"I thought you weren't dating him" Calum says calmly looking off into the distance.
"I'm not!" I defend, frankly getting frustrated.
"Then why the fuck did he kiss you?" He says throwing his hands up walking closer to me, backing me up against the couch edge.
"Why the fuck did you kiss me then? We aren't dating?" I throw my hands up mocking him.

He lunges forward, causing me to lay flat on my back on the couch with him pinning me under him swiftly. We both stop for a moment taking in the intimate position.
"Yes, I kissed you. Because you're mine. We aren't dating, but you're mine. You can't go and kiss anyone else."
"Calum, he kissed me. And you kissed me. I haven't kissed anyone!" I fight back, trying to think straight and not let him know how much this intimate position is making it impossible to think.

"Whatever" he mumbles getting up and turns to go upstairs.
I slowly sit up wondering what the fuck just happened. After the day I just had this certainly is the last thing I need.
I slouch and sigh looking at the stairs.
"So that's what's up with him. A girl. Didn't even think about that" Micheal says behind me.
I turn around and see him leaning in the kitchen door frame.

"Don't worry Lillian, he just gets jealous." Micheal comforts walking toward me.
"I see that." I roll my eyes
"Ready Lillian?" Ashton asks coming down stairs.
"Yeah let me go put some heals on."

I slam my bedroom door shut and Crystal looks to me.
"You'll never believe what just fucking happened."
I come in and I tell her all about the weird conversation with Benjamin and then Calum and then Micheal.
"No fucking way. Lillian, Calum really likes you."
"Aghh" I say and lay on my bed.

Eventually we all get into the SUV because it's the only one that will hold all six of us. This time Calum drives and Ashton sits passenger.
Luke sits in the middle row with me, and Micheal and Crystal sit in the back.

"Remember the rules Lillian?" Ashton asks turning in his seat to look at me.
I sigh. "Don't go off with a guy, don't leave for the bathroom alone, give snapchat but never my number..." i trial off.
"And the biggest one?" Luke asks.
"Only take drinks that you guys give me."
"Good." Ashton mumbles.
I roll my eyes.

"And if you want us to get you away from a dude, look at us and nod" Micheal says from the back.
"Guys..."

I notice Calum being silent the whole way.

We get to the club and stand in line. Finally we get in and music blares and the smell of sex weed and alcohol fills the room.
"Do you want something to drink?"
Luke leans over and asks me.
I nod.
"What do you want?"
"I want to forget today happened" I respond, he nods and leaves.
It's not long before I feel arms go around my waist and start dancing with a guy.

I see Calum staring.
The guy goes to grab my neck and tried to forcefully kiss me, we briefly make out before he goes back off in the crowed.
"He was cute!" Crystal says in my ear.
I shrug. Micheal and Crystal start dancing together snd Ashton finds a girl to dance with. Suddenly I feel arms come around me, but more gentle and warm ones.

I turn to see Calum. I smile.
I start to grind and he kisses behind my ear.
"I'm starting to think you like me jealous" he says in my ear tightening his grip.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I say and he kisses under my ear again.
"I told you that you were mine, didn't I?"
I hummed. "Yeah, what about it?"
He growls.
"Did you like how he danced with you?" Calum suddenly asks bringing my hips back into his.
I shake my head "no, I like dancing with you better"
"Prove it." He says digging his hands in my thighs. He takes one of his large hands and moves it to my chin, tilting it upwards. He stares at my mouth in hunger for only a moment before devouring me. The kiss started with hunger and evolved. It was a self consuming kiss, one that made you forget all of your surroundings.
Before I realize it we're making out.

"No fucking way." I hear and look up at Luke watching us, holding my drink.
I quickly step forward off of Calum.
"Here's your drink" Luke mumbles and walks off. I stand frozen. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK.

"I'll go after him" Micheal says when I don't react.
"No, I got it" I say grabbing Michael's wrist, snapping out of it.
"But-"
I go off into the crowed before Micheal says "buT YoUlL GeT LoSt"

I go into the hot and sweaty crowd and I can see the top of Luke's head a few people in front of me and I try to push harder.
Finally we get outside in front of stairs which is less crowed and less loud.

"Luke!" I call out.
He doesn't turn around but he does stop.
"Luke I-"
"It's too much Lillian!" He says grabbing his hair.
"It's all too much. I can't find out that I have a sister and that she's making out with my best friend in the same day! I just can't!" He says raising his voice over the music.

"Luke I don't even like him like that! He came up from behind me and we were just having fun!"
"You can have fun but don't have 'fun' with my best friend!" He says throwing his hands up.

"Since when do you get a say in who I can have fun with!?"
"Since I'm looking out for you and since I'm your brother!"
I just stand still.
"Lillian I-"
"I thought we were going to act like it didn't happen for now?!"
I ask frustrated.

"We were but I just can't Lillian! I can't act like it isn't a thing! I spent my entire life with survivor's guilt. Why did my sister have to die but I got to live. Now I find out she didn't even die and she's right in front of me and I don't want to hold back, okay?! I want to hug my sister and make up for all the fucking years I had ripped from me." He says and a tear starts to come down his face.

"I'm just not ready Luke! I had a twin! And then he was ripped from me and I'm still not over that and then this is thrown at me?! My whole life is a lie! You found out your sibling wasn't who you thought. I found out my sibling, father, and mother is a lie!"

He runs a hand through his hair. "I know. I'm sorry. Shit, I'm sorry. It's a lot." He says and I nod.
"I'm sorry too. But right now we are the only people who will somewhat understand each other."
He nods and another tear falls down off his face. I go forward and hug him.
He quickly wraps his arms around me and hugs back tighter.
