But He's My Brothers Bestfriend!

Our First Big Fight

It's been three months since me and Andrew have been dating. Things have been going extremely well. Today is Friday, our last football game.

I grab my jersey that Andrew had gotten made for me. It's matches his. It's black, red, and grey. With his number #33 on the back and it says Thompson's Girl on it. He insisted on me wearing it to every game. So possessive that boy is.

I climbed up the bleachers and joined Nicole and Hannah.
"Finally you made it! The game is about to start!" Nicole gushes.
"Hush I am here now." I stick my tongue out at her and she rolled her eyes at me.
"You're so childish Emily!" She says as she sticks her tongue out at me.
"Well isn't that the pot calling the kettle black." I smirk.
"Shut up bitches." Hannah chimes in and we all break out in fits of laughter while we clutch our sides.

The game started and us girls just talked and talked. We talked about life, school, and our boyfriends. Typical girl talk for us. We managed to talk the whole game and cheer for our boys as we did. It was the last quarter with .37 seconds left. The opposing team makes a pass Andrew catches it turns around and runs for our sideline. Boom touchdown!! Seahawks win! 46 to 23. I squeal and clap my hands. All the footballs players and cheerleaders shake hands and high five.

Nicole, Hannah, and I made our way down to the field. Just as I was about to walk up to Andrew, Becca wrapped her hands around his neck and placed her lips against his. My heart sank inside my chest. What the fuck! Instead of immediately pushing her away like I though he would he stood there and let her kiss him. No he didn't kiss her back but he didn't exactly stop her either.
When he realized what happened he shoves her away and looks for me with worried eyes.

"Emily wait!" He yells as I turn my back and storm away from him. I could hear him and my friends calling my name. Nicole and Hannah were about to follow me but he told them that he would talk to me. They seemed hesitant but reluctantly agreed.

I could hear his footsteps getting closer to mine so I sped up. My foot got caught on a rock and I went trembling down. He bent down beside me fear written all over his face. He offered me a hand but I refused to take it.
"Angel please talk to me." He begged with sad eyes. I pulled myself off the ground and shook my head.
"Hell no! Leave me alone! I can't believe I trusted you. How could you do this to me?" I yell as tears fall down my face.
"I didn't know she was going to kiss me!" He yelled back at me his voice cracking.
"You didn't seem to mind!" I snap wiping the tears from my face. Makeup running down my cheeks.
"I was in shock! You have to know that I would never hurt you. Angel I love you. Only you. Baby please talk to me." He begged as tears formed in his eyes. I wanted to hug him but I wanted to slap him so much more.

"Just leave me alone! I don't want anything to do with you!" I yell as I ran off leaving him frozen in his tracks. He didn't come after me. He didn't call my name. Nothing.

I decided to walk home to clear my head. It was quite a walk but it wasn't to dark outside. Tears threatening to fall at any moment. I replayed the whole event over and over in my head. His lips on hers. Her body pressed against his. Vomit came up my throat. I bent over and threw up my entire stomach contents. Sure I might be overreacting, but at this point in time I've never been so heartbroken. So lost. Tears streamed down my face as I turn on my street. How could he do this to me? Thankfully no one else really seemed to notice what happened because I couldn't stand it if everyone knew about this. This is humiliating. I walk up the steps and unlock the door. Thankful that my parents are never home and that Hunter is still at the school. I run up to my room and changed into my biggest sweatpants and tie-dye shirts. I wash my make up off my face and throw my hair in a bun. I sigh as I climb into bed. I check my phone. 16 missed calls and 8 new text messages all from Andrew, Hannah, and Nicole.

I decided to call Nicole and let her know I made it home.
"Hello? Emily are you alright?" She asks so softly.
"Yeah I just got home." I answer so ready to break down but I held it in.
"Do you want me and Hannah to come over?" She suggested.
"No it's okay. We will have girls night tomorrow. I just really want to get some sleep and clear my head. Thank you Cole." I reply. I really just wanted to cry myself to sleep or crawl under a rock and die both sounded about right.
"Call me if you need me or anything. Love you Emmy." She sounded so worried. I wasn't up for company. I wouldn't be much fun right now.
"Love you too." With that I hung up the phone and laid down and pulled the covers over my head. For the first time in a long time I cried myself to sleep.

I woke up with a pounding headache. Crying all night tends to do that to you. I get up and walk downstairs to get some Tylenol. As I walk into the kitchen I see Andrew and Hunter sitting at the table. Andrews head snaps my direction and his eyes soften immediately. My eyes were puffy and swollen. My skin was blotchy and paler than usual.
"Angel-" his voice trails off.
I take the Tylenol and make myself a cup of water. I ignored him. My brother knew I could tell by the look on his face. Hunter stood up and started walking towards me. I take the Tylenol and place my cup inside the sink. Hunter took me in his arms and I hug him back and tears start to fall. My tear ducts ached from all this crying. I started sobbing uncontrollably until I could no longer cry.

"I'm sorry Emmy. I'm here if you need anything. I want to be beating this guy to a pulp but for your sake I won't." His whispers in my ear.
"Thank you. I'm going to my room." I turn on my heel. As I was turning my eyes met Drew's and pain and sadness etched all over his face. I couldn't move I was so focused on the look on his face.
"Emily please talk to me." He begged. His words broke me out of my daze and I bolted up to my room and slammed the door. I crawled back into my cozy bed and faced the wall. The water works that I've became so familiar with began.
I heard a knock at my door but I didn't want company.
"Go away!" I yell through my tears.
Instead of going away they opened the door came in and closed it behind them. I felt the bed dip beside me. As soon as his scent hit me I knew it was Andrew. He didn't say anything he just rolled me over and pulled me against his chest. I laid my head on his chest and the tears eventually stopped. It felt good to be close to him. It's been 24 hours without skin contact and I've missed him.
"Angel I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I know I've been a jackass. Being away from you has killed me. I hated knowing you were in so much pain and that I'm the one who caused it." He pulled me tighter against his chest.
"Andrew seeing your lips on hers made me sick to my stomach. I was so upset all I saw was red. I walked home and threw up everything I had eaten yesterday. I was so broken." I whisper replaying the events in my head.
"Baby please forgive me. I'm so sorry. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you." He kissed my forehead.
"I forgive you, but if she touches you again you'll have to pull me off of her because I'll beat her to a pulp." I warn completely serious. A deep laugh escapes his chest and he kisses me.
"Deal Angel." He sighs and his body visually relaxes.
"Can I ask you something?" I ask him.
"You can ask me anything." He looks at me concerned.
"Why do you call me Angel?" I ask seriously.
A smile forms on his face and he started to answer.
"When I first saw you for the first time your brother was chasing you with a lizard and you were laughing like you didn't have a care in the world. You're laugh and smile made you radiant like an angel. I've been in love with you ever since." He shrugged as he finished. Wow. This guy really does love me. And I've been so angry and rude to him.
"I'm sorry I've been a bitch to you." I mumble embarrassed by my childish behavior.
"You don't have anything to apologize for. I was wrong and I should have stopped it. I promise it won't happen again." He pulls me against him and gives me a deep kiss. I fell asleep in his arms and even after everything I've never felt closer to this guy. Love has a crazy way of working your emotions and I'm glad this guy has my heart.
