Unconventional Love

Chapter 5

I've had thoughts about my brother since I was 12 and he was 17 I knew they weren't right but I couldn't help it I've tried getting over him but it just wouldn't work. I've spent nights dreaming and praying that he wasn't my brother and I could love him freely and openly so when I found out that I wasn't my parents' biological child I felt a little bit happy because now I could finally be with Leo but I didn't know if he felt the same about me. Finding out that he already had someone he liked was like dousing me with a large bucket of ice water and that night I cried myself to sleep.

‎ After that day, Leo started coming back more often and he was almost always with me but I noticed several times my parents trying to talk to him but he deliberately ignored them. So my parents spent their time bonding and making up for old times ' sake with Emily.

‎ One night Liam slept over but after a nightmare, I woke up in tears, I went to Leo because he was the only one who knew how to comfort me after nightmares. He followed me back to my room and told me that he was going to keep me company until I fell asleep. When I was about to fall asleep I heard him say "Now no one will be able to come between us anymore" I ignored it because it was probably my brain messing with me because of my obsessive love for him.

‎ When I woke up the next morning Leo was nowhere to be found then I went downstairs and I heard voices then I slowed down my steps to make sure that they were as silent as possible and it was my parents speaking to Leo I was already confused as to what was going on but then I heard my mom say "If you really like her that much then fine you can be with her but our only condition is she has to love u back and it shouldn't be forced." Leo broke into the brightest smile and gave them the biggest hug that morning during breakfast the tension that was there before hanging thick in the air seemed to evaporate into thin air. We all talked about how we were going to spend our day but Emily didn't say anything and when I was about to ask her what was wrong she said that it was about time she gave her final verdict on whether she wanted to stay here or go back to her former life.
