I gritted my teeth as my phone went off for the millionth time. I yanked it out of my pocket and looked at the screen, knowing who was calling. Fucking Brooke. That girl couldn't take a hint but fine, if she wanted to hear it then she would.
"I gotta take this." I said and stood up from the couch. Hayden nodded, eyeing the phone then looking back at me.
"Pierce." He stopped me on the threshold of the kitchen.
I turned to him, knowing what he was about to say.
"You're like a brother to me and I love you like one which is why I'm warning you, don't hurt my sister. I trust you with her which is why I don't mind you winning her over but once you do, ditch the player thing. Don't fuck her up, she's not as strong as she pretends she is." Hayden warned and I nodded with a smirk.
"I'd rather cut my own cock off, brother. But don't worry, I know who Tay is and I won't hurt her. Which is why I am about to make the piss poor substitute cry." I smirked and held up the phone. Hayden rolled his eyes at the name on my screen before turning back to the movie.
"Good luck with that one." He snickered and I knew I was going to need it. Brooke could get nasty and she was rich enough to back up her threats. Luckily for me, there was nothing I cared about for her to use against me.
I stepped out onto the back steps, leaning against the railing and answering my phone.
"Can't take a hint?" I answered and Brooke sobbed into the phone. I clenched my jaw, hating that she couldn't just accept it and move on. It's not like we were in love or I had made any promises. She had been a bit of fun for a the last few months, a distraction but now that I had a taste of the real thing still on my lips and my mind, I knew the fake was never going to sate me like it had been.
"You can't just break up with me over text, Pierce." She cried.
"I just did, Brooke. We're over. Get over it." I bit and she wailed harder.
"Why?" She sobbed and I clenched my jaw.
"It's just not working for me anymore. Look I have to go but have a nice night and stop calling." I said then hung up, letting out a breath of relief. Taylor was so close to being mine, she was resisting because she was scared of being hurt but that was the last thing I wanted to do to her.
"You are such a dick." Taylor said and I looked over to see her head poking out of the window to her room. I shrugged.
"I can be." I admitted and she shook her head, a smirk playing on her lips before she turned away. I grinned and went down the three steps, moving around the railing to her window. I placed my hands on the window frame then hauled myself up, climbing into her room with a grin as she spun to me, a gasp slipping from her lips.
"What the hell are you doing?" She whispered, her eyes wide as she checked down the hall, closing the door to her room. Probably hiding from Niko who was still here. That fucker could run back home and put his cock between his whore's legs where he belonged.
A tiny slither of guilt scratched at my chest for the harshness in my thoughts. I did owe Niko a lot. My life technically but he had seriously lessened my appreciation by what he had done to Taylor.
I still owed him one from when he had pulled me from my car. It had been raining and I could barely see, one minute I was driving, the next, I was swerving off the road and into a lake. I would have drowned down there, my seatbelt jammed, the dark swallowing me alone but he was there with a switchblade, cutting me free. I had never repaid him and I needed to or I'd forever owe him but I wasn't in a grateful mood at the moment so I'd give it a bit before I figured out how to get that debt off my back. I moved my thoughts back to Tay as she edged to the door, checking Niko wasn't coming down the hall.
