this book sucked so i took a small break and i may just post the rest and never come back to it, idk
remington
"remington stop messing around in people's dreams, it's going to ruin our reputation and if the council finds out you're playing around like this they will make you live at their housing and do their schooling." sebastian said. he was the reason why the dream which i was enjoying had come to an end.
"fine, i am sorry. but for the record i am only doing it wit-" "remington it doesn't matter! stop! right now!" he told me, he left after that. i tried to go back to her dream world but it seemed as though sebastian had put up a barrier so i couldn't leave mine.
i was annoyed if anything, i bet he always did it for girls he liked but anytime his younger brother was trying to do something for someone he liked he refused to help me out. i was kind of upset that she had left on such short notice but atleast my discoveries had led me to where she was living in chicago.
i could easily go see her as a 'business trip.'
"hey rem?" i heard emerson call for me. i poked my head out. "sebastian wants to know where you were earlier today that you weren't on the bus." emerson asked rolling his eyes. the truth was i had called some friends to take care of a guy who was bugging brooke in the streets. i wasn't letting her get jumped or worse taken without me there to protect her. i wish i could've been there but this was the best i could do.
i have friends of the council taking good, good care of her. and the good thing was that she was completely oblivious to being watched like she was by friends of mine. nick had been doing an amazing job, he even was living with her. as long as i loved her like i did she wasn't going to get hurt.
regardless it scared me that i had started to like this girl so much to the point where i had called a friend to protect her but in the end it would work for me, she could become my promised and we could get married at the castle upstate. it would be the perfect story, first i needed to get the girl of course.
"hey rem?" emerson asked snapping me away from my careless daydreaming. "yeah?" i asked. i was a lot closer with emerson than i was with sebastian but it wasn't like we weren't even friendly. emerson was younger and much more naive most of the time. sebastian was bossy and mature, although he could party. emerson was carefree and i took that for granted.
"who's the girl?" he smirked playfully. i rolled my eyes. "i am not thinking about a girl!" i fought. "please i can read your thoughts, your daydreaming is quite loud actually." his smirk grew making me more annoyed with him.
"well it's none of your business and i am not thinking about a girl!" i told him getting angrier thee more we spoke of this. "well i know you are, whoever she is." he winked. i groaned. "fine, if i tell you will you help me get her?" i asked.
"remington, you're my brother and perhaps the only one in our family not promised, of course i will help you." he scoffed. "good, that girl that was here with kylea. yeah." i told him feeling some heat come to my cheeks.
his eyes widened and he shook his head. "don't go for her, she has people from the other side after her, you know how hard it is going to be to get her without annoying them and the council?" he gulped quite loudly.
sure i knew she had people from the other side of vampires but i didn't care, i wanted what i wanted and i wasn't going to back down. it was the way i worked. i wouldn't let them take her and have her carelessly killing people for fun.
"which is why i need to get her, get her before they do. don't worry about it, i've got nick keeping a close eye on her, making sure she stays mine." i told him with a slight scoff. "just don't get in over your head brother." emerson shrugged at me now leaning against his elbow so he could speak with us.
"you know how i get with this stuff, if i find someone i like and i want to become promised to... well i am not going to back down until they are mine. she's not going to get taken by the other side." i told him with confidence, truth was i had never had a girl who was being dragged or trying to be dragged into the other side and i knew it would be a messy situation but i refused to give up.
i wanted her and i made that very, very clear.
emerson's famous eye roll filled my sight before i flipped over and closed my curtain. "don't fight with opposing forces remington, you'd never be able to win." i could hear sebastian's pessimistic voice, of course he had heard what i was saying because if he didn't hear it then what kind of annoying and strict brother would he be.
"you don't control me." i scoffed closing my eyes and going back to bed.
brooke
"where were you last night?" i yawned as i asked the question to nick the next morning as we made coffee, well i made hot chocolate because coffee wasn't really thing, too bitter.
"i was out with some friends." he answered pouring himself some coffee. "you'-" "ve got friends." we said the end in unison and he nodded. "it's not much of a surprise, i'm like a sex god." he told me with a wink.
"ew." i told him looking him over with disgust as i poured my hot cocoa into a to-go cup and placed a lid on top, i had work in an hour and i really should be getting go anytime now but i was still spooked from last night and even if the bus stop was hardly ten feet from the house, i was spooked.
"are you working today?" nick asked changing the subject. i sighed but nodded. "yeah." i said sparing the details about last night because honestly, i wasn't in the mood to really reflect on it. i wanted to forget it all happened because there was no way it could've happened.
"what time are you done? i can come pick you up." he told me with a slight smile. "i am working late today, like last night, won't be done until eight." i told him with a slight frown. "i will pick you up, we can go for food or drinks or both." he said with a wink. "okay." i told him. "want me to drive you there?" he asked.
"i don't want to inconvenience you." i said with a slight frown once more because honestly a drive would be much nicer than a bus ride where i am constantly stressing. "no stress, gotta head to the town anyways, i left something at the girl from last night's place." he told me.
"gross." i faked a gag. "go get ready for work nerd." he told me. i smiled falsely and walked downstairs.
