reasoning. The pain only made him seek more. He moved ruthlessly over her like and with time, Emma lost the zeal to fight him. She moved her mouth along with his, intertwining their tongues. They continued for minutes and only let each other go to get in a lungful of air.They stared at each other. Emma with an intense hatred as she clung unto him, her lips parted. To Brandon, she looked like an angel. One that would be able to satiate his needs. But even at that, he made no move to continue. It was a constant rise and fall of their chests as they both stared at each other, none relenting. Emma knew she would regret whatever was happening between them but now, her desire clouded

Chapter 48Brandon nursed his beer while trying to not focus on Emma. At first, he was scared his friends wouldn't welcome her but that wasn't the case. It was like she belonged with them. Although, Kevin still watched her with narrowed eyes. Brandon knew he would have to talk with his brother. There was no way he was going to let Kevin's attitude towards her continue. "I swear this looks exactly like Brandon's home." Emma observed."There are a few differences but yeah, the houses in this community all look alike." Benji told her.Emma nodded. She had thought that Brandon's friends wouldn't accept her but after the initial shock of her being present, they moved on and welcomed her. Although, Brandon still said nothing to her."Stop with the fucking drinks, Piper. You have work tomorrow." The only black person in the group, Carson said.Piper gave him a stink eye. "Since when do you care?"Carson smirked. "I care about the health of the people you would be treating. No one wants a dr

Chapter 50Brandon was restless that night. Emma never said anything to him throughout the drive home. She kept quiet and continued staring outside the window. He had no idea what was going through her head. All his attempts to get her to talk to him were met with a cold shoulder. Immediately they arrived, she moved straight to her room. He knocked and begged her to come out so he could talk with her. So they could talk with each other but every plea fell on deaf ears. She did not come out and it was already past ten but she still wasn't downstairs. With a sigh, Brandon left his home and went to the office. That was the mistake he made. He should have stayed.It wasn't up to twelve when he received a call from Zoey telling him Emma was moving out. There was no way Brandon would let her leave him. Not at all. He had vowed not to let her go. Not when he just realized his feelings for her. Brandon moved immediately. There was no time to waste."Brandon.."He turned to see his brother wea
