-Leikin's POV-

-Winter Break-

I sat on the kitchen counter and waited for my waffles to pop out from the toaster.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?" Nick asked. He was shirtless in his plaid pajama pants and his hair was messy, it appeared that he had just woken up.

I kept quiet. I wasn't going to talk to him all of a sudden. This boy must've lost his goddamn mind. "I know you're mad at me right now and you have every right to be. I know that when I get upset, I run my mouth a bit too much and I started thinking about the shit I've said to you and it made me feel bad to even think of saying what I said to you because I'd hate if anyone were to say those things to me. I'm sorry," He finished sincerely. I looked up and his eyes just pierced into mine.

Suddenly, my waffles popped out of the toaster. I walked over to the toaster and pulled out my waffles quietly and drowned them in syrup. I then walked past him and went up into my room. I put my iPod on it's dock and basted the music the loudest I could.

I couldn't believe that he'd really think that everything would be fine after he just apologized. No, it wouldn't he told me to drink myself to death and I apologized to him and he didn't accept it, so who is he to think that I'd accept his?

Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I swallowed the bit of food that was in my mouth.

"What?" I yelled over the music.

Suddenly, Nick appeared and closed the door behind him.

"Is this 'Shrink The World' by Yellowcard? I love this song!" He said, awkwardly laughing.

"Get out of my room, Nicholas," I stated, coldly.

"Can we just talk this out? I'm sorry, Lei."

"Remember the last time we tried that, I was told to drink myself to death, so, I'm pretty sure we don't need to," I replied. He kept quiet this time and just looked down at his feet.

"I'm sorry I don't blame you. I just really hoped you'd forgive me, but I don't blame you. I just hope you know that at the end of the day, I love you a lot and I'm here for you no matter what," He mumbled.

"Fine, I'll talk it out with you!" I stated turning my music off. I couldn't stay mad at this boy as hard as I tried he was my little brother and I didn't want to prolong anything more than it should've been.

"Well, I'm sorry for being a complete and total ass to you," He stated.

"Same here, you can be friends with whoever you want," I smiled.

"So, can I get a hug?" He asked, shyly.

"Sure," I smiled hugging him to me.

"I love you," He mumbled.

"Love you, too," I replied releasing him. "Now, go put on a shirt," I laughed. Nick turned to leave but quickly turned back around.

"I think I should mention something to you," He stated.

"What's up?"

"Jack is bad news and you know that, just don't get hurt by him. I’m not saying you shouldn't be friends with him or anything 'cause that's your choice, but don't get too attached. I don't want to see you hurt,"

"Thanks for the heads-up," I replied

"Anytime," He stated leaving.

My brother had absolute terrible timing. I was already attached to Jack, way too attached, at that.

Suddenly, my phone started to ring ripping me from thinking. I looked at my phone and it was Jack. Speak of the devil.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey, it's Jack. I was-uh wondering if you wanted to hang out today?" He asked.

"Sure, when?"

"Um, twenty minutes?"

"OK cool."

"Bye."

"Bye," I replied hanging up.
