The Morning After

I feel miserable! I've had a period since I was 13. I'm fucking 19. And I've never felt this bad before! Wait! Rose and I have the same period thing!

I run to her room, which took me quite some time to find might I add, and walk in on her crying in the bed.

"Shark week sucks." I yell as I enter the room.

"Tell me about it! And it's heavy today too."

"Glad I'm not the only one. But at least you didn't leak on Seth's leg!"

"What?! Oh god twinny." Rose shakes her head and gets up. "I'm fucking starving." She gets up and walks to the door hunching her back.

I follow her to the kitchen and am shocked by what I see; a shirtless Seth cooking pancakes and bacon.

"Why the hell is he cooking?! He's gonna burn down the house!" I yell running over to him taking over the cooking.

"Bitch I'm not six." He snatched the whisk back from me and starts stirring the pancake mix again.

"Seth. Why in the hell are you cooking?"

"Okay. Short lie, or long truth?" He asks still focused on the pancakes.

"Long truth."

"You are on your period.. so I thought it'd be nice if I make you breakfast." He keeps cooking. Damn that's really sweet! No one has ever done that for me before..

"That wasn't really long.."

"Well my bad if talking about vagina blood isn't exactly easy to me." Seth says. I can just feel the eye roll from here.

"You guys argue like a married couple. Too bad you're siblings." Rose comments getting juice out of the fridge. I didn't know one word can hurt so fucking much. Sibling. Fuck that!

"Done!" Seth turns grinning and handing us our pancakes and bacon.

"How do we know you're not poisoning us?" Rose questions playfully.

"I would just tell you straight up." Seth says blankly. Is it weird I believe him-

"OoKaY." Rose calls before stuffing her mouth with bacon. That's my twinny for ya.

"Morning guys!" Bailey slips into the room. I haven't seen you since the party.. everything okay?"

Hell no! We've just been placed in a house of mafia people and I have a crush on my new foster brother!

"Everything's great!" We say together. I guess great twins think alike!

"Alright then. Why did you guys make pancakes?"

"Shark week." I answer quickly.

"Huh?"

"Bloody vagina week." Rose butts in.

"Huh...- OHHHHHH!.. so was it like a craving or-"

"Nope. Seth just made it for us." Rose says before stuffing her face with more bacon.

"SETH MADE THIS?! Where is the fire extinguisher?!" He asks playfully but seriously at the same time. We all start laughing except Seth who just rolls his eyes and smiles.

"I assume you guys know about the gang stuff now?"

"Yeah. But I still don't understand." I say. I really don't understand how it works. Murder=Money. Well that's what I make sense out of it!

"Okay.. well we import weapons and drugs. That's the illegal part of the business. The more you import, the more people you have, and the stronger your gang is. We have one of the most powerful which makes us commonly targeted. People target us, we kill them." Bailey explains.

"Do you have to kill them?" Rose asks innocently.

"Uh yeah unless you want to die first." Seth says rolling his eyes.

"No one asked you asshole. So how do you make money off of murder?" I chime in.

"If there are people who are stealing other weapons or targeting other allies we work with, they pay us to kill them." Bailey says blankly. I don't understand how everyone thinks this is fucking normal?!

"Cool." Me and Rose say at the same time. I think she's the only one who means it though. That shit kinda scares me!

"So, you will have to be prepared. We have to train you." Elsa walks in out of nowhere and joins the conversation. What a weird ass family.. they are nice though so I'm not complaining!

"We already know about guns and knives. Our mother taught us when we were young." Rose explains smiling.

"Well, we'll have it see how much you know."

———

Sooooo we ended up coming to a gun range. Wait no, going to the gun range room. Like, in their house! I'm kinda nervous, but more excited than anything! I miss the rush of knowing you hold the power of someone's life. Alright, that sound creepier than it is!

We walk in the room and both Rose and I immediately go for the pistol. It's simple and easy. The rest of the family decides to just watch for now because they want to "see what we've got."

The first thing we have to do is shoot at moving mannequins. This shouldn't be too hard!

