My Bully Is Also My Step-Brother
7: Hes a liar
Ajax managed to get all the items from the grocery story and walk back within an hour
Ajax (MC)
💭Ugh, these bags are heavier than I thought they would be 😩 at least I’m almost there!
He finally arrives, but once he opens the front door and enters, he notices that his mother looks upset.
Annabelle
(*crossed arms, tapping her foot*)
Ajax (MC)
(*puts the bags down*) Mom? Is everything okay?
Annabelle
(*sighs*) No, it’s not Ajax. You shouldn’t treat your stepbrother that way
Ajax (MC)
(*confused*) Huh? What are you talking about?
Ajax had no idea what was going on, but then he suddenly noticed how Anthony made his way into the room with a specious look on his face
Anthony
(*hesitates*) I…I wasn’t going to tell her but…but she noticed that I came back alone. I didn’t want to lie to her
Ajax (MC)
(*frustrated*) Tell her what?!
Annabelle
Why did you have to say such mean things to your stepbrother? Especially when he was being so kind and offered to drive you there?
Ajax (MC)
What? But I didn’t say anything to him! He kicked me out of the car!
Anthony
That’s not what happened ma’am. He kept yelling at me and said such mean things so I suggested we had sometime apart. He didn’t want to wait for a taxi, so he just stormed out of the car. I tried to go after him but he wouldn’t listen to me
Ajax (MC)
(*eyes go wide*) Oh my god…YOU ARE SUCH A LIER!
Annabelle
(*yells*) AJAX! GO TO THE ROOM RIGHT NOW! That’s enough!
Ajax (MC)
But mom! He just…
Ajax (MC)
(*eyes water, runs upstairs*)
Annabelle
(*sighs*) I’m terrible sorry. Please forgive him. He doesn’t usually act out like this
Anthony
It’s okay ma’am. I understand. I just hope he will come to accept me one day
Annabelle
I hope so too. More than anything, I just want my son to be happy here without disturbing you too much
Annabelle
Umm…by the way…can I ask you something?
Annabelle
Do you…umm…do you think Ajax is getting bullied at all?
Anthony
(*freezes*) Umm…what?
Annabelle
(*looks down*) Oh it’s probably nothing but…sometimes he comes home with bruises and cuts. He hasn’t been acting like his usual self either. Like the way he treated you today. It’s very out of character
Anthony
I don’t know ma’am. But, I will make sure to keep an eye on my little brother from now on
Annabelle
Thank you dear 😄 you are a very kind boy. Perhaps my son is only acting out because he misses his father
Annabelle
Yes. I’m not sure if your dad has told you yet but my last husband passed away a few months ago
Annabelle
Yeah, him and my son were very close so it’s been really hard for him
Anthony
I see. I will keep that in mind from now on
Annabelle
Great 😄 then I will start the cooking. Your father texted me saying he will be home by 6, so hopefully we can all eat together
Anthony
(*nods*) I’ll go do something else in the meantime
Anthony and Annabelle part ways, but he couldn’t help but reflect on the conversation they just had
Anthony
💭She’s suspicious that something is going on. I’ll have to be careful from now on. Perhaps I’ll make Ajax seem like the actual bully. But…but Annabelle was being very kind just know. Ugh, who am I kidding! They both should go back to where they came from
Anthony had no idea that his heart was already softening towards his new mother. Perhaps it was because his actual mom never gave him the attention he craved
Another little reading tip. Anthony will do just about anything to make things go his way. Even if he has to lie and frame Ajax, he’d do it without hesitation

Just wanted to slam it into your distrusting face that your oh so great stepson called you a gold digger.
