A/n: my books is n.o 2 in fluff and smut and I didn't even write any much just like one page ð
Thanks though :)
(Also I promised a fluff/smut scene it's going to be in the end of the book so bare with me it would be weird if y'all we're thrown in smut in a middle of a confusing chapter)
Andy opens the front door to his home, to his surprise his sister was sitting on the couch watching TV. "Amber?"
Amber looks at him, she immediately stands and rushes to hug him. "God, I was so worried about you," she mutters.
Andy hugs her back.
"Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it? About everything?" She asks him looking into his eyes.
Andy sighs, "do I have too?"
Amber shrugs, "no, but it would be nice to know what goes on in that head of yours you know?"
Andy nods in agreement.
They walk to the dinning table and they take their seats, "water?"
"Coffee," he replies.
She stands and make her way to the counter, Andy notices how quiet the house is which is usually never.
"Where is everyone?"
"Mum dropped the triplets over at some birthday party and she went out with her friends," she sets up the coffee machine.
"Oh, right."
When the coffee is done, she hands him his mug and sits beside him with her own mug. Andy takes a sip of his coffee, he could feel his sister's eyes watch his every movement.
"Well, let's talk then," she says.
Andy swallows and look at her. "Um, what do you want to know exactly?"
"Well, for starters about Raphael."
Andy blinks unsure how to say anything or where to begin, he looks at his mug and sighs.
***
"Raphael Torrance," he introduces himself.
"Andrew Olson."
Raphael smiles, "I'm guessing that you're going to be tutoring me for chemistry?"
"Precisely."
Raphael nods, "right so how is this going to work?"
Andy looks over at him, "I could tutor you after school if you'd like?"
Raphael hums, "after school? I have practice after school."
"Right, you're a jock."
Raphael blinks, "what's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing," he replies.
"Nothing as in?" Raphael crosses his arms on his chest.
"As in, you're a jock."
"I don't understand that," He answers a bit offended.
"It just a mental note."
"Again, you are making no sense to me you know..." Raphael mutters a bit irritated.
"We can reschedule at before school then," Andy changes the subject, he could sense the irritation in his voice.
"Before school?"
Andy frowns, "don't tell me you have practice before school too."
"No, it's just that'll mean I'll have to wake up early just to boost my grades."
Andy shrugs, "you're problem not mine."
Raphael groans, "fine. Before school is fine okay?"
"Alright."
Raphael nods, "see you in morning then."
"The morning then."

"He was a kid I used to tutor," Andy explains, "we would meet up in the library after school and I would help him study, he needed to boost up his chemistry grade."
Amber looks at him with a blank expression yet she couldn't help but ask, "what happened until it became to whatever this is."
"The bullying?"
She nods, "I mean I know he had something to do with, I just don't understand anything here."
Andy presses his lips together, "well it started a week after Dad died, he just instantly snapped, he changed."
He pauses to read her face, she was looking at him with pure curiosity. "He has a condition and that's all I can say, and he didn't know how to I guess, just tell me that he liked me."
Amber sighs, "of course he does."
"He hated what he was becoming, he hated that and well he blamed me for it," He explains.
"And he took his rage out on you by beating you up? By making you feel like shit? Just because he had a big massive crush on you?"
"I think it was self-loath," he defends.
"That's no excuse for the fucking pain he caused you!"
Andy stays silent.
Amber sighs, she rubs her face to calm herself down before she says something out of rage.
She speaks again, "look, I know you like this boy, I could sense it the minute you moved in with him. It's just, why him?"
"He's not bad once you get to know him Amber," he mutters.
"Fine. Okay, what about last night when you called me then?"
Andy's body tenses up, "I was drunk."
"You called me crying Andy," she tells him.
"Do I have to tell you?"
She nods, "you need too."
He sighs, "well, while he was busy hating me and himself, he had found some sort of escape from me."
"What?"
She rubs the back of his neck, "another boy."
She blinks at him confused, "are you telling me..."
"...yes, exactly what you're thinking."
Amber sips her coffee which was already cold, "alright and?"
"Last night at the party, he brought the boy there."
"Oh, I understand."
Andy tenses up once more, he could feel his muscles close in.
Silence between them became thick and awkward, both of them with nothing to say they sip they're drinks quietly.
"Can I ask you something?" She breaks the tension.
"Ok, go ahead."
"Do you want things between you and him to work out?"
Andy shrugs, "I don't know anymore."
"You're not giving him a second chance?"
"you mean third," he sadly smiles.
She shrugs, "I don't know how many chances you gave him."
He looks at her, "do you think I should?"
Amber stays silent to think, "he hurt you more than once, he likes you a lot, he is homophobic to himself, he feels unsure about himself, he suffers from a condition and yet you still share a room with him?"
"Um, well yes?"
Amber shakes her head, "well do you think he's worth it?"
Andy doesn't react.
"Because if you're willing to get crushed over and over again for some guy, then you have my respect little brother."
Andy chuckles, "so what are you saying?"
"I don't think I'll ever forgive him for all this but, if it's what you want then go for it I guess."
Andy smiles, "you think so?"
"Exactly, I think." She emphasis.
"Ok," Andy nods.
"Ok."
