-you're so whipped man-

Lili's POV

I woke up to the light shining on my eyes making me groan in frustration.

After about 5 minutes...or more, who knows, I involuntarily open my eyes and I was met with a sleeping Ryder.

My hand was on his chest as it rises and falls, my leg was around his waist and his head was by right below my ribs.

I start playing with his hair until he wakes up.

Soon enough, he stirs in his sleep and open his eyes.

"Good morning, Giraffie." I say.

"Oh, it's a good morning alright." He says with a lazy grin on his face.

This boy.

He gets up but I pull him back.

"Let's stay for a little longer." I plead and he chuckles before laying back down and hugging me close, so, now his chin was on top of my head and my leg was draped on his thigh while his arms circle around my waist.

"We still have school, you know?" He reminds.

"Fuck school." I mutter.

"I'd rather f-" I cut him off.

"Don't even finish that sentence." I glare at him through my eyelashes.

He chuckles at me.

"You're so adorable when you're mad." He comments.

"You're so ugly when you're annoying." I retort.

"Take that-" He was cut off by the door being opened and in stepped Kyle, wide eyed as he took in our state.

We both jumped out of bed in surprise as we panicked.

"Oh, shit. It wasn't supposed to go like this." I muttered under my breath.

"What the fuck?!" He exclaims.

"It's not what it looks like." I say, slowly. He gives me a look. "Okay, maybe it is what it looks like."

"I told you to stay away from her, fucking bastard." Kyle says, clenching his jaw.

"Language." I mutter.

"Kyle, just listen to us." Ryder says, trying to calm the chihuahua in front of us. Well, more like a bulldog I guess.

"We should take this downstairs, I don't want to wake up Oggy." I say.

Weirdly enough, they listened to me and Kyle stomped to the kitchen with Ryder and I trailing behind him.

We gather at the kitchen like the world war meeting but with me sitting in the counter and the two dicktwats, facing each other.

"Show me what shitty excuse you made up." Kyle glares.

"There's no excuse." I shrug.

He then turned to Ryder.

"What the fuck, man? We had a deal." Kyle walked closer to Ryder.

I saw some crackers next to me and took a few.

How convenient.

"I'm sorry, Kyle. As stupid as it sounds, she's the one I want." Ryder says and I didn't bother restraining an eyeroll.

Kyle scoffed.

"Yeah, you'll fuck my sister, then leave her and fuck some other girl." Kyle says.

Like you're any different.

"I won't." Ryder says and I could tell he was losing it.

"You're my bestfriend, Ryder. I know you. You think I'd believe you if you tell me that you finally decide to settle down. Oh, and that's not all, you're fucking my sister, too!" Kyle says, grabbing his collar.

"Well, if you really were my bestfriend you'd be happy for me! You would believe me and support us!" Ryder snapped.

Damn, the tea is sizzling hot. I thought as I took a bite of one of the crackers, listening intently.

Kyle let go of Ryder's collar harshly.

"I would be happy for you, but that's my fucking sister, you asshole." Kyle clench his fists.

Should I just watch them fight or should I interfere?

But if I interfere someone might punch me and I don't want that.

But then again if I don't, they will get hurt.

It's not anything they're not used to, right?

But the angel part of me-

"It's not your fucking choice." Ryder says.

Do I have to be the bigger person?

I kinda want some tea, though.

But-

"Lili!" They both snapped at me.

I put down my cracker and look at them oddly.

"Geez, what do you guys want?" I roll my eyes at the childishness.

"Do you love him, too?" Kyle asks.

"Duh, but you wouldn't understand 'cause you've never felt love." I say.

"How-" I cut him off.

"Or maybe you do, you know with my bestfriend." I narrow my eyes at him. "So, technically, you're being very hypocritical, right now."

"Lili. I-" I cut him off again.

"How would you feel if I tried separating you with her? You think I don't know?" I glare.

He clenched his fists and glares at the floor.

"I mean, on the bright side, if we get married, you guys would be actual brothers." I shrug, taking another piece of cracker.

"You don't understand how hard it is, Lili." Kyle says.

"Oh, really? You mean, if Ryder were to cheat on means you guys can't be friends anymore 'cause he hurt me?" I snap. "If you haven't figured it out yet, I would have to face th same thing if Sam cheated on you or you cheated on her."

The two boys were silent.

"You think I don't know what it's like to lose a friend?" I whisper.

I hopped off the counter and stopped walking just as I passed by Kyle.

"If you really do love and care about me, Kyle, you would let me be happy and be prepared to risk it all, just like Ryder did." I said, softly and walked up to my room.

I silently walked in my room.

Luckily we were the only ones home other than Oggy. My parents were at work already.

I started getting ready for school and changed into my outfit of the day.

I got my stuff with me before making my way downstairs.

I saw Kyle leaving without me and sighed.

I'll talk to him later I guess.

-•-

"Kyle, please talk to me." I plead.

Once again, he ignores me.

"Fuck you." I huff.

"What do you want?" He sighs and I grin.

"Just listen to me...please?" I plead.

He gives me a blank stare.

"Oh, come on. I used the magic word!" I exclaimed.

He rolls his eyes at me and sit up on his bed. "Go on." He nods in my direction.

"Okay. So, you kinda have the right to be mad at us but can you really blame us?" I sighed.

"Yes. Yes, I can." He says making me roll my eyes.

"As I was saying, he helps me out a lot, as do I. He might not show it to everyone else but he's a real softy. He's a softy whenever we're alone and that enough makes me feel special. He helped me through my...my...never mind that. All I'm saying is-" he cuts me off.

"He helped you through your what?" He narrows his eyes at me.

"My period. Okay?" I lied. "Next! All I'm saying is he's a good guy and he makes me happy. I like seeing him smile. It was odd at first because I never see him smile at school but now...he smiles everyday when we're together." I finish.

"Lili." He starts.

"I'm not done yet! The only way you would understand our situation is if you were in it. So, let's say, I don't approve of you and Sam. How would you feel?" I say, smugly.

He sighs and runs a hand down his face.

"Lili, I understand that. I just don't want him to hurt you. I know his ways. He humps and dumps. Yes, I do that, too, I know, but you're my sister and he's my bestfriend. I just need time." He says.

"Fine, but please don't be mad anymore." I say and he nods, hesitantly.

I grin.

"He's not mad anymore!" I yell, loudly and Ryder opens the door sheepishly with a lazy grin on his face.

"Hey, man." Ryder greeted making me chuckle.

"If you hurt her, I will hurt you again 10 times worse." Kyle threatens with a glare.

Ryder raises his hands in surrender and backs up a little.

"I love her." He smiles making my heart do a freaking circus show with a shawn mendes concert.

"You're so whipped, man." Kyle chuckles, throwing a pillow at Ryder.

"Stop abusing my boyfriend, you dickhead." I hit his arm.

"Oww! That doesn't mean you have to abuse me, stupid elephant!" Kyle defends.

"Hey, don't call her and elephant." Ryder defends making me nod.

"Call her a leprechaun." He smirks.

I scoff and they high-five each other.

"Too much testorone." I mutter and leave the room to let them have their bronding time. You know, bro-bonding? Hehe...cause they're like bro and-never mind, next topic!
