Steven's POV
After school I dropped at Jason's house because Josephine his elder sister promised to cook my favorite dish and she just came back for the holidays so I wanted to catch up. She was very friendly to me and often treat me like her brother.
When I got there we chatted a lot and I ate to my fill, she knew just what I wanted.
" if we were not so familiar with each other, I would have married you " I had said to her jokingly.
" I wouldn't have you for a husband even if you're the last man on earth. " she replied laughing.
She was like the big sister I never had, and I had grown so close to the family that I feel like we're siblings.
" if you marry her where will you keep Sarah? Jason asked
" yea Steven, Jason told me you have a new crush " Josephine said
" yea Josie but she's a very difficult girl " I said smiling.
" don't tell me you've lost your charm Stevie "
" one minute she's smiling at me like she's crazy about me and the next she's looking at me like a stranger "
" I think she knows " Jason said
" what do you mean? I asked
" didn't you notice her reaction earlier, I heard she talked to Sam yesterday and the way she was looking at us shows he told her something "
" that brat! I knew it, I told him I wanted no troubles with him "
" Sam? Josephine asked
" yea Samuel Young " I said taking a long breath.
" isn't he the one that's having problems with Alex?
" yes Josie. the thing is Sarah is his ex-girlfriend " I said.
" Steven! Really?? Josephine said looking at me.
" how do you expect him not to tell her when of all the girls in the school you choose to like her, I bet he suspects something " Jason reasoned
" I never meant for it to happened, it just did "
" what are you going to do now? Josephine asked.
" She's going to hate me now, and there's nothing I can do about it "
" you can tell her everything " Jason said
" hell no!!! It means telling her about Concordia, about Diana and about my heart disease "
" is that such a bad idea? She said looking at me
" I'll rather she hate me than have her like me because she pities me. And who knows if she'll accept my past "
" I'll rather have my boyfriend tell me about his dark past than to start a relationship over secret and lies " Josephine said
" I hate it that I have to lie to her, to my new friends. But telling them the truth means I'll have to face the fear of them not accepting me "
" then I guess you'll have to stay away from her " Jason said slowly. " we went to Excellence because we wanted a new start, to fly under the radar, finish school without any trouble. We can't have that if we start a fight with Sam "
" I know it'll be hard but I've got no other option. I'll stay away from her and I'll have to tell Sam he's got no reason to hate me "
" and maybe we should tell the twins and Jbee"
" no "
" they'll hate us if they find out from someone else "
" but what if they tell her "
" we just have to trust them not to "
" ok I'll think about it "
I suddenly felt sore, I thought I was getting past all this but I guess not, somehow my past keeps catching up with me. I thought of how to stay away from Sarah, I know I had no other option. I felt a shiver went down me when I remembered the time we kissed, she was the first girl I was able to kiss without freaking out since what happened with Diana. My feelings for Sarah grew faster than I expected, falling for her was so easy.
Now I have to try and stay away,
Did I think I would have a chance at finding happiness after what I did?
Karma always has a way of catching up with you Steven,I thought.
