How To Save A Life

Chapter 29

Alyssa's POV

"Then this dude just ran into me. He was not even paying attention to where he ran. I was so mad. He ruined my run." John, my brother, said.

John just came home from college for the holidays. I was excited for John to come home. We have always been close. John protected me all the time. Sometimes it was nerve racking having him scare away all the cute guys but I know he means well.

"Wow that sucks bro." I sassed. He is always complaining about something.

He rolled his eyes. Gosh I missed him.

"So sis," he started, " want to go get some ice cream? It's on me."

"YES!!! I LOVE ICE CREAM!!!" I screamed.

"Let's go!" He sprinted out the door and I followed.

Once we got to the ice cream store I have already planned out what I was getting.

We jumped in line and chatted about random stuff that came to our minds.

The line didn't take long and in about five minutes I was holding my double fudge triple scoop ice cream in a waffle cone.

I thanked my brother profusely while happily licking my ice cream cone like a little kid.

"Hey sis, there's that dude that ran into me on my run." He points over to the line and my head follows.

Once I see who it is I stop licking my ice cream and silently swear in my head.

This is just great the guy I really like and the guy who took my first kiss is the guy who ran into my brother and made him mad. Oh great.

"Oh." Is all I can say.

"Do you know him, Alyssa?" My brother asks.

"Yea, kind of." I look away.

"Who is he?" My brother questions.

"Oh just some boy at my school." I calmly reply. It's hard trying to play cool.

I look over at him again and he has spotted me. And he looks mad.

I don't think he knows I have a brother.

Shoot.

I look at my brother and back to Tom.

Next thing I know Tom is storming over here. Once he gets to the table he pulls me up and kisses me.

Oh no. After we kiss I look at my brother and he is furious.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?" My brother screams.

"What are you doing?" Tom asked. "I really like this girl."

Aww he really likes me!

"YOU DON'T JUST GO UP TO PEOPLE AND KISS THEM!" John still furious.

"Why not? We've already kissed it plenty of times." Tom acting all cool.

"WHAT?!?" John looks over at me surprised.

I slowly nodded.

"Who are you?" Tom finally asks.

"Tom, this is my brother John." I softly introduced them. "John, this is Tom."

"Oh, sorry." Tom said. "I didn't know you were her brother."

John just kept glaring down Tom like he was lining up the perfect shot to kill him.

"So... Ice cream... It's good." I tried to break the tension. While I went back to slowly licking my ice cream.
