LEXIE SAT AT THE SAME TABLE FROM ALMOST FOUR YEARS AGO, picking at her breakfast, she wasn't hungry at all, she felt sick to her stomach.

because like that, her and miles were awkward again.

he didn't mean shit.

miles sat across from her, writing something down on a sheet of paper, she glanced her eyes up at him before looking down immediately, she didn't want to look at him anymore.

last night was... well, almost perfect.

key word: almost

"what are you doing?" flora looked to the side, leaning over her chair and peering at what her brother was writing on a sheet of paper, he didn't look up as he responded to her,

"work" he said, sounding really focused.

"you're home with your family and you're still working?" flora said as she sat back in her chair, eating her food once again,

"sounds about right" he said, still not looking up.

lexie grabbed her plate as she stood up, bringing it to the sink as an indication that she was done eating, kate dropped her fork as she looked up at her sister while she walked away.

"lex you didn't even take a bite of your food" kate said as she watched her place it on the counter, lexie shrugged before speaking,

"not hungry" she blankly said.

she felt sick to her stomach.

lexie turned around and walked away, going upstairs, flora and kate looked at each other with confusion before they both shot a look at miles, flora kicked him under the table, causing him to drop his pen as he looked at her,

"ow! what?" he said as he looked at her with a look of near offense that she kicked him,

"you asshole! what did you do to her?!" flora whisper shouted at her brother, causing kate to give her a look of anger that she swore, but she ignored her. miles looked at flora with a look of shock that she would accuse him of such a thing,

"i didn't do anything to her!" he whisper shouted back to flora, both her and kate looked at each other before giving him a knowing look, he was lying off of his ass.

"why else would she feel sick?" kate rhetorically asked as she rested her head against her hand, floras eyes widened before she turned to face her brother with a sick, almost ghost white color on her face.

"is she pregnant?" flora breathlessly asked,

miles spit his food back on his plate at his sisters question as he slammed his hand on the table, it was really really awkward now.

"no! i-i mean... i hope not!" he said with wide eyes as he stared at both flora and kate, not denying the possibility of it, both flora and kate looked at each other with looks of disgust.

they didn't want to think about how their siblings were doing it, it was weird.

"miles, when are you taking me back to new york with you?" flora changed the subject as she rested her head on her hand, picking at her food. he always said he would take her it's just been hard.

miles glanced up from his paper before looking over to her,

"i'll take you with me for your birthday" he said, causing her to sigh as she shook her head,

"that's like... nine months away!" she said impatiently said, her birthday had recently passed, it was right around the time of miles' birthday, when they were both kids their parents would celebrate them together.
