"So what are you doing tonight?"

"I'm actually getting ready to go trick or treating." I told my brother through the phone and I tried to squeeze myself into my costume.

"You are going trick or treating? Aren't you too old to go?"

"Thanks for calling me old." I deadpanned. "But no I'm taking a...friends sister out."

I had yet to tell Trent that Alex and I were dating. It's not that I didn't want him to know because I did, but i wanted Trent's approval. I wanted him to be happy for me, for him to like Alex. In a way I wanted his approval more than my own parents.

Trent practically raised me and has always been the one I looked up to the most. So I needed him to approve of Alex and I. I wish I could tell him in person but he wasn't coming home anytime soon and I didn't want to hide our relationship for that long.

"This friends sister...is he the boy that I heard on the phone the other day?" Trent questioned. As much as I wanted to say no I let out a sigh and paused in zipping up my costume.

"I have something to tell you." I grab my bottom lip between my teeth as I took my phone of speaker and held it to my ear.

"Please god don't tell me you are pregnant! Riley you better not me or I will fly all the way there and beat your ass and the stupid ass boy who got you pregnant. You know what," There was shuffling on the other side of the phone. "I'm coming home this instant. I can't believe this."

"Trent." He kept on mumbling through the phone. "Trent."

"Bro what are you doing?" I heard the familiar voice of Nicholas in the background.

"My dumb ass sister is pregnant and now she tells me on the phone." I rolled my eyes.

"I never said I was pregnant." I said although he clearly didn't hear a word I said as he kept talking.

"Your sister is pregnant?" Nicholas said near the phone.

"Trent!"

"It's that punk kid who I heard on the phone isn't it! Should have put you in an all girls school." Trent muttered. I heard more shuffling around before Nicholas talked through the phone.

"Sweet cheeks I think your brother has lost his mind."

"I think so too. He jumped to conclusions."

"So not pregnant?"

"God no!" I could feel my face heat up. I've never even had sex for crying out loud. "No."

"Why did he jump to conclusions anyways?" The background noise got a bit quieter as I assumed he was walking a bit aways.

"All I said was I had something to tell him." I leaned against the bathroom counter.

"I thought I said I wasn't ready for him to know about us yet." Nicholas whined making me grin. I hadn't even met the guy but I already liked him.

"I thought you love me enough to tell my brother?" I changed my voice to make it sound like I was crying. Nicholas chuckled through the phone.

"I already love you sweet cheeks." I rolled my eyes at the term of endearment.
