chapter twenty-five

"What movie are we watching?" I question, ignoring Reece's glare.

"Toy Story!"

"Blake, no."

"But-"

"We literally just watched it."

"We watched the first one. Not the second one."

"Not the point."

"Fine."

"How about we watch 'how not to steal someone else's car'?"

"Reece, just drop it already."

"You stole my car!" Reece sits up.

"I borrowed it. There's a big difference."

"What would you have done if you actually got drunk?"

"Uber?"

"So you would've left my car there?"

"Yes because then you would know that I wasn't driving under the influence, and that your precious car would be safe."

"And what would you tell me then?"

"Not sure. I'd probably say my dad went to clean it or something."

"Oh my god."

"I wouldn't want to tell you because I know how you are about your car."

"Which is why you don't borrow it without permission."

"Oh my god."

"Besides, you don't even have your license. What if you had gotten caught?"

"Well it's a good thing I'm never doing it again."

"You didn't answer my question."

"Reece I will kick you out of my room right now if you push me."

He crosses his arms. "Fine."

"That's what I thought."

I walk over, taking the beer from him.

"Hey!"

"You're mean tonight."

"Only because you-"

"Reece Jamie Bibby."

"I'll shut up now."

Blake and George laugh at us.

"It's not funny!" Reece says.

"It totally is." Blake says.

"How?"

"Because you guys literally act like siblings."

"It makes sense." Reece says. "I mean, we live together after all."
