Chapter 16

ABIGAIL'S POV

I sat on my couch, staring at the television intently. My hand was on Chase's hand, my nails digging into his skin. My other hand was around my popcorn bowl. I'm not sure why I said yes to watch a scary movie. But I did. I was an idiot sometimes.

"Don't open the door," I muttered stupidly.

"Don't open it!" I said loudly.

The door to my room opened and I screamed, dropping my popcorn to the floor and me and Chase along with it. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping I wasn't going to get killed. I heard laughter and I looked up to my mom. I narrowed my eyes at her and pulled myself away from Chase. That little human giraffe. I heard my mom laugh harder and Chase was glaring at me. I looked at them in confusion.

"Human giraffe! Classic Abby," my mom said her green eyes shining.

My eyes widened and I blushed. Oops.

"Sorry Chase," I mumbled softly.

His eyes shined in amusement,"No problem midget."

"Midget? Midget? MIDGET? Oh heck no," I said lunging toward his head with my pillow.

He started hitting me with a pillow he grabbed and soon my mom joined to. My dad walked in confusion evident in his eyes.

"What's -," he said but couldn't finish because my mom gave out her battle cry and lunged for my dad.

His brown eyes widened in surprise when my mom knocked him to the ground, and beat him with a pillow. I stared at them and laughed. Chase started laughing too. Sometimes they acted just like us. I laughed even more when my dad managed to get away from her and started running. He was a chicken.

"Lily! Don't hit me! I'm your husband!" I heard my dad yell.

I giggled, my dad couldn't do anything to my mom. She was like a ball of energy. I plopped on the couch next to Chase, who didn't want to leave. He always slept in my room when we watched scary movies. He was a chicken too.

"Chase move," I whined.

"No."

I groaned and sat on his stomach. He groaned in response and I smirked.

"So, Abby why didn't you wait for Beau?"

I sighed,"He has a girlfriend. I just want to move on."

"I know, but he likes you."

My heart skipped a beat,"He told me,but I like Will too."

"Keep away from him and stay with Will. Maybe in time you'll know what you want without a doubt baby sister."

"Thanks Chase. I'm hanging with my friends tomorrow. Wanna go?"

"Sure can I take a girl?"

"Of course bro. Why?"

"Cause you judge all of them Abby!"

I laughed. That was so true.

"It's cause none of them are perfect for you and you were a player before. I don't want you hurting more girls like you did before."

His eyes filled with shame and he looked at the ground. He use to be bad. Really bad. We had to send him away to an all boys school for one year. He finally stopped, but he was still ashamed. In fact this year was the year he came back. I looked at my brother. There was no doubt we were siblings even though we had different physical features. We had the same cheek bones and the same dimple on our cheek. He was an awesome brother, and I wouldn't change him for anything in the world. I put my hand over his in comfort. He looked up at me, his brown eyes shined at me. I guess he was remembering Noah. His little boy. My nephew. He had died premature. His girlfriend at the time,June, went into labor at six months. The doctor's tried to save Noah, but they couldn't. That's why I cared so much for Selene. She has the chance while my nephew didn't. Without knowing it, I wanted to care for her like I would have for my nephew. My brother and I sat in silence, both of us consumed in our own thoughts.

"Abby do you think about Noah often?"

"I do."

He sighed,"I was an idiot. June was so young and beautiful. I was only fifteen and she was fourteen. I ruined her. The thing I regret most is that after he died, I wanted to hurt other people. I wanted to blame someone, but I couldn't because I was to blame. I got her pregnant. I mean she was fourteen! She was a child herself."

"You didn't know better. You both have came a long way you know. She even started dating again, and I hear that she's had the same boyfriend since she was sixteen. Which would be one year."

"I want to see her Abby."

My eyes widened in surprise.

"June?"

"Yeah. I want to apologize."

"When?"

"How about Monday? Since we're on break and everything."

"Yeah okay. I hope she'll see you though."

"Will you come?"

"If you want me to."

"Please."

"Okay I'll go. I miss seeing her around."

"Me too."

I got up from the couch and brought out the mattress I had under my bed. I only used it when i had sleepovers or when Chase slept in here. I got blankets from my closet and fixed his bed. He layed down when I finished and closed his eyes. He was always going to be in pain. I laid in my own bed and closed my eyes. Sleep took over me.
