The Battle Of The Brothers

-c h a p t e r 2-

˜"*°•.˜"*°•"nice to meet you"•°*"˜.•°*"˜

I froze trying to recognise who had just watched me break the bracelet, i turned around and looked up to see a boy slightly taller than me, he looked around my age and had glowing skin, to be fair i was quite jealous of it, his hair was curly and reached just above his dark brown eyes, the sun was shining down on his smile..i admired how he smiled effortlessly and didn't have to force it.

"it's rude to stare you know" the boy said to me looking in my eyes,i felt my cheeks blush and i rolled my eyes.

"aren't you doing the same thing though i mean you've been watching me for the past two minutes.." i said with a shaky voice.

"are you okay you sound upset?"
i tried my best not to cry hearing those words, they always broke me.
I just turned my head trying to ignore the boy.

I leaned to grab the bag up of the floor again and suddenly felt a hand touch my shoulder, i looked up as a tear fell from my face.

"what's the matter are you okay?" the unknown boy said to me with comforting eyes.

"i'm just homesick that's all i'm fine."
i blurted trying to convince him,

"i hope you feel better soon, hopefully you will settle in fast." he said slowly and gently rubbing my shoulder, my dad did the exact same to me whenever i lost a baseball game..in that moment i felt at home again. At peace. I smiled slightly and he smiled back,

"here i'll help you with your stuff" he said bending down to grab two boxes.

In that moment my sadness immediately went away and i put my bag onto my wrist so i could grab the last remaining box out of the car boot.

"so how come your moving here?" he said as we walked up to the path leading to my front door.

i stared at the floor and chuckled before saying,
"apparently a fresh start, that's what my mom told me."

He smirked a little and we got to the front door, i opened it as i had one free hand and i stepped in first.

As soon as i looked around the cold empty room i immediately felt lost again, my stomach churned and i felt slightly sick, as i looked around i felt a warm hand rub my back,

"it's okay, it'll feel like home soon." he said to me.

I smiled as he looked at me and we headed to put the boxes and my bag down.

There was a sofa and television already in what i assumed was the living room
so i slid my feet out of my trainers and jumped down on the sofa, i patted the space next to me so the boy would sit next to me.
He smiled as he sat down next
to me and we both turned our heads and stared at each other,

"i thought it was rude to stare." i said giggling as i stared into his sparkling eyes.

"it is, but i can't help it when it comes to you." he said not moving a muscle.

I felt my cheeks redden and i turned my face so he couldn't see.

Thankfully, his phone started to vibrate in his shorts pocket and he answered it.

I listened in to the conversation, can you blame me?

I couldn't really hear what the other person was saying but i tried to gather what the conversation was about from what the random boy was saying, all he said was;
"hey...oh okay...see you soon bye."
I just decided to wait for him to end the phone and when he did he looked at me with sad eyes and stood up,

"i have to go that was my brother on the phone, mom needs me home for dinner."
he said looking at me as he fiddled with his hands.

I was sad but i didn't want him to know that of course, he was the only 'friend' i'd ever had. I stood up and stared at him for a moment before saying,

"that's fine, but we never introduced ourselves?" .
I realised we had known eachother for atleast 15 minutes and i knew nothing about him apart from the fact he was a tall boy around my age with curly hair , perfect skin and stunning eyes.

He backed away heading to the door but was still staring at me..he was smirking and he turned his head for a second to see where the door was. He stopped at the door and said,

"My names Jaden...Jaden Walton." so now i knew the mystery boy was called Jaden, it was a cute name and it suited him.

"My names Stella, not that you asked." i blurred out trying not to make a fool of myself in front of the only person whose ever actually shown interest in me.

"Cute name for a Cute girl, see you soon hopefully..neighbour." he said as he opened the front door and jogged outside down the driveway.

I tried to process everything he just said,
cute name?
cute girl?
NEIGHBOUR?

i smiled to myself and closed my eyes...maybe...just maybe...this whole moving situation really could be getting better like he said.
