My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 32

Alex's POV
____________

I sit on my bed deep in thought.

It is the day after and I still haven't seen Brandon or talked to him.

Tyler came over yesterday after school. So I figured out why he was gone.

I go on my phone and text Brandon.

Hey - Me

He doesn't respond. He used to respond really fast. What is happening? Then I remember.

He doesn't live that far away. Maybe I should just go ask. I get changed.

(A/N picture above)

I go downstairs and tell mom that I am going to a friends and then leave. I decide to walk because it's not that far and I could use the exercise.

I finally arrive around fifteen minutes later and ring the doorbell. I forgot how big this place is. I was snapped out of my thoughts when the door opens and a man stands at it. He looks at me confused and then I speak up.

"Hey, my name is Alex and I am Brandons friend, I didn't see him at school yesterday and he isn't answering my texts. I wanted to know if he is here." I said and smiled at him.

"Yeah he is here, hi Alex, I am Brandons uncle." The man said and shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you sir." I say.

"You too, Brandon is in his room, do you know where it is?" He asks.

"I think I remember." I say and Brandons uncle let me inside.

I wonder why his uncle is here. I try to find his room and then finally find the stairs. I run up the stairs and find his room.

I knock on his door and hear Brandon.

"Who is it?" He asks.

"It's Alex." I respond.

"Oh, one second." He says. I can hear him shuffling around and then he opens the door. He stood there shirtless with only basketball shorts on.

"Hey, my face is up here you know." He smirks and I look up.

"Right I know." I say and he chuckles a little.

"So what's up?" He asks.

"Well I wanted to know why you weren't at school." I asked.

"Oh well, do you want to come in?" He asks.

"Sure." I say and walk in seeing the amazing room that I almost forgot about.

I run and jump on his comfortable bed and just lay there.

"You really like my bed, don't you?" Brandon starts laughing behind me.

"Yeah." I say but it was all muffled because my face was in his sheets. He starts laughing but I don't really care.

"I thought you had something to ask me?" He asks.

Then I remember.

"Right." I say and sit up.

"What is it?" He asks.

"Why weren't you at school yesterday?" I ask.

"I guess I wasn't feeling well." He shrugs.

"Why weren't you answering my texts then?" I ask.

"My phone has been broken." He shrugs again and then if on cue his phone starts ringing. I look at him and he looks really guilty.

"Oh then who's phone is that?" I ask.

"I-I uh don't know?" He stutters and starts scratching the back of his neck.

"Fine, lie to me then, I thought we were friends, but friends don't lie, I'm leaving, bye!" I say and then stand up.

I walk to the door and open it. I look back at him and he is just staring down at his hands that were on his lap. I roll my eyes and walk out shutting the door behind me.

I run downstairs and run to the front door. Brandons uncle sees me and looks at me confused. I sigh and say bye to him and he says bye back. I walk out the door and run to my house.

Brandons POV
________________

I messed up really bad. The love of my life just walked out.

She left me.

She will never forgive me.

Now another reason why she hates me.

I hear my door open and I look up hopefully but just see my uncle. I look down at my hands again.

"Brandon, why did a girl just run out almost in tears?" He asks.

"It's a long story." I mumble.

"I have time." He says and sits in front of me.

I look at him and sigh. I then tell him the story starting from when I first went to Alex's house.

"Wait let me get this straight, and I mean straighter than you. You liked her so you told her you were gay and now you won't talk to her?" My uncle asks and I nod.

"Brandon you're in some deep shit." He says which makes me chuckle a little.

"Tell me something I don't know." I sigh and look back down at my hands.

"Okay, I will, I think you should tell her, if she forgives you then you obviously mean something to her, if she doesn't then don't waste your time just to get your heartbroken more." He says and I look at him. That was really good advice.

"Thanks." I say.

"No problem bud, now come here." He says, I stand up and we both hug and then say our goodbyes. He walks out and shuts my door and then I immediately go and text Mason.

I am really, really sorry, I messed up, I know I did, is she okay? - Me

Bro, Alex is in her room and won't talk to anyone you need to tell me or her what's going on, your not like this. - Mason

I know, I am coming right now! I will explain it to her, I hope she forgives me. - Me

I wil let you in, text me when you're here. - Mason

Okay I will, thanks for not going over protective brother mode and trying to rip my head off. - Me

Your welcome, it's only because I know there is a reason and it better be a good one. - Mason

It is. - Me

With that we both say our goodbyes and I get dressed and drive over to Alex's after saying goodbye to my uncle.

I'm here. - Me

I text Mason once I pull into their driveway.

Coming down now. - Mason

The door opens and I get out of my car and jog over to the door.

"Hey bro, I am watching you." Mase says and we do the bro hug thing.

"Thanks bro, I didn't mean to hurt her, I swear." I say.

"I know you didn't." Mason responds.
