Chapter 9

Owen's POV

The night was winding down, I had Lilly embraced on the dance floor. She looked at me with those big baby blues and smiled as I kissed her for head. I couldn't help, but wonder where my brother had been. I had only seen him for a brief moment earlier in the evening. Maya had approached us, "sorry to bother you, but have you seen Miles?" she asked. "Not recently." Lilly said. "Last time I saw him he was talking to Tris…" I told Maya. Then it hit me! Miles, had been Tristan's first real boyfriend. My brother wouldn't try anything stupid… would he? I pondered that thought as Maya thanked us and walked away looking like she'd lost her puppy.

"Lil, when was the last time you saw Tris? " I asked. "It was early in the evening." she said.

"I've got to find him" I told Lilly as I took off down the hallway. My memory going back to the last time I walked these hallways looking for Tris. When Luke Baker thought it would be funny to lock the gay kid in a storage room. Tris just about missed starring in "Romeo and Jules ". As angry as I was about everything that was the first time Tris and I really connected as brothers. I was brought back into reality when I about ran smack into Maya. She had tears running down her face. I knew Miles had never really been faithful, to Tristen or Maya. I had no idea what to expect. I hoped that Tris knew better than to mess around with a married man, but Tris was still very immature and selfish.

"This seems familiar " Maya said. "Us searching the hallway together?" I replied and she nodded. I opened the door to the storage closet slowly and hit the lights. There they were with shirts off and embraced in a passionate kiss. "MILES!" Maya exclaimed as she ran out crying. "FUCK!" Miles screamed and took off after her. "Tris! What were you thinking! " I screamed! "I wasn't !" he said giggling fixing the buttons on his shirt. "You really think this is funny? He's married… Tris DAMN IT!" I yelled. "Whoa, calm down Owen… it was his idea. Plus, he left me for that Maya bitch so I consider this payback! " Tris laughted. "If you weren't my brother…" I shouted. "What you'd beat me up? Let everyone remember what a douche bag Owen Milligan was? " he scoffed. " You know what Tris, I don't even know who you are anymore!" I said as I walked away
