"Hello.... Earth to Joe... Hey..." "Huh" John must have spaced out as Lisa brought him back to reality."Ah, what, um..." "Silly, what are you doing spacing out at lunch." That's right we were eating lunch just me and Lisa. Eric had taken off sick. "Sorry. I was just thinking." That was true. He was wondering how Joey was going to handle what he knew would come for him. "I see. What is it?" My big brother is in my body and going through some tough stuff soon. But I couldn't tell her that. "Oh... stuff." "Stuff..." "Yeah.... stuff" "Stuff...." "Okay. I'm just worried about something. But its nothing really big. It should be fine." Then Lisa asked the unthinkable for John. "Is it about your little brother?" What? Does she mean me? I don't get it. "What do you mean?" "Oh don't play coy. You've mentioned him in passing a few times. You were worried about his school life." Really? Wait. That Joe? Worried about me. Sure he knew he had trouble hiding his bully problems from his family, but he thought Joe could barely give a shit. Excuse the language. "Ah, ah... So you noticed?" I just played along for now. "Yeah. I know you like to play the jock to the T, but you have that soft spot. It's why I fell in love with you." Lisa went for a kiss. Once again John felt the stirring in his pants. "Yeah.... I guess your right. "Guess?!"Lisa pouted in a playful way. "I mean you are right sweetie." I went for the kiss this time. Again, a stirring in my pants. But really Joey was actually worried about me? "Anyway..." Lisa started to say. "If you need any help, I'm always on call. Even on track." "Ye... Yeah." Lisa really was a good girl. She reminded John of someone else,but he could quite remember who.
