To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

Walking back home from the coffee shop, I needed a cup of coffee to refuel my energy after the long stressful day at school. I cleaned the beads of sweat that formed on my forehead and stood for a while to try and catch my breath.

I’m so fucking tired.

I opened the bottle of water I had with me and took a sip before I heard the revving of a car and it stopped before me. I would recognize the car anywhere.

Rolling my eyes, I hissed as I tried to walk past him. I didn’t have the strength for any sort of argument and although it killed me inside, I knew I shouldn’t insult or cuss him out right now because I didn’t want to be on my mothers bad side.

The only time we get to be together is when we’re feeding or walking Coco, bathing her would have to wait because I’ll be damned if I get wet around Mason and anything aside from that and we might be chopping our heads off.

“Where are you coming from and why do you look like you’ve had your life sucked out of you? Were you riding some bastard’s dick?” Mason blurted out instantly and I closed my eyes in frustration.

Here I am trying to avoid speaking to him, but trust him to start off with something that’s most likely to set me off.

I needed to keep my anger at Bay before I do something that might get me grounded or worse, prevent me from not talk to Nicole for a month.

“Listen to me and I really do want you to listen well. As excruciatingly painful as it is to not insult you, I’m trying my best to be the bigger person so please, leave quietly and leave me the fuck alone.” I said as I walked past his car and tried my best to ignore him.

“Bigger person my foot,” I heard him say before I felt something hit the back of my head and I turned to see a balled paper on the floor with Mason chuckling.

How could someone as old as him be such a bully?

“You know, you really need to watch how you talk to me. If I really want to, I can have my dad toss you out like you never happened, I can let your mum stay, cause she’s really awesome and sweet, unlike you, you’re the complete opposite.” He said and I felt my blood began to boil.

How dare he? Despite how hard I tried to avoid him he just had to crawl up from hell to plague my life.

Not thinking twice, I opened the bottle of water I had with me and emptied it on him as he gasped in surprise.

He should’ve seen it coming.

“You know what, you’re gonna walk home.” He said as he stomped into his car and I rolled my eyes.

Like I really wanted to be in the same car as him.

I raised my middle fingers at him before continuing my walk home.

I ended up taking a taxi home, but made sure to alight a few houses away.

I got home to Danny and my mum seeing a movie together, looking extremely cosy.

I sunk into one of the couches and they both regarded me at once.

“Mum, I’m so tired!” I cried out dramatically, making sure to wear an extremely dejected expression on my face. My mom was beside me in an instant and I buried my face in my her shoulders as soon as she embraced me, “I had a very stressful day at school and I ran into Mason, I begged him multiple times to give me a lift home but he only insulted me and made me walk all the way home and now my legs hurt.”

My mum’s mouth fell open in shock and she instantly picked picked up my legs and began to massage it soothingly.

Mason alighted the stairs, wearing a pair of shorts and sweatshirt. He was about to head into the kitchen when Danny motioned him over.

“I’m very disappointed in you, Mason. How could you do that to your little sister? Making her walk all the way home in a really hot sun.” Danny started and I smiled to myself behind my mum’s shoulders, sticking my tongue out to Mason when he glanced down at me in confusion.

“Ava, I’ll get you a car soon, say in a few months time, as soon as you’ve fully learnt how to drive a car, so it’s best you start learning how to drive immediately.” Danny added and I felt my heart soar high.

My joy became immense that I was soon dancing around and saying my appreciation as I threw myself at him in a hug.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“She’s lying, dad. Just listen to me.” Mason started but I knew Danny wasn’t going to listen to him.

“You can keep your words to yourself, she had to walk here while you drove. How heartless can you be?” Danny shot at him.

Mason ended up trying to make listen to him. I made sure to give him the middle finger when no one was watching, but he only rolled his eyes before heading into the kitchen.

After reassuring my mum that I was okay and thanking Danny profusely once again, I headed upstairs and unfortunately collided with Mason in the hallway.

His hands were deep in his pockets and the hood of the hoodie he had on was hanging over his face, casting a little shadow over the top of his face. I took a step backwards, not liking how being in such close proximity with him was making me feel.

“Move the fuck over, you’re blocking my way.” I mumbled on a huff.

“I’m going to make your life a living hell, just so you know. You might end up regretting living here sooner than later.” He continued but I rolled myself and forced myself to ignore the pounding in my chest as I slide past him.

His arm was very firm through the material of the hoodie and it brushed against my boobs a little, which made my cheeks flame up a little.

“Bluff.” I spat out with a voice I hoped wasn’t giving anything away, right before I made my way to my room to freshen up and relax a bit. I studied for a while and had a little snack for dinner since I wasn’t really feeling hungry.

I didn’t see Mason when I went down for dinner, not like I was always searching for his presence.

Once back in my bedroom, I rounded up super fast because I was feeling really sleepy. Just when I laid down to sleep, I heard strange but familiar voices noises and when I tried to make out what they were saying I figured it was a girl moaning. My stomach tightened and I gagged and scoffed in anger, wishing I could strangle Mason and the bitch he was fucking right now.
