Running for President

Chapter 15: Mending bonds

Andrea's POV

For the first time in forever, I can't believe I'm saying this...

Okay, I'm saying it.

I think I'm kinda grateful of having a twin brother.

There, I said it.

Last night, when I got home soaking wet, I immediately ran to my room and took a shower then cried myself a river on my bed. Because that at the moment I walked inside my home, everything crashed on me like a ton if bricks.

My parents called for me when it was dinner time and asked me what's wrong but I didn't answer them. I just resumed crying myself to sleep.

Then,

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling starved to death.

I silently crept down the stairs so that I wouldn't wake anybody up and went into the kitchen.

As soon as I was about open the fridge to get a tub of ice cream, someone called out to me.

"Andrea," I jumped with yelp before turning around in shock to see André staring at me with an amused expression as he leaned against the kitchen wall.

"Can't I emote in peace?!" I groaned and he smirked at me before opening the lights.

When he took in my appearance his eyes narrowed. "What happened?" He asked softly, surprising me.

"It's none of your concern." I replied angrily.

"Yes it is."

"Why do you care?"

"Because you're my sister."

"Well, that didn't stop you from being a jerk to me my whole life." I bit out angrily and he sighed.

"Can't you just tell me what's wrong?"

"Never." I told him as I walked past him, angry that I wasn't able to get my ice cream.

"It's about Pam and that photo, isn't it?" I froze.

"He-Her name is P-Pauline..." I managed to squeak out before tears silently rolled down my cheeks.

"Look at me." He said softly, in that brotherly voice that can make you feel relaxed and important that somebody cares.

I turned around slowly before running into his already outstretched arms. It felt like looking at a completely different person, was the only way to describe André right now.

"Shh...You're gonna be fine." He told me gently as he wiped my tears.

"No, I'm not! It's over, I'll be the laughing stock and I lost one of my best friends!" I sobbed into his shirt. I really really missed Pam. It wouldn't be the same without her in our group.

"If they were true friends, you'd be surprised at how understanding they can be." I nodded before pulling away. "Goodnight. Bro-bro." I saw him cringe at his given nickname and laughed softly.

"Okay, okay, you got me." He said as he held his hands up in surrender. "Goodnight." He added shortly before I went back into my room and suprisingly had a good night sleep for the the first time in what seemed like ages.

A/N:

Ya'll must really hate me right now, don'tcha?

I'm so sorry!!!

My uncle had cancer and my grandpa fell off two flights of stairs! So I couldn't update because of the recent hospital visits.

I hope you guys can forgive me.
