The Arrangement

Chapter 11

Jason

I stare up t the ceiling of my room thinking about nothing in particular just how cruel life is sometimes.

"Hey bro what you doing" Mandy jumps onto my bed laying next to me.

"Just thinking"

"About"

"Nothing" I tell her and continue to look up not in the mood right now.

"Your lying , I'm your twin I know when something is wrong with you just tell me"

I contemplated on telling her what I really was thinking about but why bother trying she'll find out anyway.

"It's autumn"

"Xzavier's girlfriend, she seems nice and really pretty"

"She's gorgeous but I can't be with her M"

"Of course you can't she's with Xzavier"

"I don't think she even wants to be with him though , their so opposite and the first day I met her I could tell she didn't like him" I tell my sister truthfully , I know she isn't going to judge me seeing as we tell each other everything even the most embarrassing of things.

"Didn't you see how jealous she was when she saw me with Xzavier that day. I think she likes him if not loves him"

"SHE DOESNT LOVE HIM!" I shout now sitting up into my bed.

I can't get autumn out of my mind it was love at first sight. And I don't believe in that but I know how I feel and I can't help it.

"Calm down J , Look we'll figure this out all you have to do is try and fight the urge to make a move on her. Xzavier would never betray you like that and I'm not going to let you do that to him"

"She's amazing M, I swear when I'm with her I feel this weird feeling in my stomach that makes me squirm"

"Butterflies? Awe my brother has butterflies. I've always wanted you to have someone who you cared about this much but now she doesn't belong to you J , We'll find you another girl you can feel that same way about" she says , I sigh and fall back onto my bed thinking about a certain beauty that just can't leave my mind.

Autumn.

Autumn.

Autumn.

Autumn

Once I wake up I quickly run into my parents room to find my mom.

She lays in bed still Asleep holding onto her belly. I walk silently around the bed getting into my dads side of the bed and placing my hand onto her belly.

Jacob immediately kicks non stop at my hand , I smile feeling this is quite weird but I now have someone to take care of.

"Autumn you've woken your brother up."

"I'm sorry mom but I could not help it , he's kicking"

"That means he likes you"

"How do you know that?"

"He's in my body I know"

I roll my eyes playfully at my mom but get up from bed. She sits up and I quickly make my way to her side.

"Mom I'll make breakfast for you and I'll call one of your friends to help you while I'm at school but when I get home your stuck with me"

"Honey I can do it"

"No mom little Jacob needs rest and you do to I'm going to take care of you"

She smiles and kisses my head with tears in her eyes. I didn't mean to upset her , shit now how do I fix this.
