We haven't been able to really enjoy the start of spring break because Kerrys spent all of last night crying over Angel's outburst. I didn't even get the chance to see Kree last night because he was preoccupied with Angel. Seriously, what the fuck is his problem? I think there is something genuinely wrong with him.

Today is supposed to be the Twincation Beach BBQ, courtesy of Kayla and Kerrys. They do this every year. It use to be their parent's event but now that we've gotten older, we've banished adults and made it our own. However, Kerrys is so heartbroken, she doesn't want to go.

'...But it's your BBQ.' I remind Kerrys. 'You have to be there.'

'You can just take my place hosting.' She sniffles, blowing her noise into her tissue.

'But I'm not a twin. It's called Twincation for a reason. That's what makes it unique.' I reply.

'I just can't face Angel again. He was so rude and vulgar. Granted, I like him being vulgar and dirty in bed...' She gives a small reminiscent smile.

'Ugh, too much information.' Kayla groans.

'But that was out of bed. He had no respect for me last night. None!' Kerrys ends.

SLAP! Theia bitch slaps Kerrys. 'Get a grip. This is not the Kerrys we know, acting this way over a guy. I know you love him but he doesn't deserve any of your tears.'

'Oh.' She rubs her cheek. 'That really hurt.' She whispers.

'It was time for some tough love.' Theia says.

'I think I prefer eating Theia, not tough Theia.' Kerrys mumbles. 'But you're right, as always. I'll get it together. Fake it 'til you make it right?'

'Attagirl.' We all smile.

***

We're getting all the deckchairs and the fire pit ready when Kerrys comes up to me.

'Are you sure you're not mad that I didn't invite Kree? It's just if I'd invited Kree, then Angel would have turned up and I"m not ready to see him-'

'Kerrys?' She looks at me. 'Breathe.' She exhales at my request. 'It's fine, I get it. I can see Kree another time.' She smiles at my answer. 'Besides, I can live without him you know.' The girls snort. 'What? I can!'

'Then why have you not stopped checking your phone every five minutes?' Theia points to the phone in my hand.

'Uh, um, well, I was just checking the time?' I stutter.

'Phone.' Kayla puts her hand out. Before I can protest, she snatches it off me and locks it, making me huff. 'Today is girls day. No boys allowed. Well they're coming to the party but you know what I mean.'

'Does that rule apply to Theia too?' I point at her. 'You should tell her uninvite Luca then.'

'Oh he's not coming, I didn't invite him.' Theia slurps on her cocktail.

'Why not?' Kerrys asks.

'I don't know.' Theia shrugs.

'You do. It's because you feel it's getting too serious and you want to take a step back. You're such a self-saboteur.' I shake my head.

'Uh, not everyone wants to be all sweetness and light in a relationship like you and Kree thank you very much. I mean look at Kerrys and Angel: car crash.' Theia says, making us all gasps and Kerrys storm off.

'De verdad, Theia, de verdad?' Kayla glares at her, going after Kerrys. [Really Theia, really?]

'I didn't mean that.' Theia slaps her hand against her head.

I shake my head disapprovingly. 'Let's just prep all this food before everyone gets here.' I get back to the task at hand.

Kerrys and Kayla return back to where we are. 'Tu buena?'

'Si.' Kerrys grabs the tongs and starts helping me out with the BBQ.

'Ker, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.' Theia says, walking up towards her and hugging her from behind. 'As a peace offering, have my sausage.'

'Wow! You really are sorry aren't you?' Kayla smiles.

'You know she's sorry when she's willingly offering food.' We all laugh.

'I'm fine. I get it. Relationships are messy. But just don't deprive yourself of love because of what's happened to me, or anyone. Write your own love story.' Kerrys says.

'You're too romantic for your own good, you.' Theia gets back to making the punch.

'I can't help it.' We all wait for her to start crying again. 'But enough about that. Let's get this party started!'

***

The party is in full swing. The twins have invited literally everyone they know and the atmosphere is raging. Kayla gave me my phone a while ago, saying that I'd earned it for switching off for a few hours without thinking about Kree. As I go to grab another drink, my phone buzzes in my pocket and I take it out.

You love to defy me don't you?

I scrunch my face, not knowing what he's talking about but he continues.

You look too damn good to be out without me

You don't even know what I'm wearing.

Pretty in pink

Are you here?

Wherever you are, I am

Remember that

I'm swooning and my hand automatically goes up to play with the necklace he gave me. He always knows what to say.

Enjoy your night.

