It's been a week now and still nothing. Absolutely nothing. No response, nothing.

I can't believe she's doing everything possible to stay as far away from me as possible. Why must she complicate this further?

I've been calling her often than usual lately and she refuses to pick up my calls.

She won't answer my messages and even went as far as to run, literally run away from me.

On Thursday I decided to confront Elisabeth at work and resolve our little issues but as soon as she laid her beautiful green blue eyes on me she run quickly to the parking lot and drove full speed away from Inez's fashion house. I couldn't believe it.

I thought after what happened between us last week then she'll finally realize that there's no need to resist anymore. That she would agree to continue our exclusive affair. Turns out I'm wrong.

Betty is still stubborn and this time she's even more focused on avoiding any physical contact with me.

I've gone to her dormroom a couple of times during hours I knew she'll be there but Elisabeth was nowhere near her dormroom.

I occasionally spot her and Callum leaving campus together probably going on a date looking happy around each other as if in love. Bullshit.

I bet Elisabeth didn't tell him about what we did. I don't expect her to. She must be overjoyed to be spending time with Callum. Though I don't admit this to him, Callum is infact a very decent person. Any girl would want him.

The thought of Elisabeth wanting Callum instead of me does not sit right with me. I don't understand why, but the idea of her ever falling in love with Callum is infuriating. I won't dwell on the thought but I hope they never last. I mean this in the nicest way possible.

I noticed her first, Callum showed up and got between us and suddenly Betty pays him so much attention and feels like she owes him something. She owes him nothing. She doesn't owe anybody anything.

So what if Callum has been good to her? It doesn't mean she has to give her soul to him in a silver platter. I bet Callum didn't even struggle to make Elisabeth his girlfriend. He hasn't even known her for long. He will never know her the way I know her.

Elisabeth and I have an understanding that he won't ever be able to compete with. Even if he tried.

"What are you thinking about?" I heard Adrian ask me. "You've been staring at nothing for nearly thirty minutes."

I didn't shift my gaze to him, Instead looked straight ahead. Adrian was watching a show on TV, I was suppose to be doing the same but my mind strayed to other things.

"Is this about Inez?" He asked hesitantly.

"Don't dare bring her up." I warned.

The last person I want to hear about is that traitor for a sister.

"I don't mean to offend you but she's really sorry about everything. It's been six years James. That's a very long time to hold a grudge." He insinuated.

What Inez did to me, to us, is unforgivable. I can't understand why Adrian insists we forgive her. Just because he found the heart to pardon Inez for her selfishness doesn't mean that I and Callum should do the same. Callum doesn't want anything to do with her and neither do I.

"Inez decided out of her own free will to do what she did. Somethings only God can forgive. And this is one of them." I told him.

I was being serious.

Adrian sighed. "So what do you want her to do?"

"Nothing. She can't do shit that will earn our forgiveness and respect again." I spat. "And an apology won't get her anywhere. We deserve more than sorry and pathetic tears."

"So the two of you will pretend to the happy siblings infront everyone else but behave like strangers behind closed doors forever? She apologized to us, she came back to correct her wrong. Why can't you two just forgive her?" Adrian questioned. "Inez has no family but you, especially after your father disowned her."

I'm so glad he did that to her. She deserved it.

"Where was she when we needed her?" I turned to face him.

I wasn't being kind but she acted in the worst of ways.

"If Inez failed to be there for us then, why should we be here for her now?" I asked him.

He gave me the look of disapproval.

"I understand you James. I was one of the people Inez hurt but everyone deserves a second chance." He defended.

"Second chance? We gave her so many chances. Inez wasted them and when it was too late she decided to show up like nothing happened."

I stood up and left Adrian sitting on the sofa.

"If you're going to agitate me the entire time you are here then I suggest you leave my apartment." I told him and walked to the kitchen.

I opened the fridge and took out a bottle milk.

Why does Adrian always have to bring up the issue with Inez? I'm relieved that Callum has taken my side on this. It would've been really infuriating if both of them were forcing me to forgive that witch.

Adrian has always been closer to Inez in the past more than I and Callum despite the fact that Inez is my sister. This is why it was so easy for him to forgive her the moment she pleaded for it.

That's not the same with me. I've made up my mind.

I poured some milk into a glass and drank it cold.

"I'm sorry for bringing her up." Adrian sat on the kitchen island. "I over stepped."

I nodded.

"Inez wasn't the person in my mind." I told him. "She never crosses my mind."

He stared at me curiously.

"Then who was it? I'm sure it wasn't Merissa." He chuckled. "I've noticed you don't really care about her."

Merissa is also another person who never crosses my mind.

"Some girl." I replied casually. "She's been ignoring me and no one ever ignores me."

Adrian snorted and adjusted his sitting position so he could face me more clearly.

"This is new. James Andrew Scott obsessing over some girl."

Obsessing? I would never.

"Very funny Adrian." I shook my head at him.

"Then why does it bother you that she avoids you?" He was starting to annoy me.

"I don't give a damn." I insisted. "I was just a little curious." I brushed it off.

"Curious for thirty minutes." He raised a brow.

"Leave my apartment Adrian."

He started laughing as if any of this was funny.

I'm not obsessed with Elisabeth. I just miss having a good time with her. She's way more interesting than Merissa or any other girl for that matter. In fact she's......

Okay, I need to stop.

"I'm not done with that episode of American dad. I won't be leaving till later." He got off the counter and went to the leaving room.

Sometimes I can't stand him. Which reminds me, if it wasn't for Adrian, then Elisabeth and Callum would've never met. He was the one who paid Elisabeth to sleep with Callum though she never pushed through with it. Adrian doesn't need to know that.

Adrian isn't aware that Callum and Elisabeth are dating. I doubt he even remembers her name, if he even knows it. I wonder what he'll think about this? The girl from the strip club dating his brother.

Callum is probably hiding the relationship from Adrian. Knowing Callum, he would've told Adrian by now, but he hasn't.

If Callum even dares sleep with Elisabeth because he's trying to move on from Christine, then I won't stand for it. He may as well flee the state before I find him. There's no way on Earth am letting Callum get away with using Elisabeth.

I have to confront him about it.

Callum needs to explain the main reason to why he's dating Elisabeth in the first place. Fuck if it's none of my business. I don't give a shit.

Callum has known her for less than a month and suddenly they're in a relationship.

Am very certain that Callum doesn't have feelings for Betty.

The Callum I know would've taken time to actually know the girl well enough to even consider dating her. Not jumping into a relationship so fast.
