Colton | The Brother
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
3:34pm

"Am I crazy?"

"Is that a rhetorical question?"

"Hilarious Caleb. But I'm serious. Is it normal to like a girl you haven't met?"

"No. Its downright insane, although its something that you would do. Who is she?"

"Her name is Asanda and she's mixed. We started talking when I..."

"... I don't get why you would do that though? You've got family--"

"I've got you only but that's not the point"

"Colton. Why would you want to jump a building? Why won't you tell me?"

"I'm not in the mood to have a heart to heart Caleb"

"I get that our parents are--"

"Caleb! I'm serious. I'm not in the mood"

"You're never in the mood for anything. I'm your brother and--"

"I came to talk to you about a girl and if we aren't going talk about that then I'm leaving"

"Colton--"

"I mean it!"

"Fine. So the girl, Asanda?"

"Yeah, we've only talked a few times but I think I like her. She's like a breath of fresh air. She makes me happy"

"Don't I make you happy?"

"No"

"Liar. I make you the happiest person Colton and you know it"

"If it makes you sleep at night"

"You're a bad brother"

"Thank you. Can I vent to you now?"

"Sure. Whatever"

"Like I said, she makes me happy which is kind of weird because I've only spoken to her a few times--"

"--You think?!"

"-- and I shouldn't actually feel like that right? But I do"

"Brother you sound like such a girl right now"

"Really? Is it that bad?"

"Its horrible"

"Man!"

"What are you going to do about your petty crush?"

"It's not petty!"

"It is if it is a girl you've never met in your life. What if it turns out that she isn't a girl and is a 50 year old retiring doctor with 50 cats to fulfil her cat fetish"

"Yes because a fifty year old has the voice of an eighteen year old girl"

"You never know with the advanced technology"

"Don't be ridiculous brother, man, you're crazier than I am"

"That's insulting on another level."

"I'll pretend like I didn't hear you say that"

"You do that but deep down you know its true"

"..."

"Okay okay, what are you going to do about it?"

"Nothing"

"Nothing? Then why the hell did you tell me?"

"Because I wanted to?"

"Of course. But seriously brother, what are you going to do?"

"I told you nothing. Because she doesn't want to talk to me anymore, told me to get off my high horse because we aren't friends and I'm just a pass time to keep her amused during her work hours"

"Ouch"

"Yeah ouch is right. That got me... hurt, so damn much it's actually scary"

"I don't know what to say brother"

"You don't have to say anything Caleb. I just wanted to vent to somebody"

"I've never seen you so serious about a girl. Never. It's scary"

"I know. Its freaking me out too. I'm not supposed to feel this way so quickly. Its unnatural"

"You never expect to fall in love brother. It just happens so quickly you don't know it hits you until it does"

"Since when did you become so philosophical? I thought I was the philosophical one here"

"That wasn't philosophical at all"

"You're right it wasn't"

"I'm sorry that your petty crush didn't work out"

"It wasn't petty!"
