"Well we do have similar eyes... other than that I don't know how else we could look alike" I say, Anthony and I are trying to figure out how he could remind someone of me... And yeah, I know, you probably think it's absurd, but it's not the first time we've been told, and we're starting to believe it....

"My mom used to I have my dad's eyes.... But my dad has like dark brown eyes and a completely different shape, which I found strange since she also has brown eyes.... holy shit" he says, "yeah my mom also used to say I had my dad's eyes.... wait holy shit" I say as I tried to digest what he had said. We look at each other.... "What if...?" We both started to say, "Nah that's ridiculous" He continued.... "But is it though?" I add, "I mean, mags, what are the odds?! That's impossible.... it must just be a misunderstanding" he says putting away his sandwich wrap into his pocket. 

"Well, we have nothing to loose, what if we just look into it?" I ask, "Mags! Your parents are dead!   It doesn't matter anymore, but something like that could ruin my family!" He snapped, coming from him those words hurt like a bitch, or like being stabbed in the stomach if you will, "You know what Anthony....  Fuck you! I thought I could rely on you, I looked up to you for fuck's sake... But it doesn't matter, thank you for the friendly reminder!" I say storming off as I felt tears forming. Was that selfish? I think it was.... was it?! But I didn't do shit! 

"Mags wait..." he says walking up behind me, "No Anthony, you're right, what does it matter that I may have a long lost brother, my family is dead, and you're also right, it could ruin yours, I'm just a selfish bitch anyway!... I've always been...." I say turning around then walking away again. Tears now streaming down my face. I walk in the house slamming the door behind me, I know a bit dramatic, and run into the secret room now hysterically crying. I grab my knees and bring them up to my chest rocking back and forward. 

I think I'd expect words like those from Jaden before Anthony... 

"Hey hey hey... what's up? What's wrong?" Kio says coming up and hugging me. I catch my breath, " I'm f-fine... sorry, a- am I being l-loud? I should g-go home, sorry" I say picking myself up. "Mags... what's wrong?" He continues, "It's nothing really big, but it was a bit of a dick move and it came from someone I didn't expect, so that's what hurt most" I say getting my hair out of my face and trying not to cry anymore. "Well, what happened?" He asks, "Well, I was walking with Anthony and so he told me that when he met mason, Mason told him that Ant reminded him of me, and it's weird because I got told multiple times that I look like Anthony and stuff like that, so we got into it, but then I told him we should look into it. Then he lashed out at me and said that it didn't matter because my parents were dead but if our theory was right it could ruin his family, and he's right but the way he said it hurt and even kind of scared me if I'm being honest." I say in one breath.

 "that is a dick move..." Kio says, I agree, " but I mean I get it, he has a family and they're happy, and I don't want to ruin that for him, and it totally wouldn't crush me the fact that my dad had an affair, resulting in a kid, then had me like nothing happened, then take on drugs and basically abandon us, then come back, more fucked then ever, then us having to pay for his rehab, no not at all, I'm so sorry, I don't know why I said that. I don't want to bring you into this, I'm so sorry. I- Umm..." I rant, "hey, it's okay, don't worry..." he says, "I'm gonna go take a shower or bath, but thank you for being there for me" I say, "I didn't do anything, but it's okay, you're basically my little sister so it's kind of my  job" he chuckles, I hug him, "well... thank you" I say.

I walk upstairs like nothing happened and open the bedroom door, "Hey Jaden, and Quinton and Griffin and Bryce" I said as I noticed more people in the room..... "hey you good? We're you crying?" Jaden asks, "I'm fine don't worry, I'm gonna take a bath..." I say smiling at all of them then walking in the bathroom, then back out as I realized I didn't have clothes. I take a qsit in the bath for about half an hour then get dressed. I sit on the bathroom sink counter and and take a deep breath and look into the mirror.... "damm, I still look like a mess" I say slightly laughing at myself. 

I walk out of the bathroom and everyone was gone except for Jaden, "Anthony told me what happened" he says, he says with a straight face, "I can't believe you Mags." He says, huh? "You can't believe what?" I say, "why would you try to kiss Anthony?! What is wrong with you?" He says, "what do you mean?! I didn't do shit" I say trying to defend myself, "I don't know what to believe anymore Magnolia, I'm fucking tired of your shit..." he says, "Are you fucking serious right now?! You'd believe him over me?!" I ask, "Well... I know about you and Chase and Tayler, what do you expect me to believe now?" He adds, I feel myself start to cry again.

"Mags... mags wake up!" I hear Jaden say, I slowly open my eyes, "what happened?" I ask, "you little dummy had me scared as fuck, you fell asleep in the bathtub" he says, "oh right" I say sitting up still a bit shaken about what apparently was a dream. "Yeah, Kio told me what happened so I decided to check on you, and when I opened the door you were legit underwater, oh and what Anthony did was a dick move by the way" he says, "yeah I know..." I say looking at him in the eyes. "I don't know what I would do without you right now" I say. "To be honest I don't know either" he says chuckling, "you asshole" I say chuckling as well until he connected our lips.
