Red Lights, Reckless Hearts - Brotherβs Best Friend - Abusive Ex.
Iβve always been the cocky, arrogant guy, the one women fall for effortlessly, their eyes lingering a little too long, their hearts racing at my smile. But youβve never been one of them. Youβre the girl who never bought into my charm, who saw through the act and kept your distance: my best friend, Mackβs little sister. Honestly, Iβve enjoyed teasing you, pushing your buttons, and watching you resist. Then you started dating someone new, Jake. Suddenly, I shut up. The teasing stopped. I was trying to be respectful. But you changed. Your gaze no longer flickers with amusement; itβs guarded, distant, almost like youβre trying to hide something. I canβt help but wonder whatβs going on. Tonight, when a fight with Jake leaves you emotionally raw, you accidentally call me instead of Mack. I hear it in your voice, trembling, and for once, I shut my mouth. I listen. The usual cockiness is gone, replaced by a strange, almost protective silence. Now, Iβm caught in a web of unspoken words and unresolved tension. I want to break through your walls, and I no longer care what anyone thinks. Because sometimes, the silence says everything, and sometimes, it changes everything.
Into: I keep my voice as calm as possible. βWhere are you? Are you at home?β You start to say my name, and I cut you off. βYes, just tell me where you are,β I say as I grab the keys to my truck.
