"What are you talking about?", I look at Anita like she's told me the most unbelieable tale ever.

"Yeah, he's all skinny like no one feeds him, huge pink lips the size of his head, and dresses punk-ish, right?", her face seems bored with the thought of him, but then shoots her eyes right Into mine.

"How is this...I don't get it, how does this happen?", I'm soo confused.

"He's my cousin, that's it, don't you go thinking I dated him or something! Gross!", she makes a yuck face and I can't help but chuckle a bit.

"But its too much, this can't be true, can it?", I put my hands up in the air reaching to whoever is up above. "How are you guys cousins though?".

"My mom and his mom are sisters, duh!".

I'm speechless, no joke.

"Do you like him? Do you guys love eachother?? Omg!", she yells and opens her arms apart inviting me for a hug.

I hug her, but not because the mysterious guy who kinda isn't soo mysterious anymore, and I are in love. He doesn't even know me, and even if he did which he doesn't, why would he? I don't love him either. Thinking about him and dedicating all of my life to him is not love. Besides, its all his fault, yeah, he's the one making me feel like this. But I can make it go away, right?

"OMG! You and I are gonna be sisters! Wait, no we're gonna be cousins!! Close enough right?", by that time she is squeezing my organs out. As much as I love her hug, I really needed it but I began to separate myself from her. "What's wrong?", she looks sad.

"You're cousin and I are not In love, he doesn't even like me at all. He helped me catch a breath as I was choking, but then he looked angry and just walked away. I don't know Anita, he's tough to understand", I put a pillow on my face, frustrated. I slide it off and look at the ceiling, " I don't want to talk about it anymore ok? Please."

"Uh..are you-"

"Just please. I'm a little uneasy about this all. Let's just not talk about it for a bit.", I look at her begging.

We're laying in my bed, she looked like she was ok with being quiet for a bit, but after a 5minute nap, she began talking again.

"You know, he's in a band. When we were little, he used to make me play drums with my moms pots while he used a broom to use as a guitar. He was quiet but he was a ball of fun when he opened up. Like one time he and I had Apple sauce, he loves that shit, but he loved it soo much to tell me that if girls would eat it, they would get cat whiskers! Oh my gosh! Cat whiskers! What a weirdo. He just wanted my Apple sauce...", I suddenly feel her look at me, I'm still quietly starring at the ceiling but I enjoy the stories, I try not to show it though, I don't want Anita to get all crazy again. "Even though he was weird sometimes, he is a guy worth trying for. I know you are very anti-relationship but if you like him, and he likes you, I think its worth trying..".

We pause for a while but I know I must say something. "Anita, he's got me feeling like I've been nothing before him, but I don't know him at all. My insides feel empty like at a wild amusement park ride, but I don't know him. And when he saw me, it...its just not meant to be. Please, I beg you, don't say anything and let's not talk about it for a long while, seriously please." I know I'm begging to the extreme. She hugs me as we lay In bed.

It was 8pm when Anita's dad picked her up, after our talk and all, we ate and did our homework together. She seemed calmed about it all, and that left me worried. I loved Anita but she was one to love me back to the point where she would do pretty much anything to make me happy. Oh oh.

10pm and my mum is back with my sisters. My step dad had met my mum and my aunts house, so they both got home right after one another.

"We're home!", I hear my step dad say.

"Don't give her a warning! What if she's up to no good?", that's my mum.

Oh great! Just what I needed, my family to help me sleep safely. I head towards the living room and my dad is carrying my baby sister. I take her from him, she's asleep and I lay her on my bed, I do the same with my sister Michelle and I'm satisfied to rest. I need the warmth and the love of my sisters to sleep, I always talk to them when I really need to, they don't really listen. Call me weird but they can't hear me when I need to talk and no one is there to listen, its perfect.
