Cotton Candy Kisses

Morning, Morning

I groan as I feel something kick my back. It's a hard kick and soon a hand comes up and slaps my face. I open my eyes wide and see that I'm laying in Jakes bed, everything from last night comes back to me. My cheeks are stained with my tears and I look over at Jake, his hair is all over the place and his mouth is open with soft snores coming from him. I'm tempted to just kick him off the bed but decided against it, not this morning.

I get up and head to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and look in the mirror my skin looks pale and small bags hang from my eyes, my eyes squint still not fully awake. I sigh and turn the water on. I stand under the water not moving for a while. Not really thinking about anything in general. My mind to jumbled that it switches from topic to topic. I take my shower cleaning my hair and body before stepping out.

I change into a black pleated skirt and white turtle neck crop top that snuggs my chest. With white chucks. I let my hair air dry not really caring, no not today. Jake walks into my room twirling the keys in his finger. I smile at him softly.

"Are you okay?" His voice is small. Instead of answering I just nod my head. "Okay we're leaving in five. Do you want anything to eat?" I shake my head and he leaves the room without another word.

That's how our relationship was, growing up its always just been me and him. My father pays attention to him more but when it comes to me it's always been different and whenever something happend Jake was there to comfort me and protect me. He doesn't push me into talking about things because he knows I'll just snap or cry. He understands me as I understand him I guess that's the perks of being a twin. I love him.

"Let's go brother" I say walking out the door. While I pass the kitchen I notice my dad sitting down at the table in the exact same spot every morning but this time I don't bother saying anything because I'll just be ignored and I can't handle it right now. I hear Jake right behind me.

"Are you going to Nialls party tonight?" He ask me.

"Yeah I think so are you?" We both sit in the car and he drives off.

"Well I wasn't sure at first but now that I know you're going I'm definitely going" he says and I laugh a little.

"Over protective much?" I tease him.

"Psh over protective? Is that even a question? I gotta make sure you're okay and I swear to god if I see that Jeremy kid do anything to you I will sm-"

"Jake I told you it was an accident give the kid a break" I roll my eyes and when I look at him I notice him rolling his eyes too.

"I don't care I don't like him" he states with a shrug of his shoulders.

Jake hates Jeremy but puts up with him for me. It all started the beginning of Sophomore year. Me and Jeremy were up in my room and he got pissed at me because he found a couple of text messages from a guy that I knew. The messages weren't bad I wasn't cheating or anything but Jeremy took it that way and he yelled at me smashed a hole in my wall and basically force me to not speak to him again. Jake came storming in the room with a look of pure hatred and kicked him out of the house. Now even the mention of Jeremy's name gets Jake all riled up.

"I promise you I'll be fine, I want you to go and have fun too okay?" I tell him. He smiles a little and I poke his cheek. "There that smile is" he pushes my hand away with a laugh as we pull up to school.

We go our separate ways when he runs into a couple of guys from the football team. Jeremy's waiting at my locker again. I smile up at him when he brings me into a hug. He looks down at me and kisses my forhead.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to fight with you anymore" he speaks up after a moment of silence.

"I hate fighting I just wanna be with you and be happy I'm tried of fighting all the time" I tell him honesty. He nods his head slowly and kisses my lips. The kiss doesn't last long, I'm the one who pulls away from him. He scans my face for a while and I just look into his eyes. "Are you going to Nialls party tonight?" I ask.
