Hafsa gets up and flips open the blue red bin that fits perfectly under her bed.
"Look," she points at the heap of red-stained tissues.
"Period?" I ask, confused.
"Consist nose bleeds," she says nonchalantly. Her voice reflects hurt.
"Look this isn't your 'little secret' mi amor, this is bigger than that. If you don't tell anyone, you could potentially die. I don't want that,"
There's a knock at the door and me and Hafsa both look at each other with a questioned look.
"Who is it?" I sing, making Hafsa laugh.
"It's Yoan, the adults are having a boring conversation, as they do. Let me in please," he pleads on the other side of the door.
"Fine, let him in," Hafsa whispers curtly.
"Just don't tell him,"I unlock the door, to find Yoan standing in the hallway with our old nerf gun filled with water.
"Drink this, sister's!" before shooting both our faces with water, no warning.
We both look at Yoan, raged. We walk to him, slowly, with a book in our hands.
"Okay girls take it easy," he says before running into the hall and returning with Mama's Baymax head mug and Hafsa's muggles mug.
They were topped with cream and tiny marshmallows.
"Don't worry Hafsa, you can eat them. Had to look everywhere for ones without gelatine in. Anyway, I guess you could say it's an 'icebreaker," he chuckled nervously. Before sitting on our bed.
There's silence, then the occasional slurps.
"Girls, you know I'm here, like I'm your brother. You can tell me everything, and Hafsa. Don't run off please, you scared me. Promise me?" He smiles but she pulls him into a hug.
Hafsa starts to cry on his shoulder. He is oblivious as to why she's crying and rather thinks it's because he is being protective over her.
"After lots of pleading, I got Uncle Joel and Dad to take us to...," he does a drumroll effect on his thighs.
"ThorpePark! I've heard a lot about it, a lot of people in California, we're going tommorow," he squeals excitedly. He smiles at me, then kisses my cheek, noticing Hafsa's jealousy, he kisses her cheek too.
"By ladies, ps. I'm staying the night so you guys better be up by 6," but before we could protest he was gone.

We go through the normal check, Yoan squealing like a child, looking around the park jovially.
"Meet us at the dome at 2:00 do we can get lunch and then at 6:00 so we can leave. Have fun my loves," Mama kisses all of us including Yoan.
"Where we going first?" I ask, as we stand on the balcony staring at all the rides.
"Teacups," Hafsa suggests, sarcastically rolling her eyes.
"Come on, let's go on swarm! It's right there, the closest to us! Come!" He pulls me hand, his hand moist with sweat, showing he was excitedly nervous, as he drags me down the stairs.
"No you guys go, I'll stay here," She sits beside the fake half smashed aeroplane prop, the sound of the sirens so loud, giving us all a headache.
"Please Hafsa come, unless your a chicken," Yoan laughs following his words with Chicken impressions.
"I'm not a baby, or a chicken. My head kills like a bitch, that's it." She holds her hands to her head.
