*Vanessa*

"Rudy! come on give me my laptop!" i said running after him, when he grabbed my laptop off my desk, we were looking at condos together when he saw a notification pop up on my twitter feed, and he took it and was reading all my tweets aloud. he got to the bottom of the staircase and leaped away from me when i almost got him and ran into the living room, followed after him.

"when your dad asks your dad if your got your homework done at your friends, when really all you did was gossip and ate junk food #gotnohomeworkdone #badliar, geez Ness, didn't know you were so devious." he laughed he ran over and jumped over the couch and fell, dropping my laptop, i ran to it almost getting it, but he quickly got up and took it again. damn he's good.

"Rudy!" I whined jogging after him.

he made his was to the kitchen we circled arounf the counter, i grabbed three rags and was trying to though them at him.

i through one, hitting his face, but didn't affect him, i ran more, he circled laughing, "when you walk in on your brother searching your room so your chhase him with a bra #brotherssuck #bra power, that has never happened with me and my sister, you guys are insane!" he laughed, i threw the other two, he caught one, throwing it at me and sprinted back upstairs. i ran after him, cornering him.

"Rudy please just-"

i looked up and saw that suddenly his face fell and was angry, he looked up, "who's Agustin?" he said, handing my laptop. i looked and saw his name right there "Agustin Santos" my voice hitched. i looked up at Rudy, his nostrils flared, but it wasn't just that, the message was horrible, it read

hey, coming to the wedding, maybe you'l change your mind when you see me, xoxo

i looked up at Rudy, we went to my room, i ran after him, "wait Rudy I can explain please!" we were in my room now, he wrapped his bag over his head and on his shoulder, he turned to me, "what you lied to me? is that it?" he questioned. i was silent, biting my lip, fustrated and totally confused. he ran his hand through his hair and pulled at the ends, also as fustrated as I was, "did you have a boyfriend? Or is he still your boyfriend?- "

"No he's not, but." I paused, "he was." I stared down and looked up. I cuffed my hands around Rudy's face.

He pulled away, "fuck Ness, I thought we were being truthful to each other." He shook his head, "is there anything else?" I shook my head, "why would you keep this a secret?" He asked

"He was my dads best friends son." I sighed, "I ended it a long time ago, it's over Rudy I swear." I put my hands up defensively.

"Then why keep it a secret? I don't get it okay, this doesn't make sense? What are you not a virgin is that it?" He asked

My jaw dropped, "okay I lied about him for a good reason, he's a horrible person. But I would never lie about my virginity." I sighed, "I thought you knew me better than that."

He sighed. I walked up to him, wrapping my hands around his jaw line, "Rudy please, you have to trust me on this."

He looked at me with somber eyes, "I don't know Ness, none of this makes sense." He sighed looking at me, he wrapped his arms around me, "so How long ago did you both break up?" He questioned

I bit my lip nervously , "four years ago." He nodded, "did you really think I lied about my virginity?" I said putting my hands on my hips.

"Are you sure you forgot?" He asked. I have him the most dumbest look. We both laughed. He brought me into a hug and kissed my shoulders, "I'm sorry ness." He sighed
