Life As We Know It

Chapter Nineteen(:

With that, we left his apartment. I basically begged him to take his car, because I hated his truck! He agreed willingly! I loved having him as a boyfriend. He was perfect in almost everyway, with a few flaws here and there, but thats what makes him perfect! We were almost to his brothers house. I was kind of nervous. Not because it was his brother, I was nervous because I didnt know anyone there, and I didnt know if someone was going to hit on Derek.We pulled into his brother's driveway, and I was kind of relaxed, but kind of not in the same way. I was focused on midnight when Derek and I would kiss. I didnt really understand the importance of him kissing me on the roof t midnight, but I guess it was important to him, so I had too. 

"Are you ready?" he asked

"Ready as I will ever be." I said

He brabbed my hand, and we slowly walked from the car to his brother's house. I really wanted to know what the importance of the kiss on the roof at midnight was. So, I spoke up and asked him.

"Hey babe." I said

"Yes,dear?"

"What is so important about us kissing on the roof at midnight?"

"Oh, umm, you will just have to wait and see."

"Oh,okay then."

"Are you alright babe?"

"Yeah, just nervous, thats all."

"Oh, well dont be." 

We walked in, and his brother was greeting people at the door.

"Jocelyn, you look beautiful as ever, and brother you look well,come in." he said.

"Thank you." I said.

"Yeah yeah." Derek said pulling me away from him.

He pulled me to the living room, sat me down and left me. I dont know what his problem was but he better have knocked it off then. I wasnt here to sit all night. He walked up the stairs and I heard a door shut. I got up from the couch and went up stairs. All of the doors were open but one, I knocked on it lightly.

"Who is it?" He said in an annoyed voice

"It's me."

"Me who?"

"Jocelyn."

"Go away!"

"Fine! I will take your car home and leave you here and you wont get your kiss at midnight on the roof!"

"Go ahead."

"Fine I will!" I said in a teary voice.

I went down the hall crying my eyes out because he didnt care if I left. Maybe I was wrong to of even thought that I could marry that boy just after a month. I was so upset, that I fell on my knees against the walls crying. His brother came up the stairs, and turned towards me. 

"What's wrong?"

"Your brother is being a real douche." I choked out

"What did he do?"

"Well, he led me to your couch, left me there alone, went upstairs into that room, and when I asked if I could come him he told me to go away. So I asked him if I should take his car and leave him here and he told me to do it."

"Wow, did you upset him before?"

"Not that I know of, it all happened after you were joking with us at the door."

"Come here. I will hold you while you cry."

I leaned into him. He put his arms around me while I sobbed and sobbed. I think I cried for actually 45 minute, close to an hour.  I just couldnt stop crying.
