........
James.

I saw the last person I'd expect but he obviously didn't notice because he kept playing the piano and he was good.

I'm not even going to lie.

Instead of going inside to introduce myself, I just stood there enjoying his music because of course, I loved every kind of music.

Five minutes later........
He stood up to get his things and immediately he looked at me, he screamed.

As in, imagine a guy that you just heard his voice sound so manly just like Jordan is now screaming like a girl.

I started laughing seriously.

I just couldn't hold it.

"Very very funny. You got me there but its OK. Hi I'm James and you look familiar".

"Yh, I know, we have some classes together. The name's Serena. Nice British accent by the way and of course, how can I forget the scream".

Of course, I started laughing, but this time he starts laughing with me.

I should really stop comparing him with Jordan but how could I when they were almost alike.

His laugh was beautiful, too.

"So, what are you doing here. You should be at lunch", he said.

"I should ask you the same thing but I came here for some peace and quiet. I'm a music person just like you. I thought of singing before I go back out".

"Wow, can I hear you sing?"

"Of course."

We sat down close to each other and I started singing Without Me By Halsey and he immediately started playing piano.

And let me tell you, our duo was just too beautiful.

JORDAN'S P.O.V.
I was talking with the guys and Chris's gang and Jade even though sometimes Chris's behaviour was unnecessarily annoying and I still remembered what Rina told me yesterday.

Now I actually wanted to spent time with her.

It seemed like Williams and Jade read my mind but what shocked us all was when Jade turned to ask her a question.

She wasn't there, not even her bag.

Were we all so preoccupied with our food that we didn't notice when she left?

I, all of a sudden, became worried and when I'm worried, my hands starts sweating.

Damien whispered in my ear immediately.

"Go look for your girl. Its alright".

I gave him a tired smile and ran out of lunch with my remaining food in my bag.

I didn't see her in the locker area so I was lost.

I decided to check the library but the librarian confirmed she wasn't there.

I checked the toilet but I saw other girls not her.

I was out of ideas.

Until, I remembered elementary when she would always love to sing and play the instruments that some girls would get jealous of her.

I , immediately, ran to the music room but what I saw didn't shock me, it got me furious.

I clenched my fist so hard.

Why was she with him?

Why were they laughing and looking at each other in a magical way?

OK, now I was definitely jealous but I didn't want to fight with her again after yesterday especially my love confession.

And definitely not over this animal.

God, I hated and despised him with all might.

I silently walked in but Rina immediately noticed and stood up.

"Em... Jordan why are you here?"

"I was looking for you everywhere, I was worried about you".

She then whispered, "It didn't look like that during lunch" but I heard it. I felt hurt that she felt that way but I decided not to push it.

"Hi I'm James". He brought out his hand to shake me but in his eyes, I could see the evil glint in his eye, almost like he was smirking at me but he was smiling.

I didn't want Rina to find out yet so I shook him but I didn't just do that, I squeezed his hand forcefully and said,

"Jordan's the name".

Rina immediately stepped up between us to ease the tension.

"I'm leaving if you guys are done".

"Babe, would you like to get some food outside school?"

Did he just call her babe, Tf!!!!

Nobody calls her that and does he think we're in England that he uses that on any girl he sees.

But what Rina says calms my heart and makes me giggle.

"Are you talking to Jordan because I'm definitely not your babe".

But I guess it still did not help matters.

"OK, I'm sorry mi'lady but will you please accept my offer?"

And this time, she blushed.

She actually blushed and he smiled even more.

Its today meant to end bad for me because this is just ridiculous.

"Yeah, sure no problem at all".

And instantly, she turned around to meet me and she pulled me in and kissed me. Mind you, this wasn't short and of course, being the smart man I am, I took advantage of it and held her waist just to show James that she was a no go area.

Because I'm pretty sure I just saw his mood changed to anger.

Now that's what I want.

She finally released me and smiled and walked out.

I turned to James and smirked at him while he was there fuming.

I walked towards him and stared at him dead in the eye.

"Now, I don't know why the hell you are here and you might as hell mess with any girl of course but Serena is a no go area for you and if you do, I wouldn't hesitate to actually kill you this time. "

I walked out feeling somewhat accomplished that I finally established that piece of information in his thick ass skull.

JAMES' P.O.V.
"Now, I don't know why the hell you are here and you might as hell mess with any girl of course but Serena is a no go area for you and if you do, I wouldn't hesitate to actually kill you this time".

