Hailee's View
I call Allison and she answers on the last ring.
I call you up when I know he's at home
"Hello." Y/n says.
"Oh, hey, Y/n." I say.
I jump out of my skin when he picks up the phone
"Hey." Y/n says.
Allison is my best friend and I have a little crush on her little sister, Y/n. It's exactly like a middle school crush. I'm constantly overthinking the things I do around around Y/n.
Why can't I tell if he's looking at me?
Should I give him a smile?
Should I get up and leave?
Alison would probably kill me if she found out.
I know it's strange, I don't know what I'm thinking
"Is Allison busy?" I ask.
"Yeah." Y/n says.
"Oh, okay. I'll call her later." I say.
"Are you busy this Friday?" Y/n asks.
"Uh, no." I say.
"I brought 2 tickets to go see a movie with a friend but she canceled. You want the other one?" Y/n says.
But is it wrong if I see him this weekend?
"Depends on what movie. I can't do horror." I say.
"Haha, you'll be fine. It's Barbie." Y/n says.
"Oh, okay. Sure." I say.
I really hope I can get him alone
"Let's not tell Ally about this.." Y/n says.
I just don't, don't want her to know
"Agreed." I say.
Time Skip
Ever since I went to the movies with Y/n, we've really hit it off. Now I'm feeling like this is more than a crush.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My best friend's brother is the one for me
"You have a boyfriend yet?" Allison asks.
"Uh, no. I've been talking to someone though." I say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
"Y/n's been talking to someone too. Won't shut up about this girl but she won't let me meet her." Allison says.
I don't want to, but I want to
'Cause I just can't get him out of my mind and
"She won't shut up about her, huh?" I ask.
"Nope! Always talking about how pretty and talented she is and how great her personality is." Allison says.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My best friend's brother is the one for me
"Aw." I say.
"I get the sense that she loves her." Allison says.
B-F-B, B-F-B
"The feeling might be mutual." I say.
My best friend's brother, my best friend's brother
"There will be no feelings until I meet this woman. Not just anyone can date my little sister." Allison says.
"Ally, she's 24 years old. You're gonna have to let her make her own decisions one day." I say.
"I know but I just wanna protect her forever." She says.
The front door opens and Y/n walks in.
"Why didn't you knock?" Allison asks.
"Cause." Y/n says.
"Don't be rude, say hi to Hailee." Allison says.
"H-Hey." Y/n says.
"Hey." I say.
Allison's phone rings and she groans. She answers it and walks outside.
"I missed you." Y/n says hugging me.
I kinda think that I might be his type
'Cause when you're not around he's not acting too shy
I smile and she sits beside me.
"Your sister told me about this girl you like. I heard she's really pretty and talented and has a good personality." I say.
"Oh god." Y/n mumbles as her face turns red.
"That's cute." I say.
Y/n smiles and we stare at each other.
Sometimes I feel like he might make a move
The door opens and Allison comes back in.
Is this all in my head?
I don't know what to do
Time Skip
Y/n texted me and asked me to come over. I don't know why.
I know it's strange I don't know what he's thinking
But is it wrong if I see him this weekend?
I knock on the door and Y/n opens it.
"Hey." Y/n says letting me in.
"Hey." I say.
"Really nice place." I say looking around.
"Paid for with all of my father's money." Y/n says.
I laugh and she smiles.
"Why'd you want me to come over?" I ask.
I really hope I can get him alone
"I wanted to talk to you about... us. If we can even call it that." Y/n says.
"Okay." I say.
"I really like you—" Y/n says.
"But?" I ask.
"No, that's it." Y/n says.
"Oh." I say.
We laugh and smile.
"I really want us to work out but we're gonna have to keep it a secret for a little longer. I don't know how Ally is gonna react." Y/n says.
I just don't, don't want her to know
"That's fine." I say.
Y/n smiles and kisses me.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." Y/n says.
I laugh and smile.
Time Skip
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want to, but I want to
I hear a knock on the door and Y/n gets up. Y/n looks through the peephole and widens her eyes.
"It's Ally!" Y/n whisper-shouts.
"Shit." I say getting up.
Y/n runs down the hall and I open the door.
"Hey." I say.
"What are these rumors about you dating my sister?" Allison asks.
'Cause I just can't get him out of my mind and
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
"Oh, yeah, I read about that. You know a lot of these news stations always lie and stuff." I say.
"Pop Base is top-tier journalism, they're always right." Allison says.
"Be honest with me, Hailee." Allison says.
"If I was dating Y/n, you would be one of the first to know." I say.
My best friend's brother is the one for me
B-F-B, B-F-B
I hear a sneeze and I widen my eyes.
"You are such a liar." Allison says walking down the hall.
I follow her and hear another sneeze. She stops in front of the closet and opens it. Y/n sneezes again and Allison looks at me.
"Sorry, my allergies are really bad." Y/n says.
"That's okay, baby. You tried your best." I say rubbing her back.
My best friend's brother, my best friend's brother
B-F-B, B-F-B
"Baby?!" Allison asks.
My best friend's brother, my best friend's brother
"How long has this been going on? Why didn't you tell me?" Allison asks, crossing her arms.
"For crying out loud, it's not this serious! I'm 24 and you still act like I can't make my own decisions!" Y/n says.
"I just want what's best for you, Y/n/n." Allison says.
"This is what's best for me, she is what's best for me." Y/n says.
"This woman is amazing and I'm so happy right now. You've been friends for years, you should know how great she is." Y/n says.
'Cause he's such a dream, yeah
And you know what I mean
"Well, if you're happy who am I to ruin that?" Allison asks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My best friend's brother is the one for me
"Who are you to tell me who's right for me when you married a basketball player who slept with every woman he laid eyes on before he met you?" Y/n asks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A punk rock drummer and he's
six foot three
Allison hits Y/n and I laugh.
I don't want to, but I want to
'Cause I just can't get him out of my mind and
"Take good care of my little sister, Steinfeld." Allison says.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My best friend's brother is the one for me
"Of course." I say wrapping my arm around Y/n.
B-F-B, B-F-B
My best friend's brother, my best friend's brother
Allison smiles and leaves.
B-F-B, B-F-B
Y/n sneezes into her elbow and I rub her back.
My best friend's brother, my best friend's brother
