Ask of the chap:

Unknown: What is your opinion about same gender relationships?

Aze: It's as normal as someone saying "I ate breakfast this morning."

"And that's what happened." I ended. She smiled.

"So glad my baby sister finally gets what she deserves." She said, hugging me.

Cas buried her head in my shoulder, and I frowned. What I deserve? What do I deserve? What does she mean?

"Ye-yeah. Okay, well later Cas." I told her, wriggling out of her grasp. I heard her sigh, and I slid off her bed, running to my room.

I closed my door quickly, belly-flopping onto my bed, and rolling over, looking at the ceiling.

What does she mean, what I deserve?

It was a simple question, yet, I found it bothering me, greatly.

Andrae: Coming over dude ★~(◡﹏◕✿)

What the hell? What is that emoji?! Is that even an emoji?

I looked at the time.

8:24

Its too early for this. I pulled the covers back over my head, and felt myself drift into a deep sleep.

"D.J! Man! Wake up!" I forced my eyes open, and saw Andrae, grinning. I stuck my tongue out at him.

I sat up, "Freaking asshole, what do you want?"

He jumped onto the bed, laying down beside me. "Yesterday was awesome."

I bit my lip, smiling to myself. "Oh." I pulled out my phone, and checked the time.

9:02

"What took you so long?"

He looked at me, "What?"

"You texted me at 8, and you just got here. It's 9."

He sat up, "I-I let you sleep in."

"Oh." I knew there was something wrong, just the way he said it, there was.. hesitation.

I decided not to pry.

Andrae's POV

"I-I let you sleep in." I lied. Sam's gone silent. When Andrea died, he didn't eat for weeks, and stayed locked up in his room. Lately, its been getting worse, and worse.

He quit his part time job, quit going to his therapy sessions, and..he doesn't talk anymore. With his parents heart broken, his older brother even moved back in to help. Nothing helps, apparently.

Andrea's death.. it affected everybody, I mean, she was a great person. She was kind, and caring. She was smart, and was an outgoing person.

Who wouldn't miss her?

I averted my attention to his dresser, with a bracelet on it. I got off the bed, walking to his dresser. I picked it up, examining it.

Sierra wore the same exact bracelet yesterday. The blue threads, with a silver arrow on the front. Is this his sister's bracelet or something? Did they just happen to get the same thing?

I turned around, looking at D.J.

"What is this doing in your room?" I asked.

He visibly paled. Does Sierra know D.J? Is there something going on between them?

"Its my sister's. The thread broke, so she asked me to replace it." He told me, standing up, rubbing his eyes.

I knew it was a lie. But what is he trying to cover up?

**

I knocked on the door, and rubbed my hands together, shoving them into my pocket afterwards.

The door opened, and Mrs. Cando smiled sadly at me. "Hey Andrae. How are you?"

I awkwardly smiled back, "I-I'm good, you?"

"Fine." She simply said.

She pulled me inside, and I ran up the stairs. I saw Samuel in his room, his door open. He was sprawled across the bed, looking at the ceiling.

I knocked on his open door, and he smiled a bit. He sat up, waving at me.

"Hey man." I greeted, sitting beside him. We did our handshake, and we fell against the bed in sync. I laughed, and he pulled out his phone.

He just downloaded this app, where you type something in, and a machine says it for you.

"Whats so funny?" The robotic voice asked.

"Nothing, just..I'm being weird." I told him.

"Whats new?" He typed.

I laughed again, "So, Alex's birthday is coming up next month. We're throwing a party. Do you.. do you wanna come and celebrate?"

It was silent, and I thought he fell asleep or something.

"I'm not sure."

I sighed. "Okay, think about it?"

"Yes, I will." His mono-toned robot spoke.

We talked about random things, enjoying each others presence. I left around 8, walking home, thinking about how hard it must be for Samuel.

I mean, she was my sister, my best friend, but she was Sam's lover.

They were meant to spend the rest of their lives together. Grow old together. Now its just him. By himself, going through hell, by himself.

***

"So, what did Samuel say?" My mom asked casually, zipping up Alex's jacket. She was muttering something to herself, while everybody else was getting ready to go to the grocery store.

I put on my sneakers, "He said-Actually his robot, said 'I'll think about it'." My dad came in from the kitchen, his usual Façade on.

Whenever we talked about Sam, Andrea, teen pregnancies, or suicides, he would go silent, and wear his poker face.

"Robot?" Alex asked curiously.

My dad walked out to the porch, not able to take anymore. He slammed the door behind him, and I sighed, face-palming myself.

My mom said something to Alex, probably feeding her more lies.

Alex thinks that Samuel, is like her uncle or some bullshit like that. She doesn't know about Andrea, and I honestly don't know when we would tell her. Because as a child, she wouldn't understand anything. But, possibly, she would go to the extent of.. suicide, if she finds out later in her life.

I mean, girls can be pretty dramatic sometimes, right?

I DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING BOUT ANDRAE

Okay.. maybe we female creatures, are dramatic...

Sometimes.. Okay! We are dramatic. Maybe just me. :P
