Chapter 9
Emma was sitting on Nate's bed in a pair of one of her brothers old boxer shorts, and a ratty old tee shirt. Both Ryan and Nate were passing back and forth neither of them saying anything, but occasionally they would through her a glance and then they would shake their heads. Emma shifted uncomfortably and stole a glance over at Ben who was sitting in a chair directly across from her. He was sitting unbelievably still staring strait forward, almost as if he knew that any sudden movement would result in something bad. Emma giggled at this and both her brothers turned and faced her. Staring defiantly at them she spoke
"What?" she asked
"What, that's all you have to say for your self?" Nate said turning to face her. Emma could tell something was off in his voice but she couldn't tell what she had never heard this voice before.
" What should I have to say for myself?" Emma said
"Umm maybe you could start with sorry Ryan and Nate I didn't mean to go behind your back and DATE OUR BEST FRIEND with out telling us or asking permission" Ryan said.
Emma stood up her green eyes flashing with anger
"Oh so now I have to ask permission before I date someone is that it, well guess what I'm not your child I'm your sister and I don't have to tell you shit!" Emma yelled
"OH YES YOU DO, DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW THIS MAKES US F" but Nate never got to finish
"OH MY GOD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! YOUR GOING TO MAKE ME OUT TO BE THE BAD ONE TROPMING ALL OVER YOUR FEELINGS, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES SOME GIRL THAT YOU HOOKED UP WITH HAS COME TO ME ASKING WHEN YOUR GOING TO CALL, AND THEN I HAVE TO DEAL WITH HER WHEN SHE FINALIY REALIZES ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BAD I FEEL FOR HER BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS!" Ryan let out a laugh and Emma turned to him, he instantly stopped laughing.
" WHATS SO FUNNY MR. IM OH SO INTELAGANT. FOR SOME ONE SO SMART I SEEM TO HAVE TO SAVE YOUR ASS A LOT!"
"OH YA WHEN?" Ryan yelled back getting angry
"UMM HOW ABOUT EVERY TWO WEEKS WHEN YOU GET SO DRUNK THAT YOU CANT SEE STRAIT AND I HAVE TO MAKE SURE MOM AND DAD DON'T FIND OUT, OR ALL THOSE GIRLS YOU HAVE FOOLD WHEN YOU PULL OUT A BOOK, YOUR JUST AS BAD AS HIM!" Emma said pointing to Nate. " YOU BOTH MAKE ME SICK, FOR ONCE I'M NOT PLAYING THE SAINT THAT YOU TWO MAKE ME OUT TO BE, AND WHAT DO YOU DO YOU FLIP OUT! WELL I'M DONE ITHER YOU TWO GROW UP AND STOP THINKING ABOUT YOURSELVES OR I'M NEVER GOING TO HELP YOU OUT AGAIN." And with that Emma walked over to Ben and grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the chair he was sitting in" Come one Ben were leaving" she said breathing heavily.
"But" Ben said looking at both Ryan and Nate with a hit of fear in his eyes, he knew he didn't want to cross them he knew what they were capable of when they put their brains together. Emma gave a sharp tug and he found himself following her out the door.
Both Nate and Ryan were left there standing, staring at the door that their baby sister and her boy friend just walked out. Letting out a deep breath Ryan sat down in the chair Ben had just vacated.
" I guess she does have a point," He said as he ran his fingers though his blond hair.
"What? Now you're siding with her!" Nate said turning to look at Ryan " She doesn't know what she's talking about, sure she might do that from time to time but that's just her filling her sisterly duties"
" Nate, I don't think all the stuff she does for us are her required sisterly duties like all the stuff with your random lovers she doesn't have to do that, most of the time she doesn't even know them, they just seek her out because they know that you and her talk and are hoping to have her say something about them to you, and I have to agree with her, you really need to learn how to keep it in your pants" Ryan said with a smile
" Aw shut up, and what about you, you get so trashed at every party you go to that Emma always has to take you home and then you become like her little patient until your fully functioning again, I think you should lay off the bottle"
" You know what, I really think that with out Emma out lives would be majorly different. You would have to watch out for old crazy girls coming out of the wood work and I would have to get though the weekend by myself with out mom or dad noticing, I think that all in all with her around we live a pretty good life" Ryan said
Nate just looked at him, but then slowly began to nod his head in agreement.
"Ya I guess your right, she's the best little sister we could have asked for, even when we were little she was always saving our asses like that one time we dropped water balloons full of vinegar and ketchup on Mrs. S and Em was the one who took the blame allowing us to go to the soccer tournament out in Cali that if we would have stepped up we wouldn't have gone, Mom would have made sure no matter what dad said" Nate said
" I think we owe her big time" Ryan said
"Agreed, now lets go find her so we can give her and Ben our blessing and make up for the fact that were a pair of asses to her" Nate said and he began to walk towards the door and out of the room.
Ryan got up out of the chair he was sitting in and began to follow Nate out. He didn't know what it was but he felt as though something in their relationship was changing and he hoped it was for the better.
