Ily, You Idiot.

I woke up to see an empty apartment yet again. This time though, there was no note waiting for me.

He probably went to school.

Wait- if he was the first one to wake up, he saw how we ended up sleeping during the movie right?

Wow, wonder how he reacted to that.

I looked at the time, almost 12.

Maybe I'll go out for a bit? Oh wait I forgot about breakfast. I'll go out and get breakfast, yeah that sounds good.

I quickly got my wallet, fixed my hair best I could in 2 minutes and walked out.

Plugging in my head phones, I quickly made a playlist because I wasn't satisfied with any of my existing ones.

I couldn't find anything I really wanted to eat so I ended up getting ice cream. What? I like ice cream.

Sitting down in a park, I ate in peace when I heard a familiar voice.

"Liam!" I looked to the place I heard my name getting called.

"John?" I got up as he hugged me.

"Why are you here?"

"Dad was being annoying so I decided to come here for a bit."

"You're not living with me."

"Oh don't worry, I'll come live with you when I get tired of living alone. "

"Don't even think about it." I chuckled, not really meaning it.

He couldn't stay with me for a month, but a week is alright with me.

"Ice cream for breakfast?"

"Don't even try to say anything, it tastes good so I don't care. "

"Alright alright. " He grinned sitting down beside me. Even though I don't get along with dad, I've been with John since I was 12 so we don't have a hard time understanding each other.

"Nate cheated on me."

"Nate?"

"My boyfrie- or well ex-boyfriend. He said that he was just confused, and was straight. " Shocked at the sudden heavy topic from John, I didn't know how to respond.

"I kinda liked him a lot y'know." He looked at me with teary eyes and a sad smile. 

Instead of saying anything, I decided to hug him instead. The real reason he decided to come here isn't it?

He pulled away after a while, hiding his face from me.

"How pathetic. The older sibling seeking comfort from the younger one. "

"Shut up. I'm more mature anyway." I pushed his hands away, using the longer end of my sleeves to wipe his wet cheeks.

"Want me to get you ice cream?"

He chuckled.

"It's fine small bro. Thanks. I can't really tell this to anyone else, so I really appreciate it Liam. I'm glad we're on good terms."

"You were there for me when dad made me move out alone. I probably wouldn't have survived the first few weeks without you. So I'm glad too. "

He smiled at me, gently ruffled my hair and turned around waving.

"See you in a week, text me your address!" He said giving me the same old John smile.

I swear, the guy who cheated on him is such an idiot.
