My Brother's Best Friend

Demetri

[Morgan's POV]

       Ugh, Nikki and Dylan are so gross. They have been dating for a week now and almost all they do is make out.  Yuck! Nikki barely has anytime for me anymore because she is always with Dylan. I understood that she was like, in love or whatever but seriously? She needed to give it a rest. My phone rang and I looked over at Dylan and Niks. Dyl had his arm around her and she was snuggled up into his side. Gross.

       I took my phone and looked at the caller ID. I let it ring for a moment as I let who was calling sink in. It was Demetri. I answered it.

       "He-hello?" I asked nervously.

       "Morgan? Oh, you honestly do not know how good it feels to hear your voice! I have some news." Demetri answered in his breathy voice. My stomach dropped to my shoes.

       "What's the news Demetri?"

       "I am moving back to Philadelphia. Into my old house next door to you! Isn't that exciting?!" I practically dropped my phone, clutching my stomach. Its not that I wasn't happy that he was moving back but I just wasn't ready to see him again.

       "Yeah. When are you going to be back?"

       "Sometime next week. I am so happy to be able to see you again. Anyways, I have to go finish packing."

       "Bye." I couldn't believe that my first "love" from 7th grade was coming back. We dated for two years until the end of 8th grade and then he moved away so we broke it off. I don't really have feelings for him anymore so, whatever.

[Nikki's POV]

       I still could not believe that Dylan O'Brien was my god dang fricking perfect, amazing boyfriend. Everything he did was just perfect. I looked over at Morgs and she looked really upset. Dylan's hand was around me and I didn't want him to let go, but I had to see what was up. She was my best friend after all.

       "Morgs, whats up? You look upset." I asked, concerned.

       "Demetri." Morgan replied. The moment she said that, I grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs. When we were in my bedroom, I texted Dylan.

ME: Hi sorry babe. Something is going on with Morgs, I had 2 c what was up. B down soon.

Dylan O'Mine: Hey boo, its ok I understand. I hope she is ok.

       "Ok. Tell me everything that happened." I demanded. After she told me what Demetri had said about him moving back, I told her just to keep her head high and don't be awkward about it because it was over between them. She agreed and calmed down. We finally headed back downstairs after about 20 minutes and thank the Lord, Dyl was still there sitting in the same spot on the couch, watching Bones.

       "I though Bones was a nerdy show?" I asked him mockingly as I sat back down and put his arm around me again, just like it was before I had left.

       "Pssh! Damn, accuse much? When did I ever say that, babe?" Dylan responded with a scoff.

       "Whatever!" I said, giggling.

I looked over at Morgan and saw her make the biggest dramatic eye roll I had ever seen her make but she was smiling so I knew she was kidding. Dylan gave me a quick kiss goodbye when he got a text from his mom, Lisa, saying he had to come home.

       "Bye beautiful, I love spending time with you. And bye bye Morgs, I hope you feel better." Dyl said waving goodbye as he walked towards the door.

       "Bye Dyl, and thanks. I hope so too." Morgan responded. As soon as the door shut, Tyler came running down the stairs.

       "Dude, was that DOB?" Tyler asked with a groan.

       "Yes, it was. #sorrynotsorry." I replied, smiling.

       "I didn't get to spend any time with him, man! Ever since you started dating, you have been hogging him from me. He is my best friend ya know, dude?" Tyler turned around and stomped sarcastically up the stairs. Morgs and I could hear him mumbling under his breath. When he got to the top of the stairs all you could hear was,"Fuck!" and then a door slamming shut. Morgan and I started laughing so hard our sides started to hurt. It was times like these that just filled me with joy.
