Why the hell don't my friends (nd other people) believe me when I say my

[Jason, Jase, Jesse]

best friend's ex is like a sister to ..........to me?!

They reason, "You don't act like a protective big brother to your best friend's ex girlfriend! You obviously like the girl!" Or "Baby sister? Kim? Yeah right! Get outta here, Jase!" Or somewhere along the lines of "I doubt it!"

What's with my friends, all ganging up on me! They think I have the hots for her! First, let me make this clear (and guys, you've read her letter to Tommy): She has a NEW boyfriend, that's why she wrote a Dear John! She found SOMEONE ELSE! Number two, I already have a girlfriend! Her best friend IS my girlfriend!

When they said "You don't act like a protective big brother to your best friend's exgirlfriend," they said it like it was an effin' CARDINAL RULE!!!!!

I defend her and side with her because she looks up to me as her big brother, and she's my "baby sister!" When she hurts so bad, I hurt right along with her! Isn't that what a brother is supposed to do?!
So what if she's not my real sister? She may not be my sister by blood, but she is my sister through heart!

Haven't you ever experienced being close to someone without falling in love with her?!

Haven't you ever experienced loving someone as your sister, and not as a better half?!

Haven't you ever experienced feeling genuine affection for someone, like you would a sister?! I don't mean calling her sister just for the sake of covering up, and denying your true feelings for her! I'm talking about genuine brotherly feelings toward the other person!
