All Chapters of Obsessed With My Step Brothers : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The therapy center was our first stop. I had expected him to drop me off and leave, considering the number of things he would definitely have to handle on a Monday morning. But he surprised me by walking inside with me.Chris followed behind us with his hands buried in his pockets and an expression as hard as always. I filled out the necessary forms while Sean handled the arrangements with the receptionist.Eventually, a therapist was assigned to me, and my first proper session was scheduled for Friday evening.That suddenly felt very close.I stared at the appointment card in my hand."You will be fine," Sean said.Without looking at him, I muttered, "Thank you.""You are welcome."I glanced at Chris.He was leaning on the wall beside the exit, staring at me expectantly."What?"He cleared his throat, "I am still standing here.""Do you want to get signed up for anger therapy?" I said sassily. "Perhaps a little appreciation would be appropriate.""For what?""For coming with you.

Monday. After what felt like an entire lifetime of being suspended, dragged around by Sean, one therapy session, fighting Chris, and trapped in the Kane mansion, I was finally going back to school.I stood in front of my mirror buttoning my white shirt.My deep purple pleated skirt was neatly pressed, my blazer hung perfectly over my shoulders, and, like always, I checked my sleeves twice to make sure they covered every scar on my arms.I picked up my school bag and took one last look at myself.No matter what happened today, I was going to survive it. I walked downstairs expecting a quiet morning, but voices stopped me at the door of the dining room."...I'm telling you she deserves to know,” Dad sounded frustrated.Susan answered immediately, "And I'm telling you this is the worst possible time.""What happens when she finds out from someone else?" Dad asked."She won't find out if everyone keeps their mouth shut.""That isn't realistic, Susan.""It is realistic if people learn to

I could deal with that text message later. Right now, I had something else to deal with.I opened Ivy's chat and typed quickly.Rebel: Can you meet me somewhere private? I need to talk to you. Chris also wants to talk to you. I sent it.Chris was already starting to walk away."Where are you going?""To class” he replied, turning away from me. "You said you would talk to Ivy.""I said I would. But right now, I have somewhere to be."I marched towards him and caught the back of his sleeve, "You are not escaping."He looked down at my hand, “Did you just grab me?""Yes.""You are very brave for someone who needs me to keep her away from Vanessa."I released him immediately, "I was only preventing you from running away.""I wasn't running.""You were walking suspiciously fast. You're avoiding responsibility.""Fine. I will stay.""Good."We stood there waiting.The awkwardness didn't last long.Chris started making fun of the way Vanessa had dramatically announced my return, imitating

By lunchtime, I sat across from Dwayne in the cafeteria, pushing my food around my plate without actually eating any of it.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the water bath tipping. I heard the girl's scream.Then I saw Vanessa standing there, pointing at me like she had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to destroy me. Which she definitely had. I glanced at Dwayne. “You're really going to finish that?” I asked.He looked down at his plate where he had been munching off. “Why wouldn't I?”“After what happened this morning?”“Especially after what happened this morning. I need strength.”I smiled faintly before my expression fell again, “I wonder if the girl is fine.”Dwayne put his fork down, “I don't know.”“We should check on her.”He nodded immediately, “I was thinking the same thing.”We left the cafeteria together and headed toward the school's sick bay. The corridor was unusually quiet, probably because most students were still at lunch.When we reached the sick bay, we

I sat beside Sean, staring through the window as the streets passed by in a blur. My eyes were still swollen from crying, and every now and then I caught myself touching my sleeves, making sure they were pulled firmly over my arms.But there was something I hadn't told him yet. Something that had been sitting at the back of my mind since Ivy threatened me.“Do you want to know the revenge thing Ivy was talking about?” I asked eventually.Sean glanced at me, “Yes.”“She wants to do something really terrible to Vanessa.”His eyebrows lifted slightly, “Tell me more?”I nodded, “You're probably going to think she's insane.”“Ivy found out something really embarrassing about Vanessa.”Sean turned a corner, “What?”“She has private videos of Vanessa.”His eyes flicked toward me, “What kind of videos?”“A lot. She recorded Vanessa during a party last month. Vanessa was drunk, and she was saying things about people's parents. Parents that received bribes from her parents so they wouldn't put
