My Dad's 3 Step Sons

Chapter 47

~•2 months later•~

It has been 2 months since Megan passed away. Most have accepted the fact that she won't be with us. Nathan still needed time to heal. I have accepted and moved on, she was my best friend and will always remain in my heart.

I wore the necklace she gave me when we were 8, I rubbed when something feels empty inside, when I remember the time I had with her. Wearing it had helped me cope with her death.

I'm school, I occasionally talked with Nathan's friends who were really there with him when things got tough

°°°
I was heading to Biology class when someone called out from behind, 'Hey, wait up!'

I turned to see Adrian, he caught up with me and was now out of breath.

'Are you okay?' I asked worried

He was breathing so hard for just running a short distance.

'Yea-uhh-', he grabbed something that looked like an inhaler from his pocket and placed it in his mouth and took a deep, long breath.

His eyes drooped and it looked like he felt much better.

'I'm okay', he stated

'What happened, it's been so long since I've spoken to you.' I said

'Yeah...I know' he grinned,'I came to give you this'

He held the comic, Wonder World Volume VIII

I was stunned,'For me?'

'Yeah!', he wore a huge smile.

'Thank you so much', I gushed

He seemed to be so happy giving me the comic. He was such a thoughtful person. At the same time, I felt a sense of guilt. I hadn't really known him very well. The last time we talked was during the mourning gathering at school.

'I just thought a gift would help you during the difficult time' he stated

'I'm really grateful Adrian', I said.

He nodded,'Anyways, catch you later I have to run to class' he said in a complaining tone.

°°°

We reached home and I was way too excited to read the comic.

'Hey honey, how was scho-'before dad could finish

'Great,' I replied

I ran upstairs and shut the door. I opened my bag and read the comic. I really had to know what happens to Lady Wynter. A few minutes into reading and there's a knock on my door.

It probably was one of my brothers. I rolled my eyes. 'Go away!I'm changing!' I yelled.

There was another knock but this time it was more forced.

I sighed. I opened the door and went, 'What do you wa-'

My eyes widened. What is he doing here?

'Camero-', before I could finish he put his palm over my mouth and shut me up. He pushed me back inside the room and locked the door
