'I loved everything about her you know and thats why I introduced her to my friends'

Without missing a beat I replied to his text with a 'mmhm'.

'And they loved her too' he continued to type, 'and that's why she slept with all of them.'

Almost immediately I choked and bulged my eyes. I leaned a little back to look over at the next table and I could still see Kellan furiously typing.

'And the worst feeling in the world is when you realize you werent really paranoid after all :/ '

At this point I was at loss for words. How does a person exactly comfort their brother when the girl he was in love with ruined more than half of his playlist for him?

Exactly.

I just looked over to him yet again and this time he met my eyes, and I could see him heave an ever so slight sigh.

Almost instantly, Kel just got up from his table and walked over to me. "Lets go for a walk," he declared by placing his hand on my table.

I mean sure, he was my brother and yeah I'll be there for him, but this wasn't a usual offer so I raised an eyebrow. "Whats the catch?". He shook his head in reply. "Nothing. I know you get equally bored as me at these events. Besides, I'm not entirely sure I want to go to sleep tonight with Aunt Lori's drunk dancing vision in my head."

I turned my head to the right to witness Aunt Lori squiggling about with a puke stain on her green satin dress.

Giggling, I nodded my head, "yes please."

xxxxxxx

"So... Astra huh?" I slowly started.

Kellan remained silent and kicked some stones along his path. All I wanted to do was hug him real tight and tell him everything would be okay, but then again he would push me away and ask me to stop being a prissy. Eventually Kellan stopped in his tracks and stared dead into my eyes. "Its not my fault, you know" he started.

"I know" I replied.

And that was the last time we ever talked about Astra.

I guess there is a difference between expectations and reality.
