Time's Moving Way Too Fast

Disclaimer: All characters, etc., belong to their owners...yep...just wrote this story here.

I know I haven't posted here in a while. I'll get back to my second trilogy soon. Anyway, I got this idea from AlisonLydon last winter and I began it, but I didn't finish it. I did find a new spark for it between classes today, though. I've only got a couple chapters written. This one won't be completed and posted, I'm posting as I'm writing...I did the same with Twisted Situations, but I hope the time inbetween updates won't be as long. I do have classes, though, so don't be surprised if it takes a while for some chapters to go up.

Prologue

Drake drove through the night very upset with his brother. How could he and Mindy do such a stupid thing? Drake was supposed to be the irresponsible one, not Josh. How could he have been such an idiot? Not even Drake would make the mistake of doing this with a girl now.

Their parents were going to be really upset. Although, they technically couldn't do anything about it. Josh and Mindy were eighteen. Both just graduated from high school.

Drake let out a huge sigh. Why was he going, then, if he wasn't happy with Josh's decision? Because Josh wanted his support. It would kill Josh if Drake wasn't there. Drake wouldn't let his brother down. Josh was still going to get a piece of his mind when Drake got there, though.

Did Josh and Mindy know what they were doing? They had their entire lives ahead of them, and they were throwing it all away. Drake had never much cared for Mindy, but she made Josh happy. This was the last straw, though. Here, Drake would put his foot down.

When Josh had told Drake he was dating Mindy, Drake had been as supportive as possible. He was even the one who helped them get back together.

"Damn it, Josh!" Drake said out loud. "I'm the one who's supposed to make these screw ups, not you!"

It was true. Drake was supposed to charm the ladies. He was supposed to get caught up in the moment and make these kinds of stupid decisions.

Drake had never done this, though. Why would he? It would tie him down. It would make him less independent. Was that what Josh wanted? Drake hated the thought of it. At least right now. Maybe someday Drake wanted that, but for now, he was still eighteen. He still had plenty of time to decide whether or not he wanted to take that path or not. Commitment wasn't easy, especially for Drake. The girls still loved him, though. That was the problem, maybe he didn't want to break anybody's heart. Maybe he didn't want what Josh was after because he didn't want to hurt anyone by leaving them alone. Wait, he was only eighteen. There was lots of time to make a choice on the issue. Maybe he'd grow out of this eventually, or he'd meet someone who was worth ending playing the field. Well, he'd just have to wait.

Besides, this wasn't about Drake. This was about Josh.

"Why'd you have to run off to marry that creature?"
