Jealousy (Chapter 11)

"So.. it was all an act? Just for bill to come out of his 'shell' and so that he'll finally realize that he loves me?"

Georg nodded. I looked away from him and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry lor, because if i told you anything about it in the first place, you wouldn't approve." I looked at him and kept shaking my head.

"I wouldn't exactly approve, but i would understand. But it'll be better if me and bill were the one to work on it, we don't need anyone meddling."

Georg pursed his lips and laughed. "And how did that work, exactly?" I raised my eyebrows and scoffed, being sarcastically offended.

"Well, we're actually not gonna see each other again for quite a while.." I looked down, disappointingly.

Georg was surprised then saw the expression on my face and patted my thighs. "Well, as your very handsome big brother --"

I laughed and made an enthusiastic smile. He noticed my reaction to his words then faked a hurt expression.

"I think space isn't what you guys need." And then it hit me. As soon as he said those words, i realized.. we didn't really need space. We had too much space these past few years and it was horrible.

"I mean, let's face it. You and bill bring out the best in each other. Once bill left, bill was definitely not himself, and I know for a fact that you weren't yourself either, Laurie." I looked right back at georg, the expression on my face full of sadness.

"You're right. But.. you're wrong about one thing." I spoke, a curious emotion planting on his face.

"He already told me he loves me and that he wants me." I stopped talking for a second and saw georg, widening his eyes. "And not as a friends way because the way he said it to me was.. different than before." I admitted.

Georg was silent for a couple of minutes then i started to speak. "Georg?" i slowly touched his arm then he made a loud gasp.

"Woah!" I chuckled nervously. "Are you okay, listing?" Georg blinked rapidly then began to look at me. "Sorry, i'm still processing this -- he told you he loves you? and that he wants you?" I smiled awkwardly and furrowed my eyebrows, surprised by his reaction.

"Yes!" I laughed. "What's the problem with that?" I said. His smile starting to grow wider. "Absolutely nothing! But, what'd you tell him?" Oh shit. I looked away trying to avoid his question.

"Oh wow! I didn't realize the sky was gray!" I looked up at the window, paying attention to the sky. "Lor." He said sternly while touching my chin, making me look at him. I slapped his hand away from my chin and started to feel defeated.

"I'm sorry! alright? i told him that i wasn't sure that we were more than just 'bestfriends' and i guess he took it really seriously!" I shouted, unable to look at georg in the eye. "I'm really sorry, but i have my reasons that i'd really much rather die than tell you." I mumbled.

Georg rolled his eyes and sighed understandingly, and looked at me. "Alright alright, I understand. God, just only if he wasn't so famous and doesn't have crazy-possessive-pyscho fans then maybe it would work."

And for another reason.. "Yeah. Maybe it would but not in this universe.." Georg nodded then looked down and turned on the engine.

"It'll be alright. And what do you know? Maybe it can work. We can't exactly see what the future holds." He said, grinning at me before driving off.

He's right, what if I survive it? And what if.. I don't? I put my head down and groaned. Oh, fuck, I don't wanna think of this shit anymore.

I sighed, lifting my head up and turned on the radio, my song 'complicated' playing. Hold on, does georg know?

"Hey! She sounds like you!" He said enthusiastically and started singing the lyrics very loudly and might I say, also very badly. Holy shit, he knows the lyrics!

I laughed so hard at georg almost closing my eyes. "That is me." I spoke, still laughing while he froze and then turned off the radio.

"No fucking.. way!" He happily gasped and patted my back really hard with his right hand while his other hand, focused on the wheel. I grunted and rubbed my back softly. Man! sometimes, he forgets that I'm a girl and the next thing you know, he treats me like a brother and definitely not as a sister.

"Hey! That hurt." I said as I continued rubbing my back gently as he laughed and started asking questions.

"So, what? Did you not want credits?"
He was still smiling very widely, it's actually pretty obvious that he was very proud of me. "Now that I think of it, yeah I do!" We both laughed and georg turned the radio on again then sang really loud and very badly at my song.

"You know, you should've been the one that sang my song!" I said nearly shouting because of the loud radio.
"I know right! My voice is so much better than yours." He sarcastically replied and rolled his eyes then flipped his hair.

"Wow!" We bursted out laughing, but this time, ten times harder than before. "Who knew georg listing can be so sassy?" Georg stopped laughing and smiled extremely confidently and made an 'rrrr' noise.

We kept on laughing for the whole car ride and had interesting but insanely funny conversations. He's so gentle about my feelings, he always makes sure of his words before speaking because he knows I'm sensitive.

I looked outside the car window and made a shocked expression and a gasp. We've arrived. "Damn, I thought we were going somewhere! You actually knew where my house is?" I jokingly punched his shoulder and got outside the car.

"How did you --" "I have my ways." He cut me off and glanced at the house. "Come on, let's go in, I've been dying to see what it looks like inside!"

Georg ran to the house before me and rattled the doorknob to see if it was locked, and it's not. He sighed and turned around to look at me with a disappointing look in his face.

"You don't lock your doors?" He yelled because I was too far away from where he was standing.

I shook my head no, shrugging my shoulders. I was now walking closer to the house and stopped at the front door. "My bad, dad always locks the door so I'm not used to it."

He nodded then his face led to being curious. "Well, it's not --" He rattled the doorknob again which opened the door. "-- locked so where's your dad?" He finished his sentence, with a confused expression on his face.

"Away." I looked away at him and got inside the house. "For a year."
He raised his eyebrows then got even more confused.

He followed me inside and tapped my shoulder. I turned around to look at his face and sighed. "My grandmother is sick." He made a worried emotion and I looked away.

We were having a conversation about my family problems and got distracted by the door knocking.

Georg got up and looked at me for approval. I nodded and watched him walking closer to the door. Is it adella? Or Reya?

Georg opened the door, looking at an surprised but angry bill. Oh fuck.
