Jack looked at Amy wide-eyed and shocked. "Brother?" He gasped.
"Yes, brother." Amy said. "Didn't you know?"
"You neglected to mention it." Jack said.
"Well, he comes to visit every once in a while. He's been at a boot camp for a couple years..." Amy trailed off.
"So, you've had a brother, and you never told me?" Jack exclaimed.
"You never asked, and I didn't think it would come up." Amy said.
"Well, we saw where that got us!" Jack said, pointing to the bruises on his neck.
"Look, my mom is on a business trip somewhere, she probably called Cody to come and check up on me. He's just really overprotective." Amy said, crossing her arms.
"More than really..." Jack muttered.
"You're such a drama queen." Amy said.
"Knock, knock!" a familiar voice rang through the house. Stan and Ben walked in to the living room. "Whoa, did you get trampled by a gorilla?" Stan asked Jack.
"Pretty close." Jack said.
"Derek?" Ben asked.
"Derek." Jack replied.
"Who are you?" Cody growled, walking into the living room.
"Whoa, down boy." Stan said, stepping back.
"Seriously, Cody. Don't you have anything better to do than be my personal bodyguard?" Amy retorted.
The brute of a brother seriously took the remark into consideration before looking back at his sister.
She sighed in frustration. "Alright, you stay here. I'm going out. Come on guys."
"Girl power." Stan said as he passed Cody, then followed his friends outside.
"Who votes we go see a late show?" Amy said as they walked outside.
"How about we just walk?" Jack said.
"Sounds good to me." Stan said.
"Same here." Ben added.
"Fine, we'll walk." Amy approved.
The four friends walked in silence down the town streets. There weren't much people out, and the streets glistened with the puddles from the recent rain. The silence was broken when Ben's quiet voice spoke up.
"Have you ever considered joining the army?" he asked.
"Not really...why?" Jack replied.
"Well, I've been thinking that when I turn eighteen, I would join. Serve the country and crap like that." Ben said sheepishly.
Amy looked at Ben wide-eyed. Then she wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. "Ben, no!" she cried into his shoulder.
Ben was taken aback for a moment, then put his hand on her hair. "Amy, it was just a thought, and even if I did, it would be in two years. You would've already forgotten me, anyway." he said softly.
Amy looked up at him with watery eyes. "No, I won't have forgotten you, any of you." she turned to her other two friends.
"Aw, group hug." Stan said, bringing Amy, Jack and Ben into a big hug.
Jack pulled away, and put his hand on Ben's shoulder. "If you really wanna join the army, man, you know the rest of us will be right behind you.
Ben smiled, and the four friends walked down the street together, laughing and talking.
They didn't know it would be their last night of peace.
Dun dun dun!!!!!!!!!! Okay, that's it!!!!!!!!! Please review. Thank you. :D
