My Brother's Best Friend

Official

     "We should go..." Drew says pulling away from me. We'd been sitting in the parking lot for about an hour now just kissing. I loved the way his body felt pressed against mine and the way his hands felt around my waist. I'd never been this close to a guy and although it scared me, I was enjoying every minute of it. I knew Drew wouldn't try to take advantage of me... I sat up in the passenger seat and adjusted my shirt. Drew glanced at me as he started the car. "You're so pretty..." he says. I smile. In my head, I wonder, Does this make it official? Are we together now? I don't ask though. I just turn up the volume on Joseph's mix CD and let Eminem's Mockingbird save us from an awkward silence. I knew this would be weird. I mean after all, I've known Drew most of my life now all of a sudden we were kissing? It was strange. The idea was completely foreign to me.
    
      When we reached the house, my parents yelled at me for being stupid while Joseph mimicked them behind their back. They didn't notice though because they were too focused on me. Drew was nowhere to be seen. He'd disappeared to his room as soon as we'd gotten here. I didn't argue with my parents, heck i barely even listened to them because all I could think about was Drew. Finally they got tired of yelling and went up to their room to finish unpacking. After they were gone, Joseph walked over to me. "So where did you really go? You look way too weird to have gone over Amber's house unless of course you have a lesbian crush on her." he says.
"I don't know what you're talking about..." I say unconvincingly.
"Did you go see those Douches that were on our back porch the night you got drunk?" That puzzled me for a moment. I'd forgotten all about those guys.
"No, Joseph! I haven't even seen them since that night!"
"Ok, since you won't tell me, I guess I'll have to ask Drew..." he says before walking away. I doubt Drew is going to tell you the entire truth, I say to myself. I change the channel off of boxing grabbing my phone off of it's charger. 50 unread text messages. Some from Amber but most of them from my other friends. I couldn't be bothered with any of them though. This was my last summer with Drew before he went off to college... Everyone else didn't matter. I only wanted to spend time with my favorite boys before they left.

      I spent the next three hours watching reruns of America's Next Top Model and going through the text messages I wasn't going to reply to. Sky i havent seen u all summer, wanna hang out some time? Jensen had texted me. A bunch of us r goin to the movies, wanna come? Katherine wanted to know. I enventually got bored with the texts and deleted them all focusing only on Tyra's voice on TV. Before I knew it, I'd dozed off only to wake myself up early in the morning. I look at the time on my phone. 2:41am. I didn't know why but for some reason I was sad all over again and I hadn't even been thinking about the boys leaving me. I crept up the stairs slowly careful not to wake anyone and reached for my doorknob ready to open the door. Only I couldn't bring myself to do it knowing that the boy I loved was down the hall sleeping. Seconds later I opened the door and felt my way through the dark as if I were a blind person until found the bed. The only problem was, this wasn't my room. This was Drew's room, I needed the warmth of his body to go to sleep and although I'd tried to resist the urge of coming here, I had anyway.

    I took my shoes and my hoodie before pulling the covers back and climbing into bed with. I could already feel his body heat on me. I kissed his lips before snuggling up against him in hopes of sleep. All the while he never opened his eyes. I laid there for a minute wondering what he was dreaming about before I too fell asleep...
