My Best Friend's Sister

Chapter 9

Yesterday was Canada Day! It made me wonder, and I'm genuinely curious, where is everyone from? If you're comfortable with it, leave a comment with what country you're from:)

Eldon's POV

James bailed early on our guys day, saying he had to babysit his sister or something. I thought Piper was old enough to take care of herself, but clearly I was wrong. We were all going to sleepover at his place, but seeing as he bailed, the plan changed. West suggested we could go to his house but when we got there his mother turned us down, complaining that we make too much of a mess. We couldn't go to Hunters because he was in a hotel room for a few nights while his entire house got painted. I vetoed going to my house because Emily was going to Steph's, and if I trap Riley in a house with 3 guys again, she will kill me. So we all decided to bail on our plans. I walked into the house, noticing how quiet it was. Riley must be in her room. It was only 8, so I was starving. I figured Riley probably wouldn't mind ordering something in. I headed upstairs, away to ask her what she wanted to get. Her door was closed, but that wasn't unusual. She was probably studying or trying to keep the cats out. I didn't bother knocking, instead I just walked in. But that was a big mistake. The lights were off. It was dark, but I could still make out the scene in front of me perfectly. Riley lay in her bed, fast asleep. Beside her, spooning her from behind, was someone I thought I could trust. He had been peppering her bare shoulder with kisses, but at the sound of the door opening, he'd looked up. He now stared at me, making eye contact, his expression revealing that he was, for once, speechless. Anger filled me as I stared at them together. I could see Riley's clothes on the floor, along with the clothes he'd been wearing when I saw him only a few hours earlier. I clenched my fists at my sides, gritting my teeth. "Get the fuck away from her James." I stated, attempting to stay as calm as possible. James slowly released my baby sister, sitting up in her bed. His eyes landed on his boxers, a good few feet away from him. I growled, grabbing the material and throwing it at him. I turned my head as he pulled them on, then stood. He grabbed the rest of his clothes, pulling those on as well, staying silent. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I exclaimed. James glanced over at Riley, who was still asleep but had flinched at my words.
"She didn't sleep well last night. Can we talk somewhere else? Let her sleep?" He asked, pleading with me. I exhaled angrily, but walked out of Riley's room. As he left, James took one final glance back at my sister, sighing as he watched her sleeping form attempt to find him. I closed the door, turning his attention away from my baby sister. He looked at me, making eye contact now that he couldn't stare at Riley. "Let me explain." He said.
"Do you want me to forgive you?" I asked him calmly, despite the rage growing inside me. James looked surprised by my question, but nodded his head. "I'll forget about this, if you do what I say." I told him.
"What do you want?" He inquired.
"Stay the fuck away from my sister." I stated. I'd never seen James look as vulnerable as he did after I said that. He looked like I'd smashed his heart into pieces.
"I can't do that." He replied.
"You will, because I can bet that Riley doesn't want anyone to know about your little fuck parties, assuming this isn't the first time you fucked my sister. If I catch you so much as glance at her, I won't be afraid to tell everyone. I guarantee she won't be too happy with everyone knowing her dirty little secret." I said. James looked devastated. But he knew as well as I did that my word was true. And he also knew Riley would break if everyone found out about their secret. He sighed, breaking our eye contact.
"Alright fine. I'll cut off all contact with her. I'll even tell Miss Kate to reassign the duet. But you need to let me talk to her one more time, so I can end things properly." James agreed. I swore I could see tears in his eyes.
"Deal."
