💥

Finally I told Kyle about Grace. He was nagging me for a month so I told him. The real problem was I didn't even know who she was or if she was real. Sometimes I felt like it was just a story granny made up but maybe it was true. Who knew? Kyle looked interested when I told him and he read the things I wrote in the diary.

"So how he earned Grace's trust?" Kyle asked.

"He asked his science teacher to make them partners in a project so that she had no choice but to talk to him. She was difficult to understand as her guard was always up but he managed through it."

"

Third person's P.O.V

It was their fifth meeting since the project started and Grace realized that Aiden wasn't the guy what he showed to others. He would be happy with small things and always tried to help others. But somewhere in her mind she still had doubts.

On the other hand, Aiden was doing everything to get under her skin. Whenever Martina or Conner talked ill about her, he was enraged because he understood one thing that Grace was nothing as they portrayed. She was a sweet, innocent girl who never talked to anyone and took care of Nick like he was her real brother.

"I should go. It's late." Grace stated as she stood up from her seat.

"Let me drop you." Aiden said but she shook her head not wanting to bother him,

"Nah! I'll be fine. Don't worry."

"But..."

"I'll be fine." It was foreign for her to find someone worrying about her.

"At least let me walk you out." he said and they started descending stairs side by side.

"Why don't you have car? Conner and Martina have their own." Aiden stated but Grace smiled sadly.

She was contemplating with herself whether she should open up or not but then spoke,

"I'm not their real sister. My dad doesn't really care about me and he has told everyone not to help me in any way. So no car, no phone, nothing." She shrugged like it was normal but Aiden felt angry. He couldn't understand how they can be so cruel to her.

"Do they treat you right?"

"If it includes not talking to me at all then yes, they do." She sent him a sad smile and then stopped in front of him.

"Don't worry. I am immune to it." She chuckled and then stepped back adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder.

"Bye. Good night." And she walked away. Aiden closed his eyes tightly.

What was he doing? He was going to hurt someone who was already suffering from so many things but still stayed strong. For the first time since the bet started, he felt guilty and decided to call off the bet.

After two weeks or so, they submitted the project for which their teacher was really happy. They both aced it. In this time, they became really good friends. Grace started trusting him and told him everything. Even Aiden adored Grace as he always found her cute. His friends thought that he was making a pot of progress not knowing that Aiden actually started liking the sweet, innocent girl.

"What happened later?" Kyle closed the diary and asked.

"I'll tell you when I'll write it down." I chuckled.

"Oh come on, Danny! Tell me." he whined but I shook my head.

"I'll tickle you if you don't." he threatened and before I could say anything, he was tickling me like crazy.

I fell back on my bed laughing loudly.

"Tell me, now."

"No!" I said laughing and squirming under him. But he locked my hands above my head and that's when everything stopped. Slowly he started leaning towards me but door opened causing us to jump away from each other.

There stood Drake with a big scowl on his face as he glared at Kyle.

"Get out." he suddenly yelled.

"What? No." I yelled and went to stand in front of Kyle in protective manner even after knowing my brother will easily pick me up and put me aside.

"What the fuck were you doing with him?" Drake yelled.

"Nothing, it was just a heat of the moment." I said exasperatedly.

"No, it wasn't." Kyle muttered from behind me and my eyes widened.

Turing towards him, I raised my brow. He just shrugged. He looked over at Drake and said,

"I like her. I like your sister."

My mouth fell open but everything happened so fast that I was pushed aside and now Damien was sitting on Kyle's chest, trying to hit him in his face.

Where the hell he came from?

Drake was frozen in his place as he just stared at them.

"How dare you say that? She is our little sister." Damien yelled at Kyle.

"Not my sister." Kyle muttered not so silently. I nearly slapped my forehead.

The guy didn't know when to keep his mouth shut.

"What is happening here?" Dawson, my sane brother entered at perfect timing and pulled Damien away from Kyle.

"The bastard says that he likes our sister." Dam yelled resulting in Dawson glaring at Kyle who looked like he had no care for the world. I covered my face with my hands sitting back on bed.

"You are going to stay away from my sister from now onwards." Dawson said in final voice. Kyle suddenly looked furious and even I opposed.

"You can't do that, Dawson." I yelled.

"Yes I can and I ll. You don't know who he is." Dawson glared at me.

my eyebrows furrowed as I looked at him.
"What are you talking about?"

"You should leave Kyle." Dawson said.

Kyle glared at him but then came towards me. His hands cupped my cheeks and my heart accelerated. The guy definitely had a death wish.

"Trust me. Just trust me. I'll see you tomorrow." He kissed my forehead and left.

I was so shocked with whatever happened. I looked at Dawson who left without a word followed by Drake and Damien.

What just happened? Yes, I liked Kyle. After knowing him for more than two months, I found his other side which he showed to the people who cared about him, more appealing and that's why I started liking him but my brothers were against it. What was I supposed to do now?

They didn't talk to me for two days. Stupid people. Dawson was firm on his decision like he knew something that nobody knew but he wouldn't even tell me.

I had no intention to go to school next day but triplets would never listen to me, no matter what happen. I closed my eyes but I couldn't sleep. It was 1 am in the night so I woke up and went to window looking outside. My gaze travelled to the sky and something tugged in my heart.

"Hey mom-dad, I miss you."

A tear rolled down my eye. Wiping it of my face, I looked ahead but my breath hitched when I saw someone standing there. A black car and a back hoodie. I could never make mistake in recognizing him.

he was here! Oh god! He was here. Damon was back. I took few steps back as our eyes met and then I was running out of my room like crazy.

I opened Dawson's room with loud bang. He jolted up on his bed looking at me with worried expressions on his face.

"Danny?" he opened his arms and I jumped in it hugging him tightly.

"He is back, I saw him. He was standing outside on the streets. Dawson, he is here." Tears were rolling down my eyes as he hugged me tightly.

"Shhh! It's okay. I'm here." He rubbed my back but it was too much. Why was he here after all these years? Drake and Damien entered the room looking around frantically.

"Dan, what happened, baby? Why are you crying?" Drake sat beside us and moved his hand through my hair.

Maybe Dawson said something because then they didn't question me after that. We just sat there for some time and I ended up falling asleep in my brother's arms.
