                            "Will you get off that phone for once?" my mom asks and I look up, my mouth full of lucky charms.

"No." I point my spoon at her and she rolls her eyes as I continue scrolling through Instagram.

"Well, I promised your sister that I'd leave her and Grayson the kitchen because they were going to be baking a cake or something, so clear out your stuff afterwards, okay?" my mom asks and I look at her,

"Why are you so supportive of her and Grayson? When I was dating him you didn't really even like him." I state and she exhales deeply,

"Let's not get into this now."

"No, you love Grayson and Sophia so much together but when I was dating gray you kinda just ignored him." I say, "Why?"

"Because you talked to me about things, your sister was more quiet. Ever since she started dating Grayson she's been talking to me and she's been happier. You were the same, and you talked to me less with him. He's having more of a positive impact on her than he was you." she explains and I look at her with my eyebrows furrowed, "Nothing, just forget it. I know you must be upset, so find me if you need to talk?"

"Yeah." I nod and she smiles gently, walking upstairs. I sigh and put my empty bowl into the sink, sliding my phone into my pocket and walking up to my room. I plug my headphones in and open YouTube to watch music videos.

After a few hours, I get up and go back downstairs to get a water. Stupidly, I forgot that Grayson was here with Sophia and walk right in on them making out. I slowly back out of the room so they don't hear anything and lean against the wall. All I want to do is gouge my eyeballs out now and I'm still thirsty.

A squeal comes from Sophia and I cringe, then a laugh comes from Grayson and I think it's safe to go in and get a water from the fridge. I walk in and see them having a food fight, then stop in my tracks and my mood instantly drops even more.

"Don't you dare!" I exclaim as Grayson slowly reaches for the flour, "Grayson, gray if you touch me with that I'll break up with you."

"No, you won't." he says and pours a spoon of flour over my head. I smirk and reach for an egg. "No, Sky, I'm having a good hair day."

"Yeah...so was I." I retort and crack the egg over his head, smiling widely and laughing.

"Oh, it is so on." he says, reaching for the sugar and I get another egg to throw at him as he flicks the sugar at me. I crack the egg on his shirt and he shakes his head, reaching for the frosting before I snatch it out of his reach and open it, picking up some frosting with my finger and smudging it on his face. He cracks the egg on my head, I throw the flour at him, and he gets frosting all over my face.

"My mom is going to kill me..." I sigh and he looks at me,

"It was so worth it though." he jokes and I looks at me, kissing me. "Come on, let's clean up."

After cleaning up the kitchen, we go clean up ourselves. He showers and then I do, changing into some comfy clothes and he changes into sweatpants and a hoodie that he has left here or that I took from him. One of the two.

"Hey, Sky, can we talk?"

"Yeah, about what?" I ask, sitting beside him and he eyes the picture I have of Sophia and I on the wall. I furrow my eyebrows at him and raise my hand to his cheek comfortingly, "Babe, are you okay?"

"I think we need to break up." he blurts and I pull my hand away quickly, "Sky..."

"Why?"

"The-there's, uh, there's someone else." he says, biting his bottom lip, "I'm sorry."

"It's been three years, who is it?" I ask and he shakes his head,

"That's not important."

"Yes it is! You're breaking up with me because of her who is she?!" I yell, standing up.

"Sophia." he says and my muscles relax, surprisingly. Not because I'm relived, because I don't know what to do. I look at him in disbelief,

"You're breaking up with me for my twin sister?!" I ask, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"I'm sorry, Skylar." he says and I shake my head,

"Get out."

"Let me ex-"

"Get out!" I yell and he comes over, holding me in his arms. I clench my jaw and pull away from him, "Leave, Grayson."

"I'm s-"

"If you're sorry you wouldn't break up with me for my twin sister." I say quietly, "Get the hell out."

He nods and walks out of my room, I slam my door behind him and pick up the picture of us beside my bed, throwing it at the wall and plopping down on my bed, holding my head in my hands and crying.

I look at them, shaking my head and running up to my room, slamming my door and walking to my bedside table, opening the drawer and taking out the picture of Gray and I. A small smile comes to my face as I look through the rest of the stuff. My door swings open and I slam the drawer shut, seeing Sophia there covered in food.

"Could you not slam doors? It's really annoying." she says and I shake my head, "Also, can I use your shower. Gray is in the one downstairs."

"No, get out of my room." I say and she rolls her eyes,

"You're going to have to get over this eventually, he's with me now." she says and I look at her, "It's over between you two. Face it."
