《My Brothers' Enemy》42. A Wrap Up
Advertisement
It's been two weeks since everything went out in the open. And it's fair to say that it has been quiet ever since. Like no drama, I know, shocker! But yeah.
Let me give you a wrap up. Carter and Nora have been acting extra lovey dovey, but now they are in the 'friends phase', so we are not rushing them like we usually do. Lucas and Della are disgusting, as usual, but I honestly think they are becoming more comfortable in front of us, and dare I say, I freaking hate it. Full make-out sessions, non stop. I am happy they are good, but I feel like we by now we know if Lucas is a peaches or berries man. Peaches is the answer, and I hate that I know it.
Levi and Abby are adorable, nothing new. Well, aside from the fact that Abby is about to get her Instagram banned because of the numerous reports it has been getting. Hah, yeah those reports were Levi. He apologized, though, and now he gets to be her official photographer. He hates it, but he kinda saw that coming anyways.
Veronica and Logan have been on the extra side of life. Constantly picking on each other, fighting, raising their voices like there is no tomorrow. I know Logan gave away that he actually likes her, but the coward prevented me from setting them up like we've agreed, claiming that he wasn't thinking then and that he just wanted to annoy me. I would be the dumbest loser in the world if I believed the liar he is, the thing is that I just don't know why he is being difficult. Don't even get me started on the fact that Veronica's date has suddenly disappeared from planet Earth, and this is Veronica we are talking about, the girl guys would die to even look at.
Noah. He has been perfect. I am content with how things turned out. Lucas is still not very happy about the whole idea, even though now we know what has really happened with Asher, they still were very arrogant in the way they treated each other; however, no one tries to include me which I was grateful for.
''so what are you gonna say again?'' Noah's voice broke me out of my trance as I rolled my eyes for the hundredth time today.
''Fuck you, Timmy! My blother will kidnap you and sell your naughty or--'' Skylar started out strong, but then stammered on her words.
''Organ, Sky. Say it again.'' Noah sighed, patting his seven year old sister.
''No!'' I screamed. What the hell is wrong with him? ''Sky, baby,'' I cooed, getting on my knees in front of this patch of sweetness, hell to her brother, ''promise me you are not going to repeat these very very bad words, alright baby?''
''She sh--'' I glared at Noah, silencing him. He sighed out loud, dropping his eyes back to sky before nodding.
''B-but Timmy annoys me so much, he is an a-a...ass hole!'' Her blonde hair flew around her petite face adorably as she said those delusional words out of frustration. I tired hiding my smile, shifting my face into an upset frown.
''No, sweet heart. Timmy is just a boy, and he will get punished if you tell your teacher about what he does to you.'' I corrected her quickly, smoothing down her fiery hair. She stayed silent as if thinking about my words before she nodded her head in agreement. I grinned when she threw her arms around me, peppering my face with kisses.

I carried her along when I stood up, still in our fit of laughter. ''Whatever.'' Noah muttered under his breath, but his own smile was beating him.
I shook my head, ''Jealous brother, aren't you?'' I smirked, raising my brow at him.
He looked at me, mirroring my own smirk, ''No. I am a jealous boyfriend. Wish I could be sky, wouldn't that be nice?'' I coughed, wide eyed, glaring at him.
''Are boys always like dat, Emma? I wish I could be spiterman so that I could trap them all in my web and burn them.'' Sky looked thoughtful. Does sitting with Noah for a long time have this effect on a person?
''What about we go watch a princess movie, huh? You go choose whichever one you like, and I will go make some popcorn, alright?'' I suggested, ignoring Noah's hand that circled its way around my waist, pulling me flesh against flesh.
''Alrighty!'' Sky jumped from my embrace and into her room like a rocket, leaving me alone with her brother.
Her brother has been touchy, flirty, and adorable lately, and I am finding myself loving this whatever we are in right now. Even though the blood between him and Lucas isn't clear yet, Noah has proved that he doesn't care for shit as long as we were official. He would kiss me goodbye and grin at Lucas like he wants to see a reaction out of him, but Lucas would stubbornly clench his hands and repay the smile, evilly.
On the other hand, Logan and Noah have been okay, and that made me wonder if they were really close before. I've asked Carter about it, and he had told me that Lucas and Noah were inspirable. When Asher pulled his act, Lucas had felt like he was betrayed by his best-friend while Logan felt anger for his brother, and that was why Levi and Carter have always been the cool ones out of all of them.
I turned around to a cheeky Noah as he grinned, wasting no time in capturing my lips with his in an earth-shattering kiss. I melted on spot, not ready for the sudden fire that had enveloped me. I smiled against his plump lips when I pulled away slightly, ''Your little sister is a few feet away. Behave.''
''Sky? Sky would support me, babe.'' He smirked, pulling me in for another round when a high pitched scream stopped us.
