The love that Stayed

Chapter 5

I was going into the store with my brother since i needed to get my groceries while he needed his condoms of the week, his words not mine, but then my eyes laid on the person i bumped into this morning, but once i looked at him, he looked away. I don’t know what is it about this guy that he seems so familiar yet so unfamiliar. I don’t know why but i’m secretly hoping it is him. My guy, the one that i’ve loved since second grade, i hope he’s back.

I was at my apartment when i saw a tall lean figure walk into my apartment building. It wasn’t until the doorbell rang that i noticed it was my older brother Ryan. “Ryan!” i screamed happily while he twirled me in the air. “Hows my favorite little sister?” he asked me “i’m your only sister, and i’m doing ok, i guess.” i answered honestly. “Any new guy or is it still the same dickhead of Jaylin?” he asked me. “It’s still Jaylin” i answered. “Honestly sis, you need a better guy than that jerk, he does nothing other than work at the gas station and play video games all day after.” he said annoyed. My brother’s never did like my boyfriend Jaylin. We’ve been dating since the first year of college. Jaylin and I were constantly in an on and off relationship and we’re trying to fix that but my brother’s don’t want to understand that. “ i might as well choose your next boyfriend for you” he told me in a matter of factly voice and that just made me burst at him “who do you think you are to actually think that you can come and tell me that the next guy i date is going to be chosen by you, when you barely even had time to even visit mom when she was dying?!” i asked through tears, thats when asher came in looking confused. “What’s with her?” he asked ryan, ryan of course like always apologized immediately “Ellie, i’m sorry sis, i was just playing, i wasn’t going to choose anyone for you, i just want the right guy for you and i really don’t like that Jaylin guy for you” he told me. And that’s how I sobered up from my crying fit. That is of course until my best friend Raylee sent me a picture of Jaylin kissing another girl at the mall that got me crying again and thats how i got my phone snatched from both my brother’s to see what got me so pale. “I knew that jackass wasn’t any good for you!” yelled my older brother Ryan. it’s been two hours since Ryan and Asher went to find Jaylin and i was starting to get worried. What if they got hurt? What if they got arrested? I asked myself. I just hoped they were ok.
