Axel

I awoke with a frown as I realized that a certain five-foot-nothing girl was no longer lying next to me. Cringing at the brightness of the bedroom lights, I sat up and walked into the bathroom, hoping Freddi was there.

Finding that she wasn't, I figured she was just downstairs, probably cooking breakfast.

After I finished brushing my teeth and pulling on a pair of sweatpants I bolted down the stairs, eager to see my sexy little present.

"Do you think he knows?"

"Why would he? I never said anything, did you?"

The conversation between Freddi and Jack caused me to stop dead in my tracks. It could have been anyone else. Anyone. I would've just completely written off the conversation as them planning to get me a new motorcycle.

But Jack? My stepbrother Jack? Her ex who wanted to take advantage of her when she wasn't even close to being legal, Jack?

But Freddi? Little, tiny, Freddi who was a shy little virgin until I met her?

I was furious. It was Christmas day and I had just spent the entire night worshiping her body. She couldn't be cheating on me. She wouldn't. We love each other, right? And she definitely wouldn't cheat on me with Jack.

Right?

"Shhh, here he comes!"

"Good morning baby," Freddi said, sauntering over to me while Jack began pouring himself a bowl of cereal.

She was wearing one of my shirts with a pair of her sweatpants and had her hair in a messy bun that was larger than her head. That wasn't cheating attire, was it?

Freddi stood up on her toes and stretched her arms up to reach up around my neck before pecking my lips.

"Hey... what're you two talking about?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her and resting my hands on the small of her back.

"Nothing," she shrugged.

Nothing...

New Year's Eve

"Hey, it's two more days until our birthday. Got anything planned?" Freddi asked from her side of the closet.

There was a party going on downstairs and she and I were just getting ready. She was dressed in a black, sequin covered, sleeve dress that stuck to her body like a second skin.

It was backless and stopped in the middle of her thighs. It was designed to attract attention. Male attention. My attention.

Or Jack's.

"No," I grunted. I hadn't been in the best mood since Christmas day and Freddi has definitely noticed. She just didn't know why.

"I give up. Fuck it!" Freddi suddenly exclaimed, throwing down the pair of earrings she was trying to put on and stomping out of the room.

I rolled my eyes as I checked my watch, twenty minutes until twelve.

This would have never have happened if she would have just told me what they were talking about that night.

Unless she was cheating, which... again made it her fault!

Sighing, I pulled on my leather jacket and walked downstairs. Not bothering to look for Freddi, I went straight to the kitchen and poured myself a drink.

"Hey, Axel..." cooed a disgustingly sultry tone from behind me.

Annoyed at the world, I turned around and saw Savannah, sitting on the kitchen counter with her legs crossed, wearing a red dress similar to Freddi's.

"What?" I hissed, scrunching my nose in distaste, not caring for her presence. I specifically told Brittney and Tammi that she wasn't invited.

"Don't be like that. Where's your little plaything?" Savannah asked, pretending to look around me.

"She's minding her business. Like you should."

"Really, last I saw her, she was bawling her wittle bwue eyes out into Jack's shoulder," mocked Savannah, the permanent frown on her lips turning into an amused pout.

"What the hell do you want Savannah?" I croaked, squeezing my solo cup in my fist until the liquid spilled over my hand.

"Just letting you know, if she's too busy, you can always kiss me when the clock strikes twelve," she smirked as she hopped off of the counter, landing surprisingly steady on her death trap heels before walking out of the kitchen.

"Got to find Freddi," I muttered to myself, flinging my cup in the direction of someone's head.

. . .

"Hey, have you seen my girlfriend?" I asked the guy that was about to walk past me.

"No, man sorry."

"Have you seen Freddi?" I asked a girl who was leaning against the wall.

"Yeah she's over at the pool," she jerked her thumb in the direction of the back door.

I murmured a 'thanks' and rushed over to the door, shoving the few people who got in my way. When I finally opened the door, I found Freddi, sitting with her legs over the side of the pool, leaning her head on Jack's shoulder.

"Well, would you look at that? It's midnight!" A voice exclaimed right before a pair of collagen filled lips collided with mine.

My eyes widened in shock and I instantly pushed Savannah away by her arms. "Get it through your thick fucking skull! I don't fucking like you!"

"Axel..." a soft voice called my attention. I looked away from Savannah and found Freddi staring at me with tears in her eyes. It was evident that she had only seen the interaction and not heard my words.

"What's going on?" Glossy blue eyes looked between Savannah and I.

"You little bitch!" Savannah yelled, lunging at Freddi and pushing her into the pool, kneeling at the edge and using both her hands to push Freddi underwater.

Jack let out a girly scream before grabbing Savannah by the waist and pulling her away, allowing me to drag Freddi out of the pool.

She spluttered, coughing up the water as soon as I laid her on her back. "Hey... hey, you're o—"

"Get the fuck away from me," Freddi said in a hoarse voice, stumbling up on her bare feet.

"Freddi I—"

"You kissed that silicone bitch. Is that why you haven't even touched me since Christmas?" Freddi whispered, causing me to freeze.

I'd been so caught up in my own anger and fear of Freddi cheating on me that I hadn't noticed how I must have ignored her.

"I thought you... with Jack—" I fumbled with the words, suddenly unable to speak all of the thoughts that had been running through my mind for the past six days.

"I wouldn't do that bro," Jack called, still holding a thrashing Savannah. "I told you I gave up on that. You two are happy ."

"I think I'll sleep in my old room tonight," Freddi croaked, wiping tears from her eyes.
