Being in love with my stepbrother

Chapter 8

Caroline's POV

I won't cry. I don't want to but I can feel one tear go down on my cheek I quickly brush it away.

- You promised me you will be there! - I shout at him. I can see on him he is angry. - You told me you won't let her get to me! - I shout again, to him and I throw an other pillow at him which of course he caught it again.

In the last hour I packed everything out. So my room finally looked like my room and a studio emailed me too. And I bought dad and Jules a good one week getaway. So they are on the road already. So we are all alone. No one can hear me shout.

- Yeah. I know but you shouldn't skip. Why didn't you wait for us? - he asks me and try to get closer. I stand up and started to space.

- Caitlyn started to rumbling about me being hot for you and Xander and even that guy. Landon? - I sighed. I am not hot for anyone for god sake.

- All right. Caroline. Please sit down. - he tells me.

- I can't. - I told him. - I have to... I have to... Wait? How did you get here? How do you know I skipped? - I stopped and watched him.

- The principal doesn't want to call your dad and I run. - I sucked in a breath. He run? Because of me?

- How are you feeling about that? - I ask him and smiled a little.

- Good. - I have seen him swallow. Yeah he is still not sure but I think he loved it.

- I hate this school Samuel. - I tell him. - I hate it. - I kicked one of my pillow and started to sob as I sat on my floor.

I can feel him sit beside me and hug my shoulder for comfort.

- I can't be with you all the time, Caroline. I will talk with Caitlyn to leave you alone. - he whispers.

- Like that would happen. - I said sarcastically.

He fished his phone out from his pocket and dialed someone.

- Who are you calling? - I asked him panicking. Don't call Caitlyn. - Caitlyn? - I whisper.

Samuel's POV

- No it's not Caitlyn. - I reply, calling the number on my phone . - Hey Xander, I need to talk to Caroline, could you bring some dinner home around 8:00? - I ask, watching Caroline as she looks at me confused.

- Sure thing, see you then. - replies Xander,

- Thanks, drive safe. - I say, hanging up the phone.

- Why did you call Xander? - Asks Caroline with big eyes.

- So that way you could talk to me, and I wouldn't have to cook. - I answer chuckling. Caroline smiles slightly, her eyes still teary.

- What do you want me to talk to you about today? - Sighs Caroline.

- You know, what happened today. Have you ever skipped before? - I reply. Caroline sighs..

- Not really. - she says, I glance at her, pressing for more detail. - I've purposefully been like 20 minutes late to class but that it. - adds Caroline.

- So what? Caitlyn saying that you liked me, Xander and Landon made you upset? Come on, that's like preschool stuff, there's more to it than that I know it. - I reply, Caroline blushes. - Oh so you do like one of us, who is it? Landon? I can set you up with him or Xander, just ask. - I continue.

- Why would you do that? - Questions Caroline, looking sad and happy at the same time.

- Because if you like someone, you deserve to have a chance with them. - I smile in reply. - So who is it? - I press.

Caroline's POV

- Yeah I know. But... - I bite my lip and closed my eyes. - Landon was cute but I don't know. He could be my hook up for tomorrow party, but no one  else really. - Oh God.

Do I really need to talk about my boy problem with my step brother who was handsome and caring and he knows almost everything about me already.
Landon was really cute but I think we don't have that connection between us like with Samuel. He is not ready. I thought to myself.

- But you don't need to set me up with him. He will be at the party. I will dress up and do some makeup and go for it. - I chuckled. - We should talk about something else. - I tell him.

- Why?- Because I don't want to talk about it, I think this is all ridiculous. I skipped because that bitch told me to fuck off. I am pathetic.

- Just... Leave it. - I tell him and stand up. - I payed a getaway for our parents for a week. Hope they will enjoy it or enjoy each other far from us. - I chuckled with Samuel.

- Wait. Where did  you get the money? - he asked me.

Oh great. Think Caroline. Think. In that moment my first song went on in the radio.

"Ladies and gentlemen this new song is from Jade. She is very talented and hope we will get more song from her. So Jade: Broken wings is on..."

I sucked in a breath. Yeah that's where the money come from.
Samuel started to listen it then his eyes got all wide and he looked at me.
