"Just great, he's here."
Marcus Baker in my living room.
"Hey, Y/N. Where were you?" Ginny greeted.
"Um, work. Mom didn't tell you?" I replied. "Ginny, I'll be back."
I lead Apollo upstairs.
"Wait, here for me, please? I have to speak with my sister."
Apollo nodded and I went back downstairs.
"Virginia Miller! Kitchen! Now!" I yelled while walking to the kitchen, Ginny walking in at the same time.
"What is he doing here?!" I whispered, but yelled at the same time.
"He's my friend." Ginny replied calmly.
I hate when she acts all nonchalant and shit when we argue.
"A friend you also happened to lose your virginity to after your first date with your current boyfriend. Also, while I was dating him you sent him a picture of you in your bra." I whispered very lowly, so Maxine and Marcus wouldn't hear that.
"Hey, Y/N. Can we talk?" Marcus walked in, interrupting ever so rudely.
"Can't. I have company upstairs." I said while walking out of the kitchen.
"You can't ignore me for long."
"I'll ignore however long I damn want to! As long as I know things you don't want other people to know, I'll do whatever the hell I want, Marcus!" I threatened and went back up to my room.
"Whew, lethal threat there. What's the secret?" Apollo burst out as I walked in my room.
"Can you keep it?" I smirked.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Apollo had already left. I was in the kitchen finishing off my ice cream. Max and the boys came to get ice cream, so I walked out. I heard Ginny and Marcus talking. I hid behind the wall, to eavesdrop.
"I hate her. I really hate her. She does this. She ruins everything. It's always something. Always. And my sister too."
Ginny saw me hiding by the wall and glanced at me then look back at Marcus.
I wiped my face and felt wetness on my face.
Why am I crying?
"Hello!"
Paul? Shit, Joe's here.
I walked out of hiding.
"Paul? Hi!" Ginny and I greeted him, unintentionally being in unison.
"Hi. Uh, sorry to barge in like this. The door was open. I was just hoping to drop some flowers off for Georgia. She seemed a little off today."
"It's been an off-week."
I leaned against the wall and watched them interact.
"I'm sorry to hear that. I'll just leave these at the front door."
"Georgia's upstairs if you wanna go on up." Marcus said.
Ginny and I looked at Marcus.
"Really?" Paul said in a surprised tone.
"Yeah. Go on up. I'm sure she'd love to see you." She added.
"Okay! Um..."
"Mm-hmm." Ginny smirked.
"That way? Thanks." Paul walked away.
I waited till Paul was completely out of sight to say something.
"Ginny, why do you have to be such a bitch?" I sighed, "and I expected better from you Marcus."
Both Ginny and Marcus' faces dropped.
"Come on-"
"I wish you'd stop and think about who's actually been here for you. Mom has done any and everything for us. She's the parent that actually sticks around, unlike our so-called "dad". He may send you books and text or call you every night, but he's not actually here. Think about it." I say nonchalantly and walked back to my room.
