My Stepbrother's Baby Evan
There was a knock on my door, but I ignored it. It wasn’t the first time I’d heard it today, and it probably wouldn’t be the last.“Evan, can you come out for a minute, please?”My dad’s voice was muffled by the door and the music I’d put on, and I was tempted to turn the volume up until he complained about it, then decided I was too lazy to be that petty.“I’m busy!” I called back.Only, I wasn’t. I was locked in my room because I wanted to be alone. I hadn't even gone to school, and Dad hadn't yelled at me about it, because I knew he at least felt guilty.It wasn’t enough for me.I waited, but there was no word from the other side of the door, so I figured he must have gone back downstairs. I sighed and threw an arm over my eyes, the past few days still seeming unreal.With no more screaming arguments now, the house was silent, too silent, because Mom was no longer there. She didn’t leave home, at least, not voluntarily.She found out Dad had started an affair with another woman, an

I just rang the doorbell and got surprised when the door was opened in the next second, and Evan was the one standing there.“Um, hi,” I murmured.I didn’t know what to read in his expression when he just stood there and stared at me, but I figured he was at least surprised to see me there.“Sorry—” I started to say, only to cut off when he suddenly grabbed my hand and dragged me into the house.I yelped and hurried behind him as he tugged at me, and we hurried up the stairs. He pushed me into a room and closed the door behind us, and I realized half a second later that it was a bedroom, most likely his. In the next moment, Evan whirled me around so fast I was dizzy, then he wrapped an arm around my waist, drug my body harshly against his, and slanted his mouth over mine in a hard kiss before I had time to think.“Mmh!”I let out a sound of surprise, my hands went up to his shoulders and clutched at him. I wasn’t sure whether to push him away or pull him closer. Evan didn’t give me mu

“Are you ready to go?” I asked.It was an hour later after we’d both showered and gotten dressed. Anita blushed, hugging herself as she shuffled her feet.“I can just walk back.”Even though I found her sudden shyness a little amusing, I just rolled my eyes at her.“My place is further from school, and if you have to walk all the way home after coming here, how long will that take you? It’s already this late, just let me drop you off.”She pursed her lips, but I didn’t miss that she wasn’t all that displeased. I took my car keys and opened the door, but she still hesitated.“Um, I know it’s a little late to ask this, but there isn’t anyone else at home, right?”I crooked a corner of my lips up but didn’t say anything as I headed out. I heard her scrambling to follow me. I could have just told her my dad was home, but if he’d stayed downstairs then he wouldn’t have heard us, and it wasn’t like I planned to introduce them.After the past couple of hours, I was feeling relaxed, like all

I blinked as it dawned on me that I’d read the same line over and over again. Or rather, I’d stared at that same line for quite a while. I still had no idea what it said. I narrowed my eyes and tried to focus, leaned my head in my hand, but my mind wandered with the first word.Dammit.I rubbed a hand roughly down my face then went back to my attempts to focus. I leaned my head back into my hand, narrowed my eyes and stared at the page, but a few seconds later, my mind wandered again. Of course, it wandered to Anita, and the last time I was at her place.After another long moment of inattention, I growled to myself and leaned back in my seat to close my eyes against it all. I was at home, locked in my room while I tried to study. I didn’t want my dad to walk in and bother me, and he couldn’t if my door was locked. I knew he was mad at me, but the standard in our house was to ignore each other or argue, and I went for the former. I couldn’t seem to get into the process, though.Probabl

“You’re seriously going to the library?”I scowled at the girl holding my arm. She was a cheerleader, and I knew her, but right then, I wasn’t in the mood. Everyone must have noticed that I was avoiding Anita lately, because ever since I got back to school nearly a week ago, I hadn't approached her, and had done my best not to appear in her line of sight. I didn’t think she’d come after me, she didn’t seem like the bold type of girl, but I didn’t like what I felt when I saw her, either.“Just come and hang out with us,” the girl said insistently. “The others are waiting.”“I’m not going,” I said irritably, tugging my arm out of her hold. “Just tell them I’m busy.”I walked away without a look back. She must have been new in the cheerleader squad because she wasn’t a girl I’d thought of dating before, and she wasn’t a senior, but the team and the cheerleader squad hung out often, so I should know her, but I couldn’t bring myself to think about it.It was time for lunch, and the guys ha

Hayley led the way into her house, and I followed dejectedly. She paused after closing the door, listening, before she turned to me with a nod.“Okay, no one’s home. Go up to my room, and I’ll follow you with drinks.”She headed for the kitchen, and I made my way up the stairs. I’d come to her place often enough since we became friends that I was pretty familiar with her house. In her room, I tossed off my shoes and sat on the bed, leaning back against the headboard. I stared at my lap, playing with my fingers, only looking up when Hayley entered the room.“Here,” she said. She held out a can of soda to me, then sat across from me, keeping the other one to herself. “Sorry I don’t have a lot of snacks in the house. How are you feeling?”I sighed, listlessly pulling the tab on the soda can, then taking a sip.“Not very well,” I admitted. “You already know my life is a total mess.”“Did something happen?”I arched an eyebrow. “You mean, besides the incident that happened at Evan’s place

I hurried back to school. When school let out, I’d gone with Hayley straight to her place because it was close to the school, so going back took me about fifteen minutes. I followed his directions in the text and went to the football field, one of the few places in the school I’d never stepped foot in during my years in high school.Evan had practice, and he wanted to meet right after. Time had already passed so I shouldn’t have to wait long, though I didn’t know how long practice was supposed to last, to begin with.I could see them practicing long before I got close. Besides the team and the cheerleaders, a few students were sitting in the stands watching the practice. I headed over and took one of the lower seats, apart from everyone else. I frowned over at the field, looking through the running bodies and trying to figure out which one was Evan. I did find him, but only because I glimpsed his name on the back of his jersey.My eyes followed him as he moved around the field, and I

Mom and I walked into the diner and found an empty table for two.“I didn’t think we’d get time for it right now?” I admitted.Mom smiled at me. “Things have been hard for both of us recently. I think we both need this.”I wasn’t going to argue, even though she didn’t know just how hard things were going to get yet. The scent in the diner had my mouth watering, and I hadn't realized I’d been craving pie before we walked in here.A waitress stopped by our table and took our order. It was the same thing we always got when we came out, a slice of pie. Mom’s jobs didn’t pay a lot of money, and we couldn’t afford to eat out with all the bills, but Mom could at least splurge to get us both a mug of hot chocolate and apple pie once every month. We’d turned it into something we did for fun as a family of two. I wasn’t feeling it this month, but I wouldn’t say no to apple pie.“You look like you haven’t eaten in ages,” Mom laughed, watching me dig into my pie.I shot her a smile, wondering whe
