My Brothers Friend

10. Days go by

Days and weeks have gone by since you last saw Q. You've kept in contact via texts and calls but it will never be as good as being together. He promised he would be home frequently but that hasn't been the case, at, all.

He has continued to share how he feels about you but it hasn't felt the same at all. You feel like you're bothering him, like you're an annoying younger sister, you call him to try and talk about how you're feeling.

'Hey gorgeous what's up?' Q answers the phone

'Hey Q, you okay?' you ask

'Yea im fine just getting ready to go out tonight'

'oh where are you going? who with?'

'going to a night club with some fake ID's, and just a couple of friends it'll be good' 

'yea it will, I hope you have fun' you sigh

'whats wrong? I can hear in your voice something is wrong?' he sounds concerned, but not really interested, you can hear people talking in the background

'are you with people? I don't wanna bother you' you frown

'yea I am but what's wrong you can tell me' he asks

'well, I know we aren't together and i'm not your girlfriend or anything, but we both like each other and are always talking, but as of recently I've just felt like a bother, like an annoying little sister like you're not that interested, its been different since you left' you take a deep breath while waiting for a response

'I do like you, you've not been a bother i've just been busy y/n' he sighs

'I know that Q, I'm just saying how I've felt, its been lonely here, school sucks'

The call is muffled, Q isn't talking but you can hear the background music and multiple people talking

'Q?' you ask

'oh yea sorry, what did you say?'

Rage fills your body, what an asshole

'you know what, never mind Q, have a fun night out. Bye' you shout as you hang up the phone

You throw your phone to your bed with a scream. How could he be so rude, he says he has all these feelings for you yet cant even take a minute to listen to how you've been feeling, with him and in general. Your phone vibrates on your bed, you take a deep breath before turning it over and seeing a text from Q

*why did you hang up?*

You frown and slam the keys of your phone to reply

*youre an asshole Q, the biggest out there, im trying to talk to you about how I've been feeling but clearly everyone around you is more important, have a nice night, bye* 

You press send and wait for a reply, you want something nice and cute, and apology maybe?

*call ya later y/n*

You throw your phone into your desk drawer and refuse to go near it for the rest of the night.

While Q has been out you've been relaxing with your mum, its just the two of you now so you get a lot of time together. You're getting ready for bed and decide its time to check your phone

'huh? what phone number is this? they've sent me a picture message' you frown down at your phone. You're hesitant to open it at first but you decide to go for it

You open the photo and you're met with pure shock and hurt. Your jaw drops and your eyes fill with tears immediately. Tears stream down your cheeks and you start to sob.

'how, how could he do this' you cry to yourself as you zoom into the picture.

It's Q, and he is kissing another girl in the corner of the night club, his hand around her waist like he used to do to you, and the other holding her neck. This wasn't an accidental kiss, this was a kiss he wanted and went in for. He has no regret. You don't know who sent it, but you're grateful they did

'Thank you' you reply

You put your phone away, lost in the thoughts in your head, what do you even do now, can you be angry? You weren't his girlfriend, you were never exclusive, but he has been saying how much he likes you, he told all the guys he likes you, including Ethan.

You look at your phone, tears streaming down your face. You decide to call Ethan

'Hey sis what's... why are you crying what's happened' he says concerned 

'it's Q, how, how Ethan can he say how much he likes me all the time, sleep with me, call me every single day, speaks about me to his friends, say he only wants me, and then, then he goes and grabs and kisses another girl while he's out' you cry down the phone

'he what...' the call goes silent

'someone sent me a picture of him with his hands around a girl and kissing her in the corner, Ethan I loved him, I've wanted him for so long' you sniff

The call goes silent, you hear Ethan breathing down the phone and only from that you can tell, he, is, PISSED

'Ethan?' you say

'are you sure it was him, im going to kill his ass'

'im sure, don't do that please Ethan'

'no y/n, he went this far with you and even told all of us about it so you could carry on, you're my little sister, he's my best friend, well was, you're more important to me' he says in a stern voice

'ethan i just needed someone to cry to'

'I know, but I gotta speak to Q, im sorry, ill call you back okay?'

'...fine, don't be horrible'

'I love you sis, it'll be fine' He ends the call

You take a deep breath and lay on your bed with the phone in your hand. You continue to cry while cuddling into your blanket, you stare at your phone waiting for Ethan to call back, your tears make your eyes heavy and tired, causing you to fall asleep.
