from me. [unrequited part 1]

16.

dear quinten,

"hey, baby sister" he grinned once he saw me.

slowly turning my head to face him, my eyes widening. wandering over his familiar figure where he grew an inch or two. a stuble slolwy making it's way visible to his chin & his hair longer than the last time. a few bags covering under his eyes, showing clear exhaustion.

gulping down the remaining pop tarts in my mouth. anxiety slowly hits me.

rolling his icy blue eyes at me, "well aren't you gonna something to your brother?" he told as he dropped his bags on the floor.

"i-um-uh" i stumbled my words, as the sounds of jake & finn from the tv fades in the background.

"i-i have homework to d-do" standing up whilst quickly shifting to the stairs.

"oh" i heard him say.

"yeah" one step up.

"well um, y-you do that. i'll just um-" two steps up.

"..." another step.

"wait" pause.

"h-how've you been?" hesitation

"good." making my way to my room.
