Apple of My Eye

Facetime

"Hey dad," Madison says.
"Madison, there you are!" Madison's dad, Ethan, is more than happy to see her daughter well. "I'm glad you're not dead!"
"Yeah, I guess that's cool." Madison laughs a bit to herself.
"Oh, look who came to see you!" Ethan holds up Madison's younger brother, Maverick. "Hi sis!"
"Hey, Maverick!" Madison smiles at the sight of his younger brother.
"Find any lover yet?" Ethan asks.
"Dad.." Madison starts to protest.
"Boyfriend? Girlfriend?" Ethan begins marking down genders on his fingers.
"Dad..!" Madison slowly gets frustrated.
"Transgender? Maybe even a-" Ethan continues.
"Dad! Enough! I get it!" Madison snaps.
Ethan stops with the questions. "Just making sure. After all, you are my daughter!"
"Yeah. And.. Just because I'm Bi-" Madison starts.
"Bi- yourself!" Maverick corrects.
Madison ignores him. "-doesn't mean I'll find all women attractive.. I like both genders, I'm not lesbian!"
"Good. You know how your mom used to be.." Ethan trails off.
"Mom's dead, don't make fun of people who can't defend themselves."
"You still didn't answer my question, Madison. Have you found a lover?" Ethan asked.
"Well.. There is somebody.."

"Hey mom. Where's dad?" Rowan asks.
"Oh, he's at work. Rowan's mother, Eleanor, tells him."
"As always. It's like he spends more time at work than with his whole family!"
"Rowan, you know that's not true. We need money to keep this family alive." A new voice replies. Rowan's older sister, Sage.
"Why can't he just get a better paying job? That will be so much easier!"
"Rowan, control yourself!" Eleanor stops Rowan before he goes on a rant.
Rowan stops. "I just wish that we could move to a better place.. Maybe a place closer to Madison.."
"Who's Madison?" Sage asked.
Rowan immediately covers his mouth. "Did.. Did I say that out loud?"
"Yes, dumbass." Sage scoffs.
"Hey, watch your language, retard!" Rowan trails off after saying that.
"You two are idiots.." Eleanor rubs her temples.
"I'm not an idiot!" Rowan protests.
"All bisexuals are idiots." Sage says, filing her nails.
"I'm.. I'm not bisexual!" Rowan protests once more.
"Explain this, then." Sage pulls out a bisexual flag from Rowan's drawer.
"Hey! Why are you going through my stuff?" Rowan's outraged.
"You're in college. I'm throwing away stuff you don't need." Sage says into the camera.
"Fuck you!" Rowan hangs up the facetime and sits at his desk. He spins around in his chair for a little bit before pulling out a notebook. He grabs colored pencils and starts drawing in it.
