Eddie

Eddie-I'm tired of watching you play Zelda, Tyler. Lets play Mario Kart.

Tyler-Why, so you can kick my ass at it?

Ian-No, so I can beat both of you.

Tyler/Eddie-Fuck you!

Knock knock knock

Tyler-Who could that be this late at night?

He leaves the room to answer the door.

Ian-So mate, how long has it been?

Eddie-What do you mean?

Ian-How long has it been since you've gotten laid?*chuckle*

Eddie-*chuckle* Oh, about a year? Maybe a little longer?

Ian-Woah! Maybe Tyler and I could set you up with someone.

Just then Tyler walks in with a girl. She is so beautiful. All I can do is stare. I wonder who she is. Ian stands up and walks over to her and Tyler.

Ian-Well mate, who is this lovely lady?

Tyler-Ian, Eddie, this is my sister, Loren.

Loren-Hi

I had no idea that Tyler had a sister. I can tell that she had been crying and when she turned her head, I saw a fading bruise on her cheek. I wonder what happened to her.

Loren

What am I doing here? I should go back. But I can't go back, he would probable kill me. Before I can stop myself, I knock on the door. A few minutes later, the door opens and I rush to hug my brother, Tyler. He hesitates for a moment, then hugs me back. After a few more seconds, I pull back.

Tyler-Loren? What are you doing here?

Loren-Can I stay with you for a while?

Tyler-Yeah. Anything for you.

Loren-Thank you. I missed you so much.

I hug him as a few tears slide down my cheeks.

Tyler-Lo, whats wrong?

Loren-I don't want to talk about it right now.

Tyler-Okay, hey I have some friends over, would you like to meet them?

I put on a fake smile.

Loren-Yeah, sure. I would love to meet them.

Tyler leads me into a room where I see two very attractive men sitting on the couch. They turn to look at us and one of them gets up and makes his way over to us.

Mystery Guy-Well mate, who is this lovely lady?

He had an Australian accent, and I know that most girls would find that sexy, but I just couldn't take my eyes off of the guy on the couch. He was staring at me with the most beautiful brown eyes I have ever seen.

Tyler-Ian, Eddie, this is my sister Loren.

I realized that that was my queue to talk.

Loren-Hi

I looked over at the guy on the couch. I assumed that he was Eddie. He looked like an Eddie. He was looking at me with an odd expression of compassion and interest. I look away, embarrassed, but I realize too late that I had just showed him one of my many bruises.

Tyler-Hey Lo, do you want to play Mario Kart with us?

Loren-As much as I would love to kick your ass at Rainbow Road, I think I would rather go take a shower and go to bed.

Eddie laughed, a laugh that was gentle and rhythmic. Beautiful.

Tyler-Okay, good night.

Tyler gently kissed the top of my head. I walked out of the room to go take a shower.
