My Step Brother's Obsession - Carly #2

We've been played

Kyler and bulldog Jr stood mouths agape this was obviously she was very close to from deduction they could tell he wasn't the boyfriend though  she'd never said his name in front of them they knew she wouldn't be hugging the dude right now if he was he'd have a fist in the face so exactly who is this dude.

She pulled away from the hug. "I didn't think I would see you until fall."

"I wanted to surprise you sis."

Argh. They looked at each other and smiled. This was the dude she's talked about not seeing much of as he was in a private school. They didn't know the details of why but they could tell they were really close so why separate them?

"Come on, I want you to meet my friends."  She dragged him over to them by his hand and stopped in front of Kyler and bulldog Jr. "Kaden I'd like you to meet my friends and instructors Kyler and bulldog Jr."

He looked them up and down as if scrutinising them to say if they were good enough for his sister's company. He smiled and held out his hand. "It's nice to meet both of you, I'm Kaden Carly's younger brother."

They smiled at least he had manners. Unlike some they could name. They shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kaden Carly has spoken a lot about you."

He smirked. "All good I hope."

She nudged him.

"She praised you a lot."

He grinned widely. We wrapped his arm around her, squeezing her into his side. "She's the best, this one. We're like two peas in the pod. Pity mom and dad don't see it. They think we're rebellious teenagers and we get on each other's nerves which is the exact opposite Carly poo can always count on me for support. I'll always be there for her."

They raised their eyebrows trying not to laugh. 

Carly poo?" They asked, amused.

She slapped his arm. "I told you not to call me that, Kadey wadey."

They burst out laughing and Kaden rolled his eyes. "You know if it was anyone else but me they'd be flat on their ass."

She cut her eyes at him. 

They continued laughing. They stayed and talked for a while. Kaden seemed interested in what they were doing at the camp so they told him what it involved before their parents called them to get in the car. They hugged and fist bumped before leaving the camp.

Kyler looked at bulldog Jr. "He's so into her."

Bulldog Jr nodded. Even if Carly hadn't noticed they had. Maybe that was the real reason they'd sent her brother to a private school where he'd only be able to come home during holidays. So he didn't show too much affection toward his older sister. 

Carly and her family returned home sitting down to supper. "Sergeant Hollngway was pleased with your progress during camp . I just hope you can continue with that progress when you return to school."

Me too. She thought. "I'll try mom."

"You'll do more than try, you'll do."

"It's t wants my fault mom it was alijah's but I always get the blame for everything and I'm sick of it just because I'm different." She said, pushing the chair out.

"Finish your food."

"I've suddenly lost my appetite." She said walking away leaping up the stairs.

"Cut her some slack mom. She's been through enough you of all people should know what she's going through. But as usual she comes to me not you. Now I understand why. You want to push your past behind you and forget it and to do that you ignore what's happening to your daughter." Kaden sud, pushing his plate away. "May I be excused I've lost my appetite." 

Hope nodded and he left them at the table. Hope teared up and Josh wrapped his arms around her. "It's going to be babe. She'll be okay."

"He's right Josh. I've been trying to push my past out of my head every time she's been bullied instead of sympathising. This isn't me Josh. I should be there for her instead of blaming her for what she's going through instead of being there for her."

"Give her some time and space then talk to her." He said kissing her lips softly. "She'll understand."

She sure hoped so.

Kaden knocked on her door. "Go away."

"It's me Carly poo not mom or dad."

"It's open." She said, quickly wiping her tears away. 

He let himself in and closed the door. He lay beside her in the bed and pulled her into his arms. "It will get better Sis."

"How? She's never going to believe me. I hate all of this kaden. She's the one who put these camps together for kids like me, but she's the opposite of what I am. She doesn't care that I'm getting bullied by not one but three guys and wasn't happy I protected myself.  It's like I'm the freak of the family and no one gives a shit about the freak goth girl just what everyone else thinks about her."

"That's not true Sis. I don't care what other people think of you. You're the best sister anyone could wish for your brave, brainy and you care. Yeah you have a weird sense of fashion but that's you fuck em all Carly if they don't like who you are they can go and fuck themselves."

She smiled. "Thanks Kaden, that means a lot."

He smiled, kissing her brow. "I'm not the only one that cares about Carly poo, you have Aiden too."

She snored. "No I don't he's lied to me he was the only guy that understood me and once my back was turned he was hooking up with another girl."

"Are you sure, that doesn't sound like Aiden."

"I saw the pictures kaden."

"Maybe you should ask him before you accuse him of anything pictures can tell us what we want them to.  Even if he was with another girl there may be a genuine explanation, just talk to him."

"I'm not ready, not just yet."

"When you're ready sis. Just hear him out."

She nodded. "I'm glad you're here Kaden."

"Me too."