Be a good girl!

But what if I wanna be bad?😈

Bad girls get punished

Can't wait!

I put my phone away, knowing if I read his reply, I'll become even more flustered than I am. I head back to the girls, when I see Bel and Belize dancing in the crowd.

'Who invited the liquórs?' I nod towards them.

'Not me.' Kerrys shrugs.

'Oh God, I hope Bailey's not here.' Kayla groans.

When they see us staring at them, they smile and walk over. 'This party is okay, but we've been to better ones.' Bel squeaks.

'Oh look at them having an opinion. Isn't that so sweet girls?' Theia mocks, making us laugh.

'Yeah, well we've got better places to be. So yeah.' Belize replies.

'Off to meet your leader are you?' Kerrys sips her drinks.

'No. Bailey's with her older hot boyfriend actually.' Bel answers.

''Aww, your master lets you go out all alone? Do you need directions to thick town?' Theia asks them.

'Yeah, it's just across from brain-dead city.' Kayla adds on.

'Uh, jokes on you because we don't need directions, thanks.' Both of them smile to Bel's response. They've completely missed the point- never mind.

'What, Bailey has a boyfriend? God help him, poor guy.' Kayla says.

'You're just jealous because you ain't got one.' Bel says.

'Oooo burn, hehe.' They do some weird hand shake thing, like we're in fucking elementary school.

'Yeah, nobody invited use here, so just leave.' Theia says to them.

'Sage, you're so quiet. Cat got your tongue?' Belize turns her attention to me.

'I don't have a single thing to say to you.' I reply, walking off.

***

Theia drops me off home and then parks up into her driveway. Heading up my driveway, someone grabs me from behind, making me gasp. In the shock of the moment, I elbow the person trying to kidnap me.

'Ah fuck Sage!' Kree's deep voice pulls me out of my shock.

'Oh my God! I'm so sorry.' I try to hold my laugh in but fail. 'You scared the shit out of me, babe.'

'If I'd have known I would have been assaulted, I wouldn't have tried to surprise you.' He rubs on his abs.

'Aww, I'm sorry baby.' I coo him. 'Would you like me to kiss it better?'

'Yeah.' He feigns a pout. 'That would be nice.'

I grab his hand and pull him towards his open front door. 'Well we better make sure there isn't an audience, hadn't we?' I smirk.

'I think that would be best.' He pushes me against the door, once I'm in his house and starts placing kisses from my jaw to my neck. He pulls back, seemingly remembering what I'm wearing. 'Fuck Sage.' His eyes go dark. He moves his lips to my ear and utters darkly, 'I told you I was gonna punish you didn't I?'

'Mmmm... you gonna have to catch me first.' I catch him off guard by pushing him back and running up the stairs giggling, his heavy footsteps following. I run into his room, trying the close the door before he comes in but as always he's too fast me. He picks me up and throws me down onto his bed.

'Take it off.' His command has stunned me, so much that I freeze.

'Now!' Oh okay.

I take off both pieces of my swimwear and lay back, waiting for him to ravish my body.

'Are you ready for me?' He questions.

'Do your worst.' I whisper.

***

I'm walking around the shopping mall, stressing about what to buy Kree for his birthday.

'Honey, I'm sure whatever you get him, he'll like.' Mom says.

'It has to be perfect. He's turning eighteen mom. I can't just get him anything.' I run my fingers through my hair.

'I thought we could get some lunch?' Mom asks.

Is she serious? 'No time for lunch mother, no time for lunch.' I reply.

'Right, here's my card. You keep looking around for something. I'm off to see Shay and luna for lunch because I'm hungry.' She says.

'Yeah okay. Wait. If you're giving me your card, what are you going to use?' I ask.

'Your fathers.' She says, as she winks at me and walks away. Typical.

Walking past a jewellers, I do a double take. I walk up to the window, holding onto my necklace, which I've never taken off since Kree gave it to me and see the perfect gift.

***

I finish getting ready and head down the stairs to put my heels on.

'Oh darling, don't you look wonderful.' My mom starts to tear up.

'Calm, down mom, it's not my wedding day.' I roll my eyes at her dramatics.

'My baby is just all grown up. Kree is a lucky boy.' She puts her hand on my cheek.

'Damn right he is.' I hear my dad from behind me. 'You look beautiful honey.'

'Thanks dad.' I smile.

'Would you like a ride?' He asks.

'No thanks dad. I'm gonna walk over to Kree's now. He's driving us.' I reply.

