My stepfather.

? chapter 11. ?

"Mom I think james is a grown man, he doesn't need us and can take care of himself."

"Yes baby she's right" He says and I want to punch him in the face

"I know but do if for me, I hate that you have to stay alone"

Was she serious, first off it was cringe and why was she treating him like some sort of baby.

"Yes don't worry, I can stay over at your place" Romeo says and I want to bury myself underground. Litterly everything was going wrong that day.
After a while, the doctors came to warn us that the visit was over so we all headed back home and that car ride was the most awkward moment of my whole life. Romeo and I tried to make small talks but james had such an empowering energy it was intimidating.
When we arrived home, james dropped us and didn't come out of the car

"You're not coming?" I said

"Nah, I'll leave you too." He said in a cold and sarcastic tone while barely looking at me

"You're not coming back?"

"I don't know" He says before driving off and god he was mad, more than he was before, I could feel it. Even though I was mad at him, there was still a part of me that was disappointed that he left.
We watched him drive off to I don't know where. And I felt a big lump in my throat because I knew he was mad at me and I absolutely hated it. I couldn't stand the idea of him being mad at me.

"Thank God, I was hoping he would leave so we could be alone." Romeo said  laughing and I faked my laugh so It wouldn't be awkward. We spent the evening together watching movies, he tried making out a few times but I told him I wasn't in the mood because of my mother. Truth was, the whole evening I couldn't take my mind off of him, james. I wanted to know where he was, if he was ok, if he was coming back... my mind had millions of questions that was left unanswered. After a while romeo had fallen asleep on the couch so I woke up and told him to go to bed. We went to my room and slept.

But no matter how much I'd close my eyes and try to sleep, I couldn't and especially with romeo snoring for hours, it wasnt helping. So I decided to go downstairs to have a drink. It was around 1am, as I went downstairs, my heart dropped and I flinched as I saw james finally coming inside the house and locking the door behind him, my heart felt full of joy when I saw him. I was so happy that he came back even though we were on bad terms. He looked tired and I could smell the alcohol from him. We looked at each other, without saying a word

"Have you been drinking?"

"A little"

"What's wrong with you james?'' I whispered

"You said you f*cking loved him on the phone"

"What the f*ck? Are you kidding me? Is that why you were being an asshole to me all day? You're litterly dating my mother! How can you be jealous? Are you out of your mind? This whole thing was a mistake, we never should've done this in the first place, look how f*cked up this situation is"

"Doll." His deep Raspy voice sent chills down my spine
"I know, f*ck man I know but seeing you with him it drives me crazy"

"You don't have the right to! It's unfair! You think it don't hurt me when I see you with my- m- ugh whatever!"

"I don't know Whats wrong with me doll I don't know what you're doing to me but f*ck I can't control myself anymore."

"This was a huge mistake"

He approaches me slowly, and tucks my hair behind my ear

"Is it, princess?"

I gulp trying to remain calm but my heart is beating like crazy
