My Best Friends Brother.

Chapter 11.- Be Alone

*Jake's POV*

I look in Isa's room to see if her and Myles are ok, because it's been quiet for a while, and before they were screaming at each other. When I open the door I see Myles has her held close to him, and they are both asleep. The sight makes my heart hit the floor. Yes, it makes me sad, but I'm not angry, because they both needed someone. Who knows what Myles would of done if she hadn't calmed him down, or what Isa would of done if Myles hadn't been there to distract her. Myles is a very belligerent drunk, and Isa has a very low opinion of herself. Even though she claims she believes suicide is a selfish decision I've worried she would take the easy way out, because I've seen the fight she has with herself.

*three months prior*

Isa has been going through guys faster than I've ever seen. She's been on 5 dates this week and it's only Thursday. She talks to them and then never sees them again. Does she just get bored with them, or are they just lousy in bed? She's also seemed a bit moody lately and I don't know why.

"Isa it's almost time for work!!! Are you ready yet!?" No response. That's weird. I look in her room, and she's not there. I go to her bathroom, and there she is on the floor in the fetal position with a razor, asking if it's worth it anymore. What happened to bring her to this? That's something she said she'd never do. She looks up at me and the pain is apparent on her face...what has happened to her?

That day she told me about a few of her many demons. Her fiance(and every other guy she's ever dated) cheated on her, her dad was an alcoholic, and she dated a drug dealer...that beat her. Why anyone would lay their hand on any woman is beyond me, but Isa is the kindest sweetest human being ever. She told me that all of that has caused her to have a certain view when it came to men, and she's become very picky, but all the ones she likes, seem to only want her for her body. I can understand that, because she is beautiful, but that's no excuse to use her. Along with all of this she was dealing with her grandfather dying, and that drug dealer ex-that beat her, he committed suicide. You think she's be happy that sick son-of-a-bitch was out of the world, but no she feels guilty, because she told him she never wanted to speak to him again. She feels like she could of helped him. I don't see how she forgave him. As far as I know this darker side of Isa is something only I'm privy too, because I walked in and found her.

Because of all the baggage Isa has I'm going to give her time to think about all this with me, and Myles. She deserves someone who's going to be patient and understanding, and if I want to be with her, I'll have to be what I think she deserves.

I walk back to my room to get on twitter to distract myself from the thought of my brother, in bed, with the girl I want to be with.

*Isa's POV*

When I wake, I still feel Myles' arms locked around me. The way he's holding me, it's like he was scared he'd have to wake up without me, so he made sure I couldn't leave. I look up at him, and he looks so happy, and peaceful. I watch him sleep for a while. I don't know why this is so comforting, but it is. After a while he finally wakes up. His eyes flutter open, and he groans. He puts one of his hands on his head. "Fuck....this hurts." I giggle a little, because it's his fault. "It's not funny. It's the worst hangover I've ever had." He grabs the water I brought him last night, and starts drinking it.

"Do you want a tylenol?" He just nods at me, and drinks more water. I try getting up, but his other arm is still wrapped around me tightly. "Myles if you want the tylenol you'll have to let me go." He smiles a little.

"I think I might just let my head hurt for a bit...I'm too comfortable." He snuggles up closer to me, and wraps his other arm back around me. Its weird after all the craziness of yesterday, and he's still acting so cute towards me.
