My Best Friends Brother by Gabby Scranton (ebook e reader txt) 📖

could stop it Shane’s fist came into contact with Todd’s jaw.
“Now this is your one and ONLY warning. I want you away from her,” he said while pointing to me, “And I don’t want to see your face here again. While my oblivious mother, no offense ma, thinks you’re ‘really in love with her’ you don’t think I know your plan?” He turned to me. “He doesn’t want you, he wants you precious little V- Card, and from there you’re a piece of sand.”
Everyone was frozen. Ella’s hand was covering her mouth, Rob had half of his wheat toast in his mouth, Chelsea just stood there shocked, tears were running down my face and Todd was pissed.
“You think you can just waltz in here, call my girlfriend a slut, get away with it, and tell me to leave? What are you jealous? Newsflash buddy, I don’t care if you’re the fucking president, you need to get an attitude check.”
Shane chuckled. “I’m sorry but do you live here? No, I didn’t think so anyways. Fay, did you notice how he dodged my question about just wanting in your pants? Yeah thought so…. Anyways, get the hell out of my house.”’
Todd sneered and slightly winced at his now bruising jaw. “Come on Faith, we’re leaving.”
I shook my head.
“What? Faith, come on let’s go! You need to get away from this nut job.”
“I can’t.” I said quietly.
“What are you talking about?”
“I just can’t Todd.”
“It’s me or them.” I stood in place and he shook his head. “You weren’t worth it anyway.”
Now it was my time to be angry. “’Excuse me?”
“Nothing,” he said blankly.
Shane gripped the neck of his shirt. “The lady asked you a question.”
“Fine! You want to know? A few months ago, the guys and I made a bet that I could make you fall in love with me by the end of the year. If I got it 100 bucks. If I got it with your virginity an extra $200. Happy?”
I slapped him. “You where my best friend, and even though it wasn’t for long you were also my boyfriend! You said you loved me!! Who is this? Where is the guy I’ve known since 7th grade? You know what? Don’t answer that. Leave this house now and I never want to see your face again!”
He walked away hands in pockets and never looked back. I backed my back against the island and broke down crying. A very muscular set of arms picked me up and carried me to a room, where I was set down on a bed.
“Please don’t leave me.” I said softly, almost inaudible.
“Do I have a choice Fire Truck?”

