Emotions are what makes us human, especially love. Caring for other individuals keeps our humanity intact. But, what's Peri to think when the very fervor she's been dreaming of feeling for another human being, is incited by her half brother Nathan...
Just to give you guys a heads up I'm planning on ending this book in like ... 3-5 more chapters. I still haven't worked out how long it's going to take me to end the story how I want it written.

"Ah, the infamous pizza guy line, it's such an honor to be able to say that you've used it on me." - Eli
"Why would he do that, he basically guilted you back into having feelings for him! I mean, if I found out that my ex and I broke up for no reason, then I'd regret that shit." Farrah told, before taking a sip of her Snapple. I had just informed her of the talk I had with Roman yesterday, and she wasn't happy.
"I don't think guilt was his intention, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt, since he was pissed drunk when he told me." I decided.
"Never give men the benefit of the doubt, we never deserve it." Asher started from my right, "Wait, does he know about Athan-Nay?" and then started to speak in pig latin.
"Does he know about what?" Farrah questioned, not being aware of how to translate the language.
"I spoke in code for a reason." Asher replied.
"Well–" Before she could respond indignantly, I stopped her by putting my hand out. There was no use in her going back and forth with him, the two could go on for hours.
"No, he doesn't," I finally answered. "or at least to my knowledge."
"Okay, good, because if he did, then he probably only would've told you that to get you to choose between them. Men do that, I would know." Asher informed.
I didn't say anything else, even though Ash was expecting me to. I guess Farrah was as well, which is why the two turned to me when I fell silent. The air felt awkward, so I looked down at my food for as long as I could. That was before one of them tapped me, and made me confess.
I guess Asher knew more than I thought he did.
"Nathan is the one telling me to chose, he's kind of not talking to me since I apparently can't make up my mind." I report, thinking back to how upset he was after he overheard the conversation between Roman and I.
"Oh my gosh, it's like The Bachelor!" Asher and Farrah cheered in unison, clearly thinking the same thing. I just rolled my eyes, because it was so like them to associate this situation with that show. Instead of, you know, taking it as seriously as they should.
"Only ... Nathan knows that he's on the show, but Roman doesn't." Farrah spoke past me, and to Asher, who agreed with her loudly. They then started to make more analogies and compare the boys to past contestants, so I got up with my tray.
I walked away in order to throw it out, but also, to clear my head. They weren't making it any better by fangirling over television shows. As soon as I threw the trash away, I was tapped on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw Eli, someone who I haven't spoken to in months. He had this smile on his face, and the fact that it was so cheeky made me smile too.