And he walks out.

Yes guys, my lovely brother just threatened to kill me, not beat me but kill me.

You are probably wondering when he ever made an attempt to kill me or how we are related.

Once upon a time, there lived a rich family named Montãna in Portugal who got married and they gave birth to three lovely children, the first child being my father, Antonio Montãna.

He, of course, inherited most of my grandfather's riches and now he's the richest man in Portugal and the fifth richest man in the world.

He, later, got married to a Venezuelan woman named Maria Buérta, who gave birth to a lovely son, Jordan Mõntana.

My dad being the man he is, after their marriage became too engrossed in his career and amassed wealth and in the process, cheated on his wife.

Twice.

Not long after, she found out and soon after filed for divorce because she wasn't ready to allow his rubbish even though he tried to lie saying he had to do it because of the business at hand.

Of course, that was a just stupid lie.

My father told me, himself, he didn't love her as much as he thought he did but didn't know how to tell her because she, honestly, had been the best wife and a very good mother to his child.

The woman he cheated on her with was my mother, Angelina Brussels. She was working in a very known company at that time and they were in serious competition with Antonio's company.

So he did it to get full advantage and be ahead of them.

When the company found out, they fired my mum and coincidentally, that same week, Antonio told my mum that he was in love with her.

Things went their way, and here I am.

So, in short, I am Jordan's half brother and yes we are the same age because Antonio cheated on Maria the same time, she was preparing for her baby, so Jordan's a few months older than me.

Yes, yes, we actually became close but something bad happened and I admit it was because of me but I don't regret it.

We just entered middle school and two seniors wanted my help in something, I wondered why but I was curious and I agreed to help them thinking it was because of homework since I was a nerd unlike Jordan.

Unfortunately, it wasn't. It was a drug business. I didn't realize until after two jobs I had done.

Till now, I didn't know how I involved my own brother and his friends in that kind of deep shit but I did and it was because we were just greedy for no damn reason.

And Jordan, in particular, was not in a good path with his father because of his attitudes and his past.

Skipping all the bad things that almost happened to us and the trouble that we got into, a job was giving to us but this drug was to be delivered to gangsters, that was when Jordan and his friends became scared because the job was becoming too dangerous.

He tried opting out but the guys never allowed and threatening to kill them if they report to anyone.

One day, Jordan decided he couldn't take it anymore and reported.

He was smart about it but the guys had spies and connections and they soon found out.

Because of the kind of people, they were, they decided to use a special person to do the job of ending him.

Me.

You would be wondering he is my brother, why would I agree?

But I had been brainwashed and I became the wicked guy I am today because of them.

I believed their made up story of Jordan planning to hurt me for inviting him and his friends into their mess and all I wanted to do was hurt him at least.

The day finally came.

And it happened, although I thought I had killed him but somehow, months later I found out he was rescued and he was on the search for me and he had promised himself that I will be the next person.

I wasn't scared of course because even before all this, while in the business, we started having differences and fighting a lot, sometimes for stupid reasons and others, for serious reasons, relating to how our father treated him and acted different around me.

Now the last question, why am I here?
Because I found out that my parents are the founders of this drug business and they want their first son back.

We would see how that happens.

Looking at it now, Jordan is tougher than I thought.

I leave the music room and head for the parking lot where I see Serena waiting for me.

God, I don't know how Jordan met her but she is the definition of beauty in so many ways.

I know I shouldn't be meddling with her but I wouldn't mind being a genuine friend to her asides the fact that I would love to get down with her.

Call me a player or pervert.

I give zero fucks about it.

I mean what normal boy would see all of that and resist.

Impossible.

I walk up to her since she didn't notice me.

"Hey, you ready?"

"Yh, let's go"

SERENA'S P.O.V.
He walk towards his car which definitely looks like Jordan's just the colour is different(neon).

I think I'm convinced enough to know that they are brothers.

I was sure about that and I wasn't going to change my mind at all. Not the least.

Few minutes later....
We had arrived at a restaurant and we ordered some burger, fries and chicken.
We also got milkshakes but his was chocolate with oreos and white chocolate ice cream while mine was strawberry with sprinkles, vanilla ice cream and a cherry on top.

We tasted each others milkshake and it was quite nice.

Really nice.

