August 20th
Today is finally when my best friends come home from vacation. Jenna went to Italy and Briana went to the Bahamas. It's 12pm right now and both of the flights land at 3:30 so I am going to meet them for Starbucks.
I go take a nice warm shower and get dressed into a pink T-shirt and a light Walsh high wasted jean shorts with my white converse. I put little makeup on and put my hair half up half down ponytail. Starbucks is about 10 minutes from where I live so I usually walk but it's super hot outside so my older brother Michael is going to drive me.
I walk downstairs to get something small to eat since I haven't eaten all day. When i walk into the kitchen of course my mom isn't home. My mom is never home anymore. She's usually making herself busy by making herself do a lot of paperwork or "hanging out with friends" and just disappearing. Instead I'm greeted by my other older brothers Nick and Twin brother Liam.
"Hey bros" I say while walking to the fridge grabbing an apple with enthusiasm. "Hey sis" they say back to me with no emotion what so ever. "What's crawled up your asses today" I say back giggling to myself. "Nothing. Work stuff" Nick says. Nick is the oldest out of all of us and he works a lot as a gym coach and mechanic and he's always stressed out so I don't ask about it. My twin Liam doesn't answer and walks out of the house. He's my Twin so I can feel what he's feeling and it's all sadness. I walk outside to see him sitting on the grass thinking.
"Liam, what's wrong" I say softly
"Nothing I'm Fine" he says.
"I know your not fine I'm your twin remember? Why are you upset" I saw quietly
"..None of us really talk about it. About what happened." He says quietly not wanting to say it out loud.
"Oh" I say in shock. He's never opened up to me about it before.
"yeah... I just hate him. I hate the fact that he hurt you, I hate the fact how he was just able to go around and do that to you, and that he escaped jail and.." he says trailing off.
"..and you know what" "and I'm upset, I've been upset for all these years about why you didn't tell anyone." He says. I can see the sorrow in his eyes.
"Liam...I'm sorry" I say. "I truly am. I just didn't want to make matters worse and get you guys involved. I couldn't live with myself if I knew he hurt you guys" I say.
"I know. I know. I just love you so much Lidia. Your my twin, my little sister and if anything happened to you, I wouldn't know how to live. You need to be more open with all of us" he says.
"Ok first of all relax ur 2 hours older" I say giggling "and second of all, thank you. I love you too and I promise I will work on it" I say giving him a big hug.
"LIDIA LETS GO" my older brother Michael yells at me from his Audi 8 car. I didn't even realize it's time for me to meet my girls!!
