Chapter 18: Evan and Eric

🎸Ross🎸

"E-Evan is your brother? Y-You have a brother?," I ask, stammering.

"Evan is my older brother. After my dad died, he just couldn't take it. So, he found a girl and they started dating. Soon after, he proposed and they got married. When he called that day, I was happy because he never called in a long time. It was always me that was calling first so I got tired of it. 1 week after we fought, he said he wanted to meet me. I told him all about you and he saw Rose. He wanted to meet you. I told him about what happened and then he told me that I have to tell you. I've been waiting for you to talk to me since then." I stand there shocked.

"I'm really really sorry for jumping to conclusions. I should have listened to you."

"Damn right you should've." I slowly walk over to her and crash my lips against hers. I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me.

We pull apart and I lay my forehead against hers.

"I love you Chlobear."

"I love you too."

I lean in again and give her a quick kiss and then pull her in for a hug.

"I feel really stupid. I should've listened to your explanation instead of telling you that I hated you. Gosh Chloe, you have no idea how much I love you. I can't believe that I just walked out on you and Rose. I should've been here for you guys. I'm really sorry, love."

"Ross, Evan wants to meet you." I widen my eyes.

"I can't Chloe. What if he hates me?," I ask worried.

"Evan doesn't hate you. Just meet him please?," she gives me her puppy dog face.

"You are so lucky that I love you so much," I say teasingly.

"Shut up. Now come, we need to get ready."

I go into our closet and take out a green, black and white dress. I pair it with lace booties and black and silver earrings. I leave my hair down but add a little lip gloss and mascara to finish the look.

"Come on sexy." I turn around and playfully glare at him.

"Here is absolutely joint wrong with telling the truth," he winks. I roll my eyes and pick up Rose from the bed.

"Shall we leave now?" He nods and I follow him out of the room.

We drive to the restaurant that were meeting Evan at and park the car.

"Chlobear, I'm really scared."

"Ross, it's alright. Just think about, um. Like you're meeting your brother after a really really long time?," I suggest. He gives me a small smile and nods.

We walk inside the restaurant and then I spot him sitting in our corner table.

Our corner table.

He catches my eye and gives me a sad smile. I take Ross's hand in mine and make him follow him to the table. We sit down across from him.

"So, who's this Champ?" I almost smile at the nickname but stop myself.

"This is Ross and our baby Rose," I answer tryung to act cold.

"Chloe, I said I was sorry. I even apologized to Mom and she forgives me! What do you want me to do?," he asks frustratedly.

"Evan, you left me! You acted like Dad was only your father! Did you even think for a second what I was going through? And what I would I go through if you left me too? You didn't, did you?"

"Chlo-"

"Chloe, he's your brother. You can't stay mad him forever. I admit that he did something wrong and I probably shouldn't be interrupting you guys, but at the the end of the day he is your brother."

I look over at Ross and sigh.

"Okay fine. Evan, I'm sorry." He grins and looks over at Ross.

"Gosh man, I like you already and I didn't even talk to you." Ross shoulders relax a little and he smiles back.

"Thanks."

"So, how are you coping with my sister? Is she driving you crazy?"

"Very," Ross winks at me.

"Haha. I remember when she was small and she used to run around the house with a basketball that I got her. She broke 4 vases and my mom didn't let me hear the end of it. Our dad was wonderful. He, never acted like a dad. He acted like my best friend. I could talk to him about anything and everything. We bonded over the smallest things. We agreed on everything. When he died, I felt like I was the one that was affected the most. But what I forgot was that Chloe was even closer to him than I was. After I left them, I only realized 4 years later how stupid I was. I said that I couldn't go back because I thought my mom would hate me for what I did," he gives me a smile and my eyes start filling with tears.

"When Chloe told me that you left her after I called, I felt like it was all my fault. I didn't even see her yet and I was already ruining her life. I told her that I needed to see her and meet her. We met at the park and we talked and talked and talked. She told me about Dylan and our mom and I was happy and shocked at the same time. I didn't even go to the wedding, scared that my mom would kick me out," he sighs.

"Please don't hurt Chloe." Ross looks over at me with a small smile.

"I'll never hurt her."

