"Doubtfully True"

Scout took a cold shower after she left, running the soap over his chest and down by his inner thigh, he felt himself harden, but did not satisfy his aching need for he knew the object of his desire was untouchable, he put his soap back up on the rack and turned the knobs bringing the water to a screeching halt, stepping out droplets ran down his stomache before he grabbed his towel to dry off. Shaking his head he threw the towel around his body.

"She's my sister.." he muttered over and over as he exited the bathroom. Dressing quickly he got his cell phone out and dialed her number. "I better wait another 15 mintues," he said out loud. He walked over to his portable coffee pot, added some beans and hit the brew button. Just as he sat back down, running his fingers through his still damp hair, his door opened.

"Hey Scout."

"Hey Krudski."

"Where were you this morning?"

"Headed off to help Chris but our delivery got screwed up," Will said taking a seat next to his friend. Scout opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, getting up on his feet he went back to the now brewed coffee.

"Want some?" he asked coughing a little.

"No thanks, i'm good, i had some before," Will smiled and then a look of concern entered his face. "Scout, you looked like you wanted to say something...whats wrong?"

"Nothing." he tried to say happily but it was unconvincing.

"Scout you do know i saw her...." he trailed.

"Saw who," Scout said innocently, he wasn't doing a very good job of keeping a poker face.

"Who do you think Scout? Bella, last I checked you two weren't suppose to be having all night slumber parties." he finished extending his arm to point out Scout's bed on the other side of the room.

"It's not like that Will," Scout said angrily.

"What's it like Will? Look, this is getting ridiculous, at the drop of her name your face lights up like a fucking Christmas tree. She's your sister man, and if you really loved her you'd lay off and stop trying to pursue a fantasy of yours thats never going to come true. And that's all it is, it's a fantasy, a warped image in your head of something you dream of but in reality know you could never have." Will stopped looking at Scout he slowly ducked his head between his legs and sobbed a bit, Will got up and kneeled next to his roomate rubbing his back. "I'm sorry Scout, I didn't mean to get you this upset, but i had to bring the truth out to you somehow and that's all i could think of." he sighed. Scout lifted his head and wiped his reddish eyes.

"I didn't do anything with her Will, i forgot she was there and i laid down and fell asleep in pure innocence so all your ranting is really not necassary! Why should you care anyway Will, whats it your problem that i have this desired attraction towards her that gets me through the day!" he punched the sofa arm before getting up to leave.

"She's my best friend Scout, you expect me not to care? I've known her a hell of alot longer than you and i know how her heart works...if you keep pushing this so called innocent desire with her she's gonna shut down and shut you out...don't say i didn't warn you," Will's face was flushed from yelling as he walked over standing directly across from Scout an inch from his nose, staring into his eyes. "Maybe I'm the one that should go," he lowered his tone and walked out slamming the door leaving Scout facing the short distance to his bed, where he then went and began to sob into his hands again. Just then his cell rang, he hit the talk button and cleared his throat.

"Hello?" he said in a still scratchy voice tone.

"Hey you," she replied cheerfully.
