Jared sat on his bed, looking at the ceiling when the phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was Sophia, he smiled.
"Portman residence," He said, almost hearing her roll her eyes. "I'll get Andy,"
"No," She quickly said. "I wanted to talk to you, actually," She said and he was surprised. "I'm gonna tell Andy about our kiss." She said and he sat up. "I can't stand to lie to him anymore and he deserves to know the truth."
"Are you out of your mind?" He asked. "The kid hates me enough."
"Andy doesn't hate you," She told him. "And he won't hate you, he might hate me but I have faith that he'll get over it and forgive us both."
"Are you high?" He asked and she sighed. "No, I'm seriously, Soph, please supply me with your drug dealer because I'd love to try whatever you're smoking."
"Aren't you funny?" She said, sarcastically and he smiled. "But I'm serious, I love him and we need to be honest with him."
"You can do whatever you want," He shrugged. "Just don't be disappointed when it doesn't go how you think it will."
"Andy will be mad at us but if he really loves us, he'll forgive us." She told him and he shook his head.
"You're delusional."
"Goodbye, Jared!" She said, about to hang up.
"Wait!" He said and she pressed the phone back to her ear. "How are you doing? With your dad and stuff?"
"Alright, I guess," She shrugged. "He still has no idea and my mom says she's waiting for the right time, apparently that means never."
He laughed. "Well, if you need anything, I'm here."
"I know, thanks." She said and hung up. Jared sighed and lay back down. He turned to his side and saw Jen looking up at him.
"Sorry," He said, "Didn't mean to wake you."
"Was that Sophia?" She asked and he looked at her. "Tell me the truth, Jared."
"Well, yeah," He said. "But she just wanted to talk to my brother."
"Don't lie to me," She said, sitting up, wrapping the covers around her chest.
He sighed. "She just needed my advice for something, okay?" He said and she looked at him.
"For what?"
"Does it really matter?" He asked and then shook his head. "Anyways, when did you become the jealous type?"
She frowned. "Jared, why can't you let me in?"
He groaned. He was not in the mood for this. He stood up and walked over to his desk in his boxers. "I do let you in," He told her. "In fact, I let you in all night." He said, laughing to himself.
She narrowed her eyes at him. "I'm being serious, Jared!" She said and he looked at her. "Ever since we've been together, you haven't opened up to me, not once! Especially not about Sophia or your mom,"
"Because those are two things I really don't like to talk about," He said, sharply and she looked up at him. "I thought you understood that."
"I do, but-"
"No, I thought we were having fun, Jen?" He asked. "And now you're throwing this crap at me? Don't even try to act like you thought this was going to last forever,"
"I didn't," She rolled her eyes. "But,"
"So, why bother fighting about it? Why can't we just enjoy it?" He asked.
"Because I want more, I want more from you." She told him and he shook his head.
"I've given you all I can give," He told her and she looked down.
"Then I guess you're not enough for me," She whispered, getting up. She got dressed and walked out. Jared walked to the doorway, watching her leave and sighed.
He heard someone clapping behind him and turned around.
"Great job, big brother," Andy said, smugly. "You just manage to shoot every girl who cares about you out the window, don't you?" He said and Jared glared at him. "Don't worry, I'm sure Jen will be at my door in no time, they always realize who the better Portman is eventually."
"Just like Sophia, right?" Jared said and Andy looked at him. "I don't know if you're right about that one, baby bro, because after that kiss, I mean…"
"What kiss?" Andy asked.
Jared smirked at him. "Oh, she didn't tell you?" He asked and Andy looked confused. "You know, the kiss that happened while I was in the hospital? You two were together then, right?"
"You bastard!" Andy shouted, plunging forward and punching Jared in the face.
"That was a good shot," Jared said, holding Andy away from him. "You need to work on your right hook though," He said and Andy punched again but Jared dodged it. "Oh, sorry about that," He said and Andy glared at him. "My turn," He whispered and then punched his little brother as the two started fighting.
"Enough!" Dean shouted, running up the stairs as he put himself between his two sons. "What the hell has gotten into you two?!"
"He kissed Sophia!" Andy said, trying to push past his father.
"She was mine in the first place!" Jared shouted back.
"This needs to stop, now!" Dean said, looking at his sons. "Do you think your mother would be proud of you right now?!" He asked and the boys released their tension. "I didn't think so," He said, angrily. "Now, I know I haven't been the world's greatest father the past few months but that's changing and so is the relationship between you two,"
"But dad, he kissed my girlfriend!"
"I don't care, Andrew," Dean said, sternly. "I'm sick and tired of seeing you two fight over the same damn thing and to be honest, it's tiring me out," He said and Andrew looked down. "Your mom would want you two to get along and that's what you're going to do and if you can't do that, you don't even want to know what's going to happen."
He let go of them both and headed up to his room.
"I'm sorry, Andy," Jared said. "I shouldn't have kissed her, okay? I just, I still had feelings for her back then and I,"
"You don't owe me an explanation," Andrew said. "We'll get along in front of Dad but understand that this brotherhood between us, it's gone, it's dead. Just like Mom." He said, coldly and went into his room.
Jared stood there, speechless.
