Selfish Machines

What do you do when you like two people? And they just so happen to be brothers. Do you have to choose? Why does this have to be so complicated? Vic is the sweetest guy ever and really knows how to treat a girl, but Mike he's a bad boy, who isn't afraid of anything (other than commitment).

Last night Mike said he loved me... He fucking loved me! Does he even know what love is? Is he even capable of love? This is a big step for him, he isn't exactly the romantic type. I would expect this from Vic but not from Mike. It's funny because there the exact opposite, Vic is this short guy, who's nice, not violent, mature and has no tattoos, but Mike he looks like he could be Vic's older brother he's tall, has a bunch of tattoos, and he's not exactly the type of guy you wanna mess with.

I can play it safe and go out with Vic or I can fix Mike and save him from his player ways.

The look in Vic's eyes when we walked into the door broke my heart. He looked like he hadn't slept for days and his eyes were filled with concern.

"Where have you been?! I was worried sick I've been looking all over town why haven't you answered any of my texts?!" Vic asked me his voice spilling with worry.

"Calm down we went to Radkes party last night" Mike said to Vic and Vic shot him a glare, if looks could kill Mike would have dropped dead right then and there.

"And you didn't think to call?" Vic said

"Sorry my phone died" I shrugged and walked off. I really didn't want to put up with Vic today not after what he said last night. Why would he care where I was? He's the one who walked out on me!

I walked upstairs and plopped down on my bed. I need to talk to Mike about last night and find out if we did the dirty or if I passed out or what happened.

"Spencer!" Someone called from downstairs

"Yeah?!" I called back but didn't hear a reply. I yelled back but still no reply. I huffed them ran down the stairs, Mike and Vic were sitting in the living room scrolling through netflix.

"What?" I asked walking over to them.

"Were watching movies come watch with us" Mike said pretending like nothing even happened and all three of us were the best of friends. How can they just sit there and pretend everything is okay? I just wanted to move past this and if pretending is what I needed to do than that's what I will do.

"Fine" I said walking around the couch sitting right in between the two boys.

After about twenty minutes of arguing over what to watch we decided on spy kids. They don't make good movies like this anymore that's for sure. The movie went on and we stayed quiet except for funny parts and we were laughing our asses off.

"So me and Vic talked" Mike blurted out of no where. Fuck fuck fuck what do I do? What do I say? What did they talk about? Do I play it cool? Yeah I should probably play it cool

"And?" I asked cool and calmly

"We both like you... Well you know how we both feel about you and were not gonna let this destroy us, were brothers and that's never gonna change" Mike said and Vic continued what he was saying for him "so you need to pick" They both looked at each other nodded then turned there attention to me.

"You can't string us both along, so we need you to choose between us. We will respect your decision no matter what it is and we promise who ever you don't pick won't be mad... We just need to know." Vic said his eyes burning hole into me. I was scared of this, having to choose between my bestfriend and my bad boy. This isn't fair to pin on me, I didn't know who to pick. This isn't like choosing what ice cream flavour you want no this was much bigger than that.

What am I going to do?
