My Stepbrothers

Chapter 62

"Call me when your finished talking to him. Okay?" Lucy called out.

"Okay!" I ran up to the house and knocked on the door. As I stood here I felt extremely nervous. What was I going to say to him? How could I cheer him up? By breaking up with Brad. I thought to myself but of course I couldn't do that. I love Brad but deep down inside I love Carter too but just not as much as I love Brad.

Is nobody home? There has to be. Hunter said Carter came home. I grabbed onto the door handle and twisted it open. It's unlock? I entered the house and closed the door behind me, locking it. I first looked around the first floor of the house then I went upstairs. I walked straight to Carter's room and knocked on it. I swallowed hard and tried to get myself to calm down but I couldn't I was just way too nervous. I feel bad for doing this to Carter. I really do but I can't help that my feelings for Brad are stronger. Carter is a good guy and good guys deserve the very best. I should have picked the good guy. I always told myself I would when I was younger but that changed. Yes it would be the right and smart thing to do but I couldn't help it. I want Brad. I love him so much.

The door slowly opened revealing Carter. "Hey Kali." He smiled. He's smiling? Is it a real smile though?

"Hey I wanted to talk to you."

"Me too."

"You did?"

"Yeah. Come in." He moved out of the way so that I could walk into his room. I walked over to his bed and sat down. He sat beside me and grabbed onto my hand. "Please don't move your hand away."

"Okay I won't."

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry for not coming after you like Brad did. Honestly I didn't even think about doing that. Yes I was thinking about you on the football field the whole time but for some reason it felt right to stay on that field and continue playing football. But for Brad it was different. He wanted you more than he wanted anything else and I noticed that I wasn't like that. So there for I'm sorry because I didn't put you first like Brad did. Instead I put myself first."

I gave his hand a tight squeeze. "Don't apologize. It's alright to put yourself first sometimes. Besides, I'm the one who should be saying sorry."

"As I thought about our situation. I've decided that I do like you. I like you a lot. More than I've liked anyone else but the thing is I don't love you like Brad does. And I can't help but be happy for the two of you." He smiled, removing his hand from mine and pulling me into a side hug. "I'll always like you Kali." He grabbed onto my chin and pulled me so that I was looking at him. He quickly kissed my lips, causing my eyes to widened. "Sorry but I just needed to do that one last time." He lowly chuckled.

"Oh, um, okay..." I lowered my head. Not really knowing what to say to that.

"So did Brad ever confess that he loves you? I'm guessing that he did." He leaned back, lying down on his bed. I joined him and laid beside him.

"Should I really be telling you this?"

"We are friends now. Nothing more. I'm here for you and hopefully you're here for me."

"Always."

"Then tell me everything that happened when you first saw him at the airport. I want to know how happy you were and how happy you are right now because your happiness means the world to me Kali." He turned his head in my direction. When our eyes met we both instantly smiled.

"Carter...you always have been a great guy. Hopefully in the future you'll find someone way better than me and who will love you with all their heart and will always make you happy because you deserve it."

"Nobody will be better than you Kali. Nobody..."

"Lies." I laughed.

He laughed. "I'm serious." He poked my nose. "My brother is one lucky guy." I couldn't help but blush. "Remember that just because you are with my brother now. Doesn't mean you can forget about me or ditch me for him. Okay?"

"How could I forget you?"

He wrapped his arms around me, bringing me closer towards him. "I want to kiss you so badly again."

"Sorry but I can't let you do that."

"You're no fun." He pouted. "Just one more kiss." He leaned in, puckering his lips.

"Carter no! I have a boyfriend now!"

"Oh come on! A quick one!"

"Carter!" I used all my force and pushed him off the bed on accident. He hit the ground with a loud thump. "Oh my gosh are you okay!?"

"Not again.." He groaned. I burst out laughing causing him to glare at me until he couldn't help but laugh along with me.

As we were laughing along with each other. I realized that even though Carter and I won't be together as boyfriend and girlfriend. We will always be friends and I was happy because I needed Carter in my life. Without him it wouldn't be right.

I wish you the very best, Carter...

Ahh they're so cute.

Anyways on a good note. Carter is okay! He's happy and so is Kali. They will remain friends until the end! I promise.

In a way I guess this is the end BUT there will be a epilogue!!!! So don't stop reading just yet. =)

Okay bye ily!
