STEPBROTHER (R-18)

Chapter 40

Scarletts P.O.V

Helplessness is dictating. It seizes your mind, unwarranted, as you watch Oliver being walked out of the house, arms cuffed behind his back, a trail of speckled blood along the floor.

This is fucking ridiculous! He didn't do anything wrong! He was just protecting his mom... someone who failed to protect him.

Angry tears sluice over your cheeks as you twist to face the masked expression of your mother.

"What the fuck, mom? How could you?"

You drag shaking fingers through your knotted hair, before swiping the tears from your face. Your disappointment is evident as you frown at her. She denies guilt with a shrug of her shoulders and a gentle shake of her head, like she's only looking out for whats best.

"Scarlett, you need to let those men do their jobs. I'm not going to interfere with things when I don't know what the hell fully happened."

"Are you kidding me? This isn't his damn fault!"

You wince when your mother throws her arms up defeatedly.

"This is exactly why you shouldn't have gotten involved with him. You're letting your feelings cloud our judgement."

You press your hands against your chest and raise your brows incredulously at your mother.

Jesus Christ, she doesn't know what the term 'loyalty' is at all.

"You're something else, you know that? Can't be fucking loyal to anyone. If it was kirk you'd let them take him?"

she rolls her eyes, and wraps her arms around herself.

"That's enough"

"This is why we fucking bounced around from man's house to man's house when I was younger.

You cant just firmly stand behind someone. Its fucking pathetic. Unlike you, I'm going to fight for someone I care about"

You push past her, storming down the hall towards the front door, before ripping it open and jogging down the stairs.

"Scarlett! Get back here!"

Not fucking happening.