Rose is up first. She walks into the room with her gun at her side, ready to shoot. The lights so off and is soon as they go on, things are moving! Rubber bullets are flying at her but she's dodging them effortlessly, and taking down the mannequins. She gets to the end and hits the red button that stops everything. I look to the Carmens and they all look shocked. Then they're in a for a show with me!

I step up ready for action, and Rose is excitedly clapping. I can put on a show damn well and she knows it! As soon as the lights go on I sprint to the first mannequin dodging all the billets, and rip his head off. They're rich, it'll be fine. I then pick up the body and use it to guard me until I get to the second one. I shoot the third one straight in the head, and hit the second one in the back of the head and shoot it. I throw the first mannequin at the back ones and run to the end. I do a front flip to pass the rest of the bullets, and hit the end button with my shoe.

Out of breath, I place my hands on my hips and turn back to the family. They are all speechless except or Rose who's clapping and jumping.

I exit the room and Rose tackles me with a hug.

"You did amazing twinny!!!" She squeals.

"Woah." Bailey manages to say. Our two parents.. parental guardians just stand there with there mouths wide open and Seth is now smirking.

"Close your mouths! You might get flies in there." I comment making everyone laugh.

"I guess you girls don't need as much training as we thought!" David comments.

"All you have to do is keep in shape. Now I'm going to bed, that was crazy!" Elsa says. Both her and David walk to their room. Bailey offers me a hand, which I gladly take, and stand up.

"So.. wanna workout?" Bailey asks smiling. We all laugh but agree it's be good.

We're about halfway through the workout. I'm exhausted. I just want to collapse! Who knew I was so out of shape?! Except me..

"Hey."

"Hey Seth!" I breath out.

"Haha you okay? Seem tired." He smirks.

"That's cause I am!"

"You know.." he quickly looks around the room, "you looked fucking hot doing that course." Seth says. I feel myself getting wet. Oh no! This isn't okay! He's your brother!

"I..Seth.. you're my brother."

"Ugh can everyone stop saying that?!" Seth growls.

"Bitch calm the fuck down!" I whisper-yell.

"Don't call me a bitch!"

"You act like one, I call you one!" Seth whisper-yells back.

"I don't understand you!" I accidentally say out loud. FUCK!

"What do you mean?" He looks like he actually cares. Do I tell him and risk everything?

No. Not yet.

"Nothing." I walk away and start working out again.

For dinner we decided to just eat pizza. We're currently in the living room eating and talking. It's Saturday so that means first day of school tomorrow. I'm dreading it!

"What is school like?" I ask.

"It's like hell." Seth answers.

"Look asshat that's not what I meant!"

"Hey! You guys are lucky the parents are sleeping! They would not approve of this language!" Rose sings. Such a goody goody.

"I mean, is it like a cliché high school? Goths, fuck boys, jocks, nerds..?"

"And fuck girls, choir, bad boys, and our table." Bailey responds.

"What's our table?"

"The rich/popular kids table!" Seth answers gleely. Both me and Rose look completely annoyed.

"What?!" Seth questions.

"We are gonna have even more attention on us since you're popular!" Rose whines.

"Give it two days, you'll be popular too." Bailey cuts in.

"We will be popular for being your sisters."

"And twins." Bailey smirks.

"Bitch just because we're twins-" Rose starts.

"You did NOT just calm me a bitch!" Bailey shoots back. And then they just keep arguing so me and Seth start talking.

"You know, you'd also be popular for being hot too."

"Seth!"

"What?! You want me to lie?!" Seth raises his eyebrows.

"Seth. I. Am-"

"I don't give a fuck you're my sister!" He yells. Rose and Bailey stop arguing and turn to us. My face goes red and Seth just sits there.

"Seth, what the hell?!"

"What's going on?" Bailey questions.

"Nothing." Me and Seth answer together both crossing our arms.

"I'm going to bed." I announce and storm off.

Why the hell would he do that?! Now Bailey is gonna be sus, his parents are probably gonna catch on, and we are going to have to live in a different home! If they don't kill us first for knowing about their jobs! This is crazy!! Absolutely insane! And here I am once again; dreading tomorrow.
