The Push Away

I Tooted!

"I asked first!" We say at the same time again. I groan.

    This can't be happening.
    He starts to walk towards the back door making an escape. As much as I wanted him to leave and not see Jacob I wanted to know why he was here.

   "Lio, you get your ass here now!" I yell, which was a big mistake considering Jacob heard. I hear a thud in the living room and I run towards the doorway to the kitchen and close it.

    Julio looks at me with suspicion and slowly walks my way. He raises an eyebrow.

    "What was that?" He asks. I start to have a mini panic attack and say the first thing that comes to mind.

   "I tooted!" I yell. I hate the word 'fart' so I always say toot, don't judge me.

    He scoffs at me then smirks.

   "You have a guy here." He says matter of factly. I stop. I just freeze.

    "Dad is gonna kill you!" He starts to laugh. I get extremely confused.

    What? He's not mad? He thinks this is amusing? Now I'm mad.

   "You know you have a lot of nerve Julio." I say ready to speak my mind when I hear the kitchen door open. Jacob looks at me, then my brother.

   "Who the hell is this?" Jacob asks confused. Julio steps up intimidatingly, but Jacob just stands there.

   "Who the fuck are you? Drew! Who the fuck is this?" Julio says angrily.

    "He's someone who helped me out this morning AND gave me a ride home last night." I say angrily.

    "I fainted in school today and instead of calling you guys, sense I already made you late, Jacob was kind enough to take me home and make sure nothing like that happens again." I say even more angrily because Julio didn't have the right to be rude to Jacob even though Jacob's an asshole...a helpful one.

    Julio looks down seemingly ashamed of being rude then looks into Jacobs eyes, intently.

   "Sorry man, thanks for looking after my sister. What's your name?" He says. Jacob gives him a slight smile.

   "Jacob." He says all husky. He sticks his hand out for a shake and Julio gladly takes it.

   "Julio." He says referring to his name.

    After an awkward silence. I clear my throat and shoot daggers at my brother.

   "What the fuck are you doing here, asshole?" I say to him demanding an
answer.

   "Chill, Mija! I just...I wasn't feeling it today, okay?" He tells me thinking its over with.

    "Not a good excuse!"I yell. Is he stupid or something?

   "I-I don't wanna talk about it, okay?" I frown, but drop it.
Jacob frowns at me and nudges me with his elbow.

   "Can I go home now?" He whispers. I furrow my eyebrows, which makes his eyebrows deepen in a frown.

   "Why the hell are you whispering?" I say slightly over an inside voice.
He frowns even harder.
"I don't know!" He yells back. I can't help but laugh though. Its extremely funny seeing someone who smiles all the time, frowning so hard.

   He frowns even harder which makes me cringe.

   "Gosh, mijo you'll get frown lines!" I say while laughing at the same time. His frown goes away but a confused look spreads across his face.
