I stayed there for a moment, completely frozen on my spot. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know whether I should crumble the note and burn it, or keep it and cherish it. I stared at the rise once more and exhaled its smell. 

My brother pressing on the horn made me get out of my trance. I turned around and signal him with my index finger to give a minute. I went back inside and rushed to my room. I placed the little note and the rose neatly on my bed. I will decide what to do with it when I get home.

How is it possible that he always finds another way to make my heart melt? I want to say I hate him, but the words don't come out. My stupid heart doesn't allow me to.

I went back outside and into the passenger's seat, receiving a puzzled look from Alec, who's tapping his long fingers in the dashboard, looking at me expectantly.

"So?" he finally spoke. His words urgent. "What was that about?"

I remembered that he doesn't need to know that Nash and I aren't on speaking terms. "Umm, it was Nash's. He can–he can be very romantic" I forced a smiled, to reassure him that it wasn't anything important.

Although it was. His words touched me in a way that I can't help but feel even more stupid for actually feeling happy.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with me?

I think he bought it, since he didn't keep pushing on the subject, and finally turned on the engine.

The rest of the trip to the movie theater was spend in complete silence.

"The movie was awesome!" my brother said, grinning like a happy child. I smiled at him, I love it when he gets excited. His dimples show when he does that ear-to-ear smile and his voice gets all adorably high pitch.

"I know right? The best part was when they were fighting while the plane was nearly crashing down. The slow motion that they did before pulling the trigger was amazing!" I commented. For literally just an hour and a half, my mind was occupied, I felt at ease. I seriously didn't want the movie to end.

After talking and walking for a little bit, we decided to eat at McDonald's in the food court. While Alec ordered for us, I went to look for a table. As I was waiting, I went to my camera roll and checked at pictures I took with Nash.

I know, bad idea. . .But I can't help it. I was thinking in whether or not to delete them. I clicked on one picture. It was just him and I, hugging. I smiled at the memory. It feels like a decade ago, but it was just a couple months ago. I doubtfully clicked on the trash can bin, where the option of deleting the picture permanently popped up. I bit my lower lip, trying to decide. But just when I made up my mind and was about to delete it, Alec arrived with our food.

I think I am going cray. Because I actually felt relieved when he showed up. . .

"Quarter Pounder for the Princess" he said, making a bow jokingly as he placed the burger in front of me. I couldn't help the giggle that's escaped my lips.

We kept talking about the movie, he couldn't stop smiling at me every time we would stay quiet.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked.

"Because" he started, eating one of his fries, "I missed this. . .Us, hanging out together, you laughing, the simple fact that we're not fighting anymore. I hate fighting with you. You're my princess, Gwen" he said. I grabbed his hand and caressed the top of it with my thumb.

"I love you, Alec" I said. He put his free hand over my hand that his holding his other hand.

"I love you too, Gwen" he said.

I am so lucky to have him in my life. Every time we would argue that would tear me apart and it was driving me insane. He's my big brother for God's sake. Without him I would be lost right now. Only he knows how to make me smile and forget about my problems.

"Thank you" I said and found myself sighing in relief. He knitted his eyebrows together in confusion

"For what?" he asked.

"For making me forget about my worries. . .I've been so stressed lately, so thank you for helping me clear my head"

"Of course. I know that this pregnancy thing have been very tough for you lately, specially now that is almost time. Also considering the fact that I've been an ass through all these months" he replied, looking down at the palm of his hands. He bite his bottom lip and held a face with regret. I grabbed his hand tightly, which made him look at me in the eyes.

"You were just worried about me. . .And, even though you got suffocating at times, that just shows how much you love me"

That made him smile widely. I felt happy that I hung out with him. Ever since my argument with Nash, I finally felt relaxed, without much dreadful thoughts. It was just him and I. Brother and sister.

"Thank you too"

"Why?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

"For being in my life"