''Da Freak?!'' Sky screamed, making us pull away from each other. Well, what a way to be busted. ''Are you both malied?'' She narrowed her eyes at us, her words causing me to choke on air.
''Maybe--'' I hit Noah on the shoulder, glaring at him through my fit of coughs.
''No--No, baby, of course we are not.'' I said, patting my chest while Noah is chuckling as if the best comedy show was unfolding right in front of him.
''Mommy and daddy kiss and they are malied, so how come you do it?'' she questioned, curiously, her bright blue eyes wide, reflecting her innocence.
''Well...Noah and I are... you know boyfriend and girlfriend?'' I used two fingers to link them together and I know I looked stupid by the way Noah was wheezing beside me, but I continued anyways, ''So we kiss.''
''Whatevel, it's not like Timmy would ever do that.'' She mumbled under her breath, turning around to leave us.
''W-what?'' Noah asked, clearly he couldn't quite catch what she has just said.
I looked at him quickly before he would ask further questions, ''She chose Ariel. Princess Ariel.'' His hooded eyes told me he knew I was bluffing, so I quickly changed the topic, ''Let's go make some popcorn, yes honey?'' I gave him my best flirtatious smile before scurrying off to the kitchen with him trailing after me.

"So now what? She can't sing anymore?" Noah's squeaky voice broke the emotional roller coaster hanging in the air. I twirled my body towards him, hand on cheek, nodding my head as an answer.
He cleared his voice, turning it back to its husky, chilling self before getting up, "stupid movie anyways".
"She's gonna hafe it back, just you wai. This octopus is gonna get strankled!" Skylar shouted, getting on her knees in excitement.
"Really?" Noah asked, plopping back down next to me.
"Totally." Sky answered, focusing her attention back to the big screen.
"Oh so you are so soft after all." I mumbled, not looking at him.
"W-what?" He asked, his voice rough again. I looked at him, amusement dancing in my eyes as I pinched his cheek playfully without answering him.

"What's wrong with them?" I asked as I plopped down next to Della and Abby.
We were back at my house, where we were all gathered without the boys. Nora and Ver were on the other couch with their pajamas on. They slept here yesterday, and will probably do today as well. Mom and dad are out of country if you are confused, but I can already tell they are head over heels for Della, Veronica, and Nora, so they wouldn't care if the girls stayed here forever, honestly.
"Logan and Ver fought again." Abby answered me, and then added in a hushed voice, "Surprised not."
Oh god save us. This is getting tiring now. Ver was scowling, looking at the floor, but I couldn't help but notice that grim look she had on, like she was on verge of tears by the way her teeth kept biting her lower lip, I assumed she was holding back a tornado.
"You okay there, Ver?" Della mirrored my question, so that means I wasn't the only one that noticed.
She looked at us, letting her guard down a little bit, and then at all. She burst out into tears, tensing all of us up.
"I hate your brother so much. Y-you d-don't ev—even know! He is a narcissistic, arrogant, stupid bastard! I ho-hope he fucking rot in hell, and let's see if he will be all mr. Toughy tough or not! GOD!" She screamed out in desperation, continuing her fit in a pillow.
"Do you have sedatives?" Della whispered from next to me, frozen in her position as if Veronica would burst if she moved.
Veronica was still screaming in the pillow like a maniac while Nora was trying to get a grip on her. Keyword: tried.
"Work, people! She is going insane!" Abby rose to her feet, clutching Veronica's arms tightly, knocking some sense into her.
"Get your hands off of me, Abby!" Veronica screamed into the pillow.
"Stop, Veronica for God's sake. You are doing this for this ass? Seriously? I thought you were our rock." I said, getting up to head to the kitchen.
She raised her head slowly, venom written over her features, "it's not the time for a psychological talk, Emma." She seethed out, bringing her head back into the pillow.
"She is right, though. He is Logan. The walking definition of an asshole. And you are Veronica. The walking definition of a badass. Grow some sense into who you are getting all worked up for." Nora stated, slowly stroking her back.
I kept an ear with them as I headed into the kitchen to prepare something sweet for Veronica. Always helps like magic.
Our kitchen is opened up at the living room, or not opened as opened entirely. The distance between both areas is very short, meaning I could see the whole living area from inside the kitchen.
I brought white toast from the pantry, along with the Nutella jar from the fridge and finally some marshmallows.
I prepared the sandwiches and plopped them on the grill to melt a little, all the while listening to their conversation.
"Would you like to tell us what happened?" Della asked her gently, patting her knee in encouragement.
Veronica nodded, taking a deep breath before speaking, "I went to pick up something from Carter's house. My head phones, I forgot them there last time." Carter's house is where they are at right now. "Noah and Levi were there as well, trying to get used to the fact that they should start hanging out like civil people. Levi's and Carter's idea by the way." We all nodded understandably.
