Uncertain

21-Laughing and crying

"I bought you a tub of strawberry ice cream."

"I am still not forgiving." I said to Aiden, without even moving my gaze towards him.

I was spending my first day of June in our living room, the glass sliding doors open to get some nice fresh air to the room. I was reading a book, which was by the way really hooking.

"Dude." Aiden threw his hands in the air. "Last week I bought you new Converses, the week before I bought you a nice hoodie, the week before I bought you a candy jar and the week before I bought you a nice necklace. I am really trying in here Lil."

It had been a month since the whole party fiasco happened.

Hazel was fine, she had gotten out of the hospital, but I just hadn't talked a single word to her, and I wasn't going to do that for a while. Aiden and Edwin graduated, which was weird, because I couldn't even remember the last time they had even been at school.

I was doing great. I had gotten a new dose of cytostatics and even though it was pretty exhausting, I was doing now much better than before. Best of all, I was starting to feel hopeful. I was starting to feel like I had a chance to survive, to someday graduate like my two idiotic brothers did.

"Don't you realize that she has already forgiven you." Anthony laughed as he stepped to the living room too. "She's just taking the advantage of getting all those things you are buying for her."

"Oh really?" Aiden furrowed his eyebrows. "Is that so?"

I still didn't raise my head up from the book.
"No, I am very mad at you."

"You little shit." Aiden gasped. "You've got to be kidding me. I've been buying you all these things, feeling horrible."

"Well, now you learned not to kiss my friend, didn't you?"

"Well, duhh..." He threw his hands in the air. "I've literally spent half of my fortune to you."

"Good." I nodded, still not raising even an eye to him. "Besides you being my servant for a month was actually kind of funny."

"Not funny at all." He gave me a look. "So, you are not mad anymore?"

I kept reading the book.
"Uhu."

Aiden ripped the book out of my hands.

"Hey!" I snapped. "Give it back."

"You've been reading twenty four seven for the past month." He commented. "I think you need a little break before your head explodes with words."

He was right. I had been reading every second of the days, whenever I wasn't sleeping, because I had one day explored through the library in the Miller household, and found some books that I definitely wanted to read. It obviously led to an addiction of me reading book after book after book, because honestly, I was just bored.

I don't even know what made me so addicted. Maybe it was just the chance to get away from the real world to somewhere where the world seemed perfect and happy place to live.

"Aiden, I've tried that like ten times and every single time I've been kicked in my stomach..." Weston walked to the room. "So, honestly I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"Thank you." I nodded to Weston, who moved to kiss my forehead, before he sat down next to me pulling my legs on his lap.

"You only got kicked in your stomach?" Anthony questioned, still standing next to the doorway, his back leaning against the wall. "She kicked my head, and I like got a concussion and almost died."

"It's the favorite brother privilege." Weston chuckled, his other hand stroking the back of my head.

"I wasn't even kicked anywhere." Aiden still held my book. "Does that make me her new favorite brother?"
