My Brother, His Best Friend and I

I moved out of the dressing room to the mirror, I couldn't decide between the off the shoulder knee length red one or the strapless silver one. I had tried both of them on multiple times and still couldn't make up my mind. The three boys had gone to the food court as Sydney and I tried on dresses for the spring formal.

Sydney was in the next room, trying on bunches of dresses, she came out in a black dress that hung off both shoulders and went a little passed her knees. I couldn't help but gasp, she looked stunning, she spun around knowing she looked good. "Why don't you just ask the guys for their opinion?" She asked as she went to change

I looked at the door and noticed they were back, I walked out looking at them, as of now I was wearing the silver one and I had the red one in my hand.

"RED!" My brother shouted and Jordon shook his head 'no' disagreeing with my brother and going with the silver one.

"Well Colin, be the tie breaker!" I walked closer to him and he was studying both dresses, before he pointed at the red one.

My brother pumped his fist in the air and cheered, I just rolled my eyes, Sydney came out dress in hand and Jordon whistled. I went to change and then to pay for my dress, I figured everybody was waiting outside the store. I handed the lady my money and noticed Lacey looking through the dress rack.

I wondered what she was doing here, the store wasn't good enough for here or Jamie, plus I figured they already had their dresses. I tied the bag tighter around my dress so she couldn't see and made my way out the store back into the mall.

Colin was standing in the corner talking to...Jamie, I walked over just in time to hear

"Sure Colin, Thanks for asking me I'd love to go with you" I rolled my eyes and she kissed his cheek

I slapped my dress in Colin's arms "Take the damn dress back yourself" He just watched me "We've been secretly-" I paused "I don't even know what the hell we are Colin!, 3 months of hiding and I thought maybe that it was time!"

I walked away down the mall back to my car, I just went back home I had a lot to think about.

COLIN"S POV***

"What the fuck was all that about?" Sydney asked and I guess I had to explain I pulled her into the game shop

"We've been secretly seeing each other for three months now and I asked Jamie to the dance Saturday night and I guess it made her upset"

She just slapped me in the back of the head "Of fucking course it made her upset you shit, your girlfriend watched you ask another girl to the dance!" She shouted

"She isn't my girlfriend and I can't take Andi to the dance, Jason would kill me!" I hissed

"girlfriend or not, she was hoping you would ask her, you can't keep playing fucking games with her you will lose her-" She looked up at me "forever"

She walked away leaving me there by myself, I knew she was right, I walked through the mall hugging her dress tightly. All the way through the mall people were clapping my back wishing me good luck in the game tomorrow.

I was nervous as hell thinking it about it, if we won tomorrow we were going to the big game but if we lost that's all people would remember me for. I wanted to leave that school a winner and I was damn sure gonna do it, I made my way to her house and sat in my car for awhile.

I finally worked up enough courage to go and knock on the door, I had strong feelings for this girl and I wasn't about to lose her. After three knocks and a long wait she opened the door, I could tell she had been crying and I felt a pain shoot through my chest, knowing I caused her tears.

I handed her, her dress and tried wiping the tears off her face but she turned the other way, I swallowed the knot that was in my throat. She turned on her heels and went up to her room, I followed hoping things would get better.

She sat on her window seat and motioned for me to follow, I leaned in hoping for a kiss and she only rested her forehead on mine. "I can't do this anymore" she whispered, that pain in my chest was back "hiding from the world, pretending, it's to much for me" I shook my head no

"Colin, I can't-" I was hurt which made me angry, everything I had given up for this girl, all the girls I've passed up on, all the lies I've told her brother, everything.

I jumped up and started pacing here room "How the fuck do you except me to win tomorrow night with all this on my mind!" I shouted

She walked over placing her hands on my shoulders "Win for me, okay?" I nodded "maybe on day we can try again, go out there and win for the school be their hero, win for your family, win for all those collages watching you, win for me, but most importantly win for yourself" She leaned up and placed a soft kiss on my lips

I wrapped my arms around her not wanting this moment to end, truth is, I was gonna go out tomorrow and give it everything I had for her, I didn't give a damn about the school, my family or even myself for that matter, she was gonna be my reason to win.

"What the hell?" Jason asked, I let her go and I could only look at the ground

"He was nervous about the game tomorrow, and I was telling it was gonna be okay he was gonna do fine" She said without a hint of worry in her voice

"Kap, you're gonna do great!" He shouted walking in her room and slapping an arm around my back squeezing me "You are the best!" I smiled as he pulled me outta the room

I chilled in his room for awhile before I decided to was time for me to go home and get some sleep, I had half a day tomorrow since we were traveling. I went to walk out the front door when I realized I left my keys in her room, I knocked slightly and no answer. I went in and she was sleep on her bed

I grabbed my keys off her dresser and made my way out "Good luck Colin" I heard her whisper as I closed the door. At that moment I realized I was in love with her

that little girl who used to follow her brother and I everywhere, her blonde girls bouncing all over the places before it all turned brown by the time she was a teen. I mentally beat myself for falling for his sister, I couldn't stop myself though she's amazing.
