I’m going to reach out and see if he needs anything
This is why I love you
Opening a new text thread,I type in Duncan’s name and fire off amessage.
Dax
Look, I know we don’t always see eye to eye on a lot of things, but if you need anything, I’m here for you
Duncan
Fuck you
If you weren’t such a damn Goody Two-shoes, I wouldn’t be in this situation
How the hell is this my fault?
If I didn’t have to live up to your name, I’d be fine
Sorry, this is all you
You’re the big brother and the family favorite
I’m not taking the heat about this for you
Then fuck off
I’ve tried to be the bigger person, Duncan, but I’m done
Done with the way you treat me, treat Chloe
I’m over it
If you really need my help, I’m here for you, but it doesn’t seem like you do
I flipmy phone around and show the guys what Duncan said.
“What a fucking asshole,” Jasper says. “He thinks this isbecause of you? What warped sense of self does he have that you’re the cause of all of his problems?”
“I don’t know, but if this means I’m done, I can’t complain.”
“Still sucks to lose a brother,” Marcus says.
I shake my head. “I have you guys. That’s all that matters.”
“Aww.” Noah leans over, giving me a noogie. “You love us.”
“Get off.” I push him off of me. “Are you twelve?”
Marcus tips his beer in our direction. “This is what you get when you say we’re your brothers.”
“I regret it already.”
“No, you don’t. You love us,” Bode says. “We love you too.”
“Aren’t you guys supposed to be hockey players?” The bartender comes up from behind us, startling me.
“We’re in touch with our feelings. You should try it,” Jasper bites out.
