The Rose

My brother from another mother

Sarah

We returned from the studio after 4 hours of rehearsing. It was going to be awesome. I turned to my luggage to find tonights outfit. I was going for my skinny jeans ripped at the knees, my black crop top to show off my fabulous abs and my rose tattoo. I found my lumberjack shirt, to wrap around my hips. I was hot.

    - I'm taking a shower Lizzie

Lizzie smiled at me looking up from her phone. I can only imaging that it's David on the other end. I loved to see her this happy, it's been a long time. I could feel myself relax under the warm water. At the same time I was affraid of how I was going to react when I would finally see him. And how is he going to react? Does he even remember me? I shoke my head and decided to go out from the shower, before I wire myself up. I walk into our room where Lizzie is smiling. A smile I don't think I've ever seen on her face.

    - What's going on Lizzie?

    - David's stopping by in a few minutes

She looked like a teenager whose crush just talked to her for the first time. I smiled at the thought of my silly best friend.

    - I better get a move on then

I grinned and began to put my clothes on, when I suddenly realised something

    - He's coming alone, right?

    - Yes Sarah

Just as she answered me there was a knock on the door. I went into hiding and Lizzie opened the door.

    - Chewie come out, it's just me

I let go of the breath I didn't know I was holding

    - I told you a hundred times, don't call me that!

    - I don't care Chewie! I haven't seen my sister from another mister in years and you still haven't given me a propper hug

He said with a pout. I laughed at him and shoke my head. I walked over to him with open arms. He welcomed my embrace. I couldn't help but start crying. I wasn't the only one. I could feel tears fall on my cheek.

    - I missed you so much Dave

    - I missed you too Chewie

We just stood there, just holding eachother. After a few minutes I released my grip on him and looked up at him. He dried my tears from my cheeks. Suddenly we heard LIzzie

    - So, why do you call her Chewie?

    - After Chewbacca of course

Lizzie looked at us a little dumbfounded.

    - Dave! Lizzie has never seen Star Wars.

    - Well, now I know what movie we're gonna see when we have a chance

He chuckled looking at Lizzie with nothing then love; in it's  purest form. I was happy for them.

    - Hey Dave

He looked at me

    - If you ever hurt Lizzie, I will go all Chewie on your ass!

    - I could never hurt this beauty in front of me! It would crush me if anything happend to her.

He looked straight into her eyes as he said that. I just knew that they were meant to be together. 

    - Aaaaaaand I just threw up in my mouth; just a little bit

Lizzie glared at me. I couldn't stop laughing; neither could Dave

    - So Chewie... I'm an uncle?

I lokked at David with mixed emotions.

    - How did you know?

    - Lizzie has done nothing but brag about her best friend and her son for a year. Who knew it was you?

Lizzie looked at me

    - How was I to know that you all had a history?

    - It's okay Lizzie. But yea David, I have a son. He's 6 years old. He just started in first grade.

    - What's his name?

I was a little reluctant to tell him and before I had a chance to say it, there was a knock on the door and his voice came through.

    - Dave! Open up!

I looked at David and Lizzie with horror and tears in my eyes. No! not now I wasn't ready. In my panic I ran into the bathroom and closed the door
