Fresh start

N/A POV

You slowly wake up to hear the sound of your annoying twin brother attempting to cook in the kitchen. You look around your empty room and the many boxes sprawled across the floor.

Man I need to clean my room...

You think to yourself before hearing you name being yelled from a distance.

"Y/N!!! BREAKFAST IS READY"

You crawl out of your bed and quickly grab a sweater from your suitcase, not looking at the design on the front. You make your way to the kitchen while your feet drag behind you.

"Morning" you sluggishly mumble as you rub your eyes
"Morning sleepyhead. Nice Mr Beast hoodie. You must have been drained last night because you fell asleep in the car and I had to carry your fat ass into the house"
"Shut up Chandler"
"Hey... watch your tone young lady"

You left out a laugh as your brother jokingly mocks your dad.

"Anywho... I made breakfast"

You look down at your plate then slowly look back up at your brother's face.
"You...call this breakfast? Chandler...I've seen better food at...literally ANYWHERE"

Chandler looks at you with a jokingly offended face and grabs the plate back from your grasp.

"FINE. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT MY HARD WORK THEN GO FIND YOUR OWN FOOD YOU UNGRATEFUL CHILD"
"Ooo nice burn old man"

You stand up from the table and slowly walk back towards your room. As you do, you hear Chandler yelling in the background, the sound of his voice getting quieter and quieter the closer you get to your room.

You stare into the mirror in the washroom, about to get ready for the day when you see your necklace. The one you had been wearing for the past 4 years. You could've sworn you had taken it off and thrown it out but nope. It was right there. In a sudden surge of frustration, you rip off the necklace and drop to the floor in tears. You hear a knock on the door and a gentle voice.

"Y/n? Are you okay? What happened?"
"CHANDLER GO AWAY!"

You yell back but he doesn't listen. He opens the door and sees you sobbing on the bathroom floor. He runs up to you and sits down next to you and embraces you in a tight hug. In between the tears you slowly mumble.

"How could he do this to me. How do I move on Chandler?"
"Y/n... its not gonna be easy but you will soon enough and I'll be right by your side. I got your back sis. Also he was an idiot for doing that to you and it's his loss because my sister is the most awesome person in the world and anyone that can't see that can go fall in a ditch...okay maybe something less harsh but you get my point"

You let out a soft laugh and hug your brother tight.

"Thank you for letting me move in with you."
"Of course. Okay now, get up, wipe off those tears that shouldn't be wasted on that shitbag and get ready! I'm taking you to work with me"
"Okay"

You do what Chandler told you and you get ready. You put on some jeans, a white hoodie, a beige plaid jacket and put on your black doc martens. As you get ready to leave your room, you take one last look in the mirror to make sure your makeup and your hair looks good and the new necklace you put on looked nice with your outfit. You grab your purse and head out to see Chandler waiting for you in the car.

CHANDLER'S POV

My sister has been through a lot the past couple weeks. I didn't realize how much it was effecting her and then seeing her on the bathroom floor just broke my heart. I never want to see my sister hurting, as much as like to annoy her. She's my twin sister and my best friend. I just hope this move helps her get past what happened and hopefully coming to work with me cheers her up.
