Falling For My Stepbrother 1 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 180

Emma's POV “I'm sorry I could not resist the urge to drop by.” Chase said, as he leaned against the door post of the room Kevin occupied only minutes ago. “Just say you overheard us.” I shot at him, tired of his bullshit. “I really do not care that much, Em. Y'all overestimate yall selves.” He said, as he loudly ate a pack of Pringle's. “Give me that.” I said, as I grabbed it out of his hands, and headed for my room. The last few days have been stock full of emotional upheavals, and while I felt like shit for using Kevin that way, I was only glad I had one less person to deal with. “Hey,” Chase called after me as he followed me all the way to my room. “Can you just leave me be?!” I yelled at him, as I shut the door in his face. I was tired and exhausted, and wanted to be by myself. I half expected the door to still creak open, hopefully, Chase was in the mood to press on, but it didn't. I couldn't care less at that point, I just wanted to cry, and cry I did. I b

Chase’s POV “You said you wanted me gone.” She replied plied, not slowing down. I had already almost closed in on her. She was just about to fetch her car keys and unlock the car when I caught her hand. “Emma, baby, please.” I couldn't hide my teary eyes anymore. I'd worn sun shades throughout the day, scared that I might see something I'd find triggering. But that was no use with her She was the alpha and omega of my sadness, only she could help me. “I didn't mean any of that stuff I said. You know I don't.” I begged, taking her head full of hair in my hands. “I don't know anything anymore, Chase. The rug has been taken from under my feet so fast, I'm finding it hard to find my balance.” Emma sobbed. “Emma, all I said wasn't true. I still love you like I always did. Everything I said to you, in that room,” I turned back and pointed to my bedroom window, “is a hundred and one percent true, and I still feel that way. I always have, always will.” “Chase, why were you

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

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

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
