My Greatest Decision.

{Chapter One}

Today is my Best friends Ellie's birthday. She was my next store neighbor before we became best friends. She moved in when I was a freshman in high school from Australia. Her older brother, Jai on the other hand, well we don't get along at all. He is cocky, arrogant, and downright annoying. I don't know how Ellie could be related to him; she is sweet and kind hearted.

I walk into the bar that Ellie's party is supposed to be at, "So look who decided to show up." I roll my eyes and when I look up and see Jai standing in front of me. I reply "I wouldn't miss this for the world." He replies with a chuckle "You just going to be a party pooper. You don't even drink." I smirk when the bartender hands me a gin and tonic. I say thanks to the bartender and Jai walks away. After some drinks in me Ellie has to drive me back to my house.

The next morning I wake up to see Ellie sitting on my couch crying. "What's the matter?" I say she replies " It's just stupid." I reply "You know you can tell me." She replies "Well you know that we came from Australia.." I nod and she continues "and you know that I married Jackson so I have me green card. Well my brother doesn't have his, He has to get married or he will be sent back to Australia. He will lose his upcoming acting jobs and he wont be able to come back for a couple of month up to a year." I couldn't help but smile getting him far away from me. she catches me smiling and says "stop. I know you guys don't get along but he is my big brother and his family and friends are up here." I get up and go into the kitchen to make myself and Ellie some Chai tea, she follows. I say "Why don't he just marry some actress? Problem solved" She replies "They won't let him because they will know he just marring her for his green card." I just nod reaching for a mug. "So I was thinking ..." I place the mug on the counter and turn around and look at her. She continues "that maybe you would... " I cut her off "are you asking ME to marry your brother?" she looks at me with a creepy smile. I say "NO! Absolutely not." She replies "can you at least think about it." I reply "Why me? We can't even be in the same room and I am supposed to marry him?" i sip my Tea and she says "don't act like you don't think he hot." I start choking. Ellie leaves because she has to get home to her man. I on the other hand had to shower and go groceries shopping.

It's been eating at me all day, how upset Ellie was as losing her brother. She is my best friend I don't like when she's upset or hurting and I know she is going to be so upset losing Jai for a year. Then I think about the Courtney's losing their son. Ellie was right the Courtney's love me just like I was their own daughter; I mean I get along with all of them except Jai. Even if I did decided to marry him would he marry me or laugh in my face? I shake all these thoughts out of my head and try to focus on Groceries shopping.

Later on I walk into Ellie's house, "Ell I am her!?" "she's not here" I her from the kitchen I walk in and see Jai trying to get the stove to light. "Where did she go?" I ask he replies "Doctors check up." I nod and say "do you need help?" he just looks at me "Why aren't you making fun of me for not being able to turn on the stove." I just shrug me shoulders and say "turn it to the right slowly." He does and it lights. I sit on the stool in front of him. After a couple of minutes of awkward silence "so Ellie told me that you have to get married or go back to Australia." He looks up at me and says "so are you here to through a party?" I reply "no." I look away from him. A few minutes of more awkward silence and Ellie and Jackson walk in. "What going on why are the two of you so quiet and not at each other's throats? And why are you eating all my food, Jai." he replies " I have to go to the Grocery store and I don't want to hear it from mom, that I need to start eating healthier." I giggle. Ellie rolls her eyes. "So did you think about what I said earlier?" she asked me I replie by nodding and Jai says "What are you talking about?" I look at Ellie she looks at me than at Jai and says "Nothing." he replies "sure. I know you, Ellie I am your brother." I get up and walk into the living room where sat Jackson watching Tv. "sup Brooklyn." I giggle and say "sup Jackson." He giggles and sit next to him.

In the kitchen (Ellie's Pov)

"so did you find anyone to marry?" I ask my brother he replies "no. and Im really not looking." I reply with a sigh "Jai you need to get married. You want to lose your upcoming roles and maybe even your career?" he just looks at me "where am I going to find a women that will marry me in 2 weeks..?" I smile wide at him and he replies "NO! Hell no!" "Oh come on, Jai. she isn't that bad is she. Mom and Dad LOVE her." I say he replies "So. She is a party pooper and we don't even get along and you want us to get married?" I nod with a goofy smile on my face. "you already asked her didn't you? that's what you meant by did you think about what I said ." i reply "maybe." He looks at me like he's going to kill me but then it loosens up when he asks "What did she say?" I was to reply when Brooklyn walks in.

"I'm heading out." she says I reply "okay. Have a good day at work." She gives me a hug and I hug her back and she says "bye Jai." he replies with a mouth full of food "Bye dork." She rolls her eyes and say "pig" on her breath. he replies "I heard that and I am not." I reply "will you to stop and marry each other already." She replies "not in his wildest dreams." He replies "I'll pass." She rolls her eyes and walks out. "Jai, why can't you be nice to her for once?" I say he replies "She started it by calling me a pig." I reply "I do have to agree with her on this one your mouth was full of food and you called her a dork." He takes his last bite. "please will you at least think about it marring her." he rolls his eyes "you got to be kidding me right?" I reply "oh please please please pleassssssssssseeeeeeeee!!!" he sighs and says "fine all think about it. but what did she say?" I reply "she said she'll think about it." he replies "why? I thought she hated me." I reply "she doesn't hate you, you just annoy the hell out of her." he sighs and say "I guess I'll think about it I don't have much of a choice do I?" I shake my head 'no.'
