from the start

Chapter 1:Kai.

I was excited.
And admittedly ashamed I was. What brought about this excitement was a single being, the only being that could possibly make me use the word excited especially when talking about the mere sight of a person.
I was going to Jake's house and the only reason I was ready to leave a literal minute after he called was his sister.i knew what I felt for her was more than adoration but who will admit that? Not me.
I pulled up into Jake's driveway, erased the stupid grin from my face and knocked on the door.
"Jake,Kai is here"Autumn said shouting to her brother who I guessed was in the kitchen.
The door was opened and I was once again shocked by the beauty in front of me. She was a goddess sent down to earth as punishment for being more beautiful than Aphrodite herself. Her long, silky dark hair was pulled back by her claw clip leaving only 2 front peices reliesed from captivity. Her big blue eyes,pink lips long lashes and dimples were proof that God has favorites.She always wore gold jewelry, although light. It was her staple piece, once she told me that she felt naked without it on and the image could not leave my mind for a week.
"Come in Kai." She said opening the door wider. "Jake is in the kitchen, you can go and meet him or stay in the sitting room"
I really wanted to take the second option so I could stay there with there with her but there where plenty painful reasons that pushed my decision.
"I'll go meet him in the kitchen" I sighed walking towards it "oh and if you here me scream know i am being murdered by a mad chef" I said with a playful smile covering my face
" Can the Almighty MalaKai scream at the hands of a person" she joked she has no clue
...
"Hello dude"I said grabbing the apron I was forced to wear when ever I walked into this hellhole that was Jake's paradise."I hope you did not call me here to help with some stupid pie coz I swear to God I will--"Iwas caught off by the sound of a door closing "--leave the house" i said completing my sentence."is Autumn going anywhere" I said trying to sound more curious than jealous.
"Out with her boyfriend" Jake Said kneading the dough. "I don't know why I let her hangout with that dreaded Gus" he said with an obvious disgust in his voice.
"You can easily stop it since you are her legal guardian"I huffed washing my hands so I could join him .
Jake and Autumn's parents both died from drowning in a  lake as they were going on a canoe ride. "Romantic" I thought to myself. Autumn was 2 years younger than Jake whose 18 years old, he was 14 when his parents died so he came to live with my family. We did not adopt them of course, but from spending so much time with me he was the only one that was not afraid of me and Autumn was the only girl that can look me in my eye. They left when they he was sixteen and moved into an apartment 8 blocks away.
"She thinks she is all grown up and can pick her own company but she is not even 17 yet"Jake complained dragging my attention back to the topic of Gus.
"Ok dude what do you want me to help you with" I said trying to drage his attention away from that abusive, gaslighting, ugly asshole called Gus
"He hit her again yesterday on her arm. I don't necessarily think it was a hit it was more like a rough grab the marks are still on her arm"he spat. As an aspirating doctor
He dreads the fact that his first and only patient is his sister who comes to him either bleeding or swollen from beatings caused by the person who she claims to love
This situation has been handled time and time again by giving him his own trashing, talking to and even making them break up only for them to get back together a week later.
"Let's forget about Gus"I said walking towards Jake.
"How? Kai, how? Your not the one tending to your little sisters injuries while she tells you it's her fault she got them. She is a good kid. A really good kid, so God tell me why it's him she chose to love" Jake said and at this point he was looking straight at me, defeated.
"She chose to love" those words hit me like a bullet
She chose to love him
