"Why do I have to talk to her?"

"Listen Kenny, it's serious. She thinks we're avoiding her. The poor girl feels left out since our marriage."

"I'm sorry she felt that way, what can I do to solve this?"

"That's why I asked you to talk this out with her..."

"But she- she never listens to me... she treats me like some.... stranger...."

"Well, I tried to talk with her.... but it didn't work..."

"Okay.... does she have any friends?"

"She never had friends.... she had me.... she would tell me that I was her only best friend..."

"Oh! Okay. I'll talk to her." He agreed.

He went to Stacy's room.

Her room was messy and dark. There was a pile of clothes and dirty socks on the floor. Her bed was not made. She was under the quilts on her bed. Her laptop was also on the bed.

"Whoa! How messy your room is!" He said.

"Why are you here, Kenny?" She mumbled under the sheets.

"Why are you talking from under the sheets?"

" I'm hiding from y'all."

"Why?"

"Because of your stupid, cheesy romance."

"Stacy, do you have a problem with me?"

"Affirmative."

"Why did you say that?"

"Because I'm so direct, I might tell you the truth."

"Listen. I'm tired of this hide and seek. We get it that you feel like like a third wheel. Let's talk this out."

"Lemme guess, Sharon told you right?"

"Stacy, that's not what-"

"And she want you to talk this out with me because she thinks I'm becoming an asshole!"

"Stacy, just hear me out, I really want to make things right with you.... I really do."

After a pause, she came out of the bed.

"Okay, I know you're lying, but I see that you're trying to make an effort and I love my sister, so... what do you want?"

"Stacy, whatever your problem is.... I'll try to fix it."

"Yeah. You wish."

"Please don't lose hope."

"Well...... what if I told you, that the problem is..... you?"

"Listen. You're not getting this...."

"I was happy before with my sister, until you came into her life. She was..... everything to me..... you ruined it! It's like... I've lost my only parent."

"I get it now. I've become a barrier, a nuisance to you. But you didn't lose anyone, Stacy! You'll always have both of us by your side to guide you."

"I don't need you. Or anyone."

"You know what, you're pissed off at me. I know the reason. You're mad at me because your sister has been spending more time with me ever since we got married. You hate me because, she had set her priorities with me and the baby we're expecting, and you feel left out in the rush. Isn't it?"

"I guess... but-"

"Let me complete. The only solution in your mind right is to break us apart right? But if I leave Sharon, would she be okay? No! Because I know her and she loves me so much. But she wants both of us in her life. That's why she loves us equally. Just imagine, if you had a partner and Sharon is single. She would also feel the same feeling that you're going through right now. If she asks you to break up with him, would you do it?"

"I can understand. I've envied you my whole life.... but I never even imagined in my life that I want to break you guys up.... "

"Oh really! Now I get it....."

"Get what?"

"You have a crush on someone right? And you can't tell anyone about it right?"

"Ugh! Yes..." she growled. "Well, how did you know?"

"You're a teenager. You get angry. I kinda guessed you have love problems.... also, I saw your Instagram stories...."

"Wait- but how?"

"I know you hate all that cheesy-love stuff. But recently you've been uploading love quotes which literally screams 'I want someone to love.' "

"Okay. No wonder you're a psychologist. You figure things out."

"Just doing my job! Now let's clean this room. Then we'll talk about it."

He began lifting up her bed sheets.

"No! Don't! " She said.

"Why?"

"Girl stuff. Lots of it."

"TMI. Okay then.... I'll head out...."

He walked out of the room.
