I was in London, I have a couple of chook ups, hope it doesn’t bother you.”

“You know it doesn’t. I had a thing with Zac as well but now it’s done. One-night stand.”

“Yeah, I know. I just, you know, letting you know.”

“Why’s that? We never explain ourselves to each other before.”

“Without reason. I just really missed you, you know. And now I don’t have my usual girls to spend a night, so I just thought that I will focus on you, you know?” This makes me turn my head in his direction. Is he asking me to take our ‘relationship’ to the next level? Is he really that jealous of Zac that he would stop whoring himself?

“Do what you want Ty. I don’t care. We are siblings, we cannot be together, not officially.”

“You know that this is bullshit. We are not related. I even spoke with dad about it and he doesn’t care.”

“You did what?” Does father know? How could he do it behind my back? I am not ready for some bullshit relationships.

“Don’t be mad. This separation showed me that I really care about you, and when this guy came and claim you in front of me, I just… I decided to be your first. You know, I have already unopened you, so now we could really be a thing. What you gonna say?”

I wanted it; I really did. But it was before, before I came here. Before you met Liam, stupid. Not again, this voice inside my head is making me feel like crazy.

“Yeah, okay, we could try that but let’s not push this too much.” I smile at him because what else could I do. I love him and he loves me. Maybe a relationship with Ty will help me to forget about Liam.

For a whole weekend, I stayed at home with my boys. We catch up with drama in school. I told them what those pricks’ve done to me and boys decided to give them a punishment, whatever it means. I also decided to stop thinking about Liam, he has a fiancé and now, I have a boyfriend.

Monday came pretty fast. As soon as we step out of the car, all eyes are on us. Ty takes my hand in his and we march through the hall. People whisper and point at us. We stop at my locker to collect my things and then huge hand closes my locker. I jump and confused look at the intruder.

“The fuck you’ve done to my car, bitch?” Liam’s voice seems to be a little annoyed.

“Keep yourself away from my girl or I will turn your life a living hell,” Ty answers for me. I don’t need his sudden alpha attitude to speak for me. I can handle myself.

“What do you mean? I haven’t touched your car.” I answer.

“I know that was you. Stop making yourself to look so innocent. I know you; I know what you have done to Russo family. I know you think you are a player in this game, but you are not. You are only a pawn in your father hands. Listen to me very carefully. Stop making so many mistakes and maybe you will survive to your upcoming birthday, but I guarantee you, you are not expecting what they planned for you.” A shiver went down my spine. Who? Who is he talking about?

“What?” my voice is confused.

“Shut your damn mouth or I will help you!” Ty’s fist flies and knocks Liam right into his nose. Blood pours from it immediately. Confused, I step away from them. Liam shakes his head and punch Ty right back. Both of them went wrestling on the ground. The strong arm wraps around my middle.

“Come with me beautiful, we need to talk” Zac’s soft whisper reaches my ear. I look at him and nod my head. He takes my hand and leads me out of school. The warning bell rings but he doesn’t care. We walk straight to the nearest park at the back of the school. Zac motions for me to sit down and I do.

“What are you want to talk about?” I ask.

“I want to apologise for my behaviour at the competition. That was messed up, I just didn’t know who he is, and I thought that he is overstepping.” He looks at his hands.

“Don’t worry about it, it’s fine.”

“No, it’s not. I know that we have some history together and I know that you don’t want to do anything with me, but you need to believe me, it wasn’t me. I would never do anything like to you, to anyone actually.” I believe him. Zac is a nice guy who is part- time playboy as well.

“I know. I wasn’t mad at you. I was mad at Liam and I just use all my anger at you, that was stupid. I am sorry as well.” This guy is making me soft. I would never, in a million years, apologise to a guy, but I realise that this change of environment developed some feelings I didn’t know I could have.

“Are you apologizing? For real? I would never say that you are a person who will do it.” He chuckles.

“Yeah, don’t tell anyone because I will kill you.”

“Okay, okay… so, are you and that guy a thing now?”

“You could say that. I don’t know why I am telling you this, but Tyler is my brother. We are not related by blood, but his father adopted me when I was four. We never treat ourselves like siblings. Our relation is slightly complicated.” I look at him, but I don’t see any judgements in his eyes, just kindness.

“I saw your smile when he came on stage. I mean, I saw that you were shocked but also excited. I know that you probably think that I have some feelings for you, but I don’t. I mean, when I first saw you, you made an impression, because come on you are stunning baby girl, and I would need to be blind to
