She braided my hair while talking about how Rachel was driving her nuts, I watched my sister in the mirror, her face was flushed. She always was an open book, her face would give away any emotion she was feeling. I sighed, "Miranda, have you thought maybe you and Rachel just need a break?", I hesitated, "I mean..you guys have just been fighting a lot lately and you don't seem as... happy." She threw my half braided hair into my back and stood up, "Excuse me for not having the perfect relationship! We can't all live in fairytale land like you and Colin do. Someday he might break your fucking heart and then when you come crying to me, I won't feel bad because you can be so damn stuck up" she rattled, I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks. My sister was the hothead of the family. I had learned over time to take the hits she threw at me because in a matter of moments later she would be apologizing.

Three years ago Miranda came out to Mom & I. My mom was a bit shocked but I wasn't. I had a feeling for awhile she was gay. I love my sister I could care less who she loved but then last year she met Rachel and I don't like the change in Miranda. Rachel is very clingy and jealous. She keeps tabs on Miranda and constantly accuses her of doing things of which she isn't. I met her once and I just got a really bad vibe. "Mir this isn't about me...it is about you and Rachel. Don't take this out on me" I said quietly.I started at her hardened features, her green eyes blazing and her jaw clenched. She kept aggressively running fingers through her short dark brown hair. I hated having to walk on eggshells with her half the time. She glared at me, "I am done talking about this. I should've just said nothing" she huffed. I threw my hands in the air, "Ok fine, I am dropping it but just know I love you and you shouldn't have to sacrifice your happiness all the time" I quickly said turning before I could catch her reaction. I heard her sigh and I knew it was coming, "I know Annika, I just...I am sorry" and she gave me a hug from behind.

One Week Later

I sat on my living room floor with my school books spread out, I was irritated, hot, and tired. Best way to spend my birthday and a friday afternoon: Agressive Studying. My mom and sister both already called this morning to wish my happy birthday and wanted to get together on Wednesday for dinner, which I agreed to. I hadn't heard from Colin yet, which was odd because normally he was the first person to contact me. It was almost 3 o' clock and I hadn't heard a peep. Maybe the studying wasn't making me angry but more so that. I hate thinking irrationally. It could be a million things. Maybe he lost his phone or his car broke down or he forgot. But if he forgot I would be really offended because I never forgot his. Now I could feel my mind going into overdrive, "What if he got jumped by a gang or he fell down the stairs at his apartment or- And then I heard a knock at my door, I uncrossed my legs and got up, "Coming" I yelled.

When I swung the door opened, my boyfriend stood there with white& red roses in his hand. He bashful smiled, "Hey Babe, Happy Birthday." It seemed so cheesy but I loved it! Thanking him I took the flowers and smell them, "mhmm. Thank you" I said giggling. He kissed me a soft long kiss and whispered, "I have a surprised for you!" I gave him a quizically look to which he smiled and shook his head, "I am not saying... just get a bag of clothes together and a few of your belongings." I poked him in the chest "Are you going to kidnap me?" I teased him. He smile grew, "I just know you will willingly come with me so thankfully I can leave the duct tape and rope in my trunk."

A half an hour later I had all my stuff in my duffel bag. A couple of tank tops, shorts, underwear, and my beauty supplies. I wasn't sure how much he wanted me to bring so I stuffed it as much as it would fit. For once Colin wasn't complaining about how long it took me to get ready but the way he jumped off the couch when I walked into the livingroom was a clear sign he was anxious. "Man, you jumped about as high as a boy caught masterbating by his mother" I exclaimed while his cheeks went a little pink. "You are an ass but you are my ass" he joked opening the front door and motioning me out, "Our adventure awaits!"
