number?”
    Liam got to his feet and took the phone from
Jared. He read the message and immediately dug his own phone out of
his pocket. He dialed a number and then left the room for a few
minutes. When he came back, he handed me my phone. “His number is
blocked from your phone now. He won’t be able to contact you
again.”
    I shook my head as I took it from him. “He’ll
find another way, I’m sure. But at least this will deter him for a
while.”
    Liam sat on the arm of the couch beside me. “Do
you want to call the cops and file a restraining order on him?”
    I sighed and leaned back. “No, I just want to
pretend he doesn’t exist. Hopefully he’ll just give up eventually.
If he doesn’t, then we’ll look into a restraining order.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “Yeah. He’s not threatening me or anything, so
I’m not too worried about it right now.” I got to my feet and
hugged both of them quickly. “I’m going to bed. Good night.”
    They both murmured their goodnights and I went
into my room and got into bed. Once I was settled, I looked at my
phone and noticed that Liam had deleted the message already. I
plugged my phone in and turned on my side, snuggling down under the
blankets. I forced the text message from my mind and drifted off
into a thankfully dreamless sleep.
     
    School the next day was the same as it had been
for the rest of the week, aside from the fact that Rachel invited
me to a party the next day. I declined, since I didn’t go to
parties anymore, but told her I’d be happy to do something on
Sunday if she was interested. We agreed to go shopping and she gave
me her number and address so I could pick her up.
    That evening Jared took me to the movies. We
pulled into the parking lot and climbed out of his truck. He slung
his arm over my shoulders casually as we headed inside to get our
tickets. We were standing in line when I heard someone calling my
name. I turned my head and saw David and Rachel moving in our
direction. “Oh, there are some of my friends from school,” I told
Jared.
    He followed my gaze and smiled. “So I get to
meet some of your friends then?”
    “Apparently.” Once they had reached us, I smiled
warmly at them. “Hey guys, I didn’t know you’d be here
tonight.”
    Rachel clutched David’s hand and beamed at me.
“It was a last minute decision.” Her eyes shifted to Jared, who
still had an arm over my shoulders. “Hi, I’m Rachel and this is
David.”
    “This is Jared,” I told them.
    “It’s nice to meet you,” Jared said
politely.
    Rachel had an odd gleam in her eyes as she
looked between us. “Are you two a couple?”
    I snorted and shook my head. “Not even close.
He’s my brother.”
    She lifted an eyebrow and looked at Jared again.
“Your brother?”
    “Well, we’re not actually related but we grew up
together. I’ve literally known him forever.” I didn’t tell them
that Jared was my actual brothers best friend, because that would
just lead to a lot more questions that I didn’t want to answer.
“I’ve always considered him my big brother.”
    “So does that mean you’re single?” she asked
curiously.
    I fluttered my eyelashes at her. “Why Rachel,
are you trying to ask me out on a date?”
    All three of them laughed and Rachel shook her
head. “I don’t think David would like sharing me,” she replied in a
fake sad tone.
    David looked at her incredulously. “Are you
kidding? Girl on girl action is hot!”
    Rachel and I both groaned and rolled our eyes.
“Why are men such pigs?” I asked forlornly.
    “Hey, I didn’t say anything,” Jared
protested.
    “But you were probably thinking it,” I
replied.
    He shrugged his shoulders. “No comment.”
    We had reached the ticket counter by now so he
paid for our tickets. Rachel and David decided to go to the same
movie as us and we ended up sitting together. I had a great time
and on the way home Jared told me he’d really liked them. I could
tell he was happy that I had made