After talking for awhile about random stuff, varying from the school to the students to his hair, I decided I was finally going to pop the question.

"Ok, so are you finally going to admit that you are Jordan's brother?"

Surprisingly, he froze. Maybe he didn't want anyone to found out but that meant if noone was close to Jordan and I was so obviously I would find out.

He didn't speak for a few minutes, I'm guessing trying to analyze what I had just asked him.

"Its OK if you don't want to tell me but just know I already figured out so you don't need to hide around me".

He nodded in silence.

We finally finished our shakes and walked out of the restaurant.

Minutes later.....
We were in front of my house. Don't be scared, I obviously showed him the way.

I climbed out and he surprisingly hugged me and I hugged him.

No doubt, he wasn't that bad but I still had a slight feeling that there was something he was hiding just like the boys, maybe his past, who knows.

I walked into my house but I caught Jade and Chris kissing again while in front of a movie on the TV and all their gang was there including the boys.

I don't know what entered me but I knew all I could see was red. But I surprisingly acted calm.

I walked upstairs without them knowing and made sure to lock the door so none came disturbing me because I was definitely angry at all of them especially JADE AND JORDAN.

I decided to take a shower and change my hair colour against tomorrow, I couldn't believe that tomorrow was my birthday. I changed my hair colour to rose gold which is a mixture of pink and yellow. And it definitely looked nice on me, very different but nice. I realized I had to change my nails so I decided I would go now to change it so I could sleep since I was feeling tired.

I braided my hair into six cornrows so it would be very curly tommorow, tied my hair in a  pink bandana and wore a very baggy basketball shirt that had no sleeves(white and pink with Miami largely written on it) and black tracks and black crocs. 

I took my phone, my keys both for the door and my car and my money purse and I walked out of the door.

As I reached for the door, someone came to the door and I turned around to see who it was. Chris.

Why the fuck was he touching me?!

I gently took his hand off me and slightly pushed him away but he maintained his ground.

I look to see that everyone was staring at me.

"Please move out of my way."

But he didn't budge and that's when I became really angry.

I dropped my phone on the floor pretending like I wanted to hang out  with them but instead, I looked up at him and punched him straight in the face.

He stumbled to the floor and what shocked me was how Jade behaved. She ran to him and started shouting at me for doing that.

What was wrong with everyone. Tomorrow was my birthday and all this was happening.

But I remembered I was travelling to Brazil tomorrow so I knew I wouldn't tell them.

I glared at all of them especially Jordan and Jade.

"That's for killing my uncle and turning my family against me."

The next words I said stunned Jordan, William, Damien and Jade.

"At least, I know it was only my dad that ever cared or even loved me."

I stared at Jordan to see that he was about to cry but holding himself.

I slammed the door and ran into my car  and drove off immediately.

JORDAN'S P.O.V.
"That's for killing my uncle. At least, I know it was only my dad that ever cared or even loved me".

Those words broke me into pieces.
How could she believe that?

The only reason I was hanging out with Chris and his gang was because we needed help in setting up for her birthday party.

God, what have we done?

I turned to look at the boys and all I could see was pure sadness. They definitely had a right to be sad.

I mean her choice of words were just too harsh to be forgotten.

The way she punched Chris with all her energy.

God, I can't lose her. I love her too much.
I didn't even realize when I had started crying. All I knew was that Kim started comforting me.

She took me to the guest room. And I broke in front of her straight away.

I didn't want to do that. But I couldn't hold it in.

I don't even know what happened next. But the next thing I knew was I was kissing her.

And in the next 30 minutes, we had sex.

I definitely needed that cos I hadn't done it for sometime but I knew some thing was off about it.

And then, I remembered her touch, the way she called my name.

Fuck, what have I done?

I looked at Kim sleeping but it could never be the same with her.

She didn't look as peaceful as Rina.

She didn't have the colourful hair that Rina used to keep.

She definitely didn't have the body and not the skin tone.

I had just slept with Rina's former best friend and her enemy's sister after I told her I loved her.

Now I knew she was definitely not going to forgive me.

I decided to sleep away the grief.

I woke up later seeing she had already gone and it was only me in the house but I was sure I heard noise.

I walked downstairs to see two huge black cars outside but what stunned me was Rina following after two men who were carrying her luggage. Wait, was she leaving without telling us?

Thanks guys for keeping up with me. Love you all❤
