days have passed and I've been spending it in our own home away from our relatives avoiding getting in contact with Terran and Michael.
I ignored every text and call that I got from them. Thinking that it's probably the best if I didn't answer it.
"sis, here's your breakfast" my little brother ansel came inside holding a plate of pancakes in onenhand and a glass of milk in the other. He placed it on my bedside table and I thanked him.
"thanks Ansel"
"Mum said that you should get ready so that you won't miss your flight later" oh right, it's my last day here. Minutes later I'll be on my flight to London.
I nodded at him, and waited for him to leave the room.
"Want to play pokemon?" He made me smiled, I haven't played with him for so long that i actually forget what's it like to have a brother.
"maybe later when i'm done packing up my things"
"okay!" his derpy smile, made me giggle. I haven't seen him in a long time, and he's already grown up so much.
He left the room still with a smile on his face, while mine faded away. I haven't even heard anything from Ria and the others, I wonder how they're doing?
I wonder what you're doing Max.
I haven't forget about what happened at the airport. And it's been fucking with my feelings ever since.
a part of me is still in love with him and can't wait to see him again, while the other part is telling me to stop because he's just making a fool out of me,
"I don't know what to fucking do" I slammed my head against a pillow before letting out a loud groan.
I stared at my phone that was just inches away from me, wanting to call him to finally ask him about the kiss.
to my surprise, I did it without hesitation. I pulled the phone to my right ear and waited.
but he didn't answer.
I got paranoid, I continued thinking that something happened to him so I tried again. 3 more times.
Still no answer.
Maybe he's just busy, I mean he's a fucking idiot, he just left me with that a kiss without even explaining what it was really for.
"okay enough with this bullshit, time to pack up" I turned my phone off and placed it on the bed and began packing
..........
My mum, dad and my little brother dropped me off at the airport. I know this isn't my first time leaving them, but I ended up crying everytime. I couldn't be where I am right now without them. I wanted them to know that I love them very much, but I couldn't bring myself to say it .
I hugged them tightly before I go and spend the rest of the flight alone.
during the flight, I couldn't sleep. I kept on thinking of Yvette. How should I tell her that she's actually dating our cousin? more importantly ... I wonder how would she react?
I want to tell her as soon as I see her.
.......
I just landed, I've got all of my stuffs with me. Now I'm walking through the people outside looking from left to right as searching for Yvette and Ria, since they said that they'll pick me up. My heart starts racing once Maxon comes up to my mind. Am I ready to face him and asked him what happened?
"look there she is!" I heard Ria's voice, I turned around and saw her with Yvette, but Maxon is no where to be found.
"welcome back!" I tried to smile before they gave me a hug, but unfortunately they saw right through me
"Hey you okay? did something happened back home?" I faked a smile and shook my head.
"Where's Maxon by the way?" I looked around once more, but I saw Jack instead of Maxon.
"Hey Rachel! welcome back!"
"thanks, wheres Max?" I asked once more, it feels like they're not telling me something important.
"you mean he didn't tell you?" Jack answered and just I shook my head before we give each other hugs.
"He left to go to California. He's was transferred there, and he brought Iris with him" I was speechless, my smile faded, and my heart was picking up it's pace and starts to beat faster and faster.
"Oh" Was all that I can answer. I can't believe him.
"are you okay Rach, what's the matter did something happened between the both of you?" Jack asked before he could put his hand on my shoulder, showing how concern he was.
"I-uh nothing, I just never thought I'd never see that idiot's face again Whew that's good! come on let's go! I want to see Auntie Beth!" I pretended I was relieved that he was gone, But now all I could ever think of is punching him when he gets back-if he gets back.
We got inside Jack's car, while on the road no one spoke even a single word. Ria was sitting on the passenger seat while Yvette was sitting next to me. Silence took over, it was very irritating.
"Rachel, we know something's wrong. You can tell us, we're like sisters right? we don't keep secrets from each other" Ria suddenly broke the silence between us, Yvette then opened her arms and gave me a hug. Even if I had a secret I wouldn't be able to hide it from them ... So I might as well just tell them what's making my chest so heavy. But which one should I tell them first?
"Something did happened right? Is it with Maxon?" Jack asked, while looking at me through the mirror.
I nodded and told them what he did to me. And to my surprise Jack was furious.
"That dickhead, I can't believe he did that to you! he just left you just like that! as if nothing even happened" Jack started to raise his voice at the same time he was picking up some speed. Ria lifted her left arm and reached out to Jack so she could stroke his arm, telling him to calm down.
"I just ... I'm sorry Rachel, you should really just forget about him. He's an idiot, come on you know that. Playing with girls has always been his hobby" I nodded, I don't even know why I liked him in the first place, I mean yeah sure I know he's a player but that single flaw didn't kept me from loving him.
"Aren't you the same tho?" I commented, trying to change the gloomy atmosphere.
"NO I AM NOT! I used to, but that's all in the past now" He said as he smiled at Ria.
"Hmm I wonder why" Yvette giggled and teased Jack after.
We were laughing. But seconds later My smile already faded, because we weren't complete. And that missing person turned out to be an asshole that I liked before.
"Is there another thing you want to tell us? we're all ears" Ria said, making me nervous. Yvette is seated right next to me, I don't know how to say it to her.
"Umm yeah ... it's about Michael and Terran" Once I said that Yvette's face lits up and asked about Michael.
I looked away, and stared outside before taking a deep breath. Once I turned back to face Yvette, I still couldn't bring myself to say it. So I looked down and finally said ...
"We're Related"
