I've enjoyed having Lizzie here with me, I showed her around my home. We've now been sitting in my living room watching a movie and drinking tea. Well maybe not so much watching the movie, we've been talking through most of it. "I'm glad you invited me over, I'm having a great time"
"I'm glad as well, I'm having a really good time" I smile as she leans her head on my shoulder shoulder sighing happily. I find myself reaching up to move her hair out of her face. But then the sound of my phone makes me jump a little. I look at the alarm going off on my phone and quickly shut it off.
"What was that?" She queries sitting up straight.
"I have to pick up my little brother from school. Do you mind if we do that?" I query standing up from the couch.
"No I don't mind at all! I didn't know you had a little brother" She smiles, excitedly getting up from the couch.
"I never mentioned him to you? I'm sorry. His name is Xander, he's 14 and in his first year of highschool" I explain as we walk out of my house.
"I can't wait to meet him" She smiles grabbing my hand as we approach my two cars.
"I usually would take my Honda but.. I think we'll take me Porsche today. What do you think?" I query looking over at her with a smirk on my face.
"I think that's a great idea" She giggles softly as we start towards my Porsche.
(2018 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is the Porsche I'm talking about for reference)
We hop in the Porsche and drive off to Xanders school. "This should make him look cool" I say not realizing I said it out loud.
"What?" Lizzie looks over at me confused.
"Oh I didn't realize I said that out loud. I want Xander to look cool I'm front of his mates. I think he's having a hard time at school, but I'm not sure" I sigh looking forward as we approach the high school.
"Well.. I think to be even cooler, we should have the top down" She suggests. I look over at her as she smiles biting her bottom lip.
"I think that's an amazing idea" I blow her a kiss before putting the top down on the Porsche. We pull up to the front of the school and I almost immediately see Xander but he's standing by himself. I honk to get his attention, and it works perfectly. He quickly walks over to the car and gets in as I notice people watching. I look back at him as he puts his seatbelt on them look forward. I drive off towards my house, "I'm taking you to my house"
"What why?" He questions me.
"What you don't want to hangout with your big brother?" I joke as he grumbles.
"That's not what I was saying" He rolls his eyes as I laugh.
"By the way Xander this is Lizzie, Lizzie this is my little brother Xander" I introduce them as we pull up to a stop light.
"Oh it's nice to meet you" He smiles leaning over to look at Lizzie.
"It's nice to meet you too" She turns around to smile at him as well. After a few minutes we approach my house so I put the top back up on the Porsche. I pull into the driveway and the three of us pile out of the car. Xander seems to be very quiet as we walk into the house.
"Xander" I shut the front door behind us as he sets his backpack down.
"Yea?" He turns around to face me.
"What's going on? Why were you alone when we came to get you?" I query as his eyes widen.
"I'll just uh go into the kitchen" Lizzie chuckles awkwardly ready to walk away.
"It's ok you can stay" I grab her hand squeezing it softly. "Xander, is there something you need to tell me bud?"
"I don't know what you're talking about" He huffs crossing his arms.
"I know when somethings wrong, you always attach yourself to me when you're upset with something. Well attach yourself more than usual" I chuckle as he sighs looking down at the floor. "You can tell me anything you know that"
"I don't have any friends.. I lied" He admits putting his hands in his jacket pockets.
"What? Why did you lie about that?" I query as he shakes his head.
"Because I get bullied! Ok? These twits at school make fun of me. They make fun of my accent, the poke fun at anything I do. Or if I say things like twit, or how I say arse. That's why I've been coming over more often. Mum and dad don't know..." He admits running his hand through his hair.
I take a deep breathe so I don't get pissed that my little brothers getting bullied. Before I can say anything Lizzie releases my hand, walks over to Xander and puts her hands on his shoulder. "I'm sorry to hear you're getting bullied. But if it makes you feel any better I like your accent. I like both of your accents I think it's cute and charming"
"I'm sorry Xander I didn't realize it sooner."
"It's ok.. and thank you Lizzie, that makes me feel a little better" He smiles looking up at us.
"You know when I was younger, way before we moved here, there was an American boy who moved to London and went to my school. No one wanted to be his friend, they'd make fun of him as well. But then this one kid went up to him and befriended him. That kid was me, I befriended him and then Ryder befriended him as well. Soon he had a good group of friends" I explain walking over to him as Lizzie takes a step to the side. "I know there will be a kid like me who will befriend you no matter what you sound like or the things you say. You're a good kid Xander. And I'm always here for you. Now come here and give me a hug" I chuckle pulling him into a hug.
"Thank you Y/n.. and you too Lizzie. I'm glad I told you.." He chuckles softly as I let go of him.
"No need to thank me. That's what big brothers are for, now why don't we all watch a movie and relax?"
"Great idea!" Lizzie smiles then we both look over at Xander.
"That sounds great" He smiles and follows us to the living room. We all sit on the couch and I put on a movie ready to just relax.
