Cigarettes, Sarcasm and the Complications of the Real World

"Fozzie! Fozzie! Harriet?!" I snap out of my deep sleep, very confused.

Somebody is shaking me awake, I check my clock, 3:06.

"Go away!" I complain, pulling the sheets over my head.

"Fine." I hear the unknown person chuckle.

My eyes widen, is that Tom?

I throw the covers off me and turn the lamp on.

"Tom!"I scream, hugging him tightly. "What? What?!" I squeal, smiling brightly.

"I injured myself so they sent me home." he frowns looking towards his plastered arm.

"That's great! This is great!" I shout.

"Sushh!" He says putting his finger on my lip.

"Sorry." I laugh. "How long are you here?"

"Until they tell me to come back I guess." he shurgs.

"I'm so happy!" I squeal, hugging him again. "Does mom know your here?"

"No, I thought I would surprise her with some breakfast in the morning." he smiles.

"And Jess?"

"Do you really think I would go see Jess before you Fozzie, your the original baby sister."

"Hey I'm only like three minuets younger than you Tom!"

"And don't you forget it!" He chuckles. "So how's high school?" he smiles cockily.

"Oh yea it's great." I say sarcastically. "How's blowing peoples heads off?" I snap back.

He rolls his eyes. "You know that's not what the military's about Fozzie."

"Umm hmm." I say looking down. "Let's not get into this argument again, it's a happy time." I laugh.

"Don't worry you'll have plenty of time to bit my head off soon." he chuckles.

"Yay!" I laugh.

"Okay I'm gonna wake up Jess." he smiles, kissing me on the head and leaving the room.

"Thanks for waking be by the way!" I complain, lying my head down.

"Your welcome."

"Dosh." I laugh.

"Bitch." he chuckles lightly closing the door.

I fall asleep smiling.

Tom is my twin. He looks similar to me, blonde, slim build, brown eyes. But of corse we are not identical. He dropped out of school in the spring last year to join the forces, which I really hated. But he is my brother and I love him, a lot.

He calls me Fozzie because I was ginger when I was younger and he takes the piss out of me. You know like Fozzie Bear from The Muppets.

"Tommmmyyy!" My moms screams from down stairs wake me up with a smile.

She's probably crying by now.

I stretch out of my bed, yawning like a man.

I slip on dark red tank top, a pair of black skinny jeans, some sneakers and a hoodie.

I apply a thin line of eyeliner to my brown eyes and some mascara.

I pulls a comb though my wavy blonde hair.

I clamber down the tall steps towards the smell of breakfast.

"I smell food!" He shout.

"Quick hide the pancakes!" My brother shouts pushing the plate  away.

I scowl at him grabbing a couple and chomping away.

I hear a sob come from my mom, I look at her blankly. "What's wrong?" I spit though a mouth full of sweet sweet pancake.

"It's just..." she lets out a large sob. "Seeing you to together again... my babys."

She walks towards us and brings us into a tight hug, me and Tom roll our eyes.

"Mom," I say trying to get away. "Mom I kinda gotta get to school."

She still doesn't let go.

"Mom?!"

"Oh yea right okay, have a nice day honey." she smiles, letting go and kissing me.

"Bye mom." I laugh grabbing my bag."Goodbye dear brother." I say in a really really bad British ascent.

He chuckles at my attempt. "Goodbye dear sister." he says mimicking me.

I sit back in my chair, the biggest smile on my face, and drive to Will's.

Before he can even sit down I can't contain my excitement.

"Guess who's home-" I start.

"I did something." he cuts me off guiltily.

"Okay you can tell me later but-"

"Well more I like I did someone..."

"Yes yes Will everybody knows your a slut but I have news-"

"Charlotte." he breaths, like he's let something go.

"What?!" I say staring at him blankly.

He looks down at the foot of my car.

"Charlotte?! How could you sleep with her? When?! When?!" I shout.

"Last night." he mumbles.

I see his door swing open and a very nervous looking Charlotte stumble out wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

I stare and Will, then back at Charlotte. "Get in the car!" I shout angrily at Charlotte.

We drive along the streets in almost silence.

"How could you?" I mutter. "Can't you freakin control your selves?!"

"Harry, it just sort of happend..." Charlotte try's to explain.

"Oh it sort of happend, yea I get it." I say sarcastically. "You two just happened to be hanging out, which you never do, and then I guess you just fell into each other and started bumping uglys because what else do you do in that situation?"

"Harry..." Will starts.

"So what are you dating now?" I falsely laugh.

"No..." they both say together.

"Ohhh. So you guys are just happy with being super awkward around each other from now on?"

"It won't be awkward." Charlotte mumbles.

"Yea, Harry it won't." Will adds.

I huff. I violently rev into school, park up and stomp out the car and slam the door.

"Wait up!" Charlotte shouts.

I turn around. "You know what? Why don't I leave you two bang buddy's alone!" I angrily shout turning around.

"Harry..." I hear Will shout.

I raise my middle finger behind me to them, tears welling up in my eyes.

I'm so so mad!
