I Love You Brother

Chapter 1

It was the end of the day, Emily stood waiting for Jacob on the corner like always so they could walk home together. Even though they were twins, they had different classes and it always took him a few extra minutes. She looked down and skidded her shoe on the ground, her face a little hot, she always felt strange when thinking of her brother. She looked up at approaching footsteps, but instead of Jacob, was met my a group of bullies from her class. They circled her, the three of them taunting  

"Freak" "Just die" "No one wants you" 

She tried to retreat but began feeling lightheaded, she made it three steps before falling on a small patch of grass. In a pleading voice she whispered 

"Jacob" 

The three of them stood over her, taunting, suddenly one fell to the ground screaming in pain, the other two backed away and were replaced by Jacob. He stood glaring at them, they advanced and swung at him. Jacob ducked and kneed one in the gut and punched the other in the face. The three ran away, bruised and bloody, Jacob turned and helped Emily up. She looked down embarrassed. 

"Your anemia is causing problems, isn't it?" 

He smiled, she blushed, she was feeling that strange feeling again. They didn't make it two steps before Jacob fell to his knees, he pulled a sucker out of his pocket and sucked on it, Emily helped him up. 

"You make fun of my anemia while you go fall down from low blood sugar?" 

It was his turn to be embarrassed. They walked home next to each other, Emily urged to hold Jacob's hand but was too unsure of the consequences. They arrived at their small home and did their chores. Jacob took a shower while Emily cooked dinner, Madison arrived just in time for dinner. She always came home just in time for dinner then had roughly two hours before having to head to her second job. They ate in relative silence, nothing worth talking about happend that day. After dinner, Jacob did the dishes and Madison took a show, while Emily watched TV on their couch, which later that night would fold out into Madison's bed. She pretended to watch TV but kept glancing at Jacob, his hair was still wet and she just loved how it gently fell down his face. Once he finished the dishes he came over and sat down about a foot away from Emily, who tried not to be too obvious as she glaced at him repeatedly and inched her way closer to him. Madison left for work yelling behinder her 

"Bye guys!" 

"Bye" 

They both said together. Emily slowly leaned on Jacob, he turned to look at her. 

"What" 

"Nothing" 

She said. They sat for a while, Emily feeling her brother's warmth. Eventually Jacob moved, making her cold. 

"You'd better go take a shower, its getting late" 

He smiled, she loved his smile 

"Okay" 

"I'm going to bed then, see you tomorrow." 

He headed toward his room, Emily thought long and hard while she showered. She wasn't sure whether her face was hot due to the hot water or not but by her racing heart she knew the answer. She decided as she dried and got in her PJs. She crept through the dark hall, the longer parts of her hair wet on her shoulders. She tiptoed paster her room and went to Jacob's, the smaller of the two. She was able to crawl in his bed without waking him, she kept her face mere inches away from his, he looked so peacfull while he slept. She lightly brushed her fingers on his cheek, his eyes opend slowly. 

"Wha? Emily? What are you doing?" 

He looked confused 

"I-I got scared. Can I sleep with you? It'll be just like when we were little" 

He smiled at her, her face got hot. 

"Of course you can." 

She turned so that her back was to him, she lifted his arm and put it around her. They layed there quiet for a few minutes. 

"Jacob...?" 

"Yes?" 

He sounded tired 

"I-I love you..." 

"I love you too sis" 

"No. I mean i Really love you..." 

Jacob pulled his arm away 

"Y-you l-love me?!" 

"Yes, I always have" 

She turned to face him, there was a look of shock on his face. 

"..." 

She leaned forward and kissed him, he didn't pull away, he didn't move. She slowly pulled away, turned her back to him, and went to sleep, engulfed in his warmth. Jacob didn't sleep, how could he? He just kept going over it again and again in his mind. 

My twin sister loves me?! 

What do i do? 

We Kissed! 

I didn't hate it... 

he was awake all night, pondering the situation. 

Did he love her?
