Life Now///Book 2

Arguments

(Y/N)'s POV

I was starting to feel better. I was still taking some medication to help my headaches. I was still sitting at home, doing nothing. Laurance was at work as well as Garroth. Zane happened to not to have work so he was staying with me. 

"How did you get sick anyways?" Zane asked. He was laying on the ground watching My Little Horsies. I was on the couch partially watching the show. I was scrolling through Pinterest. "Not sure. I just woke up feeling ill." I replied. "You didn't do anything with--" "No!" I cut him off. I felt my cheeks warm up from blushing. I swear to Irene, my brothers can be very annoying when it comes to this stuff. 

"Okay good." Zane said. He and Laurance still have some bad blood. I don't even know what started it, but I'm not gonna deal with it for much longer. "Yeah yeah." I said. Zane turned around to face me. 

"Are you even watching MLH?!" Zane asked. I looked up from my phone. "Maybe." I said hesitantly. Whenever Zane is over, we're always watching MLH. Reruns and the new episodes. I've basically seen every season up-to-date. This is just from spending too much time Zane. 

"Zane, I've seen all these episodes already." I said, putting my phone down next to me. "So?" he asked. "I don't need to watch these again." I told him. Zane usually comes every weekend to binge watch this stuff. "I watch TWD with you. I'm pretty sure you can handle My Little Horsies (Y/N)." Zane replied. 

I guess he's sorta right. 

Zane and I continued to watch My Little Horsies for the rest of the morning. He ended up staying a little longer to watch TWD with me. Laurance ended up coming over after work to check on me. 

Zane was in the kitchen making more popcorn, while Laurance and I were watching TWD. Zane came back with two bowls of popcorn. "Should I really trust Zane with making a bowl of popcorn...that I'm going to eat?" Laurance questioned, putting more emphasis on "I'm". 

"I technically didn't make for you. I made it for my sister, but since you happen to be sharing with her...I can't harm the popcorn in any way." Zane said.

"Zane!" I yelled.

"What?!" He yelled back.

"We're not poisoning Laurance!" I said. 

"It wasn't poisoning! It was slightly harming him!" Zane threw back.

"We are not doing that!" I said. 

"Fine!" Zane huffed angrily.

"Wow...I don't know whether to feel insulted or complimented." Laurance said. "Probably both..." I said. Zane kept quiet and sat down on the other side of me. I felt the tension between Zane and Laurance throughout the rest of the TWD marathon we were having. 

TIMESKIP TO ABOUT AN HOUR LATER

Zane had left after more arguing with Laurance again. Laurance stayed over, but he was still slightly angry. "What is up with you two?" I asked. "What?" Laurance asked, turning to face me. "You and Zane! Why are you two always arguing?!" I snapped. Laurance looked at me a little shocked, considering I just snapped at him. 

I usually don't get angry, but when my boyfriend and brother are having a rivalry as grown men...it's kinda hard not to be annoyed. 

Laurance stayed silent and looked down a bit. 

"Laurance...?" I questioned. 

"Zane and I have been arguing for a really long time. Ever since we broke up. He heard about it and started blaming me for it. I tried to tell him what happened, but he just constantly kept insulting me and being angry at me." Laurance explained. "Even after Vlyad and Garroth were able to tell him what really happened, he still flipped out on me."

I looked over at Laurance who had tears in his eyes. I felt really bad for yelling at him. I scooted as close as I could to him and leaned my head on his shoulder. I looked up at Laurance turned his head so he'd face me. I wiped his tears and pecked his lips. 

"It'll be okay. I'll talk to Zane. He can't really say 'No' to me." I said, smiling. Laurance gave a small smile and nodded before pulling me into a tight hug. I giggled and hugged him back. 

Laurance finally let me go and cuddled up next to him. He had an arm around my waist and his head was on mine. I took TWD off and put on a movie. We watched "Sing" mainly for the songs. We sang along to most of them and danced to a couple others. 

Laurance and I continued to watch other movies and eat popcorn until we ended up falling asleep on the couch.
