"Hey Y/n- Ew!"

I open my eyes up groggily. "Mm?"

"Off! Hands off! Back it up!" Steven yells.

I hear Jeremiah groan next to me.

"Yeah, I'm talking to you big guy! Back away from my sister!" He continues.

"Steven, get out!" I throw a pillow at him.

"No! Get away from each other!" He persists.

"But he's warm." I whine and snuggle closer to Jere.

"I don't care if he's a damn hot pocket in a blizzard, away!"

He walks over and rips the blanket off.

"Okay, my cue to go." Jeremiah stands up and walks out of the room.

"What is your problem?" I hiss at Steven.

"That is my best friend." He points at the door Jeremiah just left.

"And that is my sister." He points at me.

"And?" I say.

"And that is gross!"

"I'm gonna walk in on you and Shayla and do this shit." I aruge.

"There's a huge difference!" He defends.

"And what would that be?!"

"That- that, I'm allowed to!" He sputters.

"I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend now?!" I yell.

"That's not what I said!" He argues.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Don't make me get the together shirt!" We hear Mom yell from downstairs.

"Sorry, Mom!" We yell in unison.

"Anyways, I need the keys." He says.

"All of this because you needed keys?!" I whisper yell.

He puts his hands up defensively. "You never hung them up."

He wasn't wrong about that. But really? He had to make a whole scene?

I dig them out of my purse and throw them at Steven.

"Ow!" He yells. "Holy mother of- my eye!"

His hands rush to the right side of his face to cover his eye.

I turn to face him worriedly. 

"Fuck, you hit my eye!"

"Not on purpose!" I argue.

"Yes on purpose!" He whines.

"That's it!" We hear Mom yell again.

We look at one another in terror.

"Oh no." We mumble in unison.
