My Best Friend's Brother (Completed)

Chapter 7

Maggie and I ended up inviting a few friends other than her. We ended up inviting Crystal, and Jamie. Our other two best friends.

"Alright! Let's play Truth or Dare." Jamie said.

Jamie got up from her seat and went over to the small band that was next to the door and grabbed a beer.

Crystal ended up bringing drinks, because she didn't like to not party without drinking. Even though this wasn't a party. More of just a sleepover.

"All right, sounds fun. But, anybody who lies, has to drink." Maggie said, enticing the game.

"Okay, who wants to go first? How about... Jamie? Truth or Dare love?" Crystal said, looking at Jamie.

Crystal always called people love, she lived the past two years of her life in England. I'm not sure how she picked it up, but she did! It's very annoying if I'm being honest.

"Dare." Jamie said, trying to get a reaction out of crystal.

"Is this a naughty Truth or Dare game? Or is this just a regular child's Truth or Dare game?" Crystal asked all of us. At the same time we all said naughty. I Want to have a bit of fun tonight.

"All right, Jamie... I dare you to go into the bathroom, take a naughty pic, and send it to the top person on your contact list." Crystal said.

My eyes widened at the Dare, but I knew it was all for fun and games. Jamie rolled her eyes, before laughing and getting up and heading off to the bathroom.

Only about two minutes later she came back out, with a big smile on her face. She was blushing.

"Who was it? Who did you send it to?" I asked her. I was wondering who was at the top of her contact list. Mostly because I wanted to know who she texted so much.

"Well, you just ruined everything for me. It was a guy I was talking to, wanting to slow things down. But since I'm a rebel, I did it! His name is Alex. He's a real sweetheart. But that's all I'm going to tell you. Now he's going to think the worst of me. But I did tell him it was for a day or. And I told him to basically just disregard it."

"Well, if he's such a sweetheart, then he will. Sorry about that love, it's just all for fun and games." Crystal apologized to Jamie. Not meaning it whatsoever.

"Alright Jamie, pick your victim."

"Maggie, truth or dare?" Jamie asked Maggie.

"Truth."

"Boring!!! Why not have a little fun and Maggie? Pick dare!" Jamie said, annoyed.

"No. Just let me pick my thing, maybe next time I'll pick it. But right now I choose the truth. Now go."

"Fine, whatever. Is it true that you're a virgin?" Jamie asked Maggie.

Maggie looked at the ground, completely embarrassed. Her cheeks are now red as hell.

"It's not a bad thing Maggie. It's good. It means you aren't a whore,"

"Whoa, just because I slept with somebody doesn't mean I'm a whore" I told Crystal. Who made the sly comment.

"I never said you were a w****! I just simply said that Maggie shouldn't be ashamed of herself. It's a good thing she hasn't slept with tons of guys. And you haven't either. You've only slept with one guy?"

"Does it matter? You should still have the same reaction if I slept with nobody, one guy, or a hundred. You were my friend, and you should be supportive no matter what. If I was a whore or not."

"Marissa. I don't know what's wrong with you. But I swear I wasn't trying to be rude. Is something wrong?" Crystal asked me. I shook my head no. Even though something was wrong. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened between Anthony and me. It was still stuck in my head. Even though it had only been a week and a half.

"I'm fine. Just keep playing the game."

"Fine. Maggie, it's your turn. Pick your victim!"

"All right, Marissa. Since we're talking about this, what is your body count? The last time I know you've only slept with one guy. That ass holds George. So, have you slept with anybody else?"

"Yes. I have. But I don't want to say his name." I told her.

"Damn, so what does that mean? Is he popular? Is he not? I wonder who he is... There has to be a reason you're not telling us. Come on Marissa, tell us! Tell us! Tell us who it is! I want to know. This is so juicy. You're not an uptight b**** or whatever. And you're not a whore either. I want to know who earned the right to sleep with you!"

"Jamie. I asked you to leave it alone. So please. It was a huge mistake and it happened about a week or so ago."
"A week ago? What's this when we weren't talking?"

"Yeah. I got really upset. And he was there for me when you weren't. No offense to you. But I needed somebody at the moment. Thanks for being pretty rough at home. Even though I'm not here to admit it all that well. But he was there for me for a few minutes. And we ended up sleeping together. It was a huge mistake, and I hate myself for it."

"So, since I think it's best if we back off of it, as respect for Marissa, Marissa, is your turn to pick your victim!" Maggie said. Trying to get off of the conversation.

"Alright Jamie! Your turn! Truth or dare?"

The game ended up going on for another 2 hours. Spilling each other's juicy gossip. Luckily they backed off and didn't want to know his name. I was so glad that they didn't. Because I was so worried that they would find out who it was. Even though I wouldn't have any intention of actually seeing his name. If it wasn't for him being Maggie's brother, and Maggie Drive oh, I would be happy to tell them. But I also again wouldn't regret it. Maybe as much though. I still hate that he has slept with tons of other girls, and I was one of his conquests. It makes me feel so horrible.

As we continued to play games, I heard my phone go off. I excused myself from the game, and got up and took my phone into the kitchen where I was alone.

I saw that I had to text a missed call from Anthony. He left me a voicemail.

Voicemail - Anthony: Marissa. Contact me immediately. I need your help.

Text - Anthony: Text me or call me when you get the chance!

I quickly called him, not wanting to waste any time if something was extremely wrong. I worried about him and wanted to make sure that he was okay.

He instantly picks up.

Anthony: Hey Marissa, I'm glad you called back.

Marissa: Is everything okay Anthony? You seemed worried. And in need of help.

Anthony: I'm fine. I've just done some thinking. I miss you so much. I need to talk to you about some stuff. I know I said I'd leave you alone. But these past few days have been complete hell. I can't stop thinking about you. You have the wrong idea of me. I wish you would just let me explain myself. I know you don't want to be with me. I know you don't want to talk to me because of who I am. And what I have done. But if you understand, maybe you'll accept me more.

Marissa: Anthony, I'm very sorry but I can't do this. As I said, you are my best friend's brother. It is not right to do so. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do better. I wish you and I had a chance. I know that's selfish to admit. But it's true. I have to go. I'm with your sister right now. Maybe we can talk later on after the sleepover. I'll let you know. Because I feel as though we should talk. I just wish you wouldn't have worried me so badly. I thought something was wrong with you. I thought of something that happened to you.

Anthony: All right Gorgeous, I'll leave you alone. Have fun with your sleepover. I'm very sorry to have worried you.

After that he hung up. Leaving me to my thoughts. I quickly put my phone in my pocket and headed back out to where the girls were. They looked at me as I came back in, and I almost burst into tears. But I didn't. I kept myself together. I hated lying to them.

If I'm being honest with myself. I liked him a lot more than I let on.

I like the way he talked to me. I like the way he kissed me. I like the way he touched me. He was something else.

And I missed him.

I was about to make a huge mistake, but right now it wouldn't seem like a mistake.
