Taylor Caniff

"Can you explain this to me one more time?" I ask, extremely confused by the fact that I have a little sister I somehow know nothing about.

Sighing, my mom explains it all again, "Your dad and I got separated for a little while after we had you, then we got back together and had Kennedy. So when we got divorced your dad took her and I took you."

"But when she was 14 your father got remarried he didn't want Kennedy around so I took her in and we were going to tell you last year, but you became part of Magcon and we didn't know how to tell you when you were on the other side of the country," Tyler finishes explaining as he wraps an arm around my mom.

Walking out of the kitchen I find Kennedy on the couch with her headphones in as she watches some YouTube video.

"Hey," I say as she takes her headphones out and looks at me.

"Oh, hi," she says quietly looking down at her feet.

"What are you watching?" I ask awkwardly.

"Just one of my videos I've made," she mumbles blushing a light pink.

Surprised I reply, "Really? Can I see?"

Kennedy Caniff

Frick, he wants to see my video, what do I say? I haven’t even shown Tyler that video, so how am I supposed to show it to my internet famous brother!? Taking a deep breath I unlock my phone and hand it to him.

Not daring to look at him I pick at my old band t-shirt. My mind is a mess, as I try to guess what he’s thinking right now. What if he’s disgusted or he’s freaked out by it? What if he ignores me forever and acts like I don’t exist? What if he laughs in my face?

All my panicked thoughts are interrupted when Taylor hands me back my phone with an unreadable expression on his face. Slowly the unreadable expression morphs into one that looks as if it questions if I’m human.

Great, he thinks I’m a freak and now he’s gonna run off and laugh and tell his friends he has a talent less sister. Wait, he probably won’t even tell them that I exist so he won’t have to be embarrassed by me. Just as I’m about to run off, Taylor interrupts my thoughts again.

“How is it even possible that you can sing like that?” he asks in disbelief. “Seriously, it’s like you’re hearing a fucking angel sing!”

“Thanks, I guess,” I reply shakily as I feel my face heat up again.

Animatedly Taylor rambles on, “You can sing and I can rap, so we could perform together and you could join Magcon and meet everyone and you could make a song with Dillon and me and then we could like go on tou-”

“Jeez Tay take a breath,” I interrupt giggling at him and his crazy ideas.

“Sorry it’s just kinda exciting knowing that I’m not an only child, you know?”

“Yeah it’s also kinda exciting knowing that my hotshot brother knows I exist,” I reply in a teasing tone.

“Hey hey, that’s not my fault!” he laughs as he flops down on the couch next to me.

“Of course it’s not, ‘cause you’re a Caniff and we’re so undeniably talented and sexy, so it’s obviously not your fault,” I say sarcastically.

Shaking his head Taylor gets up quickly and comes back with a huge bowl of puppy chow and two bottles of water before turning  the TV on to Ridiculousness before facing me again.

“I can’t stand silence and you seemed hungry,” he tells me with a smile, tossing me a water and passing the bowl.

“Thanks bruh,” I say with a head nod and laugh.

Rolling his eyes Taylor just laughs.

So for what seems like hours we talk and laugh, trying to make up for all the years we missed out on. Most of the things we say are completely random or just absolutely crazy and unimportant, but it feels right. Just knowing I know had someone to turn to feels natural, it feels like a missing gap in my life had just been filled and everything was perfect, almost too perfect. I finally felt like I wasn’t alone, like I wasn’t just that weird, friendless, home schooled girl who looked out of place no matter where she went. I was finally part of something, I was finally loved and appreciated and all of that put the biggest, most genuine smile that I’ve ever worn across my face.
