Ed's POV
"Hey!" I called. She turned around, facing me with a confused look. "Aren't you Al's girlfriend?"
She smiled and nodded, coming closer. "You're his brother, aren't you?"
"Yeah. By the way, do you know where he is? I need to talk to him about something."
She shrugged. "No, I don't sorry." There was a pause. An awkward one at that. "...So." I gave her my full attention. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
I shook my head. "No. I'm always away, there's not enough time to meet someone."
She laughed. "I wouldn't mind," she said. I raised an eyebrow.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
She laughed again. "I'm about ready to dump Al. Ever since I first saw you yesterday, I just...I don't know. There's just something about you..." She stepped closer, smiling. I took a step back.
"What do you mean?"
She laughed a third time. "You're a bit slow, aren't you? I'm saying, be my boyfriend. I don't care about Al. Don't you want a girlfriend?"
I blinked. With just a few sentences, she had lost me. My mind was racing, jumbled up and confused. "You mean you'd...ch-cheat on him? My BROTHER? And you expect me to support that?!"
She took another step, laying her arms across my shoulders. "Yup!" Her lips got closer to mine, far too close, before I shoved her away. She lost her balance stumbled against the wall of a building, giving me a hurt look. "Eeeedddd…" she pouted. "Why'd you do that?"
I was so angry that I was nearly shaking. Again, with only few words, she had set me off. Very few people could do that. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" I roared. "YOU'VE BEEN DATING HIM FOR MONTHS! HE LOVES YOU! AND YOU THINK IT'S OKAY TO GO AND TRY TO KISS HIS BROTHER?! YOU FUCKING -BITCH-!" I know it's the girl that's supposed to slap the guy, but I couldn't help it. I hit her across the face, leaving a huge red mark, before stomping off.
I almost didn't want to tell Al, to hurt him. But it would just hurt him more if he found out.
Still, it would be hard. How would he react?
It was the closest I had been to 'scared' in a long time.