The Decision

*************************************************************************************
Shane’s POV
I heard my stomach grumble and was having a hard time deciding if I should ditch the sleeping beauty and eat.
She finally stired and my stomach grumbled again. Her soft laugh sent small flutters through my body.
“Are you hungry?” She quickly awakened and looked around the room. “Where am I, what time is it, and where’s Todd?”
Red flashed through me and my body I tensed, she must of remembered because then she let out a sad ‘oh.’ She looked around my large fairly empty room.
“Why am I here?”
“Uhhh…..”
“Why am I HERE?”
“Because…”
She got up quickly and fell right back down on the bed.
“Are you ok, do you need ice? Or asprin, or like water?”
“I just have a headace Shane. Now answer my question.”
“Well, I thought you might of wanted somewhere quiet, so I brought you here.”
“Then why are you still here,” she asked through clenched teeth.
“What? I thought I would stay to make sure you where ok… you know? I mean I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you.”’
“Just because something happened with Todd, doesn’t change my feelings for you Shane. Youre still an asshole.”
“Faith, why am I an asshole? What did I do?!”
“You called me a slut!”
“Dude!! I didn’t know it was you!”
“Really Shane? Really? I find that a little hard to believe.”
“How? I’ve known you for like two days!”
“So? You know what Shane leave!”
“Bu-“
“Nevermind, I’ll leave!” She got up gripping her head and was almost out the door, when tripped on a sock, making her fall to the floor. “Damn sock!!!!!”
I couldn’t help but shake my head and laugh. She hopped back to her feet and glared at me.
“Don’t laugh!!!”
She stormed off down the hall while slamming my door shut on her way. My stomach grumbled again. I looked at my watch, was it really 1:30??? I ran downstairs into the kitchen where a very sad mom and tense rob where sitting.
“Oh hey guys,” I said quietly.
“Oh is she ok? Where is she? Is she sad? Is she heartbroken? Do we need to stock up on Ben and Jerry’s?”
“No, she’s fine and what? Why would she need ice cream?”
“Typical boy.” She muttered underneath her breath.
“Hey! I can here you. Didn’t they date for like a whole day or something??”
“Shane! He was her best friend too. Even if they weren’t going out at all, it’s still heartbreaking to lose someone you’ve know for practically your whole life”
“Whatever ma, anyways, what’s for lunch?”
“Well, we still have breakfast if you wouldn’t mind me heating it up.”
“Yeah, I haven’t eaten in like 12 hours. I’m a growing boy, I need food!”
“Yes drama queen, your wish is my command.”
“That is king to you, and I would like 6 chocolate chip pancakes please, with some fried bacon and freshly squeezed orange juice.”
“Ok how about four pancakes, some heated up bacon from earlier and a glass of orange juice that you pour from the carton!”
“Or that…”
“Good boy, now run along and go find Chels and Faith.”
“Yes Mum.”
**********************************************************************
Faith’s POV
My head is killing me!!! Everything was spinning and I couldn’t recognize anything!
“Fay is that you?”
“Chels? Are you their? Can you help me please?”
“Yeah sure Fay, and why are you alone you’re supposed to be with my brother.”
“You put that thing near me?!”
“What? NO! When you started crying he carried you upstairs and refused to leave until you were awake. He didn’t even leave to go eat, and that’s serious, Shane loves food. Back to the subject, where is he?”
“Well….”
“Well….. what?”
“I may have or may not have freaked out… umm, yeah.”
She just burst out laughing. “You’re kidding me right??!! That is absolutely hilarious!”
“And how?”
“He tried to help you and you totally turned into a psycho!”
“That’s not very nice!!!”
“I’d be a little freaked out to!” said a voice.
“What? Who said that?”
“Me, Prince…”
“Excuse me?”
“You forgot me already?”
“Uhh,…..”
“You’re imaginary friend, you idiot!”
“Ohhh-“
“Umm, Fay?” asked a worried looking Chelsea.
“Yeah?”
“I’m going to go down stairs, ok?”
“Yeah sure.”
Since Chelsea left, I decided to change. I took out a tank top and some shorts and proceeded getting ready. A few moments later a heard footsteps coming up the stairs and me, thinking it was Chelsea just continued. I had now just removed my shirt and sweatpants and shirt and threw on my shorts. There was a knock on the door. Come in I yelled. I turned around and faced a blushing Shane.
“Uhh, I thought you might want something to eat…”
“Yeah thanks, you can set it over there.” I pointed to the dresser in the front of the room.
Just as he was about to leave Shane tripped, on another damn bloody sock, and fell right on top of me. It was well… awkward. His whole body was on top of mine and just as I was about to say ‘Get the hell off of me,’ he reached down kissed me. When he did that, my whole body felt tingly. It was different then Todd’s, better. It was weird how I responded, my hands went straight to his soft hair and it was passionate yet, hungry?
I guess we were so into it we didn’t hear the footsteps coming up the stairs.
“Hahaha. I guess you where right all along here Shaney boy, your little toy here Faith is nothing but a slut.”
We looked behind us and it was Todd??!!
“I thought I told you never to set foot in this house ever again!” Shane roared.
“I left my glasses here and thought I’d grab them and run before anyone caught me, but I couldn’t help but notice your guys “Special Moment.” But anyways, no need stop, I’m leaving anyway.”’
“Hey Todd, let’s get one thing straight. First, have more dirt on you then your parents, second, I’d watch your back and third-“
“I got this Fire Truck, and Third, step foot in this house again, and I will kill you.”
**********************************************************************
Shane’s POV
Only one word can describe that kiss…. And it’s WOW.
But, then that fucking asshole had to come and ruin it!
Faith started talking, “So Shane about the kiss-“
“Yeah about that, I should probably go.” And I got up and quickly shut the door behind me.
But, before I left I could’ve sworn I heard her say, “Did I do something wrong?”
Of course she did nothing wrong! I just need some time to think. What would he parentals say? Besides she did just lose one of her best friends. And what about Chels? There’s no way she’ll approve of this.
There’s only one option, I’ll just have to stay away from her.’

The News

Faith’s POV
“Did I do something wrong?” I couldn’t help but ask myself. “I mean, i'm not the best kisser but there was something their! I felt it! I guess I could be imagining things, but still...”
I curled myself in ball next to the couch.
“Fay are you hungry?”Chels asked. “Hello?” She poked her head in the door with a tray of some of the breakfast food from earlier. She came and sat by me. “Hey Girlie.. you ok?” She had a look of concern on her face. “Wanna talk?”
I looked up at her and smiled. Her long dark hair was in her face and her light brown eyes slightly
