Something About Him

Chapter 19: A lie never felt so true

"Oh is that so? Then what are you doing here" He snapped back making my nose flare in anger.

"Seriously, Chase, get the hell out of my room this instance" I said without getting out of my warm, comfortable duvet.

"First I want some answers..." He paused before grabbing and pulling the duvet off my face harshly.

Seriously! Why did God even make the concept of little brothers.

"What fucking answers?" I asked.

"Who is he?" He asked as I frowned in confusion.

"Who is who? James Bond" I asked sarcastically.

"Damien" He replied shortly, folding his hands over his chest.

Oh. How does he know that name?

"Did dad tell you something?" I asked suspiciously.

"No. Why? Is there something that I should know?" He asked back as I mentally sighed in relief because Chase being a protective brother is the last thing that I need or maybe not even the last thing that I need.

"No, there isn't. Anyways, why are you interrogating me all of a sudden? And where did this name even came from?" I asked trying my best to portrait as if I didn't know any Damien at all because as I said earlier I don't want Chase going all 'protective brother' over this thing, in fact there is 'no thing' to even begin with.

Oh no! Please don't tell me he heard some gossip in the school. Or worse, directly from Stella, because I'm not sure what lies that bitch would feed him.

It's a surprise though that he still hasn't found out a thing about the gossip that was going on in the school about Damien and I a while back after the viral pictures incident.

But maybe that's because he is too engrossed in his own life and then again he doesn't ever pay any attention to any of the gossip that goes around in the school, basically he doesn't gets involved in high school teen drama.

Sometimes I can't help but wonder that how he's so different from Austin, in so many ways...like take the last few incidents of my life for that matter, if Austin and I went to the same school right now, he, by default, would have known each and every single thing by now.

And don't even get me started on the gossip about Damien and I, I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought.

Even though it was just a gossip and there's nothing going on between us, but yet Austin would have confronted Damien by now and warned him to stay away from his little sister.

That's how he is...or rather should I say was...he was that kinda of responsible and protective big brother.

Chase on the other hand, well, he is different. He is too engrossed in his own life to know what's going on around him...I guess he's just too childish but I'm not blaming him or anything.

But you sure are comparing your one brother to another, my subconscious said.

Maybe I'm.

Or maybe I just miss Austin.

"Mum send me to wake you up, and here you were mumbling this name in your sleep" Chase replied, snapping me out of my thoughts once again. 

"Oh. Was I?" I asked almost horrified.

"Yeah you were and that's where this name came from" He replied.

"Now will you tell me, who is this Damien guy?" He asked.

"Whoever he is, Chase, it's none of your concern" I snapped, almost as if dismissing him, having had enough conversation with him to even last for a lifetime.
