Breakups
Joe's pov
(A/N: The King sisters do not exist in this oneshot)
I had just gotten off the phone with Cassie, my girlfriend of 6 months. Well, would have been 6 months tomorrow. But she dumped me, and had been cheating on me for over half our relationship. I hated the tears that were rolling down my cheeks. I was stopped momentarily by my phone ringing, and I picked up after seeing it was Connor
"Hey, C. How are you?"
Not beating around the bush and knowing me better than anyone else in my life, my brother wasted no time in shooting back
"Better than you. Why were you crying? And worse, trying to hide it from me of all people?"
I sighed
"Cassie text-dumped me, and was cheating on me for over 3 months..."
His voice softened
"I'm so sorry, J. Come by the house, Grandpa and Pop are gone for the afternoon, we can just stuff our faces with chocolate, ice cream and soda and watch movies."
A smile returning to my lips, I spoke
"Make it root-beer floats with Scream, and you have yourself a deal. Thanks, bro."
His reply came quickly
"Anything for you."
I quickly arrived, only to see he had already set everything up. He quickly hugged me tight, then asked
"Would I get in trouble for keying her car?"
I nodded
"Yes. I appreciate it, but please don't get in trouble over her."
He sighed
"Fiiine."
The rest of the night lifted my spirits quite a bit. I love my entire family, but Connor just has a special way of knowing exactly what I need, every single time.
