"My... brother would love you." DJ replied.

Lou was playing on his phone again. The light from his cellphone was lightly shining on his face. I could see a little of his expression; he had his tongue sticking out... kind of like he was concentrating. I guess he was texting or playing a game on his phone. Needless to say he was completely silent while DJ and I talked.

"So, you have a brother? Do you have any other siblings?" I asked as I got comfy on the couch.

"Yeah, I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters. Lou is one of my brothers. The others are at a hotel in town." DJ said.

"Wow, that's a big family. Do you all get along?" I asked.

DJ slightly laughed, " yeah, we all get along. I don't get to see my sister's that much but, they are the best."

I smiled because I've never heard a guy say anything nice about his sister's without first saying how annoying they were.

"It must be nice having a lot of siblings. Especially on a road trip so far from home." I said cheerfully.

"Well, my brothers aren't ACTUALLY my brothers. I mean they are my brothers but, not really."

I guess tonight was my night to be completely confused.

"So, they were all adopted? I asked in confusion.

DJ chuckled, "I suppose you could say that."

Lou was being way too quiet. I looked over at him, he was smiling. He had such a beautiful smile.

Lou could feel there were eyes on him. He realized he wasn't contributing to the conversation.

"Oh...um, yes. The Titanic did in fact sink after crashing into a glacier....AND to tell you something else, if that stupid peasant of a Captain wou..."

"Lou!" DJ interrupted.

"What? Just my opinion, mate." Lou said matter of fact.

"We weren't even talking about the bloody Titanic." DJ said in a jokingly smartass tone.

"Oh. Well, I...suppose I just felt compelled... to...Oh bloody hell, what we're you talking about? This is why I talk to Kevin; HE gets me." Lou said dramatically.

"I get you, bro." DJ said as he laughed at Lou's little rant.

"I know you do." Lou said laughing as well.

I was laughing along with them. I really hoped these guys would stay in contact with me. They were amazingly awesome.

"Hey Briar, do you have any carrots?" Lou asked randomly.

"Um...." I said still laughing, "I think so. Let me check." I got up from the couch, grabbed a candle, and headed to the refrigerator.

"Yes, I have some." I shouted towards the living room.

"Can you bring me some, Love?" Lou yelled back.

I rinsed the baby carrots off in the sink and placed them in a glass bowl. I was walking back to the living room when my phone rang. I pulled my cell out of my pocket halfway expecting it to be Ella. I was wrong, It was my mom.

"Hi mom." I said answering my cell.

"Briar! Are you okay, sweetie?" My mom knew I absolutely hated storms. She was a worry wart.

"Actually, I'm fine. I have company." I said as I handed Lou the bowl of carrots.

"Thanks, Love." Lou tried to whisper.

"Was that a boy? You have to dish! What's he like?" My mom asked excitedly.

"It's not like that, mom. They are just friends." I corrected.

"They?" Mom squeaked

"Yes, they. Meaning two. They are brothers." I said.

"I hope your being...safe?" She asked assumably.

"Mom, they are JUST FRIENDS." I said emphasizing.

"Oooohhh... I promise I won't tell your father." Mom said not believing me.

I laughed at her... accusation. She knew what I went through last year.

"Okay... I'm going to go now. I'm being rude to my FRIENDS." I giggled.

"Okay sweetie. I love you." She said laughing as well.

"Love you too. Bye, mom." I ended the call.

"Everything alright, Bri?" DJ asked.

Apparently, while I was talking to my mom, I got a nickname.

"Yeah, you know how moms can be. She was just checking on me."

"So, I guess we're friends now." Lou said.

"Well, I mean, your in my home, we've made the best of the situation at hand, and I have fed the both of you so, I kind of have to keep you now." I said playfully sounding broken up about it.

"Not to mention our good looks and our awesomeness." DJ added proudly."Oh and your pretty awesome too."

"Thanks..." I laughed,

" I think you guys are pretty awesome but, I have no clue about the good looks part..... I haven't seen your faces!" I said hoping they would show me a picture or maybe even get closer to the candlelight.
