All Chapters of My Brother's Best Friend: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

NOVA "Nova," Marcus gives me a pointed look. "Did you know she was going to Ridgeview?" I still can't talk, neither can I process the question. I'm still stuck on the... Noah part. I'm still stuck at the part where he said Noah's on his way here. "Nova... Nova, look at me. You spaced out." I look up at him. "I... I'm sorry." I mutter. "You don't have to apologize for anything. Do you... do you understand what's going to happen if Noah's gets here?" Marcus stares at me and when I do nod, he continues. "Did you know she was going to Ridgeview?" "No." "You had no idea?" "I didn't know, Marcus. I told her not to go!" My voice cracks. I drop to my knees to grab my phone, my hands shaking so hard it takes me two tries to scoop it up. "She said she wanted to buy a dress. She joked about running into Noah, but I thought... I thought she was just being stupid. I didn't think she'd actually do it!" "Well, she did. And she ran right into him at the plaza near the campus." Marcus rubs a

NOVA Being back at school is no fun. Being back at home is no fun either. A part of me wishes I'm still at the valley, with Aunt Joan, Marcus, Kol and Chloe. Even though my cousins were immature and brought trouble to their doorstep, I still feel that I wouldn't feel like an outcast if I had stayed there. Enzo fucking released the statement. It made me look like an evil, jealous person. But I should be happy that it did exempt my brother. Mom keeps saying the damage has already been done. That no matter what Enzo's father does with his lawyers and even a PR team, there's little they can do. The only thing that can make the slate clean again, is if the girl releases a statement. And I would have gone to the end of the world to find the girl in question. But it involves talking to Enzo and he hates me. My brother hates me as well. "Just leave it be, baby." Mom glances at me from the driver's seat. I fold my arms. "It's not that easy mom. I made the mess. I should be the one to

NOVA My back hurts so bad. And it's not even because I've been busy helping Mom in the kitchen all evening making Noah's favourite. It's not because I feel so stiff as I make my way to my room. I think it's because I'd been carrying my backpack all day. With the envelope inside of it, I have trust issues. I didn't want anybody to find it first. Since I don't know what's in the envelope, it's safer there. I still can't believe I'm about to be a sorority girl. Well, if I can complete whatever task Bethany and her friends want me to. Hearing Gia and Serenity's tasks, I'm sure mine will be much worse. I don't think I give a fuck either. Whatever it is, I'm sure I can do it. Can't be anything worse than what the school thinks I did. Yes. I'm more optimistic now than this afternoon. "Baby, dinner's ready. Come on downstairs!" Mom's voice rings in my ears just as I grab my backpack. I dig into it, my fingers grasping the envelope, tearing it open just so I can see what's in it before di

NOVA Whatever they want Ava to tell me, I'm not going to stand here and listen. I don't think I want to even hear it. Curiosity is a bitch but I do feel so good about myself when I turn the other way and walk away. That feeling plummets the second a large body hits me head on. Others would say bumping but that's not what this is. Well, it's a bit of bumping and hitting. If I'd bumped into someone, I wouldn't be feeling this much dizzy and getting my head rolling. I stagger back, my brain already reeling for a befitting insult to this motherucker that I certainly have not crossed paths with before. "What is wrong with you?" I ask, raising my head to glare at him. Seriously. I don't care that I don't know this guy. I don't care that he looks clueless. Today already has enough problems for me and I don't need his headache that's incoming. "It was an accident." He says. I roll my eyes. "Oh stop. Watch where you're going, dick." I say, folding my arms, my glare still on my face.

NOVA I blink as Enzo leaves the class, leaving me and Caleb alone. Without wasting any time, I rush to Caleb, my eyes widening as I take in the way he looks. He has a split lip and his face has a tear. There are a lot of bruises on his face. He groans when he tries to move and stays still. Noah really did hurt him a lot. What do I do now? I can't report to the school that my brother did this, can I? Fuck this. I bend down and touch Caleb's face. He scowls, pushing my hand away from his face. "Don't." He mutters. "You're badly hurt." I say. "You need to see the school nurse or something..." "Your brother did this to me. Stop acting like you didn't see it." Caleb inhales deeply and he sits up in an upright position. "Yeah, after you said stuff that made him lose his temper." I say, still standing on it. "That was a shitty thing to say, especially to Noah." Caleb scoffs. "I didn't lie about anything. I meant everything I said. Fuck!" He groans, shutting his eyes. "Stay still an
