You're So High Maintenance | Jaele (Completed)

2. What's Yours To Keep, You Don't Really Share

⬆️Khalifa and Reminisce

Happy reading- I wanted to do a double update today but things happened and now I couldn't.

Unfortunately for Kaiden, he wasn't the only one in a broken family.

As he was making his way over to Josiah's house, in the house just across the street where Khalifa and Reminisce had lived - the two of them were sort of in a fight.

Khalifa and Reminisce were twins, whose parents were on holiday so they had called their grandmother Victoria to watch over them.

They would have gone to her house but it was easier for her to come here. Besides, their neighbourhood was safer anyway.

Reminisce was currently mad at Khalifa because he had stolen some money she had gotten from this successful art show she had hosted yesterday.

Instead of him asking her for money, he had just decided to spend it on some new headphones earlier on today. She had found out and she wasn't happy about it at all.

"Reminisce, I'm sorry - I didn't mean to steal your money!"

"Oh, so you're saying 2K euros just magically left the jar where I keep my money?" She had shouted at him, he was on one end of the table and she was on the other end.

She had raised over 200K euros and even if Khalifa didn't steal anything.

He still stole something.

"If I had asked you, you wouldn't have let me take it."

"Yeah but that doesn't mean that it's right for you to steal it! Do you know how hard it was for me to raise that money?"

This had only been going on for five minutes, and now Reminisce was chasing Khalifa down the house as if they were eight and not eighteen instead.

Their grandmother Victoria was talking to one of her friends on her phone as she was knitting something, but she had to tell them that she would have called her back after all of the racket they were making.

She didn't normally shout although Khalifa and Reminisce was really doing her head in with everything.

"Hey hey hey!" She had shut them up immediately, with the twins fighting over the headphones. "What is going on with you two?"

They had started talking above each other like little children with Victoria rolling her eyes and facepalming herself.

She had then told them to be quiet, with her going to Reminisce first, asking her what had happened.

"Yeah sure. Why would you ask Reminisce what happened?" Khalifa frowned, folding his arms. "So she can reminisce about everything bad she did?"

"Because I know she's not at fault here," Victoria had replied, with Khalifa groaning even though she was right.

He had just hated taking responsibility like that. Which was a seriously huge flaw he needed to work on.

"Anyway, what happened?"

Victoria didn't really have any children of her own even though she was seventy. She only had the twin's mother but that was it.

She had grandchildren though, and lots of them. Khalifa and Reminisce were the only siblings in their house but they had a lot of cousins.

Reminisce had given a full on statement from what had happened from her perspective.
