My (Brothers) Best Friend

What??

We got to my house and went in. I changed right away into sweatpants and a crop too then I took my makeup off. Then I went back downstairs and grabbed chips and 2 cokes I sat down in the couch Mason looking for a movie.

"What are we watching?" I asked.

"I don't know, that's why I'm looking" he said I roll my eyes opening the chips and taking some and shoving them in my mouth.

"You good with something scary?" He asked I nodded. "Ok, how about strangers?" He asked I nod again he puts it on.

I look around the house and out of the windows to see if I see anyone. I like scary movies but this one always gets me because it's based on a real story.

"Calm down, you live in a public area" Mason said nudging me.

"I'm calm" I mumble. I take a sip on my coke. I look at Mason he's eating chips not looking at anything. Then I think back to the end of the day and what we were talking about. I didn't get what?

"Question" I mutter he looks at me and nods. "What did you mean I didn't get it, after school when we were arguing why don't I get?" I asked still bothered by it. I'm that way I have to know things he sighs.

"You're still bothered by that?" He asked I nodded. "It's really nothing" he tells me.

"You'd seemed pretty frustrated so it must be something" I exclaim he's looking at his hands which are on my legs that are on his lap.

"It actually wasn't" he said.

"Mason, we aren't doing this" I said.

"You don't get it that's what I said, and you don't so there why would I tell you something you don't get?" He asked.

"Because I want to get it, if that sounds right" I said.

"Ugh why do you even care it's me" he groans.

"Exactly, its you idiot why wouldn't I care" I blurt he looks at me with raised eyebrows. "You are my brothers best friend" I add quickly. That was weird.

"Literally Mads it's nothing though" he tells me.

"I don't believe that, why can't you tell me?" I asked.

"Because I can't!" He exclaimed now frustrated.

"Why!!" I groan. He runs his hands through his hair.

"Because Maddie" he said with a sigh.

"I won't stop until you tell me" I say he looks at me annoyed.

"Why do you need to know?" He asked.

"Why can't I know?" I asked back.

"Because" he mumbles.

"Because why!" I said my voice louder taking my feet off him. "It's not so hard just tell me!!" I urge.

"I like you Maddie...there! are you happy?" He asked looking at me then down again. My lips part. No.

"No" I said he looks at me again and nods. "You can't tho" I state.

"Why?" He asked his voice low and soft.

"Because you're my brothers best friend," I reply simply. "It's weird and, that's weird and we...we fight, bicker don't hate each other but not like each other" I said.

"Well isn't that too bad" he mumbles bitterly.

"Why?" I asked. He gives me a confused look. "Why do you like me?" I asked.
