"STOP" someone shouted causing my dads hand to stop inches from my face.
I looked over and it was Tate standing on the staircase.
"Excuse me?" My dad said putting his hand down walking towards Tate.
"Leave her alone."
"Nobody will not tell me how to raise my daughter."
"Well obviously someone needs to."
"Tate go back to your room and-"
"You might be her father, but your not mine." Tate said stepping closer to my dad.
"Listen you little b-"
"Stop it!" I yelled at my father.
"Just stop!" I said feeling my eyes start to sting.
"Y/N be quiet." My dad said.
"No! I'm not going to be quiet. You wanna know where I went. I walked away from this house. I can't handle it. There's too much drama, lies, secrets..." I trailed off looking straight into Tate's eyes.
"And you two are the main reasons for it! I came back because the one person I hate came after me. The people that I thought were my friends stabbed me in the back." I said never leaving Tate's eye contact.
"The one person I thought cared, didn't. So yes dad. I missed curfew, and yes I'm sorry. Are you still gonna hit me? Go ahead, I'm already used to disappointment."
My father stood there looking at me.
I walked away from him and went to my room. I slammed the door shut and locked it. When I turned around I saw a familiar face sitting on my bad.
"I told ya."
"I'm not in the mood Violet."
"You should've gotten out when you had the chance." She said laying on my bed reading one of my books.
I walked over to her and snatched the book out her hands.
"Someone's on their period."
"What did Tate do."
"That's not my business to tell."
"Violet please."
"Tate has to tell you himself. But what I can tell you is he's a horrible person."
"That's not true."
"What he did was terrible. Demented. Sinister."
"Violet."
"But this is my business to tell."
She said standing in walking around my room touching my things.
"He's in love with me.."
For some reason I felt a burning sensation inside. He doesn't love her. He can't love her.
"But what he did was unforgivable."
"What did he do?" I asked but she disappeared.
"Violet? Violet come back!"
"He murdered my mother." I heard a voice whisper into my ear.
But when I turned around she was gone.
Tate killed her mother? This can't be true, I won't believe it. There was a knock on my door. I opened it and there stood Tate. I tried to close the door in his face but he stopped it with his foot.
"Tate g-"
I was caught off by his lips on mine. His hands were cupping my cheeks and his eyes were closed. I was shocked and just stood there. He broke the kiss but his face was didn't move from where it was.
"Kiss me Y/N." He said and leaned back into me.
I slowly began to kiss him back and he walked into my room. His hands traveled down to my waist and mine went around his neck. He continued to kiss me as I started to play with his hair. He turned his head deepening the kiss and slid his tongue into my mouth. I did the same to him and he started to walk with me towards my bed. He placed me onto my bed our lips never detaching. I pulled him closer into me as we continued to kiss. I felt someone's presence so I opened my eyes. I saw Violet standing in the comer staring at us.
I gasped and pulled away looking at her again but she was gone.
"What's wrong." Tate said staring at me.
"Nothing." I said sliding from underneath him. I walked towards my door and stood there, hoping Tate would get the hint.
"Y/N. I'm so sorry."
I just looked at him not responding.
"I didn't mean it please forgive me. I don't know what I was saying it just came o-"
I gently presses my lips onto his and pulled away.
"I forgive you Tate. And thanks for stopping my dad."
"It's fine."
"You should get out before my dad comes up."
"Yeah I get it." He left and went into his room across the hall.
I closed my door and laid on my bed and started to think.
I can't believe I just made out with my step brother.
"Can't help yourself can you."
I saw Violet standing near my bed and I sat up.
"I get it. He's cute, a great kisser"
"What do you want?"
"I want to help you. Stay away from Tate. He's no good."
"You don't even know him."
"Trust me. I've known him before your father knew Constance. That evil bitch. Now I don't usually play nice, but you remind me of myself. Young, in love, and stupid. Westfield High. Let's see how far you can get with that." She said disappearing again. I hate when she does that.
What did she mean Westfield High. That's the name of my school, what does that have to do with Tate being evil?
I had no intention on going back downstairs so I decided to get ready for bed.
~next day~
I woke up to my alarm clock going off. I turned it off and did my normal morning routine. I went downstairs and saw everyone scrambling around like usual. I spotted Tate and he instantly began to blush. I smiled and went into the kitchen for some cereal. I saw my dad coming downstairs but he didn't even look at me. He walked straight past me and out the front door. I was confused because he'd usually greet me or ask if I'm ready. I walked over to the door and opened it, but my dad was already in his car. I was about to walk towards the car but he drove off. Guess I'm walking to school.
Tate's POV
I was sitting at the table when I noticed Y/N coming downstairs. When I saw her the memories from last night came flooding back to me. I couldn't help by smile. She smiled back and went into the kitchen.
A few minutes later her father came downstairs, giving me the death glare as he passed. He didn't wait for Y/N he just walked out the door. I them saw Y/N walk to the door and walk outside. But then she came back in.
