The party

Something was different about the Rosewood Residence. Things were Quieter. Tension was thinner. Teenagers were happier. Juliette and Jasper Rosewood were out of town, on their annual trip to the falls. Leaving Junius and Juniper to do whatever their hearts desired and Junius' desired a party. Punk tunes played from the vinyl stereo as Juniper worked on the painting she had anticipated on finishing all week. Little did she know that today she would not complete much of anything that she started.

Junipers POV

I had just began refilling the black paint on my plastic pallet when a masculine voice interrupted. "I know it's last minute, but I forgot to tell you that Audrey and I are throwing a party that starts at 6. So, you might want to put a shirt on unless you're planning on getting laid tonight." Junius said from between the cracked door with a humorful wink. I lightly giggled.

"You said Audrey's coming?" I asked with a bit of attitude.

"Why, are you planning on killing her?" Junius questioned jokingly, squinting his slanted eyes.

"Just curious about the type of bullshit you are putting me up against tonight."

"You'll live. Meet me in the living room once your dressed, I need help setting up" carelessly said my brother before completely closing my door.

Narrator

Party setup went by quickly for the Rosewood Twins as their parents owned a world's supply of liquors and wines. So many that they could not have finished in all their lifetimes combined. No one had arrived yet, leaving Juniper and Junius watching a film on one of their many couches. Juniper was wearing a skimpy but classy outfit consisting of a black choker, a tight black long-sleeved crop top, and an olive-green miniskirt with sexy black heels. By preference Juniper decided to sit in her brothers lap as he checked his phone, leaving only her attention on the movie.

Junius POV

Juniper's sweet perfume smelled just like the finest of earths flowers as she lay in my arms. The amount of affection she requests from me sometimes seems extreme, but I try to keep in mind she doesn't really have anyone. Love I receive from our parents is like appraisement compared to the hate that they show her. Our mother and father have beaten her black and blue on many occasions, and I couldn't even tell you why. And I don't see how her sexuality is really an issue as she has no girlfriend to "embarrass" them. One innocent kiss with a girl after a football game changed her whole life.

My thoughts were interrupted by a key going into the door and it now being open. I peered over to see Audrey followed by what appeared to be the entire Junior and Senior classes.

"Hey baby," Audrey said in a seductive tone before giving me a rough kiss. Her brown skin looked even more sexy tonight and her hair was straightened to the T. "Someone's in my seat.", she added looking at Juniper with nothing but envy. I tapped Juniper's arm signaling for her to get up. "But I'm so comfortable.", she whined wrapping her arms around me tighter. At this point she was about to get pushed off, but I decided she's had enough of that type of treatment. My eyes looked down at hers that were focused on seeing past Audrey who was in front of the TV. "Is she slow?" asked Audrey with a spiteful smirk. At this point it was obvious Juniper was just being stubborn. "Stop", I whispered to my sister, not defending her from Audrey's rather rude question. "Wow, talk about a blonde" Audrey added, popping her gum.

Finally, Juniper got up and shoulder brushed Audrey in the process before stomping away in her stilettos. I heard Juniper mumble "Ratchet Bitch", which caught all of my friend's attention and left them with looks of dismay. They all began to chuckle. I then motioned for Audrey to sit on my lap but she declined. "Is that really your damn sister?", she asked in disbelief. My lips pursed, we were almost identical. Was she serious?
