My Best Friend's Brother (4 page)

He walks over and I give him a brotherly hug,which Heather joins in on.

We break apart as Heather says "Good now we are all friends again."

Dean goes to leave again and asks if we wanna a game of C.O.D and we tell him maybe later.

When he is gone I look at Heather and sigh, almost forgetting the two next to me.

"Can we have a hug now too?" Matt asks.

Heather stands up and hugs them.

"Not that that wasn't nice, but I meant her." he said pointing to me.

Heather slapped Matt's arm "It's rude too point and also she has a name." She told them.

Matt and Nathan were non-identical twins, so they would often speak for each other.

"He is sorry honey." Nathan said giving me a sweet smile.

'What had happened to them while they were away?' I thought again.

"So what's your name love?" Matt asked with the same smile.

Heather glared at her brothers "You two are stupid." I laughed at her.

"Why?" they both asked confused.

Heather pulled me up from my seat "Let's go to my room."

We started to walk out, but I stopped before we finished and turned to Nathan and Matt who were still looking confused at each other.

"Nice too see you again by the way." I said.

"Again?" Nathan asked.

Heather was growing impatient so decide to show them something they would recognize.

She walked closer to me and placed her hand on the back of my neck.

She looked at me to ask if it was ok and I nodded.

"Are you lesbians?" Matt asked smirking.

As if realizing how it looked, Heather jumped and shouted, "No just look!"

They both stood up as Heather turned me and moved the back of my hair to reveal a nasty looking scar in the edge of my hair line caused by one of their many pranks with went wrong.

I heard a gasp and Heather dropped my hair.

"See now stupid?" she asked,

I felt a hand on my shoulder, which made me turn around.

I looked down at the floor, feeling old emotions resurface.

I felt a couple of fingers under my chin as it was pulled up to look at the two twins.

"Hope?" Nathan asked as he dropped his hand from my face.

They both had looks of sorrow and regret on their face, which surprised me, because never once did they apologize.

I nodded as tears started to fill my eyes.

What happened next I swear never in ten million years did I expect, but neither did Heather.

They both said, "We are really and truly sorry for all those things we did to you all those years." And then they both pulled me into a group hug, just as my tears started to fall.

I stood there frozen, not sure what was happening.

All Heather said was, "About time." and I heard her mother who I didn't realize was listening, agree.

I have no idea what has happened to these two, but I sure wanna find out.

CHAPTER THREE

Regrets

Nathan

We had just arrived home from college to see a mini cooper which I had ever seen before outside.

I gave Matt a look to ask if he knew and he shook his head.

We both stepped out of the car and walked into the house

"Hey mom. We're home!" I shouted.

"Who owns the cool car outside?" I asked walking into the kitchen.

But instead of answering we were both attacked with hugs by our own mom and sister.

"Someone's happy to see us." I muttered to Matt.

I roll my eyes.

Anyone would think we had been away for years, but we see each other most holidays.

Not to mention my mother has on a few times decided she had to come to campus to visit the two of us.

When we are finally let go I notice Matt starring at something.

I turned my head to follow his eye line and see a girl I hadn't even noticed was here when we first came into the kitchen.

She was seating eating cookies with her back too us.

"Hello lads. You're early." Mom said to us.

"Yep mom, we wanted to surprise you." Matt replied.

Mom did a squeal and jumped.

I swear sometimes she was like a teenager.

Just then I heard some footsteps and someone saying something.

"Mom have you burnt them again?" I turned to see Dean.

I looked at him shocked by his new appearance.

What the hell has he done to himself?

"Oh hi." Dean said in a bored tone.

"And it's nice to see you too." I said, annoyed.

"What happened to you?" asked Matt.

Heather shook her head to the question and walked over to the girl who was still eating cookies.

'Thats my type of girl' I thought.

It's nice to see a girl who isn't afraid of eating because they will get fat.

Not that she had anything to worry about by the looks of it.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Matt being scolded by mom.

"Don't be mean to your brother." She growled.

I grinned then I heard Matt mumble under his breath "Great that's all we need in the family, a freaking emo."

I don't think he meant for anyone to hear him, but they did.

I burst out laughing and mom hit Matt's arm.

While Dean growled back "I am not a freaking emo!"

I started to laugh like a mad man.

Even before Dean’s new look, Matt was always teasing him.

"It's great to be back." I laughed to myself earning a glare from Dean.

It was never any real hate between them though.

It was all only meant as playfulness.

Just as Mom was about to say something a laugh stopped her, getting everyone's attention.

Everyone turned to see Heather and her friend laughing.

I turned back to the other and noticed Dean's almost depressed expression change into happiness.

I looked to Matt who seemed to of seen the sam ething.

Matt raised his her brows and smirked "Looks like someone has a crush." he said,

But Dean didn't seem to notice.

He almost ran over to the girls.

"Hey, I didn't see you there." I heard a very happy Dean say.

The girl just laughed and Dean pulled her into a hug.

"Hiya, I missed you too." She laughed.

She pulled away and said, "What happened to your clothes?" I let out a deep laugh.

"Seems like we weren't the only ones who didn't like his new look." Matt also laughed out.

She seemed too tensed up for a second before continuing, "I mean you look nice but what happened?" Making Dean smile.

They continued to chat for a while, while me and the others just watched.

"Why don't we take a seat?" I said to Matt.

Matt smirked to me knowing what I meant "Let's."

"Hey Dean." I said walking over to the empty seat next to the unknown girl.

We are both standing by the island now.

By now Dean had now moved to sit opposite the girl and was watching her like a lovesick puppy.

"Is this your girlfriend?" Matt asks.

We both knew she wasn't but still... it was fun to tease.

The girl quickly answered. "No!"

I almost burst out laughing with amusement, but I manage to suppress it.

"Leave your brother be." Says mom.

Matt isn't very happy about being scolded, so just replies with a grunt "OK." And we sit down on the empty seat next to the girl.

She tried her best to avoid our gaze, much to our amusement.

"Someone's shy." I say quietly to Matt.

"We can have fun with this." He replies.

"So is that your car outside?" I ask her.

Heather seemed to give her a strange look, but I just brushed it off.

"Yes." She said turning slightly to me smiling.

She was a lot prettier looking from the front than I thought she would be.

"Sweet ride." Matt said.

"So how long you known Heather?" I asked.

Quickly followed by Matt asking, "Do you go to the same school?"

She looked to Heather and Dean who were both grinning for some unknown reason.

The three of them just laughed as we both just looked at them confused.

'Is there something I missed?' I asked myself.

Mom walked back into the kitchen, after speaking on the phone for a few minutes.

"We’ve been friends a while." The girl finally replied grinning.

"Yeah a long while." Heather confirms.

They were certainly up hiding something and I am going to find out what, one way or another.

"So how old are you?" Matt asked giving her a cheesy smile, which made me silently laugh.

"Seventeen, eighteen in a few weeks." She replied.

I smirked to Matt and he did the same.

Me and Matt were thinking the same thing but Matt voiced it under his breath. "Good."

Mom came over taking some cookies out of the oven.

She turned to Dean after seeing the now empty plate on the table.

While she was busy scolding him I moved in closer to the girl next to me and whispered in her ear

"Maybe you wanna go out sometime?"

I liked her because one, she was pretty hot and I would love to bang that and two, because it would annoy Dean.

I was surprised when she answered, "No thank you." I was surprised because usually girls were throwing themselves at me and my brother just to be seen with us.
