My Step Brother's Obsession - Carly #2

Thoughts

Kaden

I keep one eye on Caspian and the other on Carly and her friends. It seems so much more like home here than actually at home now. I'm beginning to understand why Carly prefers it here to home. Even if she had Adian she really had no one. Mom and Dad are in their own little bubble without a care in the world about either of us unless it is necessary.

No one who made my sister ended up in the arms of someone familiar to us. I mean, I don't even know if Aidan is any kind of relative to us. I'm fully aware that Liam is Carly's half-brother, as they have the same father, the same as me and Carly, but I'm not even sure where Aidan fits into the equation, as he and Liam used the same mother and not father, but Aidan isn't our blood relative, so I don't think their relationship is frowned upon unlike it would be if it was me and Carly or even Liam and Carly. I shudder. I can't even think about their relationship like that. I may have so many wrong feelings about my older sister, but he's not allowed to. I don't think Aidan will be too pleased if Liam has feelings for Carly when they are as close as brothers are.

Once breakfast is over, Carly heads to where she works alongside the psychologist or whatever the hell she is. All I know is they are there for the campers to help them get through their demons and camp. I'm so proud of Carly for choosing something that she thinks is worthwhile and worth her time. I had never realized how bad it was for her growing up and being bullied, and I had so many friends at school. I still do, they all seem to gravitate towards me as I'm an outgoing guy. Even with all the friends I have, I still feel lonely from time to time, and I'm glad when I return home to be close to the only person who feels the same way as I do but for different reasons than mine, apart from one not being able to be in the same place as I am. I often wonder if it would be the same if we were born twins.

The guys are cheating, and I don't have a clue what they're talking about, too wrapped in my own thoughts to care until someone breaks my thought path. "Guys, can you give me a few minutes with Kaden before he joins the others?"

"Yeah, sure Sarge."

Fuck I had zoned out that much, I hadn't realized that Caspian had joined us.

"Thanks guys."

They nod and walk away. I looked at him, still a little dazed. He smiles. "I would like to apologize for the stunt I pulled on both you and Christopher."

I shuddered at his name. I wanted to rip him apart all over again. "So you should. I mean, what the hell were are you thinking? Making us fight against each other on water?"

He grinned. Fucking grinned. I am so going to test his fucking ass.

"I thought it would be fun. I got the go-ahead from the officials the day before the finals. I knew you and Christopher were at loggerheads with each other and I knew you both were the strongest out of both camps. Some might see it as unfair and unjust. But, it wasn't. It was fair, and you kept yourself up well, considering it was after breakfast."

"I did my homework, Sergeant. Do you think that this is my first rodeo? Well, you're sadly mistaken. I learned from my first experience, obviously, that twat thought that he knew better by having a full English." I shook my head. "Luckily for me, I knew what was coming, unlike him."

He grinned. "And like I said, you're free to beat my ass any way you want."

"Oh, I intend to."

He grins. "Good, I look forward to it."

I grinned at him. "Oh, you will. Tomorrow by the lake, I feel free to fight back but, I can guarantee Kalmar is a bitch and so is revenge. I'll be heading home then, so I want the pleasure of knowing I got your sorry ass before I leave."

He nods. "I'll be there. See you later, Kaden."

"Later Sarg."

He grins and jogs away.

I'll beat his ass alright, and he'll never be able to let it go either case. Everyone will make it a constant reminder to him not to piss off a Kingsley.

Two days later

Carly

Yesterday was a hard day for both Kaden and I. Kaden had totally humiliated Caspian with his fighting techniques ones I never realized that he had up until the last day of the games, and more so yesterday, when he had put Caspian to shame. Even though Caspian said he could beat his ass for the fifth in the ring in the lake, he gave as good as he got until Kaden gave that little bit more and caught Caspian off guard, which ended him in the water as they continued to fight.

Though Kaden had been, Cas had been a better man than all of us ever had expected him to be and shook his hand and told him that Kaden was welcome back anytime to help show the kids some of his moves to help them defend themselves against bullies and others that tried to attack them. He smiled and nodded silently, agreeing to return in the summer holidays.

Christopher had been given a clean bill of health the day before Kaden and I went home. For a few days before, Kaden had to eventually leave for school. He had a few months left before he felt finished indefinitely and joined me for college. That was the best news I had received this Easter. Not only would I have Aidan with me, but my brother aswell, the three musketeers together again.

I'm so happy now nothing can go wrong. I have one year left and after that, I'm planning to go to uni and, hopefully, I will have my brother and my boyfriend with me.
