Still into You [GxG]

1.

- Sometimes you have to comeback and pick where you left.

I stared to our old house as the memories comes back in replay. This is where I grew up, a lot of childhood memories, stories and happenings stayed when I choose to left all behind "Reese" mom calls out, leveling her head to the car window before opening the door, gesturing in a hurrying motion so I comply before she turns to a dragon.

"Your brother is always a pain in the ass" mom complained with her eyes fixated in the phone screen "he says he's on his way back" then look at me in frown angry face "can you believe it? He still acts like a child because your 'great father' condone his behavior. He should have come with us from the first place"

And now she turned into a dragon, I bet you can see the steam coming from her nostrils.

Mom and dad is both great as a parents but not as partner. They have their differences.

"Reeses?" Tilting my head, Ross is looking at me in shock face. His lip slowly turns into smile before walking up and engulfing my body "I miss you twinny" he breaks the hug and stared at me "We miss you little brat! It's been what? How many years?"

I raise two finger to say "2 years"

Yes. It has been 2 whole years from the day I chose to leave everything behind. The day I chose peace of mind over upcoming heartache.

"Wow are you trying to look Wanda?" He says between messing my red hair but playfully slapping his hand.

Ross is my annoying twin brother, my best friend and between us? I'm the smart one, at least my parents thinks. But when I left this town, I cur all the connections, social media and even change my number and apple I.D so I will not be tempted to look back here and move forward.

He then diverted to mom who's pissed earlier but softens after seeing him.

From the corner of my eyes, there's Jules walking her dog. She tear her eyes away as if she didn't know me or worst, acting as if were strangers when for a fact she's my childhood best friend.

"Come on Reese" Ross says playfully tapping my shoulder.

I settled to my old room, nothing change not even a bit. Mom says her goodbyes to us, she's always busy at work and we know that it's her way of coping mechanism after her and dad filed a divorce. And dad is out of country as well. They shared a lot of similarities, very compatible, it's just that, their relationship didn't work out.

Two knocks to my open door and there he is in his devious smirk "My friends are coming over tomorrow night that okay with you?"

What his friend literally mean is no other than his bestfriend-girlfriend Jacelle Leclair—and that is one of the main reason why I chose to go live with mom is Adelaide.

The expression of his face turns soft after realizing that it makes me somehow uncomfortable "Look Reese, I know that Jace and you ended...complicated. But she's still my best friend" he shrug then continues "And it has been 2 years, I thought when you choose coming home then you're okay now"

Of course I'm fine, more than fine. But I guess, I just don't know how to act around her since we're not the way we used before—just like Ross said, complicated.

Raising my index finger to draw a line between his conceited conclusion "First. I left because mom need me or she will loose her shit and you stayed here for dad. So it means, that's not because some shitty friend of you" of course I had to makeup an excuse to make believe myself and them.

His smirk gets wider and I hate it when he lightly nod in sarcasm to say "Fine. But so you know we're twin" he says surrendering both hands then walking back in his room which is just in front of mine.

We're twin but sometimes I wish I choke him using his own umbilical cord when we're still inside mom or prick his water sack.
