To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

We soon arrived home and I hastily existed his car. The rude back home had been tense, with me glaring at him as he loudly blasted his stupid music.

As we emptied the trunk of the car, I made sure to not get in his way because I didn’t want another argument to break out between us.

But, of course, somethings are just really inevitable, and in this case, is me getting into an argument with Mason, because it didn’t take long for us to mistakenly get into each other’s ways.

“Get the fuck out of my way, loser.” I snapped as I brushed past him.

“Oh look, it’s the dumbass blaming me when she literally just walked right into me, probably thinking I’m a freaking wall.” He snapped back and I snorted.

“You wish. I’d rather walk into a wall on purpose than do that to you.” I informed him.

“And I’d rather keep you at a really far distance from me, because you trip over fucking air, only to blame me for it at the end of the day.” He continued and I sighed before brushing past him and flipping him off.

Stupid asshole

He’s the most annoying human being I have come across and It was almost like he was created just so he can get on my nerves.

He aggravated me so much and made me get really angry at the slightest thing, making my blood boil all the time.

Once I was done with offloading my share of what I carried in from the car, I walked over to the fridge, picking a glass along the way in order to get myself a drink of water. I needed it to relieve myself of all the stress that I’d just been through from shopping and then arguing my head off with Mason.

“You’re chugging down water like you just got back from the desert,” My mother laughed as she looked through the bags to make sure I got everything right. “Why couldn’t you just get water at the store?” She asked and I dropped my glass and made to speak.

“Well, my supposed stepbrother.” I started and my mother let out a sigh as she looked at me.

“Ava?” She called.

“Fine, well, Mason threatened to leave me behind if I wasted any more of his time and so I didn’t really have much of a choice since I don’t have my own car and I didn’t want to have to go through the stress of hailing down a taxi.” I explained as I scanned the kitchen for the stool that was always there.

“Why? Why are you doing this to me?” I asked dramatically and my mother only opened her mouth, she staring at me in surprise.

“What do you mean?” She asked and I sat properly as I started to explain it all to her.

“That’s a million dollar question, mum. Why are you here watching your very precious daughter go through all she’s going through in the hands of that moron.” I said on a huff, searching my mother’s eyes for answers.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Because that moron is my husband’s son.” She answered and I gasped dramatically, I could see my mum trying to hold back her laugher since she knew I was only being dramatic right now.

“But, I am your daughter.” I pointed out like she didn’t know and she nodded.

“You see, Mason is now your brother, you know? He’s technically my child now. You’d both have to get along one way or another.” She explained but I cut her off.

“There’s no way I’m getting along with him.” I chirped in.

“That’s how siblings do, they get on your nerve, you wish you could kill them,” she started, and I wished in that moment that it was possible for me to actually kill Mason.

“That’s not news anymore because you will soon grow to love them, since you’re siblings. With Mason, I’m sure you both will get along soon. You guys just need to work things out at your own pace. Once you give each other a chance, I’m sure you’d both be obsessed with each other.” My mother explained and ended up rolling my eyes once she was done.

“You know what mum? Why not just let me move to the school dormitory or better still, I’ll move in with Nicole– at least till Mason moves off somewhere.” I sighed out after a few moments but I already knew she wasn’t even going to consider my request for a second.

“No. And No, is No,” she said firmly, “We are all a family now and we’ll have to live as one. No one goes off anywhere or tries to avoid anyone.” She answered and I groaned.

“Now c’mon, we have to make dinner.” She said and I reluctantly stood to join and help in preparing dinner.

Dinner preparation was going well until my mother decided to ask about Danny. I knew what she wanted to hear, what she wanted me to say but I’m not ready for that.

“How was your day with Danny, he drove you to school right? Did you enjoy the ride?” She asked and I let out a fond huff.

Of course I enjoyed it, he was a hundred times better than his good for nothing son.

“Oh yes, I enjoyed his company and he’s really sweet too. I could never have asked for a better man for you, he treats you like you’re his world and I love that so much for you.” I answered and a wide smile stretched out on my mother’s face in that moment.

“I’m really glad you like him this much, Ava. It makes me happy that you both get along so well, just like I do with Mason.” She explained and a scowl appeared on my face at the mention of Mason.

I told her more about the ride with Danny, about how we’ve both planned to start going out together soon as a means of bouncing.

It was obvious that mum was really excited about the new development between Danny and I, but then she just had to go ahead and ruin it by bringing up Mason once again

“It’s all for the best and soon I’m sure you and Mason will start bonding like this, and by then, you’d both be so obsessed with one another, it would be hard to separate you from each other.”

I think not. That’s never happening.

There’s no way I’ll ever be a little bit close to him, if anything, all I can think of, is ways to strangle the stupid asshole to death.

I wonder if he’d still be an asshole even after being dead.
