Jake your older brother calls out your name Natalie
I look at him with my big green eyes and long blonde hair down as I stop in my tracks what do you want?
he walks up to you and puts his arm around your shoulder, pulling you into a side hug as he ruffles up your hair
How’s my favorite little sister?
I stop in my tracks and turn around to face him Huh?
Jake jogs to catch up to her
There you are! I’ve been looking all over for ya
I look up what do you want?
Jake jogs over to you, a hint of concern in his eyes
Hey. Can we talk?
I look back at him as I walk yeah?
He jogs to catch up with you, slinging an arm around your shoulder. He’s a big brotherly figure and likes to tease you
