My Best Friends Brother

Chapter 14 A Hard Decision...

I decided that night when I left that I was obviously going to have to get over Joe. I mean that summer was 6 years ago and he had moved on..why was I still clinging? That night Jessica was asleep and I was craving a milkshake so I had gone to the nearest McDonalds. When I was walking back up the stairs to go back to our room I heard some happy whispers and giggling. 
When I stepped on to the 3rd floor and looked down my heart broke all over again. Joe was standing in the hall with Chelsea and she was standing against the door next to our door holding Joe's face and kissing him. I just stood there watching them about to collapse when Joe looked over at me. His eyes said something his facial expression to the girl didn't. Inside his eyes was softness, and love, and sorry... he opened his mouth to say something when Chelsea dragged him into the room. I gasped for air about to cry and turned to go back someplace when a door next to me opened. 
"Oh! Hey Al.." Ben said trailing off. When he saw my face he ran over and hugged me," Oh Alley.." he said. I sobbed into his shirt and he just hugged me. Then he took my hand and pulled me inside his room. He sat me down on the couch and grabbed me a cup of coffee and some tissue. I wiped my eyes and he pulled a chair over across from me. 
"Hey..." he said in a soothing voice, "Tell ol' Benny what's wrong.." I laughed a bit and sniffled. 
"Ben." I said, "You've been my friend for a lot of years..and I need to confide in someone.." He just sat there nodding. "I...I think that I am still in love with Joe. And in all these years of not seeing him I haven't forgotten anything he has ever said to me...or any kisses or hugs we've ever shared..nothing. And well I bet he has and he has someone new now but I can't take it." He wiped a tear from my eye. 
"I know." he whispered, "I know how it feels to love someone who doesn't love you back." he choked, "But the truth is that..he probably still loves you too." I saw him wipe his eyes and I shot up and hugged him. 
"Oh my God...Ben are you okay? Who..what happened?" He looked at me for a minute. 
"There's a girl I know who I have loved forever and well...she doesn't feel the same.." he looked away for a minute and looked back at me. I tried to think of all the girls he used to like but..it was hard. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine while I wasn't looking. Oh NOOO. I thoughtNot me Ben..not me.. He wrapped his arms around me and I didn't know what to do so I just let him kiss me. He lifted his shirt off and I got scared. What am I gonna do? 
~~~~~READ IMPORTANT!!~~~~ 
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO What do we think? To kiss Ben or not to kiss Ben. Do we like Ben like that or will we keep him little brother status? Should we use Ben to make Joe jealous? Or keep pursuing Ben...I'm undecided...so COMMENT and tell me what you think. I WON'T write until you comment, so hurry up ;) xx
