I was kind of nervous to talk to Miguel about Sam, but it had to be done, I needed his answer.

I pulled up to his apartments and texted him that I was here. It was a cute little apartment complex, I liked it, it felt very homie.

Miguel go in the car and kind of ogled at the sight of it.

"This is your car?" He ran his hands along the dashboard briefly and seats.

"Yeah, well mine and Sam's car we share it, so what do you wanna eat?"

The question brought him out of his awe "I honestly just want McDonald's right now," good I saw one on the way here shouldn't be too hard to find.

"Okay, McDonald's it is, let's go," I let Miguel play his kind of music all he wanted. He had a lot of old 80's rock bands which wasn't unheard of in my house. Dad always played 80's music on cleaning days when we were really little, but he didn't always play a lot of rock songs. Miguel sang as much as he wanted and I joined when I knew a song, just so he wouldn't feel left out. We pulled up to the McDonald's drive thru and I made Miguel shut up while I ordered our food.

We got our food and sat in the car in one of the parking spots, quietly eating with the music turned down. I swallowed a bit or 2 before I asked him, "Hey Miguel?"

"Yeah?" He took a big bit of his burger.

"Can I ask you a weird question?"

"I guess," he shrugged taking a sip of his drink.

"Do you like my sister?" he choked and coughed on the sip he just took, and I jumped at his reaction. Damn I didn't think it was that bad.

"What?" he choked out still trying to catch his breath and coughing.

"I just... it just seems like you like her," I was still processing his big-ass reaction, handing him some napkins for some of the soda that came out.

"I mean she seems nice, and uh I think she's cute, but what brought this on?"

"Well, after the fight with Kyler, you guys gave each other a little look and I just wanted to know if you liked her."

"Ah what?" he looked at me confused.

I rolled my eyes dramatically "Oh my God do I have to spell it out for you? Like... Like a little look you know," I thought it was obvious what I was talking about. Was he that blind or just dumb?

"I don't know," he sounds unsure and paused for too long that couldn't have been a good pause "...maybe I do." That was the nail and hammer. I knew realistically if they liked each other there was nothing I could do, and it would be selfish to stop them. The look Miguel had on his face when he thought about whether or not he liked Sam told me everything, he had already decided in his heart how he felt.

I took a deep breath in swallowing my pride "Well, if anything happens and you hurt her, I'll fucking kill you," he looked at me with shock, he wasn't expecting that answer. With the look in his eyes the gears were turning, but no one was home. Like he kind of got it but didn't. I rolled my eyes at him again.

"You can date my sister, but you have to promise me that nothing bad is going to happen to where we can't be friends anymore okay?" I was so scared of losing Miguel at this point, I could never lose Sam she was a part of me, but Miguel I wasn't ready to let go of yet.

His eyes glowed with hope "Deal," he was smiling so wide.

"No Miguel promise me," I stuck out my pinky to him for him to take.
