@username09: 🔥🔥🔥"You know I'm getting really tired of this." I turn my head away from the phone as she dangles it in front of my face.
"Because it bothers you." She states, making my heart sink.
"Julissa, stop doing this. Your sister and I are doing fine." I plead.
"I'm just pointing out the obvious, look at these comments."
"I'm going back into the room." I shake my head, pushing the phone back towards her as I begin walking away.
I make my way back towards Andie's room. Julissa says something that makes me stop in my tracks.
"Don't you think she'll find someone better?"
I ignore her, brushing off the chills that spread throughout my body, and walking back towards the room. I stand in the hallway, in front of door, trying to put myself together before walking in.
For the last couple of months, Julissa has used every opportunity she has to tell me things about Andie and I's relationships. She always makes me feel like I'm not good enough for Andie, or that Andie is going to cheat on me. Or that she's going to leave me. It's driving me insane, but I don't want to tell Drea about it. I don't want it to seem like I'm trying to break her, and her sister apart.
I open the door; Drea is lying in bed, on her phone, and I can't tell if she's FaceTiming someone, or on Instagram live. She gasps dramatically as she sees me. She's on Instagram live.
"It's my boyfriend!" Drea gasps, excitedly, grinning up at me.
"Hey..." I smile at her, awkwardly, trying not to make it seem like something was wrong. She frowns, her brows furrowing.
"What's wrong?" She asks, glancing at her phone.
"Nothing, I was trying not to yawn."
Wow, what a lame excuse. I could tell Andie didn't believe me, but she let it go.
"Okay. Come lie down with me! I'm live!" She pouts out her bottom lip, patting the spot in the bed next to her.
I smile, plopping myself down on the bed, and landing partially on Andie, making her giggle. I reposition myself, crawling up, and resting my head on her chest, so I was barely in the frame. I watch as she continues her livestream, occasionally partaking, but mostly just getting my hair played with by Drea.
"Give us some questions guys." Andie says, glancing down at me as she runs her hands through my hair.
"David when are you cutting your hair?" Drea reads off of her phone.
"I don't know, maybe next week." I shrug.
"No!" Andie objects, pouting a little.
"Why?" I laugh, looking up at her.
"I like your hair long." She smiles, running her fingers through my hair.
"You do?"
"Yes. It gives me more to pull." She snickers, mischievously.
"Babe." I mumble awkwardly, feeling my cheeks heat up as I blush.
"Don't be so shy, babyboy."

Andie ended the livestream, and we stay, lying in the same position. We begin talking, like we usually do, about everything and nothing in particular. I don't know why, but I decided to ask:
"Do you think you'll ever leave me for someone better?" I blurt out, idiotically, my cheeks turning red.
"What?" Andie asks, sitting up, and staring down at me.
"Nothing. Never mind." I shake my head, sitting up to face her.
"No, David, why would you ask that?"
"I don't know." I shrug, trying to brush it off as tears well up in my eyes.
"No, what the fuck. Why are you crying? Did someone tell you something?" Andie asks, her brows furrowed, and I could tell she was getting upset.
"No! I-I've just been getting a lot of tweets about it." I lie, avoiding eye contact.
Drea grabs my face, slightly squishing my cheeks together as she makes me look up at her.
"Bubba, I would never even think about being with anyone else. But David, if something is going on, I need you to come talk to me about it. I'm not gonna have you going through it alone." Drea says, sincerely, making sure I was listening to every word she said.
For a second, I thought about telling her about all the stuff her sister has been telling me. Instead, I stayed quiet, only nodding. She gives me a quick kiss before wrapping her arms around my shoulders.
"I'll always be here for you, David."
