My Step Brother's Obsession - Carly #2

Broken And Shattered Beyond Repair

Kyler

I remember when Star came to J and I with the news neither of us were expecting. Carly had moved on not with someone we didn't know and could convince her to leave but Ethan fucking Hollingway. Of all the people she could've ended up with, it was him the homewrecking asshole.

Both J and I stared at each other in disbelief. We weren't sure that we had heard correctly. But Star assured us we had and we all sat down as J and I absorbed the news. The news that was tearing us both inside and out no wonder she had rejected my offer that day she already had plans to go to him. Him, of all people. We sat and listened to Star unravelling the brutal truth that Carly was hiding that day. Our fists clenching angrily why hadn't she come to us instead of leaving?

We agreed to talk things through and see if we could fix what was broken, but it seems she wasn't willing to do that so she upped and left without taking our feelings into consideration. Then that douche cornered her and made her live with him. She had a choice to stay or leave, she chose to stay. I was done moping around thinking of ways to get her back when she's made her mind up and gone with the man she repeatedly told us she had no interest in, what utter bullshit.

We thanked Star for letting us both know and she hugged both of us letting us know she wasn't happy about it either but she had chosen not to interfere and let it ride it's course and when Carly had finally come to her senses she would leave the asshole prick. But that wasn't our problem now she'd betrayed us in the worst possible way. I wasn't even sure if J and I could get through this kind of betrayal, twice stung and all. At least we had each other.

I hope

Star smiled as she got in her car and pulled away. Jonathan paced his arm over my shoulders squeezing it. "Well at least we know the truth now. I'm sorry Ky I know you would've done anything to keep her even if I wasn't part of it. But we've both got to face reality. She's made her choice and we weren't simply it.

I nod knowing he's right.

"Come on, let's head home."

"I don't feel like going home."

"Pub it is to drown our sorrows and whatnot."

I nod I couldn't agree more. He took his arm from around me and we headed into town to get plastered. Unfortunately for us we had to see the two people we didn't think we would see together looking all lovey dovey and holding hands like we used to. Right in our faces. I gritted my teeth and Jonathan squeezed my hand. "Let it go Ky, we're better than them, better than him."

I nodded and simmered down but there would be a day they both had to face us. Especially him, he'd destroyed everything that we had built up leaving us broken and beyond repair. He would pay. No matter how long it took, he would pay.

Ethan

I was the happiest I had ever been. I was with the girl that I had dreamed about all the time I was touring. I hadn't even told Alijah yet. I will tell him soon. I'll make sure he gets an invite to the wedding. I know it's a long way off. But I want to spend the rest of my life with Carly. We're heading to the doctors right now. She's a little concerned that she's missed a few of her periods. I'm not to be honest. She's taken a few tests but they've all come back negative so she wants to go to the doctors to make sure that everything is working right.

We head onto the surgery and she books in and we wait until she's called. She goes in by herself just in case the doctor has to do any examinations. I wait until she comes out and tells me we have to head to the hospital for an ultrasound as they've done and internal and everything seems fine but she needs to be sure. I nod and we head out and head to my car. Once we get in Carly is quiet and I pull away and head towards the hospital if she is pregnant it makes it a lot easier to ask her what's been on my mind for the past several months.

Now she's not working with me and has her own practice we barely see each other unless it's supper or the weekend I don't like it, but she told me straight she was opening up her new practice and there wasn't shit I Codi do about it as she had already put in her notice and it had been granted by one of my supervisors, something else I wasn't happy about. She had worked out her month's notice and with me trying to get her to reconsider. She ignored me point blank and told me if I took this away from her she would never forgive me and she would leave my sorry ass.

I wasn't going to ever let that happen so I agreed to let her go once the month was up and follow her dreams like I had hoping Carly would be part of those dreams with me. But having her with me in every other way would have to do.

I pull up outside the hospital and we get out of the car. I lace my fingers with hers and we head inside. Carly asks directions for the scanning area and once we know where to go we head to where they do the ultrasounds. We wait and Carly drinks a lot of juice and I mean a lot. We wait a while until she's called in and is told to lie on the bed and push her trousers down so they can place it then roll there and they sonographer squirts the gel on the ultrasound device and presses ot on to Carly's belly and begins to move it around I see a little blob on the screen and the sonographer pressed some buttons and enlarges the screen. She looks at us and smiles. "Congratulations."

Carly's face pales and I smile brightly. "Thanks."

She removes the device away and calry cleans the gel off her tummy and closes and Spain's up her jeans. She passes the piece of paper to a still shokedcarly. "You'll have to give this to your doctor so you can see your midwife and come for regular scans."

She nods.

"Thanks again." I say helping Carly off the bed.

The sonographer smiles and we head out of the room Carly finally snaps out of her shocked state and lets go of my hand rushing to the bathroom. Once she returns we head out of the hospital to the car we both get in and I drive away.

Carly

I can't believe I'm pregnant, by him of all people I wished it had been J or Ky at least their intentions were good. They wanted kids and we were heading down that road, why the hell had I fucked it up? Now I'm pregnant by a guy I don't even love. His obsession is tenfold now that I'm pregnant it's going to be worse now I'm pregnant I can't even terminate cause if he finds out fuck knows how he will react or what he'll do to me. If I try to run he'll find me.

Fuck why is my life so fucking messed up?

I stayed silent on the way home. I really don't want to talk to him and tell him I don't want this cause he'll flip his lid. I don't know what Ethan I'm getting half the tie, it scares me.

No one knows he's bipolar but me. He's told me to keep it tight to my chest. He wasn't happy when I found the pills, ones he'd apparently hid from everyone who knew him over the years. I had found them by mistake and he had flipped big time so much so I had feared for my life. Then like a flip of the switch he went back to being normal Ethan who donated on my every move. I have no idea how I ended up pregnant. I was on contraception. I wasn't ready to have children with someone as unstable as Ethan was. I would have welcomed the pregnancy with J and Kyler, they weren't mentally unstable.

We arrived back home and got out of the car and headed inside. I slumped down on the sofa as Ethan closed and locked the door. He headed toward the sofa and kneeled in front of me. "I love you so much Carly and you've made me the happiest man on earth to grace me with a baby. Our baby. He pulled out a box from his pocket. He opened it. A diamond ring sat in the middle. "I've been thinking about this for a while now. You're carrying our baby. It's perfect timing."

"What are you talking about Ethan?"

"I know this is a little out of the blue, but Carly Evans, will you make em the happiest man on earth and marry me?"

"I.. I..."

"Please baby. It's the perfect thing to keep us altogether. One being happy family what do you say?"

"Y..yes."

He smiles and presses his lips on mine kissing me hungrily.

He moves away smiling liek a Cheshire Cat. "You don't knwo how happy you've made me baby."

I smile awkwardly I knwo exactly how he is feeling something I'm not. I'm jsut goign to have to keep reminding myself I'm dong it for the baby.
