Austin's POV

"Why did you invite Cassidy over?" I asked walking into the house with Dylan. He walked into the kitchen ignoring my question. I growled and threw my bad to the side following him. "Answer me." I snapped at him.

He turned around biting into an apple. "She's my girlfriend Austin and I think she deserves to meet my parents."

I cocked an eyebrow, "Who the heck brought up the thought of meeting our parents first?" I asked obviously annoyed. I strongly started to dislike Cassidy when I found out Dylan got her pregnant, I couldn't look at her the same anymore. Now all I see is a bitch with a slutty personality.

"Cassidy." Dylan said simply sipping on a bottle of water.

"Why are you really dating her?" I asked trying to get an actual answer out of him. He sat the bottle down on the table, "Don't ask me that ever again." He snapped before walking away. Right then and there I knew there was something up. Suddenly I heard the door bell ring and I walked over to open it. "Hey mom here let me help." I said grabbing some of the grocery bags out of her hand. "Thanks sweetheart, you're oddly happy right now is there something I should know about?" She asked as we walked into the kitchen.

I sat some of the groceries on the island and hopped onto the counter. "No reason I was just wondering if you knew about Dylan's girlfriend coming over later tonight?" I asked trying to get Dylan in a little bit of trouble. Hopefully some conflict can erupt out of this situation.

"Ah yes Cassidy I know she's coming over that's why I have tons of groceries for tonight silly!" She laughed and started to put some dishes away. "Well what about Ally?" I asked. She sighed and looked at me, "I was very upset that they had a disagreement between each other. I love Allison she's such a sweetheart. I hope Cassidy's just like her in a way." She enthused happily.

Well mom you're in for a treat tonight.

"Well she's not." I snapped.

Mom groaned, "You say that about every girl Dylan dates honey." She stated as she started to get a bowl out. I laughed, "Uh, no I don't mother."

"You lie too much Austin go get cleaned up you need to look nice for the girl." She said with a sharp smile. I rolled my eyes and she slapped my shoulder, "Seriously? Go get cleaned up now don't be such a grudge." She snapped.

I groaned and ran upstairs. I peeked into Dylan's room only to see him pull on his shirt. I stepped inside locking the door. "Austin if you're here to convict me you can get your sorry ass out of my room this instant." Dylan said coldly.

I smirked loving how I could piss him off that easily.

"Do you ever enjoy my presence?" I asked crossing my arms. "Yeah when we're in the same building breathing each other's air except we're in different classes 5 days a week."

"You think you're so popular and smart don't you Dylan tell me what you think about yourself cause it sure as hell isn't going to be your perfect angel speech." I yelled at him getting a bit angry. "God Austin go fuck off for crying out loud!" He yelled right back.

I smirked once again. "You're lying to our parents Dylan how long do you think you can keep up this 'I'm a perfectionist' crap? When mom and dad find out you got Cassidy pregnant they'll kick you out! No screw that they'll fucking kill you!"

"Shut up Austin I'm not perfect ok I made a fucking mistake!" His eyes went wide and covered his hand with his mouth. "T-that's not what I meant I-"

I went over and grabbed his shirt gripping it with all the strength I could muster, "Look here Dylan don't you ever say a baby is a mistake ever, Cassidy didn't ask to get pregnant you did, you better clean up your freaking act and straighten up because Cassidy is going to need you no matter what and even though I hate her with a strong passion she's the mother of your baby!" I yelled. I couldn't believe what I had just said but I couldn't help it.

My father was just like what Dylan was. He had his whole life a head of him and then I come along and ruin his future. I knew what it felt like to be abandoned and I wasn't going to let that happen to Cassidy no matter how difficult the situation was or is.

I quickly pushed Dylan away feeling the tears sting my eyes.

I scoffed and walked out of the room leaving Dylan to himself. I was too pissed with him to even be mean this was exceeding my level of meanness. I slammed my door shut and jumped on my bed.

I was still mad at Cassidy, she's up to something I just knew it. She may be carrying my brothers baby but she's got some evil shit planned out and I'm not afraid to find out what it is.

Ring ring ring!

I grabbed my phone and answered it, "Yes?" I asked annoyed.

"Well hello to you too Austin." Ally said with sarcastic shock. I smiled and sat up in my bed. "Hi Ally what do you need?" I asked. I was surprised by sudden change of mood. "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me today my dad's gone once I again might I add and by thanking you for letting me go to the masquerade ball I thought you might want to ya know go out to eat my treat." She enthused.

