Decide when you are done reading. Sorry if the chapter was short! Bye for now chaps!!

FIRST VIEW OF OUR BRYAN ABOVE!! HOPE YOU LIKE!!

***************************

I wake up and take a look around where I am. My slumber was so deep that I forgot where I was. Great start to my morning. Again.

As soon as I get off my bed, my phone rings. I check the caller and see it was Tyler.

"Good morning!" I greet.

"Its afternoon though." He says.

I look at my watch and almoat slip in my slippers. What the fudge? Its two!? I start walking- well running- down the steps and at last reach the end. I hear the continuous 'hello' said at the background.

"WHAT!?" I yell. "Shut up and listen!" Tyler says obviously irritated.

"Yeah.. umm sorry." I say.

"You immediately go to Bryan's house, he is waiting for you there." He says and I almost choke on my juice. I should really calm down now.

"Sorry, umm what?" I ask.

"Lady, you mad?" He asks.

"Sorry! I did not pay attention the first time! And please be faster I'm already late for my work!" I yell at him.

"Go to Bryan's house, he is waiting for you there." He repeats.

"But why?" I ask.

"Umm.. let Bryan tell that to you." He says.

"But I have to go to work!" I shout.

"That's not important right now, Ash! Call your boss and ask her if you could take a leave." He suggests.

"No, I cannot because I don't have a boss!" I say.

"Then call your whatever! Just go to Bryan's house Ashley!" He shouts.

By now we were having a shouting seizure.

"STOP. IT!" I shout at last calming both of us down for some breath. "I am going." I say at last.

"Great.. now.. go.." He says, panting, and ends the call.

I call Rachael and tell her that I had to go immediately somewhere and she says that she was completely fine with it. And so that I won't give her complete load, I say that I would work two shifts for her next. She agreed with that and me too because it really paid up. I didn't like giving my load to anyone and never will like it.

"Can you tell me what's happening?" I ask Bryan, completely nervous.

"Umm.. actually... its my brother's birthday and we wanted to give him a surprise, and now we got a call from the Party Peeps that they got another party to attend to and therefore dear friend, we only have three people at his 25th birthday." He says in one breath.

"Hey, calm down, breathe." I say.

Wait, what!?

Did he just tell me that he called me because we were only less of people in the party?

"Did you just-" I am cut off with three voices laughing at once. I recognise all of them. Megan, Tyler and Bryan. I shoot them all death glares. What the hell?

"Do you know that I left my work in Rachael's hands just because of you guys!" I say- apparently.. yell.

All laugh harder when I finish my sentence. I, who am completely shocked at their response, slap my hand on the couch so hard that it almost breaks my hand. Well, not literally. I groan in pain.

Then when I am ready to start my speech on how stupid all these people around me are, two hands slide around my cheek and onto my eyes covering them completely. "Hello babe!"

I recognise the voice really good and I turn around removing the hands off my eyes.

"Jordan!" I scream, hugging the person in front of me completely.

"Hey, hey.. here.. you'll drop me." He says. As though he really was going to. He was strong enough.

Years. Mere years. Years since I met my elder brother Jordan, just 4 years older to me. I loved him. We fought we cried, we got angry. We were the typical siblings, but were unique in our own way. He never hid a thing from me and nor did I. Even if one thing was not told, it was understood. He knew all my weak parts. Well, he knew me more than I know myself. And so is the other way around.

"So good to see you Ash!" He says, still not leaving my hug. That told me how much he really missed me.

"Same here bro!" I say, tears of joy almost falling off my cheeks to wet the floor. We pulled away after a moment and he looked into my eyes.

"How much did you miss me?" He asks. "You couldn't imagine. Not at all." I answer immediately.

"What? Really? Well let me see then." He says and dangerously comes closer. Closer and no distance. He tickles the hell out of me. I fall over the couch and he still continues tickling me and I roar with laughter.

"Okay okay! You win! Fine! I missed you more than our parents could." I say between my laughter. After listening to my last sentence, Jordan stops tickling me and everyone falls silent. I clap a hand over my mouth. I look at Jordan who was just looking blank at me.

"Its fine! Dont make the atmosphere so heavy now." He says to all of us. I nod in agreement. "Sorry Jord" I say and he envelopes me in another hug.

"Anyways, forget it guys. Let's go somewhere!" He says in excitement and everyone's mood changes. "Come on! Get ready! We are going for a trip in my car!" He says enthusiastically and everyone punches the air above us and start getting ready.

"We're going home to get ready, so you all come over at our house and we will go together." He says. I take his hand and pull him away to the door and he just jerks his hand off from mine. "Don't do that." He says, irritation lacing his voice. If this man in front of me would not be my brother, and would be younger, he would be my boyfriend. He was so awesome! The player of course, but that little softie inside him never left him.

While we are on the way to his bike, I ask him, "I know you were acting about that enthusiasm inside."

His eyes immediately shift to mine and shows an emotion that literally said you-knew-that!?

"I'm your sister Jordan." I remind and smile at him. He was weak at heart when it came to our parents.

"Let's just forget that. You tell me, what are you hiding?" I don't look him in the eye.

"Nothing." I hesitantly say.

"That uncle did something again?" He says, scrunching his face.

I really couldn't bare the anger bubbling in me. I told him everything I ever had in mind about that uncle. So called uncle.

"Oh my god that uncle's getting on my nerves." He says.

"When doesn't he?" I ask.

"I think you really dont need to work. I will send you the money."

"But-" I get cut off by him when he passes me the head gear which I snatch in anger. "No buts. Im sending the money. It also is my house. I can do anything if I want to and so I take the advantage to pay for any bills." He says.

"But, Jordan, you just got the job! What about you?" I ask. "I'll see that myself. And even you got the job just now right? Is it possible for you to pay so much? There are so many bills like-" I cut him off, "Okay! Fine! You pay, I stay. Good now?"

"Much better." He says and motions me to sit on the bike and we roar through the streets to leave.
