Problems With Love

Chapter 8

Kristen's POV

After the guys leave I run up into my room. I grab my pillow and out of excitement, scream into it, muffling the sound. Brandon Saad was now my boyfriend. the guy who I've been crushing on since before we moved back to Chicago. I felt amazing. I haven't been this happy in forever.

But then I was kind of worried about Kris. After Brandon and I went back downstairs, he was really quiet. He just stared at the TV screen blankly. I didn't know what to think, so I just brushed it off for a while.

A little while later I decided I need to talk to Kris.

Kris's POV

After dinner, Brandon asked me if it was ok if he asked Kristen to be his girlfriend. I really wanted to say no, but I said yes. I knew that they liked each other, and I mean they really liked each other. I just really want her to be happy, even if that means letting her date.

I guess after the whole Jared thing I've been a little over protective. It killed me inside to see Kristen so sad. I love her too much. I mean she is my baby sister.

After the guys left I decided to go upstairs. I took a shower and let my mind roam. I thought about Kristin and Brandon. I started to cry a little bit knowing my little sister was growing up.

Around 10:30 I was lying on my bed watching TV when I heard a knock at my door. "Yeah?" I called. Kirsten slowly opened the door. I sat up. "Hey," she spoke quietly. "Hey," I say back. "Are you ok?" I ask. "Yeah I'm fine but are you ok?" she asks me. I shrug. "Not really," "What's wrong Kris?" she asks. I sigh. "I'm just sad that you have a boyfriend now. I trust Brandon, but after what happened with Jared I guess I haven't really wanted you dating anyone else. It's just that you're my baby sister and I hate to see you so sad and hurt. It killed me inside to see you cry like that and to see you hurt. I don't want to see you like that again," I say letting all my feeling out. I start to cry a little bit. She hugs me tight. "Kris don't worry. I'm always gonna be you're baby sister. It's not your fault Jared was an abussive bitch. But you can trust me with Brandon. He's not gonna hurt me," she says reassuringly. "Thanks Krissy," I say letting go of her hug. "I love you," she tells me leaving the room.

I feel a lot better after that.
