《My best friends brother》Chapter 5
Advertisement
I didn't sleep much that night. The fact that someone would do that. To a female upset me. Before I went to bed I made sure everything was locked. Windows and doors. When it came to five in the morning I got out of Aubrey's bed and went to the door. I unlocked it and went outside. Jaxon was sitting on a chair outside the room with a baseball bat. He looked like he didn't get any sleep either. He looked at me.
"Hey you okay?" He asked standing up. I nodded. He pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back.
"Let's go downstairs" he said pulling away. We went downstairs.
Alison his mom was making coffee. She looked up at us.
"Hey kiddos" she said.
"Are you doing any better?" She asked. I shrugged.
"I see you guys got no sleep" she said.
"I was worried about her so I stayed up with a base ball bat outside Aubrey's room" Jaxon said. She nodded.
"Luckily your dad had his gun here" she said. He nodded. I sat down at the table.
Alison didn't say much after that. She just got her morning coffee and made some breakfast for us. I didn't touch it. I wasn't feeling hungry. Jaxon pulled me to him. I rested my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes and felt very tired. I felt him pick me up and carry me upstairs. I gripped his shirt the whole way up there. I felt the bed beneath me and I let his shirt go.
I woke up later on. I was in Jaxons room. He was sleeping on the floor. Aubrey walked in and sat down by me.
"Are you feeling okay?" She asked.
"Yeah. I'm tired" I answered. She nodded.
"Jaxon told me you didn't sleep. That you went downstairs and fell asleep at the kitchen table so he brought you in here. He didn't want to wake me up. I'm okay with it. I just hope that you're okay after last night" she replied.

"I don't think I'm ever getting Grubhub again" I responded.
"Never again" she said agreeing with me.
"Why don't you get some more sleep and Jaxon will take you home if you want" she added.
"I think I'm gonna walk home. Do you mind if I take the bat with me?" I replied. She nodded. I got out of the bed. I went into her room and changed into different clothes. I grabbed my bag. On the way out of her room I grabbed the bat that was against the wall.
Later on when I was home I was laying in my bed when Jaxon came through the window. He came over to the bed and took his shoes off. He got into the bed and pulled me close to him.
"I could have brought you home" he said.
"You needed sleep" I replied.
"I could sleep here. With you" he responded.
"You're here now. So let's just cuddle" I said. He smiled and pulled me closer to him. He put my leg over his. I snuggled my head closer to his chest.
I ran downstairs to the kitchen. Jaxon was following me downstairs. He grabbed my waist and pulled me to him.
"I'm hungry" I said smiling.
"Let's go out" he replied.
"It's late. What place is open at 11" I responded.
"I know a few places" he said. I nodded. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door.
He took me to sheetz. We went to the order computer. He stood behind me with his hand on my waist. We ordered food. He went to pay and I stayed near the food. He came back and smiled at me.
"See I know a few places that are open" he said smiling at me.
"Yeah I forgot about sheetz. We came here a lot" I replied.

"After every hang out I brought you here. We would eat. Talk and then I'd take you home" he responded. I smiled.
"186" the lady called. We went over there and grabbed our food. We went out to the sitting area outside. He kissed the side of my forehead and we started eating.
We got back to my house. I grabbed two waters and we went upstairs. I turned the tv onto Netflix and put on Hart of Dixie. I laid back on my bed and he did the same thing.
"Didn't we watch this awhile ago?" He asked.
"Yes but it's my favorite show" I answered.
"I only remember that because of the way you reacted to the ending. You started kicking your feet shrieking because you loved the way it ended" He replied.
"Yeah because it was amazing" I responded.
"It's a sappy ending" He said. My mouth dropped.
"Shut up" I replied. He laughed.
"How many times have you watched this show though?" He asked.
"Hmm don't know. A lot" I answered. He shook his head.
"Did you watch anything else?" he replied.
"Yes I did. You're forgetting I'm the binge queen" I responded.
"My queen" He said. I looked at him with a smile.
"And my king" I replied.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

This story has been published, but I'm adding it here for Royal Road readers to enjoy.
