Tsireya

Once Rotxo and Lo'ak seemed to be doing better we all decided it was best to call it a night.

Rotxo huddled close to me and Ao, lowering his head as he softy spoke, "Hey I'm just gunna go to my grandmas- okay ?"

"No way dude you can't go there alone !" My brothers started speaking with there eyes, having a whole conversation within just a few glances.

"No." Rotxo turned around, heading straight for his jeep. I knew Ao communicated that we should come with him. I raced around the passenger side - yanking the handle many times before he finally let me in. I threw the door wide open- quite satisfied with my actions, "What Tsireya ???" He seemed annoyed and frustrated. Like he couldn't stand me just being there. "Come on..." I glanced up towards him- through my eye brows. Pleading with every body language to let me come. His jaw opened ready to respond until Aonung entered the back. "Let's go Ro !" His large hands clasped the back of are head rests. Playfulness and determination filled his eyes.

Rotxo let out a large sigh before start up the car. I noticed how much tension was in the air. The whole ride was silent. Only the faint whistle of an open can hitting the cup holder could be heard. It was driving me insane but I didn't dare to move.

"So Rotxo... are you mad about Spider ?" My brother awkwardly played with fingers while speaking . I knew it was selfish to want answers, but Rotxo had always given them to us.

He sat there watching the road, making small adjustments in the wheel down the street. He slowly came to stop on a grassy patch. While shifting the car into park he turned to face us, looking nothing less then heartbroken and probably embarrassed.

His breath was incredibly shaken while speaking, " You know how much I hate spider. And then, today, he showed up. Stole Kiri. Punched me. And then stole Kiri again."

"If you want Kiri this much then why don't you make a move ?" I knew being so blunt was harsh. But sulking like this was becoming unhealthy...

"I did and then she left. With Spider." Tears swelled in the corners of his eyes. Facing away from us I could still see in the reflection on his window that he was fighting it. Aonung placed his hand on the back of Rotxo head- trying to deliver some sort of comfort.

"What happened at the beach ?" I whispered.

"Me and Kiri kissed." His gaze floated around but still not making eye contact with two of us.

"Okay- so she likes you ?" Ao seemed a bit too hopeful.

"No she left with spider ! If she liked me she would have stayed..."

"Maybe..." Ao continued with his seemingly harmless response, "Maybe she's confused. And doesn't really know what she wants right now."

"Tsireya are you confused with Lo'ak ? Got any other guys your flirting with ?" I knew Rotxo was trying to prove a point, but this made me realize how much I wanted Lo'ak.

"No I'm not..." I bite the insides of my cheeks- fighting the loving grin from forming.

"Knew it..."

"buzz", "buzz", "buzz"... Small buzzing vibrations tickled my thigh. I lifted my right side reaching into my back pocket, whipping my phone out.

"Shit it's mom !" My brothers eyes both exploded as their jaws dropped. They waved their arms around- motioning for me to not answer. But I knew not answering would make it worse.

"Hey Mom !"

"Tsireya we're are you ? And your brothers ?"

"Ummmmmmm, we're at the beach. Remember the hangout with the Sullys ?"