I could listen to her voice all day...

What the...?

"Thanks but I can't I have to stay for dinner since Cassidy's coming over remember?" I said sighing. I heard her scoff and I could just sense her eye roll. Classic Ally Dawson for you right there.

"Well that's okay maybe tomorrow if you're up for it?" She asked.

"I'll see what I can do." I said with a smile. Honestly I was happy Ally wanted to hang out with me. Most girls just ask me out to get a piece of me but Ally's different I like different.

"Austin! Cassidy's here come downstairs!" I heard my mom yell.

"Sorry Ally I gotta go I'll see you at school tomorrow." I said before hanging up quickly. "I'm coming!" I yelled back. I pulled on a tank top with a yellow collared shirt. I only buttoned it halfway, I liked how my tank showed.

I slid out of my jeans and traded them for a pair of tan khaki's and some polo shoes. It was a cool look, don't know why I never where stuff like this at school. But it wasn't like I was trying to impress Cassidy because I could care less about her opinion on me. I combed my hair and sprayed on some cologne...

What? A guy can't smell nice? Sheesh..

I quickly ran downstairs only to hear Cassidy's laugh all the way from the living room. God she's so cheesy.

I walked into the living room and once I saw Dylan and Cassidy I forced myself to put on a fake smile. "Hi Austin." Cassidy said with a smile. I could tell it was fake but I wouldn't dare let it get to me. "Hi Cassidy.." I said slowly.

"So Austin, Cassidy's an A honor roll student and she's a sophomore you should be more like her!" My mother teased but I just glared simply annoyed with them all. They all bother me in a way even my mother sometimes.

"Mother if I've told you this once I will tell you this again, D's are a passing a grade!" I argued. Everyone erupted into laughter, I pouted my lips and crossed my arms. "I'm going to fix the dinner table excuse me." I mumbled through gritted teeth.

I got up and walked into the kitchen. I started cleaning off the dinner table and sat plate's on the table along with forks, knives, -in case I need to slit anyone's throat- and some napkins. I stepped back checking it out. It looked pretty neat.

Suddenly I heard the front door open.

"Hi honey how was work?" I heard mom say as everyone started piling into the kitchen.

"It was great, I got a promotion as head manager so I think I had a great day and the best part is coming home to this wonderful family." He pronounced. "Awe honey." Mom cooed and kissed his cheek.

I made a gagging noise and someone slapped my shoulder. "Austin lighten up will you?" Meeghan snapped. I glared at her but she just took a seat. Where the heck did she come from? "Ok," Mom said clapping her hands together, "Let's eat!" She grabbed a couple plates from the table and started to fill their plates with spaghetti.

"Cassidy dear would you like some salad?" She asked setting down Cassidy's plate. I don't get it? How could my own mom not sense the evil in that girl? I mean look at her? All she needs is a tattoo!

Cassidy nodded and then looked at me smirking. I rolled my eyes and made my plate quickly. I took a seat next to Meeghan and smiled as she kept giggling. She was probably texting Jason her so called soul mate god girls are so... what's the word? Delusional? Soul mate? What a bunch of bull.

"Austin aren't you going to eat?" Derek asked as he sipped on his beer.

I nodded and twirled my spaghetti intently watching Dylan and Cassidy. I could see the smug smile on his lips. "So Cassidy you and Dylan how long have you guys been together?" Meeghan asked finally drawing her eyes away from her iPhone for once.

"Oh um," She looked over at Dylan with a worried face and I knew Meeghan caught them in the silly act. Yeah Meeghan! "We've been dating for a two weeks I know what you're thinking, how can you fall head over hills for someone in two weeks but Dylan is definitely an exception." She said with awe.

I clenched my fist in anger.

"Honey your fist..." Mom said suddenly. I looked down to see that my hand was turning red. I smiled weakly and went back to eating my spaghetti in silence. "Well that's amazing Cassidy I remember my first love at first sight..." Meeghan cooed dreamily.

"Oh no not this crap again." I snapped annoyed. Meeghan slapped my shoulder and I glared at her coldly. Cassidy cleared her throat, "Excuse me I need to go to the bathroom."

"Oh of course the bathroom is upstairs to the right of Austin's room, the bathroom down here is under reconstruction. " Mom said smiling. She got up and headed upstairs. God finally some air to breath. "Well mom Derek I don't like her." I said easily.

