Bleeding Hearts

Chapter 14

*Ryan's Point of View*

My family is weird. I loved them, and they were fun, but they are weird. I had my mom, dad, and two little brothers. My brothers were twins and were basically two halves of a whole idiot. I like to call them thing one and thing two. "Hey!" Thing one yelled at me. "Ryan!" Thing two yelled right after thing one. Their real names were Aiden (thing one) and Adam (thing two). Aiden was 90 seconds older than Adam, and he made sure Adam never forgot it. They were both five. "Ooh look his girlfriend is here!" The things laughed. "I bet they were kissing!" Adam said his face scrunching up. "EWWWWWW!" They both said. "I'm gonna get you!" I said and began to chase after them. They both screamed and started running. Ashley just laughed. I knew a lot of people with A names. Ashley, Aiden, Adam, Alex... I caught Adam and he screamed. I made my fingers into a gun and pointed it at his head keeping him held there tightly. "Take it back or the orange one gets it!" I said to Aiden. They both have bright orange red hair, from my mothers side. "Keep going Aiden, leave me!" Adam said dramatically. "No! I won't leave you, brother!" Aiden said back, just as dramatic. "i-I take it back." He said quietly. "Say it louder! I don't think I could quite hear you." I said pressing the "gun" closer to Adam's head. "I take it back!" He shouted and I let Adam go. They both ran as fast as they could up to the room they shared. Ashley was just laughing the whole time. Meanwhile, my parents were putting away the food they just bought. They came into the room with carrot guns. "This is the police! Put your hands in the air where we can see them, or we shoot!" They said pointing the carrots at me. "Never!" I said and turned my finger gun to them. "You have threatened a civilian and must go to jail!" They said. Just then, Ashley grabbed my hands and put them behind my back. "Traitor." I said as she brought me into the kitchen jail. "As punishment you must make dinner." My parents said. Ahhh I was a horrible cook. They knew it too, I bet they had whataburger and will just throw out whatever I burn. "I will help this criminal." Ashley said. I have been saved! She was great at cooking. "Very well. I, am going to go bathe the boys." My mother said. "And I have to go do a little more work, so bye." Dad said, and they both cleared out, leaving me and Ashley alone in the kitchen. Ashley went into the pantry, then looked in the fridge. "Seafood Alfredo?" She asked. "Sure." I said and we began to cook. Throughout the whole thing, I pretty much messed up everything I did. She just smiled, fixed it, and carried on. "Soooooo..." She said. Oh crap. "How about answering that truth" she asked. Ohhhhhh crap. "I already told you, nobody!" I insisted as I made another cooking mistake. She reached over, took my hands and fixed it, and spoke again. She was very calm in the kitchen. "I know you better than that. Who is it?" She asked again. "Fine. I do like somebody." I confessed. "I knew it." She said. "Who?" I tried to think of something to say. I could lie. She'd see through it. I could confess. That'd be better, but hard. I could confess and make a joke out of it. Maybe. I don't know. "Ryan?" Ashley asked. I had to say something. "Well..."
