Beyond the DNA

Chapter 1.4

Ellisse's POV

"crying again?" Jm

"we argued..again. He's even telling me that he loves me more than a stepsister.."

I really can't imagine myself opening up on someone I just knew. But I guess I have no choice.. I know how Raine will feel if she'll hear about this. I will end up exploding if I don't open up.

"how about you?" Jm

"what about me??"

"do you feel the same way for him?" Jm

"he's my brother. That can't be possible."

"It is. And it's pretty obvious that you're in denial of what you truly feel." Jm

"what do you think will be the reaction of our parents if they'll know about this?"

"didn't the two of you gave the last say if they can get married  or not? so most probably they'll understand.. I know that you know what Im talking about." Jm

"Im not sure.. Im not really sure with what I feel."

"have you ever been in love?" Jm

"I have fallen in love before. I was so young that time but I can really tell that I loved that asshole"

"so what's with that asshole? you  seem to be so mad at him." Jm

"he told me that he loves me.. then the next thing I knew... he's gone and nowhere to be found."

"maybe he has reasons.." Jm

"whatever his reason is, he's stil an asshole for what he did.."

"ouch. You're too rude on him." Jm

"he deserves it."

We just met earlier this morning but I already felt comfortable talking to him. I can feel that I can trust him, hopefully Im not wrong trusting him this kind of things.

"don't you even want to give it a try?" Jm

"huh?"

"figuring out what you really feel for your claimed sibling.." Jm

"its not like a thing that you can experiment with..we're talking about feelings."

"who told you to experiment? you can tell him the truth about what you feel and both of you try to figure out if it's gonna work." Jm

I don't know him personally but base on what he says, he must be an expert on this. I remember how I met him a few hours ago.

why is he like that?  I've done everything to make him feel like we're real siblings. But he still sees me as nothing but his Stepsister that should not be involved with him.

I can't stop crying while running away from Tae. I didn't have the time to look where I was going. Until I accidentally bump into someone.

"Mianhe."

"Its fine. Are you okay Miss??" ???

he lends me a handkerchief. I take it and wiped away my tears but it still keeps on Falling.

"I think it will help if you tell it.. It will be best to release what pains you than hiding it and explode later on like  a bomb."

"how do you think will I know if it's working or not? *sobs* "

"come on, You will definitely know how you feel. Its not like you need another person to determine if you really have fallen for him" Jm

he's right. But, it's not that easy...this isn't just about me or Tae..
