My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 20

Luna's POV:

Emilio and I both talked together about what had happened in the hospital before entering Kaitlyn's room. He was very mad, frustrated. I feel like he's really affected because he's the one that saw the condition I was in and he's the one that helped me by taking me to his house. I just don't get what happened all of a sudden between Emilio and I. I used to hate him, he was so annoying. I think he used to hate me too. But I guess I didn't really hate him, like it was all just joking around, ya know?

Now everything changed.

Emilio and I walk to the hospital room and enter it. We step in and shut the door behind us quietly. I turn around and see Dylan and Kait still sleeping, only they're both cuddled up on the hospital bed.

"Aww," I whisper and put both my hands on my chest as if it melted my heart. "Those two are well cute."

"I agree," Emilio chuckles. I put down the bag that had the box of cupcakes we brought for Kait and Dylan.

But they're sleeping.. so, all for me.

You sound like a fatass.

Well frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

You say that a lot, you know.

Again, I don't care.

Oh look I'm back to my crazy self talking with that maniac in my brain.

That maniac in your brain is also you, dumbass.

Ok shut up.

"Shut up?" I hear Emilio say behind me. I think I replied to the maniac out loud. "Oh, uhm, I wasn't telling you to shut up," I try to explain and not sound crazy. "Huh? There's literally no one awake in this room apart from you and I?" He says but making it sound more like a question.

"The maniac in my brain.." I begin to speak. "I'm telling the maniac in my brain to shut up."

Emilio tries to hold in a laugh and I look at him with all seriousness, then he stops laughing and looks at me raising an eyebrow.

"Wait, you're serious?" He asks. "Yea?" I say.

He can now no longer hold in his laugh, he bursts out. He starts laughing and trying to shut himself up but he doesn't succeed. Instead, it wakes up Dylan.

"What the hell, guys?" Dylan asks sounding irritated. "Sorry, Lan. You can go back to sleep," I say pulling laughing Emilio out of the room and shutting the door when I get him outside. He starts laughing again.

"It's not funny!" I state. "There is a maniac living in my brain."

"It's not that," he says between laughs. "You were actually serious!"

I clasp my hand over his mouth so I can muffle his laughs since everyone in the hallway is now looking at us. I mouth a 'sorry' to the irritated people and once again, pull Emilio towards the exit.

"Sorry," Emilio says after what seems like hours of laughing outside the hospital. "Are you ready to be a good boy and go back inside, silently?" I ask him as if I'm talking to a five year old. "No," he says.

"No?" I repeat. "Can we go somewhere else? Kaitlyn and Dylan are literally sleeping and it's gonna be boring. How about we go get Chinese food? Or McDonald's? Or-" I cut him off. "Quit nagging! God you speak too much."

"I'm hungry," he pouts. "Let me take you somewhere," he says, this time sounding serious. "Somewhere like where?" I ask, curiosity taking over me.

"It's a surprise," he winks at me and my I feel my cheeks heat up.
