Giving Up on Not Giving Up Chapter Five

Niko's POV

"What do you mean Zack?" I ask in a low voice. My

heart to the floor not sure if I'm breathing much less living.

He steps up to kiss me.

Everything in my body moves.

But I stay still. Don't kiss him back.

He looks me in my eyes. In my soul.

But turns around and leaves.

Storm's POV

I come to a quiet peaceful home. Which is exceedingly new.

"KIDS

GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE," I yell to let the noise echo through the house.

"Your mom has an announcement," Tokyo says entering the house

Everyone

races down the stairs, "where's Drake?" Joshie asks with a deadpanned

expression, "and Niko?" shit. I say to myself.

"She's asleep," Zack mumbles, "Drake left," he adds with a dark

expression.

"I'm here," Niko comes from downstairs to hug Tokyo.

"Where's my hug?" Joshua asks Niko opening his arms right out.

Niko glares at him, "you don't need a hug," she mutters.

Joshie frowns, "kid I always need a hug," he reaches into hugs her.

She

laughs and squirms away to Zack, hugging him tightly.

Niko's POV

I don't need someone telling me my emotions are fucked up.

"We needa talk,'’ I whisper gently into Zacks's ear as he nods.

"What's the surprise?" Riley asks with his eyebrows furrowed.

If it's Riley that's hot, Zack's words fill into

my head.

“Josh is running for president!” mom and my dad exclaim.

“Well if that’s it I’m gonna go now,” I say grabbing Zack’s hand and leading him upstairs.

“Yes?” he asks

“I broke up with Drake,” I mutter now know why I was doing this.

“Why?”

“Why not?” I reply without missing a beat

He comes closer to me examining my caramel features, “Why?” he asks in a low voice again.

“ Cause,” I start, “ he isn’t you or Riley,” I mutter.

“Thank God,” he exclaims, “I thought I misread the situation when I kissed you,”

“I thought you were drunk,” I say sheepishly

“Only you would,” he replies pulling me closer.

“What do I do about Riley?” I ask him

“Imma beat his ass in here,” he tells me with a smirk, “then we’ll have a little fun even if Riley says no,” he winks at me and walks out the room.

I sit down on the edge of my bed playing with the hem of my shirt. Zack comes back into the room dragging Riley by the collar.

School doesn’t even prepare you for this shit. Then again, this shit isn’t supposed to be happening.

Riley smirks, “I’ve been informed of everything,” he kisses me gently, “Thought this day would never come,” he mumbled in my ear.

I kiss him back eagerly, then repeat with Zack.

Riley’s POV

I wake up to shuffling in the bed, I open my eyes to see Niko trying to climb out of the bed.

“Stay,” I mumble wrapping my arm around her waist and pull the blanket to her bare chest.

She buries her face in my neck and wraps her legs around my waist.

“Love you,” she whispers in my ear

“Love you back,” I kiss her head.

“Aren’t you guys adorable?” Zack mutters as Niko climbs up top of him and showers him with kisses.

“We have to figure this…thing out,” Niko says getting her clothes back on.

“Why?” I ask as I start to make the bed, “You’re hot and you are damn hot,” I say, “let’s just be together,” I shrug

“Well we are half-siblings,” she glares at me

“Thought the glaring would go away,”

“Think again,” she says putting her curly hair into a bun.

“How do I look?” she asks.

School.

“Hair down with a beanie,” Zack replies, “love you,” he adds.

she stuffs the beanie over her curls, “love you too,” he adds.

"And while you guys stormed up into the bedroom," I say, "Tokyo, dad, and mom made a new announcement," Zack puts some cologne on and motions for me to continue.

"They adopted a kid," I say, "Named Harper I think she's a she, and she is in our grade," I finish.

"How wonderful," Niko mumbles.

We hear a knock on the door.

"Speaking of the devil," Niko says.
