Have any of you ever confessed your feelings to your crush only to get turned down? 

Well, that's happened to me not once, not twice but three times. 

In middle school, I confessed to the first boy I ever loved and was horribly rejected. In my freshman year, the same happened and in my final year, the same thing occurred. 

Is this some sort of curse? Am I being punished for the wrongs I did in my past life? If so then I apologize to whatever higher being is listening!

Did I fail to mention that all three of the very same guys I loved and adored are my new stepbrothers?! 

Yeah, didn't see that coming did you? 

Well......neither did I.

Are you serious right now?!

I asked in confusion. The two looked at me in silence with weird expressions before Luke opened his mouth to answer me.

"You've been hanging with Ian all day and didn't even think about inviting us!"

He complained crossing his arms and puffing his cheeks. Wait, is that what this was about? Me not paying any attention to them and instead playing with their brother? Ha! They sound like a bunch of toddlers who got their older sister taken from them.

"Ah, is that why you guys are upset?"

They both answered in unison. Their honesty truly surprised me but I could not help but be pleased at the same time. I felt like an older sister with two adorable and jealous brothers. Call it being smug but I felt more power in this moment than I ever had in my life.

"Okay, how about you guys join us then?"

You pierced?
