Family

Chapter 3

The next morning I hear tons of loud noises coming from down the hall. I get up to see what is wrong and look at Gigi still passed out with her mouth wide open hanging off the opposite side of my bed.  I open my door and walk down the hall to see Ty rummaging through his stuff holding his head. 

"What the hell are you doing?" I ask rubbing my eyes.

"I'm trying to go to work but my head is pounding and I can't find any of my shit" he says still throwing stuff around. He works at the local golf course and always has to wear a white shirt with khakis and tennis shoes. It's going to be awful for him to have to work outside all day today with a hangover. 

"Well can you keep it down, mom and dad are going to come see what's wrong" I say and as soon as I finish I see my mom coming up the stairs.  She is so beautiful and Ty looks just like her. 

"Are you guys okay up here?" She asks with a concerned look.

"Mom, where are my khakis?" He asks flustered and she puts her hands on her hips.

"Tyler.  Calm down, I put them in the dryer last night before your game, I'll go get them and grab you a glass of water because you my boy are obviously hungover and I'm not even going to ask what you guys did last night. Lindsay, do you and Gigi want some breakfast or are you in the same state as your brother?" She asks with a laugh.  Most parent's are totally against teen drinking but since we're her 4th and 5th children she knows exactly how high school works.

"Yes, I would love some and Gigi is going to need something to eat because I'm sure she won't feel well when she wakes up.  Is Nate still here?" I ask looking to Ty.

"Yeah, he's still asleep though, could one of y'all take him home? I'm already late for work and ugh I feel like shit" He says groaning and I smile a little.  I feel bad that he is hungover but I mean he did it to himself. 

"Sure, I'll just wait until he gets up" I say with a blush, remembering that he wanted to hang out today.  What would we even do if we did hang out though? There is nothing to do around here. 

"Whatever, just get me some gatorade so I can go to work" He says throwing his shirt on and running down the stairs.  I go back to my room and open my phone to see a text from Nate. 

'Hey, just wanted to make sure you still wanted to hang out tomorrow'

I am a little confused. This is my brother's best friend and yes I think I like him but how do I really know? I just met him yesterday.

'Sure, just maybe don't tell Ty?' I reply.  I really hope that doesn't make him mad but I feel no need to make a big deal out of it when I'm not even sure if I like him. 

"Gi, wake up, I need to talk" I say shaking her because I don't know what I should do about this.

"Oh my goodness, why do you have to be so loud" she says rolling over and covering her eyes.

"This is serious, here is some ibuprofen and water.  Take and listen" I say passing her the medicine and water as she sits up.

"Whatever it is cannot be worth this headache" She says but gives me her attention.

"Okay so Nate asked me to go out with him today and I told him I would but I don't think it's a good idea.  Ty is going to be upset and if it doesn't work out I don't want to screw up their friendship" I say rushing my words.

"Okay first, I'm gonna need more ibuprofen, second why are you even worried? Ty is your brother if he doesn't support you then fuck that. Third, I can tell Nate likes you and am pretty sure you like him too, if it doesn't work it doesn't work but I will kill you if you at least don't give it a chance"
