My Brothers Best Friend

Vodka Therapy

 I swear to God I've been writing this while time....just very...very... slowly. Sorry!

Adam, Jude, Gwen and I had been spending the weekend together, but no matter how much fun I had I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Because the sooner it ends, the sooner I see Caleb and Andrew. They’re supposed to be coming back late Sunday night, and I was determined to wait up for them. That’s how I ended up where I am, sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket and watching Revolution on Netflix. AN: anyone else watch Revolution?

I felt arms slip under me, and felt myself being lifted. Groggily I opened my eyes, grateful for the small light from the TV. “Drew?” I mumbled sleepily.

“Yeah sweetheart, I just got back, go back to sleep I’m taking you up to bed.” I felt the rumble of his chest as he talked lowly as not to wake me up anymore. Yawning in agreement I snuggled into his chest. “I missed you Andy.” Switching back to the name I used for him when we were little. I felt safe a warm in his arms, he was and always would be my protector, with my mom off gallivanting the world, Drew was all that I had.

“I missed you too squirt.” I felt him kiss my temple before settling me into my bed, pulling the covers up around me before sleep swallowed me up once again.

Slapping my alarm I sighed sleepily before I remembered that the boys were home today. Springing up, I bounced over to my closet, quickly slipping on a pair of black leggings, a white camisole, and a brown cardigan and boots to match. Thankfully my hair was behaving, along with my skin, so makeup only took a few minutes. Sprinting out my door I practically fell down the stairs and into the kitchen. Immediatley after seeing Drew I launched myself into his arms. Drew laughed and hugged me tight before setting me down again.

“I missed you Drew, it was really quiet here.”  Drew smiled a little sadly, “and I’m sorry I left you here, and I missed you too, you’re okay right?” Drew took a quick scan of me to asses any damage.

“I’m fine Drew, no one has even said anything.”

Another voice spoke up from the bar, making me jump, “And we all saw that Kira can handle herself.”

“CALEB!” I smiled and ran over, He laughed and held his arms out, ready to scoop me up. It felt good to wrap my arms around his neck, feel his warm lips on mine. Pulling back slightly he looked at me and smiled, “I’ve been waiting to do that for three days.” Smiling like a kid in a candy store I kissed him one more time, softly, letting him know I felt the same way.

After setting me down, I made us both toast before retrieving from his hiding spot in the living room and headed out to the car. I was excited to get to school, I couldn’t wait for them to meet Adam. It’d only been a few days, but he’d become one of my closest friends. Once he came out of his shell, he was actually really outgoing, thought he still sank back a little when we were in public places.

I grabbed Caleb’s hand as we walked into the school, Drew flanking my other side. Gwen, Jude and Adam were waiting for me at my locker, smiles on their faces, while Adam looked at the boys at my sides nervously.

                “Adam, this is Andrew, my brother, and Caleb, my boyfriend. Guys this is Adam.” I got tingles in my stomach as introducing Caleb as my boyfriend, I could tell he felt it too because he gave my hand a tight squeeze as I said it.

Adam nervously waved to both before finding his shoes extremely interesting.Well, at least he tried. He wasn’t totally out of his shyness yet, but we were getting there.

Gwen, being the eccentric she is, quickly filled the silence. “So! How’d the guys weekend go? Get your party on, get some drinks, some strippers, some lap danc- OW!” Her hair currently being pulled in my fist cut off the list of thing they better NOT have done.
