Brother's Best Friend

Distractions

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile...anyways, I'm back! Let me know what you guys think so far!! I'm so exited to see where this story goes. I love writing this book because I don't even know how it's going to end.

I walked outside, feeling my breathe shorten with each step. Once again, tears filled my eyes. I could hear James' footsteps behind me as I walked. I soon begun to pick up the pace, walking to the swings in the small playground outside the hospital. I sat down on one of the swings, but didn't swing I just sat there, thinking of a time when I was younger when Finn and I used to sit on the swings at night, pretending we were astronauts on rockets, zooming through space.

"Are you okay?" James asked as we sat down on the other swing.

"No, I'm not. Finn is my brother and he's hurt. I want him to be okay," I continue as the tears start to fall, "I want him to play soccer, I want him to go pro like he always talked about, but most of all, I want him to walk again." James just starred at me, 

"Come on Rem, you know he'll be o-" I cut him off jerking myself iff the swings to look him in the eyes.

"Stop! We don't know that he will get better. You heard the doctor as well as I did. He will wake up, but the feeling in his legs may be gone!" By now the tears were dry, replaced with anger. Anger that wasn't really towards James, despite me taking it out on him, but rather the world. Just then I turned to walk away, I needed to walk. No, run. I sprinted down the street, hearing James call after me. I zoned him out, just thinking about putting one foot in front of the other. I was getting winded, but I didn't care. All I had to do to keep going was think of my brother.

Beep! Beep! Beep!  I turned over and slapped my hand on the snooze button to silence it. Despite my wishes, Dad forced me to sleep at home last night and go to school again. He said that one day was enough and that I needed to get back into the swing of things. I wasn't at all ready for the day. By now, I'm sure everyone knew about Finn and I wouldn't get any time today where I was allowed to think of anything other than Finn. Since Finn was just like James, a man whore, girls would be bombarding me today, asking about him.

I slid into my ripped jeans and a flannel with one of Finn's tournament shirts. This one had a picture of a trophy on it and said 'If soccer was easy, everyone would do it and following that, the information about that tournament. It was his favorite shirt, and I decided if I wasn't allowed to see him today, I could at the very least keep him close in spirit. 

I walked downstairs and grabbed a bowl of cereal and headed to the kitchen table to eat. Right as I was sitting down, my phone beeped with a text from Carter

Carter <3: Hey need a ride to school today? I think we should talk alone.

Me: Sure..missed u this week <3

Carter <3: Missed u 2, wasn't as much fun without u.

I smiled. I liked how easy it was with him.

Carter <3: How are u w everything?

Me: holding up...can't wait to see you so you can cheer me up ;)

Carter <3: Oh I will, babe.

I quickly wrote a response, telling him I'd see him soon and blushed at what he called me, it was the first time he had called me anything other than Rem or Remmy. I guess I brought it on though, considering what I suggested.

Carter's car pulled into my driveway thirty minutes later. I ran out to his car, jumping into the front seat, push my backpack to my feet. Looking up I could see he was starring at me with a sad smile.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, it's just that your eyes don't have that sparkle in them like they did..before the incident." I looked up as sad thoughts filled my mind.

"Can we not talk about it." My voice cracked and I looked out the window.

"Hey, I'm sorry." He said grabbing my chin and wiping away the tears with the pad of his other thumb. I looked up and smiled, 

"I'm okay. I just need one thing from you" my voice lowered as I got closer.

"Rem, we don't have to do this now if you don't want. I was only kidding around earlier."

"I want" my voice turned from breakable, to sexy in the time that it had taken him to say that. He widened his eyes at my reply. I stopped with all this slow business, and dove right in. I needed to think about other things. His lips quickly moved against mine. He ran his hands through my hair and I moaned at how good everything felt. I bit his lip softly, asking for entrance, and he answered. Not just with his lips, but down there too. As I noticed that he was getting turned on by our steamy make out session, I decided to make a bold move, jumping over the barrier between the two seats, and sat on his lap. I took one of my hands and reclined the seat back so that we could lay down. His hands moved from my hair to going down my body, his hands going all the way down to my ass squeezing a little, then moving to my chest. He put his hands on my boobs, resting it there. My hands trailed under his shirt and up his abs. He was so strong. Suddenly, he pulled off of me so fast I could feel the cold air rush between us.

"As much as I really want to keep going, I'm afraid we will be late for school." He said, nuzzling his head in my neck. I groaned as he rolled us over and I jumped back into my seat. He looked over at me, smiled, and started the engine. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointment, and I wasn't sure why. Not only that, but unhappy with what just happened, and possible a little used.
