Best Friend's Brother~ Shalaska

Alaska

"Are you going out with Aaron again tonight?" My mom asked as I sat down at the breakfast table. "I can't."
"Why?"
"Just reasons."
"Oh right okay."
"Why?"
"I just wondered."
"Can I stay home today?"
"Why?"
"I'm not feeling that great."
"You don't look that great to be honest, go back to bed." I headed upstairs, shut my bedroom door, and changed into something comfy before climbing into bed. I checked my phone to find a message from Aaron. I sighed before clicking on it.

Can we talk?

No

I sighed before locking my phone and chucking it across the room. "What's got you so angry?" Brooke asked. "Just piss off."
"I'm sorry I asked."

"You don't give two fucks about me, you just like having gossip to spread."
"That's not why I asked."
"Whatever, just go."
"You can talk to me you know."
"No I can't, you wouldn't understand."
"Try me." Brooke said as she picked up my phone and handed it to me before sitting down at the end of my bed. "I like this guy, but I know for a fact he hates me now and I just don't know what to do."
"Is this the guy you write about?"
"Maybe."
"Why does he hate you?"
"I did this thing and now he just does."
"Is there anyway you could talk to him?"
"He messaged me asking to talk and I said no then chucked my phone."
"Why did you say no?"
"He's just going to make it worse and laugh at me."
"Is he a shit person like that?"
"No, he's honestly one of the nicest people."
"Well I think you should talk to him."
"I don't know."
"If it doesn't go well, we can go on the hunt for guys at the weekend."
"Yeah."
"Anyway I'm gonna go back to hating you now, don't tell anyone this conversation happened."
"Good, I don't want people thinking I actually like my sister."
"I know, God as if." Brooke smiled before leaving my room. I unlocked my phone once more and clicked on my conversation with Aaron.

Can we talk?

No
I'm not coming out later

Why not?

Why'd you think?

Can we please just talk?

No
Leave me alone

I locked my phone once more and tucked my phone under my pillow before lying down and going back to sleep.

Around midday I woke up and stretched, I grabbed my phone and read through my new texts.

Please talk to me
Can you just talk to me?
I won't leave you alone
Just let me explain
Please?
I need to explain

I don't want to hear it