'I can walk you to his door?' He counters.

'Dad! I think I'll be fine walking 30 seconds.' I giggle. I grab my bag and head to the door. 'Bye 'rents.' I call out.

'Bye. Have fun.' They both say

As I told my dad, it takes me thirty seconds to get to Kree's door. I knock on and wait for him to answer. He opens the door and my jaw drops.

'Holy shit!' Did I say that out loud?

'Holy shit to you too.' He replies, making me smile.

'Happy birthday.' I whisper out, still shock at the way he looks. My man is fine.

'Thank you. Shall we go?' I nod. He opens the passenger door for me to get in and then goes round to his side. Noticing he's still sat in the seat staring at me I ask, 'Are we not going?'

'Yeah, one sec.' He leans in, placing his lips on mine. He never fails to make me weak. 'Now we can go.' He breathes against my lips. Putting the car into drive, we head off to the restaurant.

***

'This restaurant looks amazing. I've never been here before.' I look around in awe. 'What's it called again? I didn't check the sign properly.' I was too busy ogling my man

'Pan De Ajo.' He replies in perfect Spanish.

'Sounds fancy. Hang on a minute. That means Garlic Bread.' Kree and I look at each before bursting out laughing.

'Oh yeah, you're right. Why didn't I realise that when I reserved the table?' Kree shakes his head smiling.

'Because you couldn't wait to see me.' I coo. He smiles at my cooing.

'Yeah, you're right.' He stares into my eyes. I swear his eyes are so enchanting.

'I bought you a gift.' I break off this intense stare and rummage through my bag.

'You didn't have to get me anything.' Kree says.

'I know, but I wanted too.' I place a small box on the table and slide it towards him. He looks at the box, then at me. 'Open it.'

He opens the box and in it is a leather bound bracelet, with the inscription K&S free as a bird on it. He stares down at the bracelet not saying anything. Maybe I went to far with the K&S inscription. 'If you don't like it, I can take it back. Actually, I can't take it back because it's been inscribed but I can find you another gift. I just thought you would like it-' He cuts me off by kissing me hard and passionately, making me slightly moan in his mouth.

'Thank you baby.' He slides it on his wrist.

'You're welcome.' I smile at him.

'You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.' He says out of the blue.

My heart races at what he just said and I look down at the menu to compose myself when I feel his eyes on me. 'We should order. What do you want to eat?' I ask.

'You!'

My cheeks flush. 'Maybe for desert.' I murmur, making his eyes go wide at my response.

Scanning through the menu, I notice something outrageous. 'They don't even sell garlic bread!' Rude. Kree chuckles at my outburst and his laugh makes me laugh.

***

We drive up our street and notice that that are a lot of cars parked up. 'Someone must be having a party, there are so many cars.' I say leaning forward to look further down the street.

As we get closer to our homes, we notice that the music and a ton of people are heading into the direction of Kree's house. 'What the fuck?' Kree exclaims, driving up and parking in my driveway. He rushes out of the car and pushes past the people still trying to get in, leaving me behind in the car not knowing what to do.

I start to get out the car when I hear the music come to a sudden stop. I walk over and into the house and at that moment some random guy comes tumbles down Kree's stairs. Clearly everyone is wasted as hell because it's like they didn't even notice the music stop. I carry on walking through the house looking for Kree. This party is mental there are even people doing lines on the living room table. I finally find Kree in the kitchen shouting at Angel, who might I add seems to be completely out of it, not listening to a word Kree is saying.

To be honest, Angel doesn't really seem himself. He kind of looks like someone drained the life out from his body. My God! The boy looks like he's dying. After standing there watching Kree trying to knock some sense into Angel, I realised it won't be possible with all these people here. So, I go on my phone and find that cop siren app the Theia randomly made me download one time. Thank God for Theia and her random thoughts.

I plug my phone in to the sound system. These people are so drunk, they won't notice that it's fake. I play the siren and shout, 'Every quick go the cops are coming.'

It literally took two minutes and everyone was gone, leaving just me, Kree and Angel. Kree drags Angel out of the kitchen and throws him onto the couch. Angel's eyes widen at the shock of being thrown. I look at Kree who look so angry and disappointed at the same time. Walking up to him, I place my hand on his shoulder, 'I'm gonna go and clean up in the kitchen, give you two some space to talk.' Kree just nods at me, showing that its okay for me to stick around.

'I'm sick and tired of your shit Angel. Who were all those fucking people?' I ask looking down at the shell of a body I call my brother.
