Harsh Words

"Hey, I'm really sorry Jake. I fucked up." Y/n said again reaching over the table snatching one of Jake's fries and dipping it in his McFlurry before taking a bite.

"What did you do now?" Jake quipped, swatting at her hand.

"I ruined your relationship with your brother."

"You really think that?" He asked, eating a spoonful of his McFlurry.

"Yeah, I mean you guys wouldn't have gotten into a fight if it weren't for me not thinking my shit through."

"You look like shit, did you sleep at all last night?" Josh asked, watching as Jake shuffled out of his bedroom towards the kitchen.

"That's a great question. Did you?"

"Slept like a baby." Josh replied, making Jake stop in his tracks.

"Before or after your girlfriend left?"

Josh's eyes widened, and he immediately straightened up.

—

"We probably would've found something to fight about." Jake said, shrugging his shoulders.

"I don't like that it was over me. It's one hundred percent because of me and that's fucked. It should be over shit like the last piece of pizza or not doing the chores." She said, readjusting in her seat.

"Honestly, I think it was bound to happen sooner or later. It's no big deal."

"I haven't spoken to you in weeks, there has been no communication, even at work we barely talked, it felt like kind of a big deal."

—

"What the fuck?" Josh

"Yeah Josh, what the fuck?"

"Why are you getting pissy here? You obviously don't have anything to be upset about." Josh said, settling back into the couch.

"And why is that huh?" Jake asked, stepping towards the couch,

"Maybe because you just fucked your fifth girl this week. Not to mention that it was Y/n!" He continued, coming to a stop at the arm of the couch, his eyes glaring down at his brother.

"It's none of your goddamn business who I'm getting with. Fucking prick. You still didn't answer my question." Josh said, standing from the couch.

"Why shouldn't I get pissy about it, she's my best friend!"

"Let her do what she wants then! Why are you acting like you fucking own her?"

"I don't, I just give a shit that you're treating her like some sort of play thing."

"If she didn't like it I know damn well she doesn't have a problem telling me how she feels, she sure as hell likes showing me how she feels." Josh said, a cocky smirk forming on his face.

"God, you're such a fucking pig. You go after any girl that looks at you just for a quick fuck and then you drop her like she's rotten. Do you have any idea how distant and weird Y/n has been lately and I thought it was me? No it was because you've been fucking around with her and toying with her emotions because you're a douchebag and have no concern for anyone else's well being besides your own. Inconsiderate fuck." Jake said, closing the distance between them.

"You're assuming a hell of a lot here Jacob, if she's been weird and distant maybe it's because she's more interested in me than you."

"Is your head really that far up your ass?"
