My Brothers Best Friend

*Piper*

"Hey bae, make yourself useful and get me a drink." Dylan lies on the couch and watches the reruns of Beauty and the Geek. I get up and walk to the kitchen. Jason is sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper. He looks up when I walk into the kitchen and shakes his head disapprovingly.

"What?" I ask him. He doesn't feel the need to answer and picks up where he left off. I quickly pour myself a glass of coke and hurry back to the living room. I put the glass of coke down on the coffee table and sit down again. Dylan coughs and looks at me.

"Is something wrong?" I ask softly. He holds out his hand to the glass.

"I can't reach it." He then says irritably.

"Then you facking stand up and put your hand out a little further!" I hear someone shout behind me. Luca enters the room and looks at us with his deep blue eyes. His eyes contrast beautifully with his black hair. I feel that Dylan is tense but he still doesn't get up. To avoid an argument, I get up and hand the glass to Dylan.

"There you go." I say as I fall back into the chair. Luca sighs excessively deeply, but I ignore him.

"Come sit with me for a while." Says Dylan as he opens his arms. My heart makes a jump for a moment and I give him a hug. We stay like that for a while. I sit on his lap with his arms around him.

"Shall we go to your room for a while?" He whispers sultrily in my ear. I look at him shocked.

"Uh n-no. I'm not ready yet." I reply. He looks at me and then rolls his eyes.

"Then don't. But you don't know what you are missing! "For a moment it remains silent. "After yes, then I'll go again." He pushes me off him and stands up. He walks to the coat rack and takes his coat off.

"Are you leaving now because I don't want to?" I ask bemusedly.

"No, it's not that. Well, partly. I just don't understand what you're afraid of. That handjob last time went well too, didn't it?" I just don't know how to give a serious answer to that. My cheeks turn red with embarrassment.

"This is different." I say.

"Whatever you want." He pulls me towards him and immediately sticks his tongue in my mouth. He starts twisting roughly and it feels anything but nice. It feels like I'm licking an ashtray. Yes, I have experience of that. I was very young and I didn't know what it was. Now I know and it is nasty! Since then the boys are not allowed to smoke in the house. When he has finished, he walks out and slams the door behind him.

I run to the kitchen and look for a packet of chewing gum. Jason is still busy with the newspaper and Luca is playing on his phone.

"Dylan is an asshole." Says Luca without looking up from his phone. "He's just using you! You can see that yourself!"

"He's not." I say uncertainly. He laughs scornfully and looks at me somewhat angrily.

"Guys, calm down." Says Jason. "She's just in love Luca. Don't you remember what it was like when you fell in love for the first time?" I quickly grab a glass from the cupboard and fill it with water.

"Yes, but I have learned from it. Love does not exist, relationships are based on lust." I ignore him and walk towards my room. "Hope you learn from this!" He shouts after me.

*Jason*

"Was that necessary?" I ask Luca. He shrugs and continues with his game. I fold the newspaper and throw it on the counter in one move.
