I wake up to the sun shining and feel Betty snuggling into my chest.

„Morning", I chuckle, stroking her hair.

She just shakes her head and hides it in the crook of my neck. What's up with her? She can't be tired anymore 'cause we got twelve hours of sleep last night and she's always the first one to get up, but today she isn't.

„Baby you okay?", I ask, seriously concerned about my best friend.

She shakes her head again.

„What's wrong?"

She sighs and puts her head out of the crook of my neck,"I'm meeting up with Sweets today", she mumbles.

I furrow my eyebrows,"And what's the problem with that? He's your boyfriend, y'all are supposed to meet up", I state.

„I'm breaking up with him today", she whispers with a sad voice.

„Oh baby", I say, pulling her against me, holding her head protectively.

I feel guilty. She's breaking up with him because of me and what I said and now she's scared. She doesn't act this way because she's sad about ending their relationship, but because she's scared of his reaction.

*later*

Betts and I are going down the stairs, our fingers intertwined, laughing because of what she said as we hear yelling coming from the kitchen.

When we come downstairs, we see Katie ( bettysbeanie just couldn't kill you off the story hehe) going out the door, pulling it shut behind her.

We furrow our eyebrows and walk into the kitchen.

„What was that about?", I ask mom and dad.

„She wants to go to Cheryl's party", mom tell us.

„So? Why won't you just let her go? You always let us", Betts questions.

„You two, are always together, don't drink and also know how to protect yourselves. Katie...well, she's the complete opposite", Dad states.

„Yeah, but she's still you kid, just like we are and with you not letting her go to that party she might think that you prefer us over her, just because she's adopted", Betty states and I nod.

„You're adopted too", Mom exclaims, looking at my best friend.

„Yeah, but with me it's different. You adopted me because you wanted a daughter, but her. You adopted her because her parents died and she had nowhere to go. She might think she's unwanted", Betty tells her.

„She's not unwanted at all, we love her just as much as we love you guys", Dad replies.

„Yeah, but she doesn't know that. So just let her go to that party", I try to convince them.

They sigh,"Fine."

„You guys are literally sibling goals, especially you two", Mom laughs.

I frown and see that Betts does too,"Don't ever say that again", we say in unison.

Dad looks at us with a questioning look,"What? That y'all are goals?", he chuckles.

„No, the word sibling. Don't you dare use that again!", I state.

„Come on, just admit it, you guys are incest", mom laughs.

„Yeah except the fact that we're not dating", I answer.

Betty's eyes widen,"Speaking of dating I gotta go, see you later."

„Where you going", Mom and dad ask her.

„Breaking up with Sweets", she tells them,"Anyways I gotta go, bye."

She then turns to me and pecks my lips, „Bye Juggie", she says and walks out the door.

„Bye baby."

I turn around and see mom and dad smirking.

„What?", I ask, sighing, but with a smirk.

„You love her", Mom smirk at me.

„And she loves you", Dad exclaims.

I furrow my eyeshadows (A/N I meant to say eyebrows, but autocorrect did great work, so I'll leave it like that),"And you just noticed that after 10 years?"I laugh at them.

„So why won't you do anything about it?"

„I did", I exclaim,"7 years ago"

They look at me with a questioning look, clearly not understanding anything.

I hold my hand up and point on it,"You think we're wearing them just for fun?"

Their eyes widen,"You're still wearing them?"

„Noo", I reply sarcastically,"I actually just pranked her for 7 years now."

„So that's why you're so calm about her dating SweetPea", Dad says, understanding everything now,"Because you know, no matter who she's dating, she'll end up with you", he smirks.

„Wow, that's smart", Mom says.

„We're the smartest people in town for a reason, you know", I tell them
