Step brother [A Prodigy Short Story] *completed*

Forgive and Forget...I think

Miya's p.o.v.

I woke up the next morning pissed off. I’d dreamt that we were back at the old house. Just me, mommy, and Ci, but once I realized we weren’t, I turned back sour. I got up to use the bathroom and brush my teeth then headed downstairs to fix some breakfast. I felt like being nice so I made enough for Ci, and Roc as well. Prod came in the kitchen, saw the food, and a smiled crept across his face. Too bad he wasn’t getting any.

Me- tf you smiling so hard for?

Prod- I don’t know. I just think it was sweet of you to cook me breakfast.

Me- nigga don’t flatter yourself. None of this is for you.

The smile on his face dropped and I smirked with satisfaction. I called Ci, and Roc down and they yelled they were coming. I fixed a plate and began to eat with Craig staring me down the entire time. It got annoying so I had no choice but to say something.

Me- what the hell are you looking at?

Craig- look, I just want to say sorry for everything. And truth is i-

He stopped in mid sentence. I was eager to hear what else he had to say so I looked up at him. When Ci and Roc entered the kitchen, he quickly told me never mind. I told him he could get some food and we all sat and ate quietly. I secretly wanted to know what he was going to say and I was determined to find out.

Later on that night it was thunder storming real badly. I was terrified and Ci and Roc were gone so I had no choice but to go in Craig’s room. I knocked on the door and I heard a few things fall before he told me I could come in. I opened the door to see a few things on his computer desk fallen over and him in the corner with his legs to his chest. I sat next to him and did the same. He put one of his arms around me and I laid my head on his shoulder. It was kind of awkward but eventually I relaxed and fell asleep. I woke up to my sister and Roc standing in Craig’s door way saying “Aww”. I looked around and found myself laying on his chest and he had his arms wrapped around me. I must’ve liked it because I’d been asleep for over 3 hours according to my phone.

I lifted myself up trying not to wake him up but I ended up doing it anyways. He stretched, yawned, then spoke to Roc & Ci before they walked away. I decided to stay & make small talk with him. "So what was that all about?" I asked as I sat down on the edge of his bed.

Craig- it was absolutely nothing. You were scared so I comforted you for the time being. (Gets up & walks towards the door) now get your ass out of my room.

I shoved the hell out of him and he pushed me back & called me a bitch. Ci flew up the stairs but I was already fist fighting with him. Nothing new, this was normal. She pried me off of him as she cursed him out for calling me a bitch. I ran into my room, locked the door, sat on my bed, & began to cry. Why does he treat me so bad? & just to think I actually enjoyed sleeping in his arms. Ugh. I hate Craig Crippen Jr.

The next day, I was woken up from a knock on my door. I looked at my phone to see it was 8 in the morning & for that I was beyond pissed. Why tf was I being woken up this early during my break? I rolled my eyes as the person walked into my room without me telling them they could. I got even more pissed when I saw it was Craig. He sat on the edge of my bed.

Me- what,the fuck do you w-

Craig- get dressed.

Me- for what? I'm not going anywhere with you.

Craig- stop being stubborn all the time Miya. Get dressed.

He got up & headed for the door but before he walked out, he did something he'd never once attempted to do in the past.

Craig- I'm... I'm sorry about last night.

My eyes watered a little. Ugh, I'm such a wuss! I didn't know if I should trust him or not so I just nodded my head then he walked out. I went to my closet, grabbed a red v neck tee and some white ripped jeans to wear with my red & white chuck taylors. I grabbed some underwear & a bra then headed to the bathroom to get ready. As I showered, the thought of Craig doing something to set me up never crossed my mind. I actually trusted him this time & it felt kind of nice. I was just hoping & praying this wasn't going to back fire like any other time.
