The Love/Hate

14. Tom!!!!

I wake up with sweat dripping off of me, my he'd swirling with disturbing imaged slowly dissapearing. I had spent the whole if last night watching horror with Lukas, unaware if the nightmares I would get afterwards.

I check my DigiClock: 5:56am.
I decided to go down stars and grab my dressing gown from my door hook and pull it around my shoulders.

*******

When I get downstairs, I hear loud snoring coming from the living room ad reach for a knife from the kitchen drawer. "It's a criminal. You've always been prepared for this, Eva."

I creep over to treat chair and raise treatment knife, about to plunge it in when two confused brown eyes start darting around.

"Damn, Eva! I always knew you wanted to kill me." A grin wider than the universe takes over my face and I throw myself into my brothers open arms, staying in his bare chest for what seems like eternity. "How did you get in?"
"I got off of the plane about three hours ago so I called a cab here and let myself in."

"And then..."

"And then I nearly get stabbed by my sister!"

I curl up with him on the couch and ruffle my hands in Tom's messy hair. "When did you last wash this?"
"A few days ago." I stop touching his hair and nestle up in the blanket. Me and Tom have always been close and we've never fought which I think it's weird for a brother and sister.

"Goodnight, my little murderer."
"Goodnight...um...Tom!"

*******

I wake up surrounded by blankets and male arms and legs. I turn my head to a mop of dark hair and think, I didn't, did I?
I'm about to panic when the mop of hair sits up and turns into a face I recognise. "Morning, baby sis!"
"Tom!!! You know I forgot you were here." he let's out a low chuckle and rubs his eyes. He looks SO confused when he's tired, you would never imagine how straight forward he as at work.

"Get up, baby sis! You have school!"
I wrap my arms around him and he coughs, "I mean it, Eva! I'm not gonna be responsible for your lateness." I shrink away as his voice switches to the 'I mean business' one he uses on his colleagues. "but I'm gonna miss you!!!"

He smiles and hugs me back, "ill still be here when you get back. now, go!"
I jump up and turn to leave when he stops me, "You look hideous in the morning."

"And you look hideous every day, big brother!"
