Once i had made it in my room i had literally tried to sleep for a for a solid Fifteen minutes. After being frustrated with myself i just gained a random craving for bread.
So i made my way to the kitchen, and heard the television on. My little brother Max was glued to the T.V. and without looking in my direction he said,
"What's up, bro?"
My heart leaped out of my chest." Shh, they'll hear you." i said with my finger on my lips.
I didnt trust anyone really... and if i did then they are considered special. Max was special. Despite the fact that he was 9, he could keep a secret. Max was the only one who knew about my true gender.
He looked at me."not really. Mom's asleep, dad's at work, Vera went on a date and Conner is probably at the skate park."
"Oh...What are you doing here all alone?" i say taking the spot next to him.
"Just looking for a movie to watch."
"Nice, mind if i join?"
"not at all."
"Ok , I'll go make the popcorn."
"dont forget to-"
"put sour patches in it."
"yeah..." he giggles.
When i had came back with the bowl of popcorn, i realized that Max had picked my favorite movie of all time.... An Interview With A Vampire.
"Sweet, this movie is the best."
"i've never seen it"
" you wont regret it." i say with a smile.
I was so deep in the movie that I hadn't noticed max sleeping. It was kind of hard to believe because he snores really loud. When I did, I woke him so he could sleep in his room and I would do the same.

"Mom bought waffles." Max said poking my face with the Ego box.
"nice" i said opening my eyes and pushing the box away.
he placed the box on my face."Feel my Ego powers." he whined.
"Fine ill be down in 5." i chuckled.
I did my morning routine like take a shower, brush my teeth, put on my binder and what not. Then i made my way to the kitchen to find Vera almost sleeping in her waffles, Conner with his new "friend" practically having the sexuals at the table then mark(my foster dad) and Gina (my foster mom) arguing probably about breakfast. Then there was max frowning at the table poking his waffles with a dinner fork. It was sad... all he wanted was a happy family but he gets this shit.
Max looks up and smiles." your plate is by the toaster." he said dimly.
i nodded and walked over to the toaster by the sink. i didn't sit at the table because there were only seven chairs and and guess whose number eight.
"The lesbo finally left her room for once." connor said with laughter.
"hey, that's not nice." Gina snapped.
Still laughing he says " come on, she knows im kidding. right allie?"
They both look my way.
"it's Alex... and yeah."
At that moment my phone started vibrating in my pocket.
"Her girlfriend is calling her, see?" Conner said looking towards Gina.
Gina gave him the look.
I checked my phone to find that it was James.
Before answering the phone I ran upstairs to my room shutting the door behind me.
"Hello?"i say shyly.
"Hey."
"What's up?"
"Nothing much ,just wanted to see if you wanted to come over around five."
"Sounds good."
"See you here."
"alright, bye.."
"bye."
