Maggie Norris and Luke Vaudest come with attitudes of stone-cold, rude, sarcastic snakes. Every single time the pair have clashed, it has never ended up being a good thing. The two are more than fine with never crossing paths, again.

"Grandmothers always have time to talk and make you feel special." — Catherine Pulsifer ————————————————————
Chapter 3 <—————————————>
Maggie
The entire day at work had been slow. I had worked an early shift, and was even debating on going home early, until the mayor's bastard came right in.
Even though I held my composure through our little 'talk', it all went out the window once I saw him approach Lowen, who was my boss.
I wanted nothing more than to tell Lowen where he could shove his little eye goggling, but I refrained, since I needed the money.
My grandmothers' treatments hadn't gotten any cheaper, despite the court settlement. My mother, her own daughter, didn't spare a cent on me, but for my brother, she gave the little she did have.
It made sense. Jax was the apple of everyone's eye, the golden child. I was simply the extra fetus that came with tits, an extra hole, and an attraction to fuck ups.
I loved my twin brother all the same, nonetheless. He never made me feel inferior, or less than. He was my best friend. He had always included me, protected me, and loved me for who I was. We were all the other had for so long, and he had quite literally saved me, despite his claim to the idea.
Nearly three years ago, our grandmother picked us up, and moved us to Washington. Despite Kansas being the town she grew up in, she knew that there was far too much damage done in that town. The trauma would only smother me if I had remained there any longer.
The move wasn't so bad in itself, despite the heavy guilt I carried for causing it all. I made friends here, well...a family, really. All I had ever known was my twin, his agonizing pep speeches, and deliciously good cooking, but then, I met Kimberly and Raven.
The two were an odd pair, and at first, I was unsure of it. Of them. I had never trusted anyone else before, but the longer I was around them, the more the two became sisters' more than anything else. Sooner than I wanted, though, we'd all went our separate ways for school. Kimberly to Pennsylvania, and Raven to god knows where for a gap year with Levi, her boyfriend.
Not only were they my best friends, but also my own personal live drama. I'd never understood their relationships with Kade and Levi, but after a while, I learned to just be happy for them.
Kimberly had definitely changed when something went down between her and Kade, but once we all saw what he did for her at the Christmas lights, I hadn't seen that pretty smile on her face in nearly a year. I was still skeptical because whatever Kade had done, had obviously hurt, but if she chose to forgave him, there was nothing I could do. If she was happy, then I was ecstatic. I just wished she hadn't left Washington so soon.
