Falling for the bad boy

Standing in front of me was none other than my brother and his best friend. I was hoping to not run into them until later but it seemed someone hated me above. Don't get me wrong I love my brother but Andrew is another story ... well I actually love him too. I guess one thing I should tell you is that I am secretly in love with my brothers best friend. Yep you heard that right. By secretly I mean only Mia knows and no one else, not even Amelia knows.  Falling in love with your brothers best friend is honestly the worst thing that can ever happen. Yes a part of it is if my brother found out he would be pissed. But the other part is having to see him every single day and each day falling harder. It is knowing that he will never know how you feel and won't reciprocate the same feelings.  The moment I stopped thinking of Andrew as just a friend was the beginning of Sophomore year in High School. He had spent a 3 months away with his family in Europe exploring a

"Babe get up. It is almost noon." I said shaking a snoring Mia. I had been up for a while unpacking the rest of our stuff in the living room and cleaning. I knew since classes started tomorrow neither Mia or I would want to finish unpacking and cleaning the place. Hearing a groan from her I kept nudging her shoulder.  "Seriously Mia lets get up. You need a cup of coffee and some food." At the mention of coffee she peeked her head out from under the covers.  "Coffee?" She asked cracking open one eye. I grinned and nodded.  "Yes. You need to get some fresh air so we will go to the 95 Degrees and get some warm fresh coffee."  "Can't you go get me some?" She whined putting a hand to her head, which I bet was pounding.  "Nope you have to get out and get some fresh air. There is some Advil on your bedside table and water. Get up, throw on some clothes, and take them. We are leaving in 10 minutes." I said before turning and l

Getting ice cream with my brother was a lot of fun. We talked about everything under the sky. I made sure though not to bring up Gabriel because I had a feeling that wouldn't go over so well. Cris can be very protective over stupid things like that. Plus I didn't plan on talking to Gabriel again, especially after the way he treated me earlier. Being a jerk doesn't get you anywhere.  Just being with Cris and doing something normal to us made me feel a lot better. To me it helped make my first day of college better. I hadn't expected to feel this way or need my brother so much but I do and I am so glad I decided to go to Columbia instead of NYU.  Sadly we couldn't stay and eat ice cream forever. Cris had to get back so he could get ready for the football game tonight. I knew it was a big deal for him and Andrew. First game of the season and they were hoping to take it all this year. I knew they could and probably would. When Cris set his eyes on something he

"You" We both said at the same time. I narrowed my eyes at Gabriel who in turned glared back at me. He was the friend Daniel had talked about and had run off to yesterday.  "Wait you two know each other?" Daniel asked beside me.  "Unfortunately." Gabriel said keeping his eyes on me. At his words I glared harder at him.  "I wasn't the one being an ass." I bit out.  "You came onto me."  "I did not! I was thanking you not trying to sleep with you." I curled my lip at him.  "It didn't seem like that." Gabriel said taking a step towards me. I had to crane my neck up to look at his face. His face looked a lot better and I couldn't help but wonder if he had some kind of salve for his cuts and bruises. Not replying I took that moment to look at him fully.  Gone was his hoodie and a black t-shirt hugged his upper body. Muscular arms that I didn't know where under his hoodie were now stretching the arm

The rest of Thursday and Friday went by quickly. I didn't do much other than do some homework as well as hang out at home. Mia and I stayed in catching up on shows as well as getting ahead on homework. It was now Saturday morning and the two of us were heading towards 95 Degrees to get some coffee and something to eat. In a few hours we were to head to my house for a barbecue. Even though we did see my parents just the other day my mom and Mia's had planned this barbecue weeks ago, so we were expected to be there. Not that we really minded. A home cooked meal and something to do.  Usually more people would be at the barbecue but with everyone busy with work and kids it would only be Mia's family along side mine. I excepted the same thing to happen like always. My dad and Mia's, Luca, would man the grill while they talked about work or sports. My mom, Rose and Aunt Kiyara would be in the kitchen making other food and gabbing. Cris and Andrew would throw a football around
