My brothers bestfriend

Chapter 16

(i'm back guys!! Sorry but i honestly rly lost motivation and i've also been rly busy with school. I'll try to update more and make more chapters but honestly I js want this book to be over with. I'm sorry if you guys liked this book but it's gonna be over soon. Tysm for the support tho!!)

It's about 7:30pm and my house is full of family members. Me and all my older cousins and brothers have been "hiding" in my room for basically the whole time. We've only been out it get food and that's it.

I'm not in the mood for company at all. I'm tired my head is still pounding and I miss Jeremiah. I know I know it sounds cringey but it's true. He's been helping his mom all day so he hasn't been answering any of my texts nor Daelyns. I'm guessing his mom is upset that he hasn't been home in a couple days and I completely understand.

My door opens cutting me off in my thoughts and I look up to see one of my baby cousins. "uhm...mommy said that we're gonna play a game." He says as he has a handful of food in his hand and slobber all over his hands and mouth.

We all go downstairs to see everyone gathered around in the living room starting to play a game. After a few rounds I go back upstairs which i'm so glad that no one followed me because I need my alone time.

Once I get in my room I close my door and flop on my bed. I decide to try and call Jeremiah to see if he answers. Thankfully he did but he looks all sweaty and out of breath. "Why are you so sweaty?" I ask him as I smile. "My mom is basically treating me like a slave. She's so upset that I wasn't home and when she's been at work she has to find a babysitter for Lily and she doesn't trust strangers that much."

"Uhm yeah i would be pretty upset too if my child just wasn't home for like a week. I miss you though." He chuckles at my response. "Baby I just went back home today. You'll see me tomorrow at school though." I sigh at his point. "Tomorrow is so far away and I can barely even sleep if I wanted to."

"What's up baby why can't you sleep?" Oh he's gonna regret I asked that. He about to hear me go on a rampage. "Because my cousins and stuff are over and yk how my mom is with people being over she always has to play loud ass music. And then i'll just have to deal with people coming in and out of my room. I literally try to go to bed at 10 because ik i'll wake up in the middle of the night but if i can't fall back asleep i'll at least have a couple hours of sleep. But no I don't even think i'm gonna be able to sleep at all which makes me really pissed because right now i'm sick of people." I finish my whole rampage and he's quiet for a second and then finally speaks up.

"You could always stay with me." It was almost like he said it as a question. "No my mama would never let me." I scoff at his statement. "Just try and ask her. You never know she might have a change in heart." I almost let out a chuckle. "Oh yeah you're funny. You just made me chuckle. You don't know my mama. She's sweet yeah, but she's just really protective."

"Just ask her baby. What's the worst that could happen between us?" I roll my eyes. Now he's really starting to piss me off. "I already told you just drop it. I'm going to bed night."

"Baby no we never go to bed mad at each other. Come one it was just a simple question." He says slightly defensive. Who u getting defensive with? I know it ain't me. "i'm not mad i'm irritated. im going to bed, night." He sighs as he just nods. "Okay goodnight baby. I love you."

Oouuu I know ima regret this later. "mhm love you bye." With that i hang up the phone. I don't know it's something with him. He's always persistent about things it makes me mad. I regret saying that though. I love him so much. Oh my fucking gosh i'm so dumb. Fuck!

I sigh and put my pajamas on. Just a tank top with black shorts, and I go out my head out through the door. "i'm going to bed no one bother me!" I yell out and close my door and plop onto my bed. I plug in my phone and just scroll on tiktok.

A few hours later, it's like 1:27am, I start to feel bad about how I ended things off with Jeremiah. He's so fucking sweet and was js tryna make me feel better. I'm so dumb bro. I hesitate to call him because he might be sleep. Idgaf ima call him.

His phone rings a couple times and he finally answers. "Hi baby i'm still working my mom is really mad at me. What's up tho?" Gosh he's still so sweet after I was an ass to him. "I just wanted to say that i'm sorry for what I said. I know we never go to bed mad at each other i'm stupid. I should've said the 'I' in 'I love you', I should've told you goodnight, sweet dreams like I always do."

"I'm just so stupid and stubborn. I'm sorry, so so sorry. You don't deserve this at all." I can hear him slightly laughing in the background. Is he rly laughing? After I js apologized to him? Hell no. "Baby it's okay. You don't have be sorry. I was being a little too clingy then it was my fault. Im the one who's sorry."

I smile and roll my eyes. He's such an idiot. "Shut up Jeremiah. I love you and i'm sorry." "don't be sorry. I love you way more though."

"Okay shut up because I have to sleep. I love you and goodnight. 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 Jeremiah."

"Goodnight mi amor I love you more see you tomorrow." I smile and hang up then set my phone down. God you really brought me a good man. I turn on my side and start to drift off to sleep.

(Guys i'm backkkk!! Gosh it's been so long. With school and stuff i've been busy but it's finally summer meaning I should update a lot more often. I'm not making any promises but still. But i'm sorry i've been gone so long I didn't mean too. Now it's time for me to go to bed..)
