Cold stepbrother [Jace Norman]

Chapter 14

Jace's pov:

As soon as y/n left. I started feeling anxious. I could sit still for a minute. Horrible thoughts took over my mind. I quickly grabbed my keys and left. I got in my car and quickly drove to Mark's mansion. How did I know the party was there? I got a personal invitation from Mark.

I was stuck in the traffic, cursing over the people who won't go faster. Soon after, I reached the place and parked my car. Not wanting to waste my time on people calling me there, I ignored them and kept going in further, my eyes looked for y/n. But she was nowhere to be seen. I felt a rush of emotions take over me.

"Hey have you seen y/n?" I asked one of the guys from her class. "Uh yeah I saw her going upstairs with Mark." The guy said and quickly ran upstairs.

When I got there I found y/n and Mark in the corner of the room, y/n was drunk and Mark was trying to take advantage of her but I was fast enough to pull that fucker away from her. She passed out right there. I took off my jacket and placed it around.

"Woah. Easy boy...If you want her too then let's share." My blood boiled. "Fucker, if I see you near her again I won't let you live in peace" I quickly turned and my fist met his so called handsome face. He fell and held his nose. His nose was bleeding and I was happy as hell. I would have beat the hell out of him but y/n was more important.

I smirked and carried y/n bridal style. Most of the people at the party were drunk so they didn't seem to pay attention to us. I placed her on the seat next to me and went to my seat. I drove us home, during the ride, y/n kept on mumbling stuff in her sleep. I chuckled at her cuteness.

Y/n's pov:

My eyes slowly opened, first thing I see was the ceiling. It looked like I was back home but who brought me back? I got up, slowly sitting, holding my head as it was hurting a lot. "Oh you are up? Hey don't get up." I heard Jace, who just walked in with food. I looked at him confused, then looked at myself and found myself in my party outfit.

"You brought me back?" He nodded and placed the food next to me. "Come on eat up." He started feeding me like I was a baby. I stared at him while he kept on feeding me. "Is it good?" He asked and I nodded. "Thank god." I chuckled and he giggled. "You made this?" He nodded. "It's great." He grinned which made my heart skip a beat.

Suddenly I remembered everything that happened at the party. I felt so disgusted, the way Mark touched me. It made me wanna throw up. I couldn't hold back my tears. "Hey hey, what's wrong? Is it hot? Or is it gross?" I chuckled through my tears. He quickly placed the tray away. "You remember it?" He asked and I looked at him with teary eyes. He got up and sat next to me. Taking me in his arms, he placed my head on his chest as I cried harder, hugging him back.

He kept on stroking my back. "I won't leave him. Don't worry." He spoke in a soft voice. "I'm sorry..." I choked on my tears. "Why are you sorry? It's not your fault, I should have gone with you instead of arguing with you like a kid." I looked up at him with doe eyes. He smiled softly. "I'm sorry because...I-I didn't listen to you...and I shouldn't have worn this outfit..." He hugged me tightly.

"It's ok. We both were wrong and we both apologized. I know it is hard for you to forget it easily but I promise I'll never let anything happen to you...and as for that fucker, I'll make him pay for what he did." I giggled in his chest. "Thanks a lot." We both stayed like that for a while, his heart beating right in my ears. Which was so soothing.

Jace's pov:

We both stayed in each other's arms until she looked up. Our eyes met, I wiped her tears away and smiled. This was definitely weird because siblings are not like this...
I felt her leaning in, my heartbeat raced as I felt her breath hitting my lips. I soon felt her lips on mine. My whole world stopped. Her soft lips molded perfectly with mine. The kiss was soft yet passionate. As the reality hit me, I softly pushed her away, making her look at me with confused expressions.

"W-we can't do this..." I said and got up. I was going to leave but she held my hand. "Jace...I know the truth..." I was confused as hell. She stood in front of me. "I know about your dads letter." My eyes widened. "W-what?" She smiled. "Your dad gave me one too." She opened the drawer and pulled out a letter, holding it in front of me. I took it and started reading it.

Dear y/n,

First off, I want to thank you for accepting me and Jace in your life. I know it was hard for you after your fathers death. But it meant so much to me when your mom told me that you are ok with our marriage and us moving in with you two.

You have always been like a daughter to me, but at some point I saw the tension between you and Jace. I thought you both might never get along but I never lost hope. Then I found you both finally getting along. But I could see the way you both looked at each other, it was not like how siblings look at each other, it was different. A good different.

You know how to handle his cold personality. But trust me, he was never like this. And I am sure you are the only one who can bring back his old self. I believe in that.

I wish you all the best for your future. You both have my prayer with you at all times.

With love,
Your stepdad ;)

As I finished reading the letter, tears skipped my eyes as I looked up to see y/n with a soft smile on her face. She stepped forward and looked down before looking back up at me with a bright smile.

"Still think it is wrong?" I looked at her speechless.
