Chapter 265

It's not like i hadn't seen Adrian all this while, it's just that it is still surprising as of the moment. He still has the nerve to block Scott from coming to me, like for reals. 

I can only imagine exactly how I look right now, a mother hen that was expectantly expecting her chicks only for it to have them blocked and snatched away by an impossibly tall someone.

Sometimes I really forget exactly how tall Adrian is, well he isn't that tall, he isn't too-tall, Scott is probably just a head shorter than him and I'm guessing that I will also be that too, but that isn't the point here.

The point here is that he's stopping my brother from coming to me. For some weird reason this annoys me much more than I would have expected it to. I don't even know why it annoys me at all, but still with the anger that flows through me it is blazing hot.

For the most part of it we all just stand there in silence like that. I thought Adrian might have found the nerve to say something but it seems he hasn't and Scott is impatient.

He simply side steps him and comes to me, standing at my side like an obedient little puppy. I have to admit that as much as I do not like my brother getting drunk, i also love this new obedient side of him. I like this obedient little puppy that he turns into whenever he gets drunk and I cringe internally at myself for an equally embarrasing amount of time.

In the moment my brother had come to me I had felt happy, i had felt indescribably happy because in my eyes it signified something, something like hope.

"Can you play something for us again?" Oakley asks, practically trying to act cute. Scott shakes his head in the negative.

"My head is pounding like a battle is being waged inside. I think I need to sleep" he says. Again this manages to surprise me, because I would have expected my brother's words would come out slurred, or at least a little bit tipsy but he speaks normally. He speaks like he has full control of himself and he's aware of his each and every action. I'm somehow happy at this.

He turns heading towards the exit, and I don't know why I'm feeling this way, I don't know why I'm feeling so bad because Adrian is standing there. He is still standing there dejected, unable to say anything, and looking like he can't even process what is running through him right now.

I'm guessing that is the battle that everyone fights at one time in their life, the battle of having feelings that you can't really place, emotions that you did not want to be there but were there all the same and made you almost mad in the process.

"How about you come back with us?" I find myself saying. I almost slapp myself at this, i almost give myself a huge punch at this because I realised that I hadn't even considered Scott in all this.

Again I don't know why that nagging feeling tells me that this is all normal at some point.