We can rock it in the rain, Rock it in the beach, rock out in the darkWe're gonna rock it on repeat. Baby, baby you and me.

We can rock it on the street,Rock out in the dark,We don't gotta be discreet, Doesn't matter where we are,Baby, baby young and free.

Come on and Rock that Rock with me.

"Great job guys!," I say clapping.

"Did you like it?," Rocky asks.

"Of course! It was awesome!," I say excitedly.

They all smile at me and get up.

"So, how about we go out and celebrate for another amazing song?," Ryland suggests.

"YES!," I scream. They all look at me and I put my head down mumbling a 'sorry'.

"That's a great idea!" We all go to the front and I put on my black high tops that are paired with black shorts, black crop top and my pink 'SWEET' bracelet.

We all run to the car, trying to get to the seats the we want but Ross and I lag behind. We left Rose with my mom.

"Hurry up you lovebirds!," Rocky screams. I roll my eyes and pick up the pace.

Ross and I go in the back, alone. I lay my head on his chest and put my arms around his stomach.

"Gosh guys. Have you masturbated again in front of each other?" I start laughing and Ratliff just looks at us weirdly.

"they masturbated in front of each other?" I laugh even harder at his expression.

"You didn't hear the story Ratliff? Well, Chloe didn't get pregnant out of sex. They masturbated in front of each other and then Chloe got turned on." I tilt my head up to look at Ross and see that he has an amused sile on his face.

"We're here idiots!" We all laugh again and Riker and scramble out of the car.

We walk into a cute little diner and go and sit at their biggest table.

"Hi guys. I'm Nick and I'll be your waiter. What would you like to have?"

"I would like a burger with a large fries and a large coke," Riker says.

"I would like the same thing!," the rest of the guys said at the same time. They all look at each other and laugh.

"I'll have the fettuccine Alfredo," I say.

"Me too!," Rydel squeals.

"Alright, your order will take about 20 to 25 minutes." He walks away and we all start talking. Rydel and I start talking about Rose and Evan while the guys are flaking about a cricket match where LA won.

My phone rings and I pick it up.

"Missed me babe?" I widen my eyes.

"Eric?" Rydel hears me and snaps her head up.

"You got that right babe. I see you can't wait to see me?"

"In your fucking dreams."

"Babe, we all know that you miss me. But don't worry you'll be mine very soon."

He hangs up and I stare at the phone.

"Who was that Chloe?" I look at Ross and then at Rydel. She shakes he head while I fake clear my throat.

"Um, nothing." I throw my phone back in my bag and face Rydel.

"Come with me to the bathroom," she whispers. I nod and we both come out of the booth and head over to the bathroom.

"What happened?," she questions.

"He kept on calling me babe and he said that I will be his very soon." Rydel's eyes widen.

"Shit, you're going to have to someone with you at all times. Alright, make sure Ross is with you all the time. Whenever he needs to go to Austin and Ally rehearsals, you don't have to go with him. Just call me over and don't worry about my pregnancy. I'll be fine."

"Alright. Thanks Rydel," I smile and she gives me a hug.

"Anything for you Chloe." We walk out of the bathroom and everyone's eyes turns and looks at us. I avoid Ross, scared at if I look I won't be able to hold in the tears.

We sit down and our food comes and we all start eating. After we're done, Riker pays and we go back home.

"Chloe, follow me." I look up at Ross and he has a serious expression on his face.

We go upstairs into his old room and he closes and locks the door.

"Who was on the phone?," he asks.

"U-um, no one. Just Mom asking when we're coming to pick up Rose," I stammer.

"Really Chloe? Would you tell your mom 'in your fucking dreams'? No. So tell me who the fuck was on the phone." I flinch.

"It was Eric." His hands fold into fists.

"What did he say?"

"H-He said that I will be his one day."

"That son of an ass."

"Ross. It's fine. He's probably just saying that to get you worked up."

"Chloe, don't say that. What if something actually happens to you? What if I do actually lose you?" A tear slides down my face.

"Ross, it will be fine."

"Guys! We're going to watch a movie!"

Really really weird way to end a chapter, but I needed to say that I'm putting this book on hold. Sorry for those of you that liked it but I'll probably start again in about 2 or 3 weeks. Maybe even before that, but bye for now!
