The moment my feet touched the path of my home's garden , I immediately felt the burden of these couples weeks get off my back .

I took a deep breath and started walking to the front door of my house, Jacob being behind me .

We didn't talk that much in the way here , but I feel that we're getting more civilized by the hour.

I press the grey button with my nickname on it and I start bouncing my leg impatiently while biting my lower lip , the smile on my face hurting the tissue of my cheek in result of how long I've being doing it.

As I wait a couple more minutes I ring again .

" What's making them so long " i say turning to face Jacob who is standing right behind me

" I don't know " he shrugs, hitting the door with his closed fist two times

Like I didn't try that .

" Cmon " i murmur

Suddenly the door yanks open revealing the tall frame of my brother , rubbing his left eye clearly seeming like he's just have woken up.

When his eyes fall on me he snaps his eyes open and quickly brings me into his hug , squeezing me to death .

" Mike " I say hitting his forearm " I can't breath idiot " i start laughing at his way of showing how much he missed me

" No no it is never enough " he says chuckling

" Now I'm feeling kinda left out " I hear Jacob's voice  more closely now

And with one movement I feel my back covered by a body . Jacob's body .

" You're coming in the hug too " Mike says

I snap my eyes open as I feel the tight muscles of his chest on my back and his breathing fanning on the right side of my neck .

His hands go straight to my waist to balance himself , and I immediately feel my stomach drop.

I quickly get myself out of there braking the hug and fixing my hair.

" Well that was way out of your league, you must have missed me so much " i throw Mike a grin

" Yeah I've missed you little one " he says hooking his arm on my shoulders , bringing me inside the house

I hear the door behind me close and I immediately travel my eyes at the house , it being same as I remember it .

Warmth and happiness spread through my body because of the familiar space , but it immediately turns cold when I don't see my parents.

" Where is mum and dad ?" I furrow my brows " Dad is always awake at such time "

Mike takes a moment of silence.

" Um business meeting, they had to leave early yesterday " he shrugs letting me go

" But they knew I was coming " i state

" They said they're sorry but they couldn't cancel it " he says bringing out the juice box out of the fridge

" Well we will have fun without them then " I turn my eyes to Jacob, him now sitting on our counter " be sure about that " he says nodding his head at me

" You're staying here tonight bro ?" Mike asks him

" Yeah I guess I kinda don't wanna go home right now "

" Why ?" the word slips out of my mouth before I could even think of it .

Both of their head turn on me , that making me tense .
