My enemy since childhood

Chapter 43

I woke up on wednesday morning and felt my stomach flutter. Everything was packed and ready so now i just wanted to get away.

I had really started looking forward to the skiing trip as soon as i understood that it was now and not in a few weeks. My skiing talent was a little rusty, but it would be fun to go away and see something else and skip school for a few days.

When there was a knock on the door i sat up in bed. It was probably my mom who wanted to check that i was really awake. As if i could oversleep on a morning like this? it was rather that i had difficulty sleeping at all.

With a surprised look i raised my eyebrows as Dylan stepped into my room. He didn't look angry, rather thoughtful.

"Are you awake?" he asked softly, stopping in the doorway.

"Yeah? You see that right?" i said and laughed.

"Can i come in?" he muttered so i raised my eyebrows again, what the hell was up with him?

"Sure, come in."

He walked with slow steps and sat down in the small armchair that stood by my window. He twisted something unfamiliar and fingered some small things i had on the side table and swallowed a few times before meeting my gaze. what had happened? was there something with Brooke?

"Sorry" he began biting his lips.

"Sorry? For what? Has something happened to Brooke?"

"No, but sorry for what i said to you on monday. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that, it was fucking stupid. But honestly, seeing brooke hurt really freaked me out, she means so much to me and-"

"Dylan, it's okay, Brooke and i sorted everything out."

"I know, but we talked and i have had a bad conscience about how i behaved. You are my sister and i wouldn't have said that to you."

"Thanks."

"So it's cool between us? You are my sister but you are also Brooke's best friend. I don't want anything to be ruined because of what happened."

I kept my eyes fixed on him and felt almost a little proud. Sure, he had said stupid things but he was my brother, my family, so i hadn't taken it too hard but it was really big of him to apologise. Brooke probably had a good influence on him.

"We are fine. But i have to ask one thing."

"Like what?"

"What did Thomas mean he hoped you could be faithful this time?"

"Eh, it's just an old thing" he muttered and ran one hand through his hair.

"Tell me, please?"

"Something happened when we were in first grade, i met a girl, who i liked a lot, we were together i guess, but then at a party we had sex with another girl. Me and Thomas i mean, with that other girl.

"What? Did you and Thomas have a threesome?" i said shocked with wide eyes.

"Yeah and of course the girl i was together with, found out about it. I don't know but it's the worst thing i have ever done in my entire life. You know me, i'm not the one to cheat if i'm in a relationship."
