My best friends brother

29

Roe's POV:
"Okay okay...I just need to think."

"Who's most important in this situation?" Amber asks.

I decided to have amber over tonight since I don't want to talk to Andy yet and I feel really lonely in this house all by myself. I already told her what happened and now we're deciding on what my actions should be.

I grabbed a mini scale that I found in the basement and layed out of pebbles.

"Okay...so on one hand, Andy has always been there for me! And lately I haven't really been there for him so I should defiantly go on this date with him to show him that I do still like him." I put a pebble on Andy's side of the scale.

"But Liz and Kris kinda need my help or else it'll be awkward!" Point Lucas.

"But you also just met Lucas, and YOU ARE DATING ANDY!" Amber says....yells.

Point Andy.

"But Lucas is super sweet and is waiting patiently and is just fine with being friends!" Point Lucas.

"Buuuttttt Andy is super sweet, older so obviously more mature for most of the time, and cares deeply for me." I sigh, point Andy.

"Well do you like Lucas?" Amber asks playing with a pebble.

"As a friend yes! And I don't want to loose that!" I sigh again and out another pebble into his side.

"Okay Roe be serious. You like him."

I look up at Amber with the straightest face I've ever seen.

"What! I do not! I like Andy! You know that!" I laugh. I honestly don't know what to say here. I mean am I attracted to Lucas of course, but do I like him like him...?

"Look Roe. You only know your feelings and I get that. But you have NEVER warmed up to a guy this fast. Not even Andy." She sighs standing up and walking towards the fridge.

"I know...but I can't like Lucas! Andy's been through a lot with me. And he's your brother! I ant just hurt him like that! If I do then do you know how weird it'll be between our two families?!?!"

"Well no duh! But I mean our parents don't even know you two are seeing one another so what does it matter anyway."

I sigh and amber does too. It's true though, our parents have no clue. And they'll be back tomorrow...so that doesn't leave me a ton of time. Cause I know that as soon as they get back I'll have to say something. I just don't know what.

"Roe.." I look up and see amber looking down.

"Don't do it for Andy. Do it for you. If you don't like him anymore, then break up with him. Don't lead him on and flirt with someone else. That's not like you and that would hurt him even more. And if you don't know if you like him or Lucas, still break up with him. He's serious about this Roe. Really serious. For gods sake. He loves you." Amber sighs out and gets up from her chair walking over to me.

"Whatever you choose, I'll be there for you." She half smiles and hugs me. Then leaves.

Great! So now I'm all alone and have no clue what to do! WHAT THE HECK AM I SUPPOSE TO DO!

I want to cry...but I just can't....crying is for babies...but Ive done it so much that maybe it's just become apart of me now.

I never use to cry. I was always very strong and wouldn't let the little things bother me. But now. Now. It's all different.

I feel my cheeks get wetter and my eyes begin to puff up. I suck in big gulps of air and cries come out.

"I CANT DO THIS!" I run over to a cabinet and hurriedly search through it finding a pair of scissors.
