You and Justin are best friends, every Saturday you have your usual 'video game night'

You: Noo you bring one of your games...cause we've played all mine..yeah, well I can still whip your ass *giggles* okay *giggles* see you later bye..!

You hang up and put your cell on the table. Your mom walks into the kitchen, carrying a basket of laundry, you're still smirking from your conversation on the phone with your best friend Justin.

Y/m: Oo what are you smirking at?
You: Oh nothing
Y/m: Mmhm
Your mom goes out in the back yard and starts hanging the laundry out on the line. You get up, go out and help her.

You: Mom, you an dad are out tonight right?
Y/m: Yeah he's taking me on a date, yknow we haven't been on a date since before you and your brother were born. We-
You: Yeah I don't need the finer details
Y/m: Awh, are you getting jealous?
You: What? Me, Jealous? Noo..

You were single and have been for 4 years. You're 19 and have never been in a "proper relationship" you've had a few dates and boyfriends but they've never lasted longer than 3 months. But you weren't sad about it, truth is there was only one guy in your life who has always been there for you no matter what. That was Justin, he's your typical best guy friend he was your shoulder to cry on, your arms to run into, the one on the end of the phone at 3am. He was amazing, he always knew how to make you smile and feel special. You were the kind of best friends that were so close you act like a couple.

You: No I'm just asking cause me an Justin have our game night tonight

You smile when you say his name and your mom notices

You: So I was just wondering if we were gonna have the house to ourselves
Y/m: Look at you smiling when you say his name! And you don't need to worry about me and your dad being in but have you checked with James?

James was your big brother, he was 21 but still lived at home. He's a year older than Justin.
You: Oh sh*t yeah
Y/m: What was that?

You're not allowed to swear in front of your mom

You: Nothing!

You finish putting out the laundry, go inside and run upstairs. You knock on your brothers door.

James: Yeah?

You go in his room to find him an his friend Liam playing 'COD: Advanced Warfare' on Xbox One.

You: Hey Liam, Jay?

They don't take their eyes off the TV screen.

Liam: Hey beautiful

James: Bro that's my sister! And what?

You: Are you going out tonight?

Liam: No Why?

You: Oh well Justin is coming around for our game night so can you just stay out the way please?

James: No he's not

You: Um yes he is cause mum said he can..well she didn't but she didn't say no when I told her. Also he comes around every weekend so..

James: Urgh fine and only if there's something in it for me

You: Like what?
