All Chapters of I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

KAIDA’S POVWho would have thought Liam would fall to the ground and pass out after his outrageous scream?He fell to the ground with a thud, his body limp and his eyes shut.Everyone paused afterwards, including Ember who kept thrashing around in Caleb’s arms.“What just happened?” Selena asked, her eyes widened as she reached out to touch Liam. She tapped his cheeks twice but there wasn’t any reaction from him, so she squatted and shook his limp body and still, there wasn’t any reaction.“He passed out,” she muttered, not believing her own words. “You!” She yelled, standing up with fury blaring in her eyes.“He passed out because of how hard you pulled his hair. He’s gone bald because of you!” She stomped her heels against the tiled floor.“He passed out because he deserves it. Even worse.” Ember replied as she walked towards where Liam passed out and placed the bunch of hair in her hands on his chest in a slow motion, like she didn’t want to get caught.“Girls!” Selena called, her

KAIDA’S POV I could feel my fingers burning and twitching each time I tried to concentrate during my last class of the day.My head was so messed up that if I was asked what I had learnt from Mrs. Scotland’s lecture, I wouldn’t be able to say a word.I couldn’t concentrate and my mind wasn’t helping matters as it kept flashing back to the scene from five years ago. The one I tried so hard to erase and the slap from earlier.Ember had forgiven five years ago, but the guilt never stopped eating away at me and my punishment for leaving her behind like the coward that I was seemed incurable.The countless nightmares. The insomnia. The fear each time I go close to a pool or lake. It was terrifying.It took years to forget about it and I had been a bit better than I was when the incident happened, but when Maverick called me a coward right in my face, everything came crashing down.And it turned out to be a lie. I didn’t get better. I just tried to forget about it and move on, but when

KAIDA’S POV Caleb, whom I assumed to be the youngest and also the guy who lifted Ember by the waist during the drama at the cafeteria, stretched his hand upward, signaling that he was ready to make an order. I walked past Maverick and two other members of his team before getting to where Caleb was seated. “What would you like to have?” I asked, a clipped smile on my lips, indicating that I had no time to joke around, especially not with popular hockey players like them. “First of all, I never knew you work in a place like this,” Caleb grinned, looking around the VIP room like he was trying to picture the whole building in his head. “Don’t get me wrong. This place is cool. It is just surprising to me.” “I guess you’re not ready to order.” I muttered under my breath, ready to move to the next person, but before I could take a step, he stopped me. “Hey, hey, hey. Chill. I will order some Penrose.” He finally made his order known and I pen it down on the tab in my hand. “Who

MAVERICK’S POV “Kaida! Kaida! Open your eyes!” I yelled, tapping her cheeks lightly as if that would wake her from the deep slumber she had slipped into. “Shit!” I’ve never felt emotions before, even as I watch my sister’s best friend slip into unconsciousness after a bastard tried to force himself on her, but the rage burning inside of me could lit up a whole building. And the urge to grab the bastard’s head and smash it against a wall until he transits to hell, was almost impossible to control. The urge was unpleasant, almost blinding. My eyes darted from Kaida to the bastard who was still sprawled on the ground, unconscious, and I didn’t know what to do first. Yes. I was calm. Too calm for someone who craves blood. To calm for someone who had this…. blinding rage to kill the bastard who touched his sister’s best friend. Kaida was nothing to me like she had said earlier, but that didn’t ease the urge. I sat on the bare ground and placed her head on my lap, before grab

KAIDA’S POV “A family thanksgiving out of nowhere?” Ember rolled her eyes as she brewed her morning coffee, reminiscing Maverick’s words from the previous day. “That’s random.”We had no classes, so she was relaxed in her disheveled hair, eye-glasses and tank top.“A family thanksgiving is not random, Ember.” I replied, my eyes glued to the dark romance book in my hands.I might be a medical student but my love for dark romance surpasses my love for medical related matters. Funny.“It is random,” she grabbed the cup of coffee, slowly bringing it to her lips, with her ass plopped on the kitchen counter. “For our family.”We live in a semi-apartment, which meant that the kitchen was attached to the sitting room.I paused for a second, dragging my gaze from the book I was reading to Ember. My brows arched as I asked, “what do you mean by that?”Thanksgiving is a normal family gathering for most families, including mine, but when she said not for her family, I was a bit confused.She shr
