It's been two weeks since we left the hospital and Sin's been acting very strange.
She's been distant and withdrawn, only coming out her room to eat and then immediately returning.
At first I thought she was just mad at me for allowing her to get hurt but I soon realised that she was behaving this way with everyone. Before she left the hospital she was pretty civil with all her brothers and was even hanging out with Nico and Seb regularly but now she's completely had a change of heart apparently.
I can't help but take offence to her sudden disinterest in me. I don't know if it was because it was my first time but when we had sex I felt some sort of strong connection to her, like our souls were tied.
It hurts to think that she felt absolutely nothing because ever since that night my feelings have been growing stronger. I know liking her makes everything complicated but I truly can't help it, I'm just drawn to her.
All her brothers have been clearly worrying about her sudden isolation from the family, Romeo especially. So he invited her to come hang out with us while we play ball and maybe head out to the beach. Of course she politely refused but Romeo made all of his brothers pester her into going, to which she eventually caved in.
We all stand in the foyer waiting for her patiently. "She's probably not coming," Seb yawns.
"Speak of the devil," Nico chuckles, looking at the top of the stairs.
She carefully walks down the marble stairs, her long hair tied into a messy ponytail with loose baby hairs peaking out.
She's wearing black baggy jeans paired with a tiny lilac corset. Gold jewellery adorns almost every part of her body, perfectly complimenting her tan skin.
"You ready?" Romeo exclaims, clapping his hands together. She nods as we all turn to walk towards the garage.
Romeo drives with Matias in the passenger seat as me, Sin, Nico and Seb are all squashed in the back. "So what we thinkin, beach first?" Nico asks.
"Yeah can we stop by burger king I want some fries," Sin asks, those being the most words I've heard out of her for the past few weeks.
"Bitch I just watched you take a four course meal up to your room not even an hour ago," Nico laughs, which earns a swift elbow to the ribs from Sin.
Sin smiles as she looks down at the catastrophic meal she ordered, which is probably big enough to feed an entire family for a couple days.
Nobody makes fun of her though, we're all just happy to see her happy and actually eating something for once. She seems to be in a better mood than she has been recently, I think being out in the sun is doing her some good.
"Let's finish this at the beach," She says, her mouth filled with fries. I laugh at her stupid cute face as Romeo pulls out the burger king car park and heads towards the beach.
