Sweet Revenge (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter Five

"Who is that?' the voice asks. I freeze, is that Charlie? Oh please let it be Charlie. I slowly make out a figure standing at the top of the stairs. It looks tall enough to be him......

"Em? is that you?". That is definitely Charlie. Relief floods through me and I open the door and then enter. I close the door quietly this time, before turning to look at Charlie.

"Yes it's just me" I whisper. Waiting for a telling off. Charlie may not be the most sensible person I know but when it comes to me he can be extremely overprotective. "Where the hell were you Em? You better not have gone to a party!" his voice is harsh.

"Just one" I feel a little ashamed. "Seriously Em don't do this again, I'll let you off the hook this time and won't tell mum or dad" his voice is calm but I can literally fell his anger radiating down onto me. "Thanks" I manage to mutter I feel a little guilty. Like I have just been accused of a murder.

I quickly flick the light switch on and look back and Charlie. He is in his boxers and has a tank top on. As I scan him I notice a lump on his neck is that a hickey... No... What?

"What is it? You look like you've seen a damn ghost Em" Charlie says chuckling. I stare at him straight in the eye. His face goes white. "Is that-" I start but am cut off. "It's not what it looks like" he starts to mumble and turns away from me.

Oh no! He is not getting away with this.

I run up the stairs puffing and and grab his hand, he looks back at me and his eyes widen. This time I have a better view and I can not only see what is clearly a hickey but also also a faint trail of lipstick up his neck and on his cheeks.

Anger suddenly floods through me. "Seriously!" I yell "Oh and your the 'good' big brother that is telling me not to go to parties while your upstairs making out with some girl!? I can't stop. I am so mad. How can he tell me not to have fun when he is off having his own and with who?.

"Just shut up Em... Yo- You don't know what your talking about!" Charlie yells in my face. I smell alcohol, where has he been? Why is he drunk? When did he get this bad?. A wave of guilt runs through me and all the anger I had before washes out of me. Even though right now he is a boy in a hot mess he is still my brother after all and I love him.

"Your right I don't" I shakily say. "Now let's get you sorted out" I say again more firmly. I look up at Charlie's weary face as he slightly nods. I let him rest on my shoulder as I help him across the hallway.

I wonder if our parents have woken up. We start approaching my parents room and I look in, sure enough they are still both asleep. I roll my eyes and chuckle slightly to myself. I swear they are like two Sleeping Beauties.

---- SWEET REVENGE ----

I am siting on my brothers bed while he is taking a shower. I look around his room. I haven't been in here for ages. I love the smell of his room as well. The smell of his cologne dominates the air.

The shower stops and I hear shuffling. He eventually comes out of the bathroom and is standing in front of me. He has changed and put on the gear that I got out for him earlier on. He also smells a hell of a lot nicer.

He slowly walks towards me and I freeze. I hope he isn't still drunk. "Don't worry Em, I know what your thinking but I would never hurt you even if I was drunk" he says sitting down next to me, making the bed sink. I doubt that is true but it is a nice thing to say anyway. "Thanks" I look up. He really is a nice brother.

His head drops and he looks ashamed. "I'm so sor-" he starts to say but I cut him off. "I know you are, it's okay" I say.

I am curious though to who the girl was. "Just one thing" I look up again before I can stop. He looks up and nods. "Who was that girl?"

He sighs, "I knew you would want to know that" he says and drops his head even lower. "I have a right to know don't I?" I say as I look at home at him. Now I am starting to regret asking this. "Yes you do, she is my girlfriend".

My head spins and my eyes bulge. "You... Have a girlfriend?" I am shocked. "Why didn't you tell me! Who is she?" I hurry on. I feel like I have been betrayed. "Because Em, I only asked her tonight but I have liked her for awhile" he says smoothly and starts to pat my head his fingers stroking through my hair.

I am in no mood. I push his hand away and turn to look at him fully. He seems shocked. I look him straight in the eye again. "Okay... but at least tell me who she is?" I say my voice hopefully sounding firmer than I feel. "Her name is Zara and she is really nice and kind to me Em, I think you would like her!" he smiles.

Relief comes over me and I turn away smiling. At least she is nice. "You might know her younger brother he's in your grade she says" Charlie says suddenly.

I snap my head back over towards him. A boy? In my grade, well sure there are lots but- my trail of thoughts stop.

I am getting a bad feeling about this. "Charlie" I slowly say "What is her full name?"

"Zara Daniels" he says. "Why?"

I am in utter shock. My horrible suspicions were right and yes I did know her brother - Ryder Daniels the bad boy  who stole my first kiss this very night. I look at Charlie's concerned face and I smile weakly "Oh no reason"