"Anyways. Levi opened the front door, and I took my way up running to look for them as quick as possible. While I was up there, I over heard Logan talking on the phone with a girl called B-blear?"
"Briar?" Della interjected, and Veronica nodded wildly.
"Yeah. That is she. She seemed pretty persistent in having a night with him or whatever. I hope his dick falls off while he is at it." She shook her head, and continued, "He was shaking her off at first, and then all of a sudden he agreed. Literally, a second he was like 'shut up you' and the next 'wait for me naked'."
"I couldn't understand his change in behavior, but when I entered the room after knocking lightly, he stayed put looking at me."
"Did he say anything?" Abby asked quickly.
"No." She shook her head. "At first, no. He just stayed there looking at me while I searched for the head phones. I found them and just as I was about to get out of the room, he pulled me back inside and started talking about how I had no business in listening to his conversation on the phone. He thought I was eavesdropping or whatever."
So that's it?
I thought while walking back. Veronica doesn't get upset because he said something out of line. That's basically how things work between them.
"So?" I asked, reaching them. Veronica looked at me through hooded eyes, her eyes teary.
"Yeah, you guys fight all the time. What's new?" Abby was to talk this time, mirroring our questioning eyes in a single question.
Veronica slumped back into the couch after taking one of the sandwiches to munch on it. She took a bite before speaking, "Yeah. You're right." She sighed out loud, "there is something else." She took another big bite.
"And that is?" Nora asked.
''He kissed me...'', SAY WHAT!? ''and I kissed him back.''
''SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!'' Abby screamed on top of her lungs, knocking me out of trance. Well that was one hell of a surprise honestly.
Before anyone could say one more thing, Veronica talked again, ''Then, I ran.''
''Idiota!'' Della pushed her off the couch. Veronica groaned in pain, but stayed down there on the ground, her eyes up at the ceiling. She sighed out loud and took another bite of her sandwich.
Nora whined loudly, clearly done with both of their shits, ''I am so done with you guys!'' She pinched two fingers together, ''You were this close to finally getting together, and whoop, you ran. You freaking ran!''
Veronica started laughing until she went into a cough fist with all the food stacked up into her mouth. She moved up in a sitting position, hitting her chest lightly to sober up. Once done, she smiled manically before taking yet another bite. I rolled my eyes.
''Just don't get mad when we interfere.'' Abby threatened, reaching for a sandwich. Veronica's glare became prominent as she focused on Abby.
''You wouldn't dare.'' Abby flipped her off, which caused me to smile proudly. Oh man, we would dare.
I was about to back Abby up when my phone started ringing. Della grabbed it for me from next to her. ''Logan.'' She laughed, glancing at Veronica.
I smiled before answering, ''Hey, wassup?''
''Hey, dude. We are coming over, little sis.'' I heard noise coming from the background, as if someone was fighting.
''Who exactly is 'we'?'' I asked, gaining the attention of the girls, who were already munching off their sandwiches. I reached for one in the process.
''All of us. Carter, Lucas, Noah, Levi, and fucking gorgeous Logan.'' He finished off the same time I heard crashing from the other end.
''What!? Noah is coming? Are you sure Lucas is okay with that?'' I asked, alerted by the information. This is gonna be pure mess.
There was a pause before I heard something else crash and then Logan spoke, ''Yeah, they are still discussing it, but we are coming....'' another crash, a violent one. ''Gotta go if you still want your brother and boyfriend in one piece.'' I couldn't answer as he quickly hang up on me.
''What's wrong?'' Della asked first thing.
My eyes were still wide from the surprise, and this got them pretty much wired up even more, ''They are all coming over?'' It was more of a question. They all jumped from their position.
''What the fuck?!'' Veronica screamed, adjusting her onesie pajama as if Logan was on the door staring at her.
''Goodness, couldn't they leave a little warning?'' Nora mumbled. Good for her, she was wearing a nice pajama whilst the rest of us were swallowed in their own.
''I am not changing, fuck'em for surprising me like that.'' Veronica shouted, having a second heart.
''I am going, though! I look like Winnie the Pooh.'' Abby stood up from the couch, already making her way up to my room.
Della stood up as well, ''Hehehehe...'' she laughed mockingly, trailing after Abby.
''You are not changing?'' Nora asked me, smiling at my clothes. I was wearing a Stitch onesie. And I was comfortable. She took her hint from the look in my eyes.
''That's the energy I need right now, Emmz. Who cares what they think?'' She twirled her hand in the air randomly, but aggressively. ''Hey can I have another sandwich?'' She asked nicely, quickly changing her mood.
She reached over for the tray, grabbing herself another, ''Thanks, Emms.'' She smiled cheekily.
That was gonna be a long night.
