My Step Brother- Reece Bibby (Stereo Kicks)

Chapter 5: Bonding

Reece's POV:

I got in from a school. I was home alone for a while. My mum and Paul were working and Lia was with Tiffany. There was a note on the counter.

'Hey love, can you put away the washing for me when you get home? Love you lots mum x'

I smiled and put my bag down, I pick up the washing basket and walked up stairs I went into my room and put my clothes on my bed, then went to Paul and my mums bedroom then to Lia's. I walked into Lia's room and put her washed clothes on the bed. I felt something fall of the bed and land on my phone. Leaning down I picked it up, on the front it said Lia's Life. Being the nosey person I am, I opened it.

Lia Marie Russett

2nd page- PRIVATE KEEP OUT.

3rd page.

'There's this boy I really really like, but he keeps shutting me out..why, RB?'

I closed the book and placed it back on her bed. I stood there not knowing what to do? Does Lia like me? RB..Reece Bibby? It was written 2 days ago and I can't think of anyone that she could have met before school in Accrington.apart from me?

"Reece are you home?" I heard Lia call. As she closed the door. I ran out of her room and walked downstairs.

"Hey" I smiled softly walking downstairs.

"Mum and Dad are working until 9" Lia told me as she took off her coat.

"Okay" I replied walking through to the kitchen.

"We have to leave for the decorating soon" I told her as I put some pizza in the oven. She just nodded and walked upstairs, probably to get changed.

Lia's POV:

Oh my god, I left my diary out on my bed. What if someone's read it? What if someone saw what I said about the boy I like. 'RB'. I quickly hid it under my bed and got changed. I put on black leggings, nirvana top, a red flannel and some light brown timberlands.

"Lia my mum wants me in town, I'll e back in about 20 minutes, I'll be back in time for the pizza" Reece shouted.

"Okay" I replied. I heard the door shut. I brushed my hair and added some more makeup before heading downstairs.

Reece's POV:
I walked into the building my mum told me to meet her in. There she was stood there with my dad. My dad had been ill for the past few months and my mum was paying for his health care. I didn't say anything I just stood behind the corner and listened.

"I still love you Lyndsey" I heard my jerk of a father say. I peered round the corner slightly.

"Jamie I've moved on a-" My mum was cut off by my dad kissing her. My mum immediately pushed him off in disgust.

"I'm leaving" My mum scoffed picking up her bag and walking away. I stood at the door shaking my head. I walked away without saying a word, my mum was going back to work so I wouldn't have to face her.

"Reece wait!" my mum yelled across the street. I just ignored her and carried on walking. I wasn't going to tell anyone they kissed, it would ruin. everything.

Lia's POV:

Reece and I were now at the school setting up the hall. I was doing the tables and Reece was doing the lights. He had told me that he saw his mum with his dad, and that they were talking. We both finished our roles and sat up on the stage.

"Sooo what was it like seeing your mum with your dad?" I asked softy.

"It was weird, but my mum doesn't really give a toss, she was the one who walked out on us and my dad looked after me until he got ill and turned all physco" Reece signed fidgeting.

"Well if that hadn't happened then we wouldn't of met" I smiled softly.

"suppose that's one good thing about it" Reece smiled leaning to his side and pushing me lightly.

Reece's POV:

It was at this moment I realized I was falling for Lia. My Step Sister.

"Suppose that's one good thing about it" I smiled leaning to my side and pushing her lightly. She stared at me smiling. I leaned in slowly glancing from her eyes to her lips. She turned her head away causing me to pull back.

"We should go" She half whispered/spoke. I jumped down from the stage and put my hands out to help her down. She smiled and jumped down. I reached out for her hand but he rejected. I looked round to see her looking worried.

"What so I can't hold your hand?" I asked nicely. I placed my hand out, she put her small hand in mine.

"Nobody has to know" I spoke softly. She smiled and intertwined our fingers. We walked up to the doors smiling.
