Derek's POV I opened my mouth to snap at them again, to tell them to shut the hell up and mind their own business, but the words just dissolved in my throat. I stood there, staring at the space between the couch and the bed, completely confused too at the question. I hated to admit it, I fucking loathed giving them any credit, but they were right. Brandon had been fine with me cheating. For the entire duration of our messy relationship, he had looked the other way whenever I wandered off, as long as I came back to him at the end of the day, as long as I told him he was mine. He had never gone after any of the random boys I hung out with. He had never tracked anyone down, never hired guards, never brought out a knife for anyone else. Why then did he attack Gabe? What did Brandon see between us that made him lose his mind enough to risk going to jail? The thought made my chest feel tight and empty all at once, a dangerous heavy question mark hanging right over my head. Before I

Gabriel's POV "Heyyy I am finally here! God I missed you Derek!" The front door didn't even have a chance to click shut before this guy came bursting into the living room, his voice echoing off the walls loud enough to make my ears throb. He didn't wait for an invitation or a greeting, he just lunged forward and pulled Derek into a tight hug. I sat back on the cushions, completely frozen, watching him. The guy had bright red hair that looked completely uncombed, and his ears were covered in so many bad boy piercings I couldn't even count them. There was another silver stud right on his nose too. He looked very... I don't really wanna judge people, but he looked completely wayward. After he finally pulled out from the hug, it was pretty obvious Derek didn't really act like he was into it at all. He just stood there like a stiff board, his arms hanging down by his sides, his face set into a dark scowl. But the red haired guy didn't seem to care about Derek's bad mood. His ey

Derek's POV I looked at him genuinely confused at the question. Cursed why? What kind of question is that. I mean, I was just standing there in the middle of the hallway, my brain trying to process why the hell he was suddenly invading my personal space like he wanted to bite my head off. I shoved my hands deep into my pockets, trying to look like I still had total control over this house, over him, over everything. I let my lips pull back into a small grin. "Wait, are you jealous?" "Huh?" Gabriel shot at me, his eyes flaring with this sudden violent light behind his lenses. "Jealous for what?" He hissed the words right into my face, the sound scraping against my ears before he twisted on his heel and left me standing there. But I didn't just stay put. I followed him immediately, my heavy footsteps clicking against the floor as I trailed him right into our room, leaving the door wide open behind us. He didn't even try to slam it in my face, he just marched straight to the bed,

Gabriel's POV It was a brand new day. Derek and I were fully dressed on our way for lectures. I had fully recovered, ready to face the outside world again.. Honestly, stepping out of that apartment felt weird after being locked away for so long. To make things worse, Derek's cousin hadn't left yet, he kept bringing different guys to the house and Derek didn't seem bothered about it, I did though but no problem Derek and I were up the stairs and Scott was downstairs. I just forced myself to ignore the loud music and the random voices coming from the living room as we walked past. I had enough drama of my own to deal with without adding Scott's chaotic love life to the list. Derek drove to the campus and he parked in the driveway. Immediately we got down I could feel the eyes of everyone watching me. The air felt completely heavy all of a sudden, and every single person walking past the parking lot stopped to gawk. It was suffocating. I adjusted my shirt, my throat going com

Derek's POV "Awwwnnn at this point I wish I had my own step brother!" Erica said, smiling at the both of us. Her loud voice cut straight through the heavy fog in the air, her eyes sparkling with this annoying playful amusement as she looked at how close we were standing. I kept Gabriel well to a stand, making sure his wobbly, drunk knees didn't give out again under his own weight, and cleared my throat. My hand stayed locked around his side for a second longer than necessary before I forced myself to loosen my grip. I said, "It's late let's go home." Erica smiled, her lips pulling into a wide, knowing grin as she grabbed her purse from the table. "Okay boss. Let's go," she teased, her tone dripping with that chaotic energy that usually drove me mad. I didn't even bother giving her a smart retort. I just led the way out of the noisy bar, my hand resting firmly against the small of Gabriel's back to guide him through the thick crowd of drunk college students. We got out to th