Everyone looked at me like I was a deer in headlights. I sipped on my drink trying to ignore their intense stares. "What?" I asked confused. "How could you not like her she hasn't hurt you in anyway!" Meeghan complained. I could feel Dylan's cold stare on me and I just smirked at him.

"Honesty is my best value mom and trust me you don't know her." I said looking straight at Dylan. I knew I was torturing him and that only fueled me for even more torture. I rolled my eyes, "I'll be back." I said getting up from the table. Dylan slammed his fist on the table and went outside, obviously because he was getting annoyed, which I enjoyed very much.

I walked up the stairs and pass my room. The bathroom door was open...

What the...?

I growled and stepped backwards slowly, "I thought I left my door open..?" I asked myself aloud.

Yet it was closed... why that little bitch.

I opened my door and saw Cassidy snooping through my drawers. "What the fuck Cassidy?" I yelled.

She turned around holding up the mask I wore the other night. "Oh my Austin what are you doing with this dear mask hmm?" Cassidy teased swinging it from her index finger. "Cassidy put it down and walk away now." I threatened slowly. I was trying to choose my words carefully.

"I don't think so Austin, I could have sworn I saw this mask kissing someone at the dance." She said with a smirk. "Cassidy please.." I begged. She shook her head, "Who is it and maybe I'll show you some mercy."

"I'm not telling you who I kissed, that's my personal business." I snapped at her. "I wouldn't test me Austin." She said carefully. I could hear the envy in her voice but it was masked by pure venom.

I sighed, "God Cass it was fucking Ally Dawson ok?" I said grabbing the mask. "And what did you do with her the night of the masquerade?" She asked. "I kissed her is that such a crime Cassidy?!" I yelled.

She smiled and walked away. I grabbed her wrist pulling her back, "Mhmm Austin being a little grabby today aren't we?" She teased seductively. She pushed me back against a wall. "D-don't you want me to Austin? Face it you're just another one of those guys that give into sex." She kissed my neck and I groaned softly feeling her body press against mine. "Cass..." I moaned as she kicked the door shut and locked it.

She grabbed my face kissing my lips.

N-no this is wrong on so many levels, I like Ally Dawson. But... but why the hell would she like someone like me? I'm the trouble maker of the school, she wouldn't even give me a chance if I begged her to. That was what made me angry, I knew she still had some feelings for Dylan, and she only see's me as a friend. I'm a senior and she's some sophomore for crying out loud.

I was so mad about it all. That she didn't want me, she only saw me as some friend, and Dylan got to feel her, kiss her, love her, cherish her and what am I? I'm some friend.

Clustering my anger, I forgot Ally, and grabbed Cassidy's waist pushing her on the bed as I got on top of her. She smiled and hooked her arms around my neck. I kissed her hard, feeling hot tears fall down my cheek, I couldn't help myself. I wanted Ally to be mine and if I can't have her than I don't deserve her.

I kissed her neck and as she arched her back.

I unbuttoned my shirt and pulled off my tank, knowing that I was making out with my step brothers girlfriend was a huge turn on and I couldn't stop myself now. I was made to be a player, not have a soft spot for people. I'm Austin fucking Moon and I won't be tied down to some girl who I don't even have a chance with.

She giggled and traced my stomach making me shiver as I pulled off her shirt. She was wearing a black lacy bra, I was considered lucky to get a girl like this I bet Ally didn't have a bra as sexy as this. I know my sudden mood towards Ally is no longer nice but I'm angry and I can take my anger out on Cassidy. "G-god Austin..." She moaned as I reached back to unsnap her bra. But just as I was about to the door handle jiggled.

"Fuck." I cursed.

"Who is it?" Cassidy asked grabbing her shirt. "It's me Meeghan what's going on in there?" She asked worried. I pulled on my tank and ran my fingers through my hair, "I'm just talking to Cassidy didn't want Dylan barging in!" I yelled back. I heard her sigh and the sound of her feet walk away.

She grabbed my face and kissed me hard. I could feel her tongue enter my mouth and I let her as our tongue's battled for dominance. "I'm so much better than Ally baby.." She said pulling back. I smirked and pulled on my yellow collared shirt as she pulled on her purple top.

She bent over and kissed my cheek before walking out of the room.

I don't know what the hell happened but I instantly regretted it... and after all my anger for Ally, I still found her to be better than Cassidy.
