My brother's best friend | Completed |

Nineteen ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"We have exactly two hours and thirty-two minutes until Nick arrives home after football practice." Ricky says as he grabbed a blanket and took place on the couch next to Chloe. "How do you know so sure?" Chloe asked, grabbing the bag of chips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Babe," Ricky laughed, "Nick and I have been best friends since you weren't even born yet," Ricky said. He stared at Chloe and they gave each other this weird look. "That sounds so weird," Chloe said, raising one eyebrow. "It sounded better in my head tho" Ricky chuckled. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"But for real," Ricky said, "after practice he always takes the longest shower and it takes ages for him to get ready... So yeah- let's say we have enough time to watch a movie." Ricky said, wrapping his arm around Chloe's shoulder, to let her lean onto his chest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe put her head on his chest and sighed, "I wish we could be like this all the time" Chloe murmured, putting the blanket over both of them, "I don't even know why my brother makes such a big deal of my love life..." She complained, "like, it's mine, not his... So why does he keep on telling me who I'm allowed to date and who not?" Chloe asked. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"He's just protective," Ricky murmured as he stroke her arm softly, "I kinda understand him. I mean- he has a goddess of a sister" he smirked, "if I were Nick, I wouldn't want horny guys to get to her as well," he chuckled. "Oh how gentle" Chloe said, rolling her eyes and crawling a little bit closer to his face, "guys like you, you mean," Chloe teased. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You are so unbelievable- Chloe Lukasiak," Ricky said, grabbing her by her chin gently, "whenever I try to complement you, you need to teas me. Why do I let this happen?" He asked. Chloe smiled, "because you love me," she murmured, kissing him on the lips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Do I?" Ricky murmured back, "yes, you do" Chloe whispered. Their lips connected again and Ricky pulled her on his lip, his hands moving to her lower back, while Chloe's hands stroke through Ricky's hair at the back of his head. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The two were too caught- up in their kiss that they didn't even hear the front door opening, and that they didn't even hear the footsteps approaching the living room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"What the actual fuck?!" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe and Ricky released from each other in only a fraction of a second, and Chloe felt as her heart was about to beat out of her chest. "Nick I-" Chloe started, but Nick was too mad to let her finish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Nick shouted as he grabbed Chloe by her arm, pulling her away from Ricky. "Wohow- calm down dude, you'll hurt her" Ricky said as he stood up. "Calm down?" Nick asked, a bark of laughter escaping his lips, "you want me to calm down when you're... you're-" Nick said, not finding the right words at this moment. "You fucking pervert!" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nick, he-" Chloe tried again, but again Nick didn't let her finish. "Shut up!" He screamed. "For how long is this shit here going on?" He asked, his eyes roaming from Ricky to Chloe, "huh?" He asked. "Being sick my ass." Nick spat at Ricky. "You need to stay away from my sister." He demanded. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nick, dude..." Ricky said, trying to make the best out of this conversation, "I'm sorry but I love-" Ricky said, but Nick threw his fist in his face, causing Ricky to back off. He almost lost balance but could find backing by the table. "Nick!" Chloe shrieked. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The blonde rushed to Ricky and tears filling her eyes and she stared at Nick, terrified. "Fuck you!" Chloe yelled, "why can't you just listen?" She cried. "Because I don't want to!" Nick screamed, "Chloe, that fucking asshole over there will hurt you, I know him better than you do. Oh my lord I'm so stupid!" Nick said, putting his hands in his hair, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He started to laugh sarcastically and shook his head, "I freaking live with the same guy who's fucking my own sister." He said, his eyes widening in disbelief. Chloe walked over to Nick and with hatred in her eyes, she slapped her brother on his cheek. "Don't talk about him like that" she angrily whispered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"He loves me," Chloe said. "Chloe... it's okay" Ricky said, still trying to make things up, but it was too late for that. "No it's not, Chloe said, "you need to understand, Nick," Chloe cooed, "I love him..." she whispered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Nick's bottom lip was quivering from madness and he stared at his sister through his eyelashes. "Let's go." Nick said, grabbing Chloe by her wrist, "we're out of here." He said, but Chloe pushed his arm away, "no," she said, "we don't go. We don't have anywhere to go, Nick. I'm not going anywhere. Please just try to understand... she asked. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky stood next to Chloe again and took a deep breath, "Nick... come on..." He said calmly, "let's talk about it." He said. Nick took Ricky by his collar and stared into his eyes, and if stares would kill; Ricky would be dead right now. "You make me sick." Nick whispered though gritted teeth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He let go of Ricky and adjusted his jacket, staring at Chloe and Ricky. "fuck you..." he said, walking away by taking big steps. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"both of you." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
