Chapter 225

The way Scott says this makes me know that he's also dealing with something at the moment. It reminds me that it was only yesterday that what would have been considered the greatest heartbreak in history took place.

Well Scott doesn't look bothered by it, he doesn't even look bothered in the least as he simplest sips Oakley's smoothie with something of a bored expression on his face.

"I'm telling you that next time, next time if anyone is ever trying to do something to you that doesn't look to be in your best interest, if anyone, is ever trying to harass you, you land them a slap on the face and walk off like you didn't do anything you weren't supposed to do".

I nod my head sagely at him.

"Yes master, oh wise and venerent one".

Oakley gives something of a smile at this point and I notice she has been watching us. She has been watching us for a long time now, probably ever since Scott snatched her smoothie away and I also give her something of a complacent smile.

"Now don't we make a nice bunch, Three heartbroken people who have their life in shambles".

"Who told you my life is in shambles?" Oakley asks but she still releases a pleased smile at the end of it all.

She releases a pleased smile that makes me know that she is also in a similar situation to me.

"How about we talk about our feelings today?" I ask and Oakley's face simply lights up in a delighted smile, before it goes to being cloudy.

"I really don't want to talk about him" she says, and I nod my head.

"That's fine, we don't have to talk about him, or anyone else, you can simply talk about how you're feeling right now?".

"Why do we suddenly have to talk about our feelings?" Scott asks with something of a red tinge behind his ears. I think he is reasoning along the line of thought that would imply that I was trying to target him.

Sure enough I haven't found a way to actually talk to my brother about what had happened yesterday. I hadn't found a way to talk to him about his relationship with Adrian, or when he actually realised that such a relationship had been developing between the both of them, and it would seem simply asking us to talk about our emotions now would simply come off as shrewd.

It will simply come off as me not being able to talk to him and so I'm taking an easier way out.

"Emotions are what make us stupid, how about we talk about them so we can stop being stupid in the future?" I say and Oakley gives me a pleased smile at this.

"So how do we decide who will get to start first?" she asks and I smile one of my most mysterious smiles.

"How about we play a game of rock-paper-scissors?".

"Rock-paper-scissors?" Scott says, his face looking bland and unlikely. I'm pretty sure he will be the first to lose.

"Sure let's play rock-paper-scissors".
