My enemy since childhood

Chapter 34

There had been no bloodbath, perhaps that was one of the advantages of being a twin because Dylan had only had to meet my gaze to understand that i meant it. Get out of here, now!

Brooke, on the other hand, had not felt the atmosphere in the room at all. She didn't really have a horny Jake clinging to her but just a loving Dylan, i thought and took a breath. Was it jealousy that spread in my breast? no!

"What do you think we need to bring with us anyway?"

Brooke's words made me wince and blink a few times to come back to reality. I had started to get a habit of just disappearing in thought, which was really annoying.

"What is it?" she continued uncertainly and almost swallowed nervously, why was she nervous?

"Nothing" i mumbled and walked over to the closet.

She nodded and held out a sweater and raised her eyebrows questioningly so i just nodded.

"We will be away wednesday to sunday and we will be skiing, so i guess we don't need a lot of different changes with us," i said and picked up a pair of sweatpants.

"Maybe not, but you still want something a little nicer, if there's going to be a party, i mean."

"But the teachers will be there right?" i asked skeptically, they would hardly let us drink on a school trip, would they?

"It's clear you weren't around last year" Brooke said with a laugh.

Of course there would be a party, i thought and took out a pair of jeans. Did i really think it wouldn't? temporary confusion perhaps.

"May i ask you something?"

I looked at Brooke who had a new red color on her cheeks. I wasn't so lost that i couldn't guess what she wanted to talk about.

"Sure" i said and threw the pants into the bag.

"Are you okay with, you know, me and Dylan?"

"Why wouldn't i?" i asked, genuinely surprised that she was so unsure of what i thought of the two of them together.

"Just thinking, you seemed so mad when they came in here earlier."

I couldn't help but laugh. Maybe it wasn't strange that Brooke thought it was because of her and Dylan, sure it was a little strange to see them together but it wasn't about them.

"I'm happy for you guys, you know that," i said, smiling with as much conviction as possible as my stomach sank. But i was happy, deep down, as i said it wasn't about them.

"What is it about then?"

"Nothing special, it's all just so confusing" i said but immediately regretted it, had i revealed too much?

"What? With Thomas? I thought you had stopped teasing each other. He hasn't been on you all week."

Brooke was my best friend, she would surely understand if i told her that i had slept with Thomas. She wasn't exactly the judgmental type, a bit judgmental maybe but who the hell wasn't? but there was something that made it stick on the tongue as soon as i tried to tell her. was it because if i said it out loud it was more real? though what had happened had been as real as it could be, i thought, seeing Thomas naked, hard, wet body in front of me.

"What are you thinking about? You are blushing!" Brooke said laughing as she nudged the side lightly.

"I'm not blushing, it's just very hot in here" i said curtly and walked over to open the window.

"Sure, you are at least as bad at lying as i am?"

I remained at the window and looked out at the now darkened street. Maybe i should tell her about Jake, Or had i already? the only problem was that if i told her, maybe she would say something about it to Dylan. I was happy for them, they both liked each other but right now i missed my best friend who i could tell everything to.

I flinched when there was a knock on the door. It was an improvement anyway, i thought as i saw Dylan come back in, not with Jake in tow. A wave of relief washed over me and i breathed out, i hadn't even noticed i was holding my breath. He smiled at Brooke and i couldn't help feeling that jealousy that i didn't feel. Right? i must be green with envy.

When had it happened? from the fact that they just slept with each other to the fact that they actually looked really in love? how could i have missed it? had i ever seen Dylan look at a girl like that?

"We were thinking of watching a movie, do you want to watch with us?" Dylan asked, not letting go of Brooke's gaze.

I was about to say no but Brooke answered eagerly and kissed him so lustily that my cheeks actually warmed a little when Dylan put his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. It was my brother she was making out with. But it wasn't what made me blush, that would just be disgusting, but the act itself. I also wanted to be kissed by someone in that way as if i was the only girl in the room. Which in this case was almost true. It was just me and Brooke and i was Dylan's sister so maybe it wasn't surprising that he only had eyes for her. Although i don't think it would have mattered in Dylan's case if there were a hundred girls around them. He was really in love with her.

"Are you coming?" Brooke asked as she took Dylan's hand and started walking towards the door.

"I will probably keep packing," i said and cleared my throat.

"Come on, we leave on wednesday, you have time to pack" she continued with a laugh and leaned into Dylan's arms.

Well, what choice did i really have? stay and sulk in my room or go downstairs and watch that damn movie with two lovers and a Jake. The choice wasn't really very difficult if i hadn't seen the appeal in Brooke's eyes.

"Fine" i said and smiled even though i just wanted to cry, bloody hell! not the saturday night i had hoped for.

I looked after them as they walked out the door hand in hand. So they were together now, officially? probably. With a sigh i threw myself over the bed. How could i endure a few hours with Jake hanging over me? i really wanted to ask him why he was doing what he did? he wasn't interested in me, except to fuck, but why right now. He has never looked so intently at me before.

I took a deep breath and sat up on the edge of the bed. At least someone was having fun, i thought, shaking my head as i walked into the living room. I didn't have time to think much more because i stopped abruptly as my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

"What the hell are you doing here?" i asked out loud, meeting Thomas's gaze.

"Nice to see you too Y/n" he said with such dripping irony that a rush went through my body.

But seeing Thomas sitting on my sofa was probably not the worst, there was only one seat free in the whole sofa and it was the one between Thomas and Jake.

So this was going to be my death? never that i would survive this night.
