"Bro, Devon you need to come, it's Zachs' birthday," I say literally on my knees for him to come with me. Zach is our best friend, he can't skip his best friend's birthday. Plus, I need someone to drive my drunk-ass home after the party because there is no way in hell, I am staying over at Zach's when his sister is living there with him. But Devvy Boy always needs to be daddy's little princess and will probably say no like the last dozens of parties he has declined. But too bad daddy is dead now, so there's no one to give him attention.
"It's Zach's birthday!" I shout this time, gripping his shoulders and shaking him like a rattle.
"Do you hear me?" I shake him one last time before he pushes me aside and he takes a step back, pushing his glasses up with his index finger.
"It's Zach!" I shout, again.
"I heard you the first time Alex, and I will not join you to a birthday party." He answers, turning around to continue with his device of some sort. Nerdy Devon.
"Devonnn" I drag his name, hanging my arm over his shoulder.
"Alex, no. You need to come to your mind that we need to use all of our free time to our advantage" he continues with the "denying" of his. It's just a day, if the multi-millionaire can't take a little break for himself then I'm going to make him get a little break.
"We've worked on this for a dozen years now, take a rest, Devon," I say, giving him a brotherly shake on the shoulder before he yanks my arm off him.
"Am I supposed to pretend that you know what a dozen is?" He says as a little laugh escapes his mouth. How dare he think that he's the jokester?
"Of course, I know what a dozen is, I'm not that stupid either!"
"Then tell me what it is." Suddenly before I could answer him, a wild Nathaniel escapes the jungle and interrupts us.
"Stop arguing!" He shouts, pushing himself in between us, making a loud silent gap.
Nathaniel is always in the middle to save everything like the hero he is, how amazing of him. Instead of saying anything to Devon like I usually do, I'll just ask Nathy Boy to join me.
"Ben, you're coming with me to the party," I say this time having my arm around Nathaniel's shoulder.
"Uhm–" Nathy boy whispers in a questioning way before Devon the party pooper needs to interfere with our conversation.
"No, Nathaniel isn't taking care of you when you get wasted." He says, pulling Nathan to him.
"No, he's coming with me" I pull Nathan back.
"Nathaniel, do not listen to Alex, please do recall last time?" Devon can't bring back stuff that happened a long time ago but he still did and pulls Nathan to him, but still you could call me immature before but I'm much more mature now than ever!
"Nathannn, you need to take a break, right?" I pull Nathan roughly to me with his arm.
"No, stay home." Devon pulls Nathan, but before he can pull Nathy to him, I take Nathan's other arm and pull him to me.
"No come with me," I say, pulling harder.
"Don't listen to him!" Devon pulls again
It's like we're playing tug of war but this time the rope is fragile Nathaniel.
"Jesus Christ, can you guys stop!" He suddenly yells this time, yanking both of our grips away from his body as his hands form into fists like he's ready to punch us in the face.
Devon and I stay silent, shocked over Nathan's actions. He stood up for himself.
"We work our asses off now and go to the party later, done." Damn,
