"W-what do you mean your not c-coming home?!" I shouted at my brother. Shivering in the cold winds as I stand in front of the school with my phone to my ear. "I-I've been waiting o-out here f-or an hour already Damian!!" "Damn...chill bro. I told you I couldn't pass up this chance. You know better than anyone that Jaxon's parties are the best. Plus I can also shag a nice gir-" I cut him off. I couldn't stand to hear him finish that sentence. "A-a nice party and a g-good fuck are all it takes. You're leaving your b-brother in front of the s-school when it's sn-nowing, no way for him t-to get home, a-and on his birthday no l-less!" My voice kept rising, but I didn't care. There was nobody around to hear me anyway. "Look bro, I'm sorry...I'll take you home tomorrow and we'll just hang out, but I'm already here and I have to go." I hung up as he finished without even replying. 'How could he do this, on my birthday. That fucking asshole better get the worst hangover in history tomorrow.' But no matter how much I complained in my head, I knew, I would always forgive him. Because even though he's an asshole, he still makes my hot chocolate for breakfast when it snows. Because even though he leaves me for his friends sometimes, he always comforts me when I get nightmares. But mostly because he's my brother and my hidden crush. ###################################################################### I'm not good with descriptions, so here's the prologue...
