Scott’s POV
I came into my room only to meet Emily on the bed, busy with her phone. I was happy that at least she had obeyed me and I climbed on the bed trying to get close to her but she stopped me.
“Are you in love with your sister?” Her question came as a shock to me because I was least expecting that.
“Or maybe her friend?” She added, shocking me the more.
“And where is that coming from?” I suddenly stood up from the bed. My mood had completely changed and I no longer wanted to get close to her.
“Please don’t act all innocent Scott. I saw the way you were trying to get close to both of them. What do you even take me for? Do you think I am that st*p*d?” Emily kept on ranting and her rants were giving me a headache and also annoying me.
“Answer me Scott!” She shouted at me and I just looked at her, short of words. I put on my shirt and was about to leave the room when she sprung up from the bed and walked up to me.
“And where are you going?” She blocked my path and that only made me smirk.
“I cannot stay here and listen to your rants. I will come back when you are back to your senses.
Just make sure to stay away from my sister or else she might hurt you and I won’t be there to defend you” I warned her as I gently pushed her aside. She fell on the floor and began to shed crocodile tears.
“I don’t know what I have done to you Scott.. to deserve such a treatment. Before it was just you cheating and now you have started hitting me, it’s quite unfair” she was crying as she was still laying on the floor.
What type of trouble have I gotten myself into now? How was I going to keep up with this girl when I can’t even keep up with Lakshmi.
“Emily get up please, I don’t want someone to walk in here and start thinking otherwise” I tried to plead with her.
“Let them think what they want to think Scott.. you don’t love me not even in the slightest” Emily kept on crying, how was she even able to make fake tears flow so easily? … Now I am more scared of women than I have ever been.
“You got that right” I murmured under my breath and thankfully she was unable to hear anything I said.
“Aren’t I beautiful enough? Why do you still see the need to go after other girls? Your sister to be precise”.
Emily finally got up from the floor and sat on the bed. I joined her as I sat beside her.
“Honestly Emily, I don’t know why you are getting jealous when you are the only person I love. I can never look at anyone else but you.
And the fact that you are accusing me of being in love with my own sister is quite heartbreaking and traumatizing” I also started to pretend I was sad, since we both were performing in an acting competition.
“Then why do you always have to go and plead with her each time she gets upset. Sometimes I even feel she just pretends to be upset so she can get closer to you” she wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
“Emily…you are seriously crossing the line right now. We are talking about my sister here and you think I won’t apologize to her whenever I upset her ” I was starting to show my anger.
“She is your stepsister Scott and things can still happen between the both of you or haven’t you seen it happen in movies or read about it happening in stories” Emily also raised her voice and she threw herself on the bed and turned her face away from me.
The whole room became silent and I couldn’t say anything, I didn’t even know what to say or where to start from.
“You are an only child, maybe that’s why you cannot understand the kind of relationship a brother shares with his sister.
Yes, Lakshmi might just be my stepsister and I have not known her for all these past years but the little time I have spent with her and got to know her, I have felt attached to her.
Not the way I am attached to other girls… if you know what I mean” I looked down, hoping that I wouldn’t make her upset.
“Are you trying to say that I don’t have feelings or what”?” Emily asked and I could tell she took my words the wrong way but what could I do, she was just too inconsiderate and self centered.
“I didn’t say that.. I am only asking you to try and understand where I’m coming from” I shook my head and slapped my forehead because I couldn’t think of any other way to get this girl to think like a normal human being.
“You aren’t coming from anywhere Scott, you just plainly told me how you felt about me. You know what? I can’t do this anymore.. I am leaving ” she stood up from the bed and went over to the closet, throwing her clothes on the bed.
Did she really expect me to stop her after all the troubles she had caused?.. Nah!! I wasn’t going to do that. If she wants to leave , she should leave.
“I never expected you to hate me so much. All I did was show you love and nothing else” she kept on lamenting as she brought out more clothings from the closet.
What did she even mean by love? The only thing she gave me was a*x which we both enjoyed until she started acting this stupid drama of hers.
“Why do boys always have to do this to me? After showering them with my love they end up dumping me” she cried out as she dumped her clothes into the box she had placed on the bed.
She didn’t even know how to organize her things and she was asking me why they keep leaving her?. I watched as she dragged her luggage out of the house.. oh good riddens.
