Spencer's never been the possessive type. He's got two younger brothers that robbed him of friends, toys, and anything else they could get their hands on. But they always lived by an code when it came to the likes of women. If the other brother has touched it, it's off limits. It was something they all followed, and Chris was in violation of that. Chris knew that Olivia belongs to Spencer. Chris climbed back in the cruiser after kissing Olivia goodbye on the cheek. Him and Spencer sat in silence, trying to assemble their thoughts. Once their out of clear view from her place, Spencer throws the car into park, turning to him.

"Yo what the hell?" 

He asked, masking how shocked he was.

"Were long overdue for an conversation"

"Talk all you want, I have nothing to say to you" 

Chris glowered shifting in his seat.

"We know where we both stand"

"Is that right? Cuz I don't think you actually know where I stand" 

Spencer taunts.

"You're pissed I already know"

"Ya damn skippy I am!" He bellows.

"Out of all the girls you could go after, I can't believe you'd go after her, Her!" 

Chris wiggled his brows, with an smirk to his lips.

"Nobody went after her. You let her go and I was around to catch her after you threw her away"

"Come on man, you know like I know who she belongs to"

"Bruh you're not getting it" 

Letting out barks of incredulous laughter.

"This is an game to you? I'm tryna take something that's yours like were in high school? She doesn't belong to you. You had your chance, and you blew it" Chris sneered.

Spencer tried slowing the growing anger coursing through his body.

"We've known each other too long, Chris" 

Chris nods apprehensively.

"We have"

"Were friends, right? Friends don't do this"

"I haven't done anything. You two aren't together"

"So because were not together, you decide to pursue her on an technicality? How you think that's gonna go down? You think she's just gonna throw away all of our years together for you? Yeah, were not together right now, I'll give you that but your dumb if you don't think feelings aren't still involved" Chris shook his head objecting.

"Spence, you keep focusing on the past. I'm not interested in the past, my mind's set on the future" 

Rage begins to cloud Spencer's vision. Clenching his fists tightly. From the corner of his eyes, Chris tenses up.

"There's no future for you and Olivia. We both know that so don't even go there. If she has feelings for you there'd be no reason to hesitate. So, why are you going through wit it?"

"What does that matter?" 

He questioned with irritation lacing his tone.

"I'm not walking away. I like Olivia. A lot actually, and she deserves better than what she'd gotten from you"

"That's neither here nor there. You say you care about her, make it easier. We know who she loves. It's not you." 

Spencer quipped, pointing his finger at his chest.

"Do you hear what your saying? It's not up to you. This is her choice, not yours. I didn't hurt her and mess with her head, that was all you"

"Fuck you"

"Nah, fuck you, Spencer. You had all the time in the world to claim her and even after she's ended things with you, you think you can dictate who comes and goes? That's not fair to her!"

"I'm not trying to make the choice for her!"

Chris folds his arms across his chest, bumping his head.

"I don't know what you want me to say. I didn't plan any of this. I did an lot of back and forth on whether or not I should go after her"

"You shouldn't have" 

Spencer finished for him.

"And what you're doing right now is any better?"

"No, it isn't. I just don't know how to live without her" 

Chris tapped his finger at Spencer's chest, seeing the determination shone in his eyes.

"Get used to it my guy. I'm not giving up, unless she tells me to. You ruined your chance, this one is mine"

"We ain't friends" 

Spencer says directly.

He pulled into Chris's driveway, turning off his brake lights.

"She'll never love you, Chris" 

He blurted out the words as Chris opened the door.

"Look, I'm not tryna be an asshole, but I know her. She's tryna be strong by staying away from me and pushing me away, but you don't understand what we had before. You can try to give her what you're thinking she wants, but when it all comes down to it, it's gonna be me she sees when she goes to sleep at night. So please, enjoy the time you do have with her, cuz you won't be there for long"

Chris didn't bother to respond, slamming his door, hopping out the vehicle. Olivia is the one Spencer needed to convince, not Chris and that's what he planned to do.