"Dick." She mumbled under her breath.
"You wanna walk to school?" I asked walking up to her.
"Uh yeah sure." She said smiling.
I hate it when she does that. When she speaks to me, she looks me straight in the eyes. It makes me feel so vulnerable. And she always smiles her beautiful smile making me melt. I continued to look in her beautiful eyes when I heard a loud snap.
"Tate? Hello?" She said laughing snapping again.
"Uh what?"
"I said we should get going."
"Oh uh yeah right we should uh go." I said causing her to giggle.
We started to walk out the door towards the school building.
"So what do you know about Westfield High?" She said looking at me.
"We go to school there?" I said laughing making her laugh too.
"No I mean like...has anything happened there?"
Why is she asking me that.
"Not that I know of." I said avoiding her eye contact.
"Are you sure? Like nothing, sinister hasn't taken place there? Like has one of the students or anyone ever gone completely nuts in that school?" She said not looking at me.
Why is she asking me this. There's no way she could have known anything about what I did unless- Violet! Y/N kept asking me about Violet. Has she told her anything? Y/N can't know, she'll never speak to me or want anything to do with me. Maybe I'm just thinking to much. Maybe what she's saying has nothing to do with what I did. Maybe she's just asking a random question.
"No. Maybe you're thinking of the wrong school."
"Oh ok. Thanks."
~5th Period at school~
Y/N POV
I grabbed my book bag and headed to my next class. I didn't see Tate outside so I just went into the classroom. I saw Tate sitting in the back so m I sat next to him.
"Hi." He said.
"Hey."
The teacher began to babble about stuff I don't care about and me and Tate were just entertaining each other. After what felt like forever, the bell rang and we left out the classroom.
~End of the day~
Y/N POV
I've been waiting outside for 15 minutes but my dad still hasn't shown up. Tate was waiting beside me.
"Let's just go home. He obviously isn't coming." I said walking away.
Tate followed me and we started to walk home.
"Can we talk?" Tate asked nervously.
I was dreading this conversation but I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later.
"Sure."
"About last night, I uh."
"We don't have to talk about it."
"I want to talk about it." Tate said and stopped walking. I stopped walking as well and faced towards him.
"Do you like me?" He asked.
"Tate...you're my step brother. Which by law means we're brother and sister. And it would be incest if we-"
"That's not what I asked you Y/N."
I stayed quiet and looked down at the ground causing Tate to sigh.
"Just forget it." He said while starting to walk again.
I grab his wrist causing him to look back. I stared into his eyes and went on my tippy toes. I pressed my lips onto his gently. He rested his hands on my hips and kissed me back.
All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in the left side of my head. I pulled back and groaned, throwing my hand up to my head.
I heard loud laughing and turned my head to see a horrifying image. It was Abigail, 2 girls that bother me from school, along with Daniel and Tyler. I looked down and noticed a rock on the ground not to far from me.
"Oops my bad. Did I hit you?" Abigail said making everyone around her laugh again.
"What the hell?" Tate shouted making them laugh harder.
Brandon bent down and picked up another rock throwing at Tate. He threw it pretty hard at his head.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted at Brandon.
At this time they were all a few inches away from me and Tate.
"Remember when you punched me in front of our homeroom? Also do you remember when I said that won't be the last you'll hear from me?" Abigail said walking towards me.
I didn't respond to her.
Abigail pulled her arm back and swung it at me with full force. I wasn't able to dodge it in time so her fist went flying into my jaw sending me to the ground. I put my hand on my face to try and soothe the pain. I looked up and see everyone laughing. But Tyler was just standing there looking at me. I stared into his eyes waiting for him to do something. But he just stood there looking back at me.
"Get the hell away from her!" Tate yelled pushing Abigail harshly making her tumble backwards.
Brandon came at Tate and punched him in the stomach. Unlike me, Tate started to fight Brandon back.
"How you like that stupid bitch." Abigail said kicking me in my stomach and legs.
"This is what happens when you and your little boyfriend become a pain in my ass!" She pulled her leg back and kicked me in my nose as hard as she could.
"Enough!" Someone shouted.
I looked over and it was Tyler.
"Leave them alone or I swear I'll make sure you all get into trouble for this." Tyler said.
"Shut up pussy pop." Abigail said as she kicked my face once more making me scream out in pain.
"I mean it Abigail. Get away her you fake bitch." Tyler said.
Abigail looked at me and laughed,then she began to walk away.
"Watch your back Loser." She said as she began to walk away with Brandon. Tate ran over to me to see if I was alright. My back was sore from falling on the concrete and I felt like I couldn't move. My nose was now bleeding but I couldn't clean it up. I saw Tyler still standing there watching me and Tate. We made eye contact and he started to run away back to the school. Tate slowly picked me up as I groaned in pain. I still held onto my face as I softly cried.
"You'll be fine Y/N. You're gonna be okay."
