Broken Hearts - TreeBros Part 2 - The Separate Journeys

Chapter 38

A few weeks later...

Connor's POV:

I hear a knock on the door, I choose to ignore it.

"CONNOR WILL YOU PLEASE GO ANSWER THE DOOR?" Mom yells from the kitchen.

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ANSWER IT?" I yell back.

"I'M COOKING, UNLESS YOU WANT TO COOK FOR ME" She replies.

I sigh and get up from the couch, I walk up to the door and look through the peep hole. I see Evan standing there with a bunch of flowers in his hand.

What does he want? He knows I hate flowers. Idiot.

I open the door, Evan looks up at me.

"What do you want?" I say.

"I-I uhh was wondering if Zoe was here" He says, he can obviously tell I'm pissed.

"Yeah, why?" I say.

"I would like to talk to her" He says.

"Fine as long as you don't go anywhere near me" I say.

Evan gives an awkward smile and walks into the house.

"Oh uhh where is-" I cut Evan off.

I point upstairs. "In her room"

Evan goes carefully walks up the stairs, you can clearly tell he's still not used to walking and stuff. I don't help him, I don't want to. Once he gets up there I hear Zoe.

"Oh Evan, I wasn't expecting you to be here. Oh these are for me?" She says, now I'm interested.

I hear Zoe's room door slam shut.

You think you can hide from me? Well you're wrong.

I walk up the stairs and stand right outside Zoe's room, I can hear the whole conversation.

"Evan you didn't have to do this" Zoe says.

"I know" Evan replies.

"No really" She says.

"You saw me though, you saved me when I fell, no one has ever really done that for me before" Evan says.

Oh really? What about all those times I tried to make sure you were the happiest person alive Evan? You don't call that saving you?

"Look Evan this is so sweet I don't know how to repay you"

"You don't need to"

There's a long pause before Zoe speaks again.

"No one has ever really acted this way toward me before"

"R-Really"

"No, I was never the popular kid. I would always get picked on in school, I was known as the crazy kid's sister you know?"

"That sucks I'm sorry"

Zoe sighs. "It's alright I mean I've had to deal with it my whole entire life"

"W-well I'm glad your happier now"

"Yeah, Junior year made a huge difference, getting to know you and all the others"

"I bet"

What do you mean by getting to know you? Do you have a crush on my ex boyfriend?

"So..." Zoe says.

"I uhh I've never really told anyone this before but I've always liked listening to you in jazz band"

Zoe laughs a little. "Awww I thought no one ever really noticed me before, I'm just the one girl in the back"

"Well I've noticed you"

What the fuck are you doing Evan? Are you trying to flirt with my sister?

"I've noticed you too" Zoe says.

"R-Really when?"

"Just- I don't know"

"Oh..."

"But not noticed in a bad way like in a good way you know?"

"Yeah... I know"

DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON MY SISTER? HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?

I can't take it anymore. I swing the door open. My jaw drops, I look over on Zoe's bed. There they are, my ex and my sister kissing on her bed. I slowly back away.

You fucking idiot. You just made the biggest mistake of your life.
