Speechless, I stared blankly at my father while trying to digest what I just heard
Nick! my big brother, how is that possible!…..I mean how will a guy who stole my first kiss be my big brother?
No it can’t be , it really can’t be. I screamed
Oh candy! My dad called trying to hold me but I shifted back
It is not possible Dad, there must be a kind of mix up somewhere. I fidgeted
he sighed
I understand how you feel but we all need to tackle this as a family
Understand! tackle! family! What are you even saying? I yelled
Please Calm down baby. my mum pleaded
I shifted my gaze to her, she was whimpering and trying so hard to control her tears
No mum! this is all bullshit, Nick can’t and Will never be my brother . I yelled
Please Candy, Just listen to what I say. My dad pleaded
I scoffed
You are asking for too much dad. I glared at him before stomping out of the sitting room……….

Sitting on the bed , I beat my chest as I wept uncontrollably
I tried to think but could not , I was so confused….
how did it get to this! how will I accept the fact that Nick is my big brother, he stole my first kiss and even tried to rape me
This will be so hard for me!
Oh Candy! What will you do now?
The door suddenly creaked opened and my mum walked in
Candy! She called while sitting beside me
I just want to be left alone. I frowned
And do you think that will be possible, do you think I will fold my hands and watch your hurt yourself?…. I understand how you feel but you just need to accept it, he is your brother and there is nothing you can do about it …
I shook my head negatively
No mom , I can’t accept him as my brother
is it because he stole your first kiss? She asked
I stared at her without uttering any word.
how will I tell her it is more than just the kiss, how will I tell her he almost defiled me!
You really need to forget about the kiss,you have to put it behind you . She advised
I am trying to but it is not that easy? I said
She sighed
I know baby, but always have it in mind that he did it without knowing you were his sister
Alright mum. I forced a smile
So how do we celebrate your successful duet record? She asked trying to cheer me up and that did the trick
Oh mother! I am really so excited. I beamed happily
Of course you should be , the duet has gone all viral
Yes mum , I am one step closer to becoming a celebrity.I wriggled my body in excitement
She smiled and pulled me into a hug
I am so proud of your baby. She whispered softly
Thanks mum………….

What do you mean by letting her go? Andy asked in a huff
he just got back from the mall and was surprised not to see the girl with me
I let her go and that is all. I replied calmly
And why will you do that , do you know the stress I went through just to get you the girl? he retorted
I sighed
I am sorry Andy but I couldn’t just do it
Why? I thought you had feelings for the girl. he probed on
Of course I do, and that is more reason why I couldn’t do it…… I mean how will I rape a girl I like?
he scoffed
You are really so pathetic! .. and that is why Chase will always be better …. he tried to say but i cut him off
Don’t ever compare me with my brother again. I warned
what! your brother! his eyes widened in surprise
Yes or do you have a problem with that?
What has come over you Nick?
I smirked
Do you really want to know? I asked and he nodded
Fine, I am sick and tired of you telling me what to do. I yelled
But Nick I am only trying to bring out the best in you
And look at where it has gotten me too, the very bottom
I am sorry Nick but if we ……. he tried to say but I shut him up
Get out of my house. I barked
What!! You can’t do this to me Nick . he pleaded
Get out before I call the security on you. I warned
he gave me a long look before storming out in anger ….
I watched him go and smirked
I should have done this a long time ago

Picking my car keys from the table, I headed to the garage
I got into my car and drove off heading to the Delgado’s mansion
I really need to right all the wrongs I have done, and I will start by apologising to Chase……
*
I soon got to the mansion , I honked the car horn and the gate was opened up by the security
I drove into the huge compound and parked in the garage
I alighted from the car and close the car doors
Good evening sir Nick! the security greeted
I nodded at him and headed to the sitting room
*
I met my dad and Chase’s mother in the sitting room
Hi! I greeted and they both looked at me
Son! my dad called gesturing me to come closer and I did
how are you? he asked standing up
I am fine dad.. erm I mean Mr Delgado … I stuttered and he smiled lightly
I am your Dad and will always be your Dad so don’t you ever forget that , is that clear?
I nodded and he pulled me into a hug
I love you Nick
I love you too dad….
I disengaging from the hug and walked over to Chase’s mother
I went down on my knees to ask for forgiveness
Mother! I called and she gave me a surprised look
I am so sorry for everything, I am sorry for taunting you, sorry for always mocking you , sorry for always calling you a maid, sorry for………. she pulled me into a hug to stop me from saying anything further
I held her tightly as I cried in her arms like a baby
She disengaged from the hug and wiped my tears
I am very sorry mother . I repeated and she nodded
And I can see someone is back to his old self . I heard a familiar voice say and I smiled knowing it was Chase ………..

Seeing Nick apologise to my mother made me heart melt
I smiled
I always knew Nick had a good heart but the kind of people he associates with changed him to a complete different person…
And I can see someone is back to his old self . I said and he turned to look at me
For how long have you been watching? he asked while getting up on his feet
Long enough to see your genuine tears
It is time to go to sleep. My dad pulled my mum up to her feet ,he flashed Nick a smile before climbing up the stairs with his wife beside him …….
I waited for them to be out of sight before facing Nick
So what made you have a change of mind? I asked
I am so sorry for everything I have done to you . he apologised
I stared at me for a while without uttering a word
I know it is hard for you to believe, but I am truly sorry for everything. I miss my little brother and I want him back …
I smiled lightly
You haven’t answered my question, what made you have a change of mind? I repeated
he smiled
Someone special to you made me realise I was the greedy one
I arched my eyebrow
Someone special to me ! And who is that?
It is Candy , she made me see you for who you really are…
Candy! how is that possible! how and where did you see her?I asked confusedly
I am really sorry Chase , but I had Andy bring her over to my mansion today
Why? I asked calmly
I erm eem er.. he stuttered
I said why did you do that? I yelled
I planned on raping her . he blurted out and i froze
hope it is not what I am thinking. I thought within
I am very sorry Chase, I am really sorry. he kept on apologising
Did you do it? I asked coldly
he shook his head negatively
Did you have any form of romance with her? I continued
No. he shook his head and i sighed in relief
You did the right thing bro! I patted his shoulders and he stared at me in surprise
Are you alright? he asked
Yes, why did you ask? I asked glancing at his wristwatch
I expected you to flare up immediately I told you about Candy but your reaction is so out of it
I smiled
Are you free for the night? I asked
Sure, Why did you ask?
I want us to go somewhere together, I want you to meet someone
And who is that? he gave me a curious look
Your father. I replied and he gasped in surprise….
