Empty words

I sat on the stool up at the bar,frowning.
I knew something was going on I just didn't know what and it pissed me off.

"Hey," Dallas winston sat next to me.

I just nodded in acknowledgement.

"Saw your brother yesterday,"

"Yeah," I answered thinking nothing of it," He was staying over at a friends last night,"

"Huh, didn't know they were close,"

At that, I frowned." Who?" I asked genuinely confused.

"Carl Jones"

My mind went blank and I turned to face Dally.

"What the hell was he doing with Carl?" I was flabbergasted.

He just shrugged in return," Don't ask me man I thought they were banging,"

I groaned at that mental image,"Shut the fuck up winston!" I yelled half heartedly

He just gave me one of his infamous smirks in return,"see ya around Shepard,"

I ignored him,instead turning back to my drink. why the hell would curly spend the night with Carl,since when were they that close?

And better yet, why wouldn't he tell me?

And speak of the devil, Carl walked in a second later, looking hungover and I gestured for him to come over.

I studied his face. He looked nervous and determined at the same time which I guess I kinda do have that effect on people.

As soon as he was seated I decided to get right to the point,"Why were you with my brother
Last night?"

He looked flustered," You know us,we've always been buddy's ,"

I raised my brow at him and shook my head,"No you haven't,"

He said nothing for a while and I was starting to get inpatient.

"Well?" I demanded.

"It's no big deal man," he finally got out," he just wanted to hang and I had nothing better to do," he finished off, a nervous smile on his face.

"He wanted to hang out with someone four years older then him?" I asked skeptically.

"Well you know what they say," he nervously laughed and I've never wanted to punch someone more.

"No i don't," I stood up unimpressed and walked out slamming money down on the bar on my way out.

I decided to make my way back home and just ask my brother about this.
