Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 42

I did not know how to express myself, but one thing I never got confused about was the fact that I always needed him in my life, not just for a day or for a week, but for the rest of my life, he was that one friend. I could not lose.

staring at him walking away broke me and shattered me into pieces. I wouldn’t want to see him walk away from me; that would be more like a nightmare. He was still the best person in the world. I decided to brace myself up even though Jaxon hated him and stopped him from leaving. He was still that one person. I could never leave just as he held the door handle and opened it. I stopped him with my voice. "You are still one of the main people who matter in my life".

I knew he was hurt because I picked Jaxon’s suggestion. I remember he told me to cut the hair earlier, but seeing how I had expressed myself, he immediately decided to find a solution.

He never told me about his interaction with the doctor, which was why I was confused, and now Jaxon told me the same thing. Of course, I was going to accept it. He quickly covered the fake smile with a more genuine one, but I could still see through him. That was one thing he could never cover up from me.

I tried to walk towards him, but Jaxon held my hands tightly. "You should not walk away like that." I pleaded with him.

"You cannot live so easily. You are the only person who cares about you and matters to me. You cannot just walk away so easily", I added just as he was about to walk away and he stopped.

He turned to Jaxon, who was still holding tightly to my hands, and then he walked towards me. At first, he stared at me for some seconds, but then his attention returned to Jaxon. I knew his full attention would still be on Jaxon and nothing else.

"It is over five days, and he is your stepbrother. He was meant to be with you when your mom and dad went on vacation. I did not even understand how you make him still be your brother," Tim said to me.

I turned my head to Jaxon, and he seemed a bit angry, but at the same time, his expression was unreadable. He let go of my hand slowly.

Yes, I was happy that Jaxon had returned, but he still had not told me what exactly happened, why he had left for all these days, and Why he never replied to my multiple messages.

I felt like he went on a vacation for himself and then returned anytime he wanted because he did not seem like he returned in panic because of what happened to me. He might have cared so much, but that did not mean he returned because he wanted to, but because he knew he had to, or else his father would not take it easy on him.

"Anything I say will be used against me by Timothy. As you can see, I am not allowed to say too much." Jaxon said, trying to play the sympathy card on me, but it would not easily work.

I knew I had always trusted Jaxon, and if I said this word, he would see that I did not trust him anymore, but I just had to say it. I could not keep it in too much or any longer. He stared at me in confusion, as he did not want me to ask him that question, but I had no choice.

I wanted to know if he needed to explain that I was the first person, which was the first thing he was meant to have explained to me.

I gave my full attention to him as I kept a deep frown on my face to show how angry I was. "You still need to tell me where you have been for five to six days; I did not see you vanish. I thought something had happened to you. I could clearly remember how worried I was; only the worry alone could make me so worried to death". I exclaimed in annoyance while holding in my emotion but, He seemed not moved by what I had just said, and I decided to pour out all my emotions.

All the truth I was hiding in, I decided I would use it all on him;

"you’d think it was easy. I called you continuously, day and night. I messaged you, you should check your phone and know the kind of messages you got for me, but you never even glanced at the messages to answer me. I cried. I could not do anything; I could not eat. I was worried about you" I sobbed.

But what shattered me into pieces again was despite the amount of emotions I poured out, it still did not move more than one bit of his

Emotions. He did not even seem to be moved at all.

I could not explain the kind of pain I felt at the thought that Jaxon did not even care. Tim made some sounds as he walked towards me, but I pushed him back.

"Jaxon, you have to tell me where you have been? I was so worried about you, and this was how you could just repay me. Yes, you cared about me, and you came to the hospital, but aside from that, you have not done anything. Did even ask me how everything had gone wrong. I was standing up for you, and that was how Maya did this to me". He seemed to be a little shaken but was holding it in. He stepped forward and tried to hold me, but I shifted back so he would not touch me, for I felt a bit disgusted. I cannot believe it.
