Right In Front Of You✔️

13. He needs to leave me alone

"Kai, can you please let me in?" Kevin asks on the other side of the door. I just woke up from the soft sounds my family makes every morning and now, Kevin is standing on the other side of my bedroom door. 

"Go away Kevin," I groan stuffing my face in the pillow. "No, Kai. I want you to talk to me," he screams back at me. I roll my eyes. I locked my room yesterday to prevent from this happening. I knew that Kevin would want to see me. He's my twin brother, but he's going to be all over me if I open that door. 

"Then talk to me through the damn door!" I scream at him. My voice is still a little hoarse. "No, just open the door!" Kevin screams back. 

"Kids, kids, what is going on?" My father's deep voice interrupts us. "Kai locked herself in," Kevin informs him in his whiny voice. 

"Kailee, why did you lock yourself in?" Dad asks in a soft voice. It's the voice he always used when I was upset when I was a kid. The voice he would use to calm me down and tell everything would be okay when he would leave for tour. 

"I don't want Kevin to see me like this!" I scream at him. "He needs to leave me alone." Tears are building up in my eyes. I feel so weak at this moment. "Kailee, please! I'm your twin brother. I would never judge," Kevin pleads through the door. 

"No! Kevin go away!" I scream back at him. "Please Kailee. What about food?" He asks me. "I'll get it when you're gone!" I scream at him. I don't want to shut my brother out, because I know how much it hurt me when he shut me out, but Kevin would also get hurt if he sees me like this. 

"Mendes twins, we have to get to school!" I hear Liv shout downstairs. Kevin sighs really loud, while I slowly walk over to the door, I rest my back against it sliding to the ground. Tears are streaming down my face by now. All I want is to open this door and hug Kevin. He would hug me back and tell me everything to be okay.  

Have I ever told you that Kevin gives the best hugs?

Anyway, he does. Kevin's hugs give you that feeling that everything will be alright. One hug of my brother and my whole day brightens. Somehow, Kevin has this weird effect over me. He's my twin brother. Maybe that's the reason. 

"Kevin, what's wrong? Where is Kailee?" Liv's voice becomes closer and closer. "In her room," Kevin answers with a small voice. Something in his voice tells me he's on the verge of crying. The way it cracks when he speaks makes even more tears stream down my face. I can't believe I'm hurting my twin brother this much. 

I'm such a bitch.

"Kailee, come out. We have to get to school," Liv knocks softly on my door. "Don't bother Liv. She's not going to school today," Kevin informs our cousin with a lot of bitterness in his voice. I can only imagine the confused look on Liv's, but I know it's present on her face. 

"She got beat up by some bullies yesterday and now mom and dad said she doesn't have to got to school," Kevin tells her. "She doesn't want to come out either," he adds.

"Oh," Liv says in full disappointment. "Bye Kai. See you later, hopefully." Liv knocks softly on the door before I hear both their footsteps leave. I let my head fall back against the door and sigh. I can't help, but feel that I just broke two hearts.

"Babe, are you okay?" Matt comes rushing into my room with a concerned look on his face. I'm barely able to hold back rolling of my eyes. All day I have been in my room just watching movies on Netflix.

Around half an hour after Liv and Kevin left for school, I went downstairs to get some food and I did not lock my door again. Matt gently lays down beside me.
