"SO, UR JUST GONNA ACT like you weren't just talking to a very attractive boy?"
A quiet gasp left from fear my mouth and my eyes darted towards the direction where the evil voice came from.
Margot stood there, leaning against the wall, giving me a sly smirk as I began to laugh. She sat on the fourth step of the staircase in the entry way. The girl was dressed in a long t-shirt and pajama shorts. Which confused me considering dinner had just finished or started. Tapping her right foot, she waited for my response.
"What are you talking about?" I commented sarcastically. My sister rolled her eyes at me, before standing up and grabbing onto the white handrail. "Hm, I don't know. Maybe you talking to the same boy two days in a row outside?"
Groaning, I thought to myself she knew about the occurrence that happened about 6 minutes ago, but not about the one in the stand yesterday.
"You knew about yesterday?" I questioned. I started untying my Converse, and then placed the pair in the corner beside the front door.
"I know a lot more than you think I do."
I scrunched up my nose, teasing her, and remarked, "Gross." Margot scoffed. "Not like that!"
"Teasing!"
I walked through the archway towards my left, which entered into the kitchen/dining room. The smell of warm food still lingered through the air. My mother has always cooked the best meals, along with her Mother In Law, aka my grandmother, who taught her everything she needed to know how to cook.
When my parents were young, around 17-18, they started going steady and quickly fell pregnant. Of course, it definitely wasn't in their agenda. But, my mother's parents decided to disown her, and left her pregnant self on the streets with no where to go.
Grandpa Jack and Grandma Lydia took her in with no hesitation. Feed her and her baby, made sure she went to all of her doctor's appointments, etc.
Sadly, her pregnancy soon ended with her miscarrying in the 10th week.
Even though the tragedy did occur in our family, my father's parents never once wanted her to leave or wanted to disown her as well. It's something I truly admired about each of them. Whoever it is, they truly care for people and open up their home to anyone in need.
"Finally!" My mother gushed. She stood at the kitchen island, taking off her floral blue oven mitt.
Along with my mother, Sawyer, and Evie, our youngest sister was also hanging out in the kitchen.
"Dude, Mom wouldn't let us eat until you got here." Sawyer groaned, making me laugh a bit. I sat down on a stool beside him at the bar. Evie sat in his lap, with him rolling his fingers around her curly honey brown hair. The toddler's eyes brighten up once they planted on me.
"Sorry." I grinned, holding my arms out for my sister to grab. She went into my arms, earning dagger eyes from Sawyer who was once holding her. "Robber."
Evie giggled. I laughed in return.
Mother spoke up once again saying, "Where were you? I thought you got off a while ago?"
Before I could even say a word, Margot came out of no where and interrupted me. "Talking to a boy."
A dramatic gasp left our mother's mouth. I groaned, knowing she was going to make a big deal out of nothing. Our mom always gets excited when any of us have a altercation with the opposite sex in any cert of way. We had no idea why, but it was funny to see her get worked up.
"It's not like that, I swear. And I had to close up."
I wasn't completely lying. I've known Louis for only two days, for all I know he could just be trying to get into my pants or trying to be friends.
The woman in front of us gave me a "Really?" face. Evie grabbed her luby that was on the marble counter top and held it up to her face. "I'm being honest, Mom. I swear."
"Bs."
Nudging Margot in the ribs, she groaned in pain. This girl is really trying to rat me out after all the mess I cover her for. She held her stomach with her right hand dramatically.
"Do you want me to tell mom about th-"
She cut me off mid sentence, "Mom, forget anything I said."
Before we could even blink she darted towards the front entry way and up the stairs. Evie's childish giggle echoed throughout the room.
Our mother rolled her eyes playfully. She walked towards the fridge and asked, "What do y'all want to drink?"
The thought of eating or drinking upset my stomach. You would think I would be hungry, but I am the complete opposite.
"I think I'll eat later, Mom." She continued looking through the double-door fridge. "That's fine, honey." She closed the opening with a jug of blue Kool-Aid in her hand. Then after, placing it on the counter beside her.
The silence soon broke after my phone vibrated, scaring Evie a bit. I snickered at her before reaching in my back pocket and grabbing my phone.

Louis.
I don't know why, but I got sorta excited on the inside. To be honest, I thought he would've forgotten to text me or was playing some joke on me.
Standing up and placing Evie on a bar-stool by herself, I headed my way into the foyer and upstairs. I passed Margot in the bathroom washing her face, and made my way into my bedroom. My led strip lights were already on, which confused me because I always turn them off before I leave. I have some odd fear of them burning my house down.
My comfortable bed looked too good not to lop down onto. So I did in fact. I curled up into my white bed sheets, my warm skin felt amazing against the cool fabric.
I unlocked my phone and went into the green IMessage app.
