My Silly Boy

"Dan is here." Pj slightly opened the guest room door.

"Phil!" Dan pushed Pj out of the way and walked into the room. "You had me worried!"

"Dan, I want time to myself. What don't you understand about that?"

"I don't understand why."

"Really Dan? You try living with someone you're in love with and watching them fall in love with someone else."

Dan was silent.

"All you've done was just brush off my feelings like they don't matter. Do you even care about how I feel?" I slightly raised my voice.

"Of course I do."

"You haven't been showing it. If you respected the fact that I hate Megan, you would at least have the decency to not bring her around me."

Dan sat on the edge of the bed. "When I told you that I wished I could love you... I meant that I do love you. I just can't be with you."

"Why not Dan?"

Dan took a deep breath.

"Megan's pregnant."
