(Cole)

Its been almost 3 weeks since Blaze and Alexis talked to each other. That's the longest they ever went without talking with each other, and to my surprise Blaze didn't seem like he cared in a way. Well of course he cared but he didn't put any energy into trying and changing her mind or apologize. And as it turns out Alexis started dating Victor right after their argument happened which is weird because not even a week ago I seen him with another girl with my OWN eyes.

I debated on telling Blaze but he's already had enough going between them and I don't think he would run and tell her anyway since she didn't believe him the first time. The whole situation was sad on her part but on the bright side I can say me and Blaze got a little bit closer because of it. Shocking right?

I talked to my mom about it and she really did help me with making up with my brother and I honestly never felt better.

I was sitting on the couch watching TV with Blaze. We didn't talk much since two nights ago but he's been moping around like a sad puppy ever since him and Alexis argued. I tried to be nice and let him pick out what to watch but even then he's been giving the cold shoulder. I knew I shouldn't have been nice and it just makes me so angry because I tried for the past two days and he's making me regret it.

"Look if you're just gonna sit there and stare at the floor I would've watched my own show." I said angrily. He needs to get over that girl. They didn't date or do anything so get over it!

"My fault.." He looked up at me then started to get up and leave the living room altogether.

I reached over at the coffee table and grabbed the remote and changed the channel to something I wanted to watch. He has to snap out of whatever little issue he's having and come back to reality. Besides it's her dumbass fault for not believing him, he only tried to help so that's on her.

As I was watching my show I heard someone coming into the living room. I was laid out on the couch not caring who it was. But if it was Blaze I was just gonna leave him be because I didn't have time for him to be in his little mood around me.

"Hey sweetie.."I heard my mother's sweet voice say.

She sat down on the love seat couch across from me and smiled a little. I sat up and greeted her back. Me and my would be close but she gives most of her attention towards Blaze too damn much.

"How's your brother been doing?" She asked me. I just shrugged. He's her favorite son why doesn't she know how he's doing? Why she gotta ask me?

"I guess he's okay. He ain't kill him self." I said with a hint of attitude but between her and my brother they were both interrupting my show that was on.

She sighed before speaking. "He told me you talked to him a couple nights ago. That was really nice of you." I shrugged again not really knowing what to say.

"I felt bad..that's all" There was nothing much to it.

"No..I think it was something else. You two haven't gotten along even as kids. What made you change your mind now?" She asked looking at me trying to see my reaction.

"I felt bad that's all." But she gave me that 'i know your lying' look. I sighed and sunk back into the couch a bit shaking my head.

"I honestly don't know..I just never seen him like that and it just made me feel some type of way. Which is weird because I usually want him to feel bad. You know?" I finally had the courage to make eye contact with her and she just got up from her seat and sat next to me on the couch.
