The Headmaster's Secret (♡Completed♡)

21

Alex's P.O.V.

"You have a brother!? And you didn't tell me!?", Mia exclaimed, not angry but surprised. I laughed a little,

"I'm just as shocked as you kid." The elevator opened, "That'd be him." Beck came into the kitchen as Mia stopped,

"Hi."

"Hey. I'm beck." Jake stood up with Emmy,

"I'm Jake. This is Emmy."

"Nice to meet you.", Emmy said sweetly. Beck chuckled,

"You too princess." Jake put her down as she ran off. Mia came a little out of her daze,

"I'm Mia.", she said softly, "Can... I hug you?" He glanced at me, smiling,

"Of course." She did so for a minute before stepping back, smiling,

"Yeah. You're brothers."

"You couldn't tell before?", Jake scoffed.

"Leave me alone. Jerk."

"Idiot."

"Be nice to your sister.", I scolded as Mia laughed, "And you be nice to your brother little miss."

"We're supposed to make fun of each other." Jake nodded,

"It's part of having siblings."

"Sit."

"No I'm good standing. I-"

"Sit Beckett Alexander.", I said sternly, gently pushing him into the chair. He yelped as I did so, making me take a step back, "I'm sorry. Did I scare you or are you hurt?"

"I'm not scared of you.", he said quickly.

"Really? That seemed defensive."

"No I just- I know we're both afraid of dad and I don't want you to think you're like him because you're not."

"Kid I know I'm not like dad. I have my moments, sure. But I'm not like that."

"I know."

"So then you're hurt?"

"Wh- I-I guess so."

"What happened?"

"It-It's nothing."

"Beckett I really hope you aren't trying to lie to me. Because I realize we haven't known each other long and we're both adults, but I'm still older than you and your boss and I have every right and capability to bend you over and beat your ass."

"Th-That.", he whispered, his face turning red.

"You got your ass beat?" He nodded a little. "By who and why?"

"I-I really don't wanna tell you that." I sighed,

"Fine but I don't like you hiding things from me Beck. I'm worried about you."

"You are?" I nodded. "If I tell you then I tell you a big secret and I don't know if I'm ready for that."

"Okay. But whatever it is I'm still your brother and I still love you." He looked up at me smiling. We hadn't said the 'L' word yet.

"I love you too."

"And explaining that to me will probably make me go easier on your punishment."

"Punishment?", he whispered.

"For smoking pot on campus. You know better. If you do anything like that it needs to be off campus or in the bar. That's it."

"I'm sorry."
