My brothers best friend

Chapter 3: Empty streets

It was Saturday and it already have been a few days, since we had dinner with Alex. I haven't seen him since and I just wanted to see him really bad. 

I already started planning the outfits, that I wanted to take with me to Italy. I was so excited that i couldn't stop thinking about it. And about him...

It was already dark outside and I was bored, so I decided to go downstairs and look what the rest of my family was doing. I had my PJ's on because I had no motivation to get dressed in the morning, since no one was going to see me anyway. 

I heard chatter in the living room. As I turned to go into the living room I bump into something hard.

I felt someone grab my arms. Oh my god please no. I looked up.

It was just Cody. Who else Diana? I hit him on his arm.

"Watch your steps, brother" , I said more pissed than I actually wanted sound.

I don't know why I thought it would be Alex. I'm telling you, I was actually going crazy. Every time I heard someone ring the door or every time I saw a text popping up, I immediately thought that it could be Alex. I seriously hated myself for that.

"What's wrong, why are you so mad?", asked Cody confused.

I said I was on my period to avoid the conversation, as I stepped into the living room. I sat on the couch next to my mom. My parents were looking a movie and it looked like the movie maze runner. 

I put my face into my hands. Damn it i was so angry at myself. What was that earlier? 

"Is everything okay Diana?", asked my dad with confusion.

"She is on her period", said Cody while entering the living room with cookies in his hands.

I looked up and gave him a mad look. He raised his hands in defense and took place next to my dad.

"Fuck you", i said. Calm down Diana, your brother didn't do anything wrong. 

"Fuck you too", he said without looking at me. He was starring at his cookies.

"Hey kids, language!", said my dad looking at both of us.

I sighed while I put my head on my mothers shoulder. I felt sick and everything annoyed me. All I wanted was to see- no Diana. Stop.

"Would it cheer you up, if I take you out with me tonight? I'm meeting with the boys", said Cody while stuffing a cookie into his mouth.

I took my head of my moms shoulder. My body got stiff. 

"What boys?", I asked even though I surely knew what boys he was talking about. I felt the blood rushing through my veins. Calm down..

"Uhh well Nick, Matt and Alex. Besides that you should really get to know each other, since we're all going on vocation soon", he said.

Cody must have seen how nervous I got when he mentioned their names.

"Bub I promise they are very nice and they will like you", he said as he stood up to give me a cookie.

"Yeah, maybe. Thank you", i grabbed the cookie and gave him a little smile. He ruffled my hair and I hit him with my foot.

My mom looked at me disappointed and Cody and I started laughing.

"Get ready Bub, we're leaving in 20 minutes", he said and walked out of the living room.

I ran upstairs into my room. The first thing i did was to grab my pillow and finally scream into it. Ugh that felt amazing, I really needed this. I was so happy that I was going to see Alex again but of course I was also excited to finally meet Matt and Nick.
