Hello, and welcome to my new story! I hope you enjoy it!!

Hello, and welcome to my new story! I hope you enjoy it!! I awoke to the sound of Dominic playing music. I got dressed and hurried over to the living room where the grand piano was placed. Dom is a very talented musician but I rarely ever hear him play anymore. I stood behind him for a while, daring not to breath, afraid that he would hear me and suddenly stop playing. It worked at first but after a few moments he turned and saw me standing there staring at him. Before he could utter a word I simply smiled and said, "Dom, That was REALLY good"
He didnt say anything so I continued.
"I haven't seen you at that piano in years, what made you decide to start again?"
"I don't know, I guess I just miss it, is all."
Jen started thinking back to her childhood. In her younger years ALL her brother did was play the piano. It was like it was his best friend. At times she even got jelous that he spent more time there then with her. Then Jen snapped back to reality. "Anyways, I'm going shopping."
"What else is new?" smirked Dom. "But seriously, be--"
"I know, i know, careful"
He was always trying to protect me. I try to make him understand that I'm old enough to take care of myself, but I guess thats what big brothers are for.
I headed off to the grocery store first to pick up some turkey and a few vegtables for dinner.
Then I went to the new cosmetics shop in town. It was really beautiful. They had everything from lipstick to perfume to cologne.
After my full day of shopping I decided to relax at the local coffee shop. It's a very small place, very welcoming and cozy. I grabbed a cup of decafe and sat down in my usual seat. Then, out of the blue, a total stranger walked up to me and asked if he could sit down. Not wanting to be rude I quickly said yes. Normally I wouldn't be so nice to someone I didn't know but he looked vaguly familair. The first thing I asked him was his name and he said that it's Charlie. As soon as I heard that, I knew that I knew him from somewhere, I just wasn't sure where yet. So I decided the best way to figure it out was simply just to ask him.
"Charlie....you seem so familair. Have we met before?"
Quickly, without even thinking, he said no.
"Are you sure? I mean, you look so--"
"I said I don't know you, alright?"
"Alright..."
For a few moments after it seemed pretty tense and akward but in a short time I forgot all about it, and we were chatting away like we were old highschool buddies.
Charlie told me about how he went to college to become a lawyer, stayed in Harvard for three years and then dropped out to persue other intrests. He said that he would rather be a singer or a musician than have a steady job as a lawyer. I didn't ask many questions, I mostly just listened. I glanced at the clock and realized that I had been talking to Charlie for over three hours. "Dom must be getting worried" I thought.
I told Charlie that I had to go and that I would really like to see him again. So we exchanged phone numbers and I was on my way.
When I arrived home dinner was already cooked and Dom was setting the table as I walked in.
"I'm soooo sorry. I lost track of time. I'm sorry--"
"Jen, it's fine. Just call me next time so I know where you are, okay?"
"Okay"
As we sat down to eat he asked me what I was doing while I was out. I told him that I met a guy that I really liked and he was happy for me. I also told him that he looked strangely familair.
"So whats this guys name?" he asked.
"Charlie"
Dominics face turned red and his smile quickly turned into a frown. "Did this Charlie have blond hair and green eyes?'
"Yeah, how did you kno--"
"Did he look about 5'8"
"Yeah, but--"
"Does he play the guitar?"
"Umm, well, he said he's a musician."
"Jen, he's Charles, from when we were kids, he's the one who stole my girl, he's the one who stole Penny! He's the one who ruined my......"
Dom continued to talk but I didn't hear another word that he said. I just began to think, and to remember. I didn't know how I could forget. Charles and Dom were always inceperable, they went fishing, played in a band together, and were even on the same soccer team. They were best friends for years. They hung out every single day.......... Then I began to wonder about when I was at the coffee shop. Charlie said that he didn't know me. I wondered if he didn't remember or if he was trying to hide it. But why would he lie? He wouldn't. I also wondered if I should ever call him. He did get into a huge fight with my brother but that was so long ago. Maybe I should call.... A few days later I made my decision final. So I picked up the phone and began to dial right as my brother walked in. "Who are you calling, Jen?" he asked casually.
I never lied to him, so I told him flat out and figured he would understand, but I was wrong.
"Jen! Do you know what this guy did to me? Do you know how bad he hurt me? I don't want him to do the same to you."
I began to get frustrated, "Yeah, Dom, I know. He stole your girlfriend and you got mad! Get over it already! Your always trying to protect me, well here's some news for you, i can protect myself!"
With that I was out the door. I went into my room to listen to some music, it always cheers me up. The songs began to play but I couldn't concentrate on them. All I could think about was how I just yelled at my brother for no reason at all. I've never done that before and I felt terrible. I didn't want Dom to be upset, but I still really wanted to see Charlie. Since music wasn't helping I thought I'd sit down and watch some television. I noticed there was a movie in the dvd player, not knowing what it was, I hit play. It turns out it was a video of us when we were in the city together a few months ago. I watched the whole video, then re-watched it. It was then that I decided that Dom was much more important to me then Charlie was, and I wouldn't dare ruin our realationship. After a while I was on my way way to Dom's room to apoligize. But when I passed the phone in the hall it began to ring. I looked at the caller i.d. and it said "restricted". Thinking nothing of it, I answered the phone.
It was Charlie, "Hey, you wanna hang out sometime?"
And what I said next changed my life forever.........

Is Family More Important?

    It's a good story setting up for more. The ending was a bit dramatic but, no doubt good. I hope you do elaborate more with the whole 'stole my girlfriend' issue. I am looking forward to the next one.

    You did such a great job. The writing was clear and very emotional, you could feel that she cares for her brother. It was very good to say that Charlie stole Dom's girlfriend and that that's the reason Dom's upset, it makes us relate to him but I agree with one comment here, you should have elaborated thiss more, but I'm sure you will do it in the next part or so, so don't watch it as criticism. \:\) Anyways, it was fun reading and I can't wait for the next part.

    Nice ending, I didn't see that coming since I thought she had decided that she liked Dominic. I liked your flashbacks and thought you handled them well. Moving into a flashback with dialogue can be difficult sometimes, but you did it well.
