My brothers bestfriend

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎

Charles dropped me and Daelyn off at our house and once we get in there he goes straight upstairs. Hopefully to go call Lily. "He Caleb where's mama?" I ask my brother who's sitting at the island eating pizza.

He swallows his food. "Once she dropped me off here from school she went to pick up somebody I don't know who though. She said it's someone we all know." I nod and go to the fridge to look for something to eat.

I turn toward Caleb. "Where did you find that pizza?" He looks up from his phone. "This was the last slice." I roll my eyes and go back to scanning the fridge.

"I mean we could always go on a McDonald's run." He says. "I would but I only have my permit." I explain. "It's not like we're gonna get pulled over its like 10 minutes down the road." He says.

I think about it for a minute but considering I basically haven't eaten anything all day I decide we can go. I grab Daelyns car keys and go upstairs and knock on his door. I hear a faint 'come in.'

I open the door to see him on the phone who I hope is Lily. "Me and Caleb are going to McDonald's do you want anything?" I ask. He shakes his head no and I close the door.

"Can I please have a medium sprite and a large fry?" I say to the speaker. 'Would that be all.' I hear. "Yep." I say. 'Your total is 5.23 please pull up to the first window.'

I pull up and give him the money and pull up to the 2nd window. 'Here you go ma'am.' He says giving me the bag. "Thank you have a good day." I say. 'You to.'

We get back to our house and I set the bag on the counter. And start taking the food out. "I think moms back." Caleb says looking out the window.

I also look out to see her and two other people. They look like Caleb's age. The door opens to reveal them. Caleb looks shocked. "Hey.... mama who are them?" I ask kissing her on the cheek.

"These are Ethan and Isabella Caleb met them at school. It was there first day not to long ago." My mom explains. I smile. "So your the Isabella my brothers been talking about." Caleb throws his head back and groans. "Ariella shut the fuck up why are you embarrassing me."

I playfully gasp. "I'm not embarrassing you I'm just trying to connect the dots." He rolls his eyes. "Whatever. What are you guys doing here.?" He asks. "Well your mom decided that we should hang out. Mostly because our parents fight a lot but also because our brother and sister mentioned your brother and sister." Ethan explains.

"Ohh yeah uh Stella and Kai is your guys siblings?" I ask. They both nod. "Yeah now that you guys met were is Daelyn?" My mom asks from the kitchen.

"He's talking to Lily about something important." I say. "Well what's so important." She says turning to me. "It's not my place to say." I say walking upstairs.

"Also." I start. I walk up to Isabella and whisper in her ear. "I can tell my brother likes you. I also know that you like him. If you need help telling him I got you." I stand back upright and smile. She also smiles and nods.

Before I can go upstairs Caleb stops me. "What did you say to her?" I look at Isabella then back at him. "Just some little advice about what you guys have going on." I smirk then finally go upstairs.

Instead of going to my room I go to Daelyns room. I knock and he opens the door. "What do you want." He says. "Let me in and maybe I'll tell you." I say not trying to play the game he's playing.

He sighs knowing I won't give up and let's me in. "Did you talk to Lily." I ask sitting on his bed. "Yea she was really upset. She told her mom, she was not happy at first but she's willing to accept it and take care of it." He explains. I raise my eyebrow. "You guys are keeping it?" He thinks for a minute.
