It's finally here! Chapter 9 *clapping*. Hey guys this is totally random but go check out my new story Missing You. Okay well we left off with her calling Mason so let's pick up from there.

Chapter 9

The phone rings a few times. Come on pick up Mason. Just answer the stupid phone. It's not that hard. Then I heard the phone pick up. Oh thank goodness he finally answered.

"Oh my gosh. I'm so happy you answered." I blurted out. He probably had no idea how happy. Right now I needed someone to talk to and I chose him. Whenever I had a problem he always listened.

"Alex? Calm down. What's wrong?" he answered. So he did still care. Aww. Then I heard Justin walking down the stairs. The door opened and closed. He was gone. Now I could talk to him.

"One well I'm really sorry that I yelled at you and two it's complicated There is this guy and I guess we're dating and then he goes out with this other girl today. Does that mean anything?" I explained. Hopefully it didn't.

"It's hard to tell. Either the guy wants to see other people, he doesn't like you, or he wants to see what other options there are." Mason replied. That was good. I think. Maybe he wanted to make sure I was the right one for him. But he know that I am.

"Thanks. You're the best Mason!" I giggled. He laughed. Then it was silent for just a moment. We hadn't talked since the break up. Now I was calling him about another boy. That actually seemed really rude. I said sorry though.

"Ya, I've been told." he sighs. I hadn't just called to ask him that. I really wanted to hear his voice again, just one more time. Right now I was just trying to be a normal teenager girl who doesn't love her brother. We talked for another hour before he hung up. Right as Justin walked in the door. Oh great.

"Alex." he hung up his keys and walked towards me. I so did not want to hear his excuses right now. I'm in a good mood. Justin did not need to ruin that. He brought negative energy into the room.

"What Justin? Did you have fun with your girlfriend? I bet she was amazing." I snapped. Justin raised his eyebrows. Then he laughed, shaking his head, mumbling something. His cheeks were red. I felt dumb standing here now.

"Alex, that was absolutely the worst time of my life. All I could think about was you. She was fun but I can't stop thinking about you." he replied, sauntering towards me. No that was a lie.

"Sure. Say what you want to say. I just can't believe you didn't turn her down," I laughed and started to walk away. "Oh and by the way, I talked to Mason while you were gone.": Then I stomped to my room. Maybe he would realize how much it hurt to be told that you were talking to an ex. I could hear Justin stopping toward his room. Gosh he was loud. Then the song "Angel Eyes" by Love and Theft came pounding through the walls. It was my favorite song by my favorite band. It really got to me. That was it. I ran into his room. He was lying flat on his bed, messing with his pocket knife. He always did that when he was stressed.

"What?" he snapped. He turned the radio down. How did Justin get this song anyways? He hates this song. That's how I used to annoy him all the time. The look on his face when I played it was hilarious.

"Is it too early to say I'm sorry?" it was a really stupid question. It switched to the next song, "Inside Out". Justin shrugged and opened the pocket knife. I stomped over to him and grabbed it out of my hand. The blade cut my finger.

"Alex!" he sat straight up. My finger hurt so much. Justin came over and rushed me to the kitchen. He grabbed something from the medicine cabinet. Then he put it on my cut. It made it hurt really bad.

"Ow1" I screamed. After that he put a bandaid on it. Stupid Justin with his pocket knife. He brought me in for a hug but I pushed it away. I thought it was too early to say sorry. According to his shrug.

"Now your refusing my love after I just saved your finger." he demande.d. I rolled my eyes. This is where it most seemed most brother and sisterly. It was always going to be like that between us though. He was my brother after all.

"Ya. According to your shrug it's too early to say sorry." I hopped down from the counter. Justin grabbed my wrist, turning me to him. Oh great now he was going to give me a big sorry. He was going to keep explaining it and then never shut up.

"I'm sorry. okay. Maybe I'm stupid at times. I got jealous that you were with Dean yesterday. That's just how I am. Alex, I don't want any boy with you other than me." he rubbed his eyes. I bit back the urge to cry. He was convincing me slowly.

"Fine, your forgiven." I spat. Justin intertwined our hands, bringing me closer to him. This was so wrong but was so right. He brought our foreheads together. I blushed. Then he laughed.

"I love you Alex." he whispered. My heart sank. It felt like it weighed a million pounds. It felt like he just dropped a bomb on me. He said it. Those words and meant it. I don't know if I can say it back. Slowly, I backed up.

"I-" I stopped myself. I didn't need stupid things coming out of my mouth. Justin looked hurt. Now I felt horrible. Just because I couldn't say I love you back. What was wrong with me? I'd told him I loved him before. I guess this meant something different to me now.

"It's okay. Your not ready." Justin looked away. Ya I guess it was something like that. Not being ready. I didn't even think we were dating so it felt weird to say that. Really weird. Especially since he's my brother. My brother for goodness sakes!

"It's not that. It's hard to explain." I replied. Maybe I should just shut up now and not say anything. I tend to stay stupid things alot.
