"Alyssa she could leak my number or find our address and leak that or she can steal information she could be a hacker you dont know" he says freaking out 

"jo, chill shes not going to do that"

"how do you know"

"what would she gain from doing that" 

"I dont know" he says calming down

"exactly now just relax and be happy that you might have a girlfriend"

"I dont have time to date"

"and I dont have time to deal with your bullshit excuses"

"hey language"

"oh whatever" I say rolling my eyes

Haleigh comes back with our food and gives it to us smiling at Jonah walking away

"see she likes you"

"well thats good" he says 

we eat and as we're eating a boy comes over to us

"hey, youre really pretty" he says to me

I almost choke on my food as I point to myself

"me?" I ask

"ye-yeah and I just realized that you're probably on a date with your boyfriend now and this is very awkward"

I almsot choke again

"ew no this is my brother and hes ugly id never even think about dating him"

"hey im not ugly" Jonah says

"thats right youre not ugly youre hideous how am I even related to you" 

the boy quickly walks away somehow scared of me

"that was rude"

"I was kidding I just wanted him to get away from me"

"oh"

"I mean you are kinda ug-"

"okay new topic" he says clearly annoyed 

"so speaking of boyfriend hows Cameron"

"hes good I mean as you know he came over last night"

"well yeah I invited him"

"yeah well nothing big happened he just stayed till I fell asleep"

"good if he ever touches you in any way ill kill him" he says with a scary smile

"welllll"

"excuse me"

"im kidding but he did kiss my forehead" 

"and thats the only thing he'll be kissing"

I roll my eyes and continue to eat my food

"by the way im still going on that date tomorrow so if he kisses me just know" I say interrupting the silence

"oh yeah... what are you guys even doing"

"I dont know but he doesnt want his parents to go so im planning on asking corbyn to bring us somewhere" 

"what!!! why not me?"

"no offense but youre kinda awkward and embarrassing when im with the opposite gender"

"oh shut up"

"wow did the famous Jonah Marais just swear at me. "

"shut up isn't swearing"

"it Is if its coming from you"

"oh whatever I have a reason Im never mean and I dont like when people swear" 

"enlighten me on the reasoning"

"I was in the car when mom and dad died in the crash" he whispers

"wait what does tha-"

"they were fighting and they were swearing the whole time and dad took his hands off the wheel to get his point across and well the car swerved and hit another car and i-it hit the front... and it was kind of my fault... they were fighting about whether or not I should go on some stupid fieldtrip."

"that doesnt make it your fault"

"yeah I asked if I could go and the fight started mom said no and dad said yeah and thats what happened"

"where were all of us?"

"corbyn was watching you and the others while they took me to a baseball game" 

"oh but still its not your fault so dont say it is" 

"I cant help but think it is"

"well don't okay at least try not to"

"when did you become smarter than me"

"I always have been" I say shrugging 

we finish eating and pay. once he pays we go home

"thanks for today it was fun" I thank Jonah

"anytime. and just for the record you're my favorite sibling"

"oh I know"

"you really know how to kill a good brother moment"

I go upstairs and on my phone
