Kennedy:

Today was a Tuesday. I prefer Tuesdays more than Mondays like most people maybe because well it isnt the beginning of the week. I walked with an umbrella over my head as I walked in the rain. That was no surprise. It rained a lot here in Seattle. My boots hit the hard concreat floor, going against the puddles making them splash under my feet. Anyways you might be wondering why im walking in the rain on a gloomy Tuesday. (And if you didnt want to know, I dont give a shit because im still going to tell you.) Every Tuesdays, Wednsdays and Thursdays I worked at a cute little book store with a built in starbucks and a little section for music. It was the perfect place to work at.

I finally reached Bookaholic -the book store I worked at- and opened the door and walked in. Macklemore's otherside instrumental played soflty in the background. The place smelled heavily of Starbucks coffee. People searched the book shelves, ordering coffee and cookies or just in the music section of the little store. I smiled to myself and hummed to the beat of the song.

I reached the break room and tugged off my black leather jacket, putting it into the little locker I was given for my things. "Hello, Kennedy." My boss, Rebecca, said as she took a sip of her Starbucks coffee. "Hey, Becca." I smiled. Rebecca was a really nice, chill girl. She was only twenty eight. "How are you today?" I asked as I pinned on my name tag to my plain black shirt. Bec tossed her blond hair over her shoulder and sighed. "Tired. No actually worned out. This book store will be the death of me." She playfully said. But you could see it in her eyes. She was tired and worned out. Someone like Becca should be out having the time of their life, but no. She was stuck in this book store, doing her job. I gave her a small smile and then re did my hair, pulling my light brown hair into a ponytail.

"How are you doing, Kennedy? Any news on your sister?" Rebecca asked. I rolled my eyes at the metion of my sister. "She was in the magazine recently with her boyfriend. They were in D.C recently but apparently they were in a fight or something. I didnt get to call her yet but I plan to tonight. And appartently the fight wasnt pretty. They've been fighting this entire month too." I groaned in explaintion to Becca. She nodded before we both left the break room to help around the book store.

Let me explain something; I have a twin sister named Ashley, an younger sister named Isabel , an older brother named Zachery and a younger brother named Ross. We are a pretty big family but also a family that never sees each other, unless its Christmas, Thanksgiving or some ones funeral. Ross is seventeen and Isabel is sixteen. They both live with my father in California. Zach is twenty seven years old and he lives in Florida. Ashley and I are both eighteen years old. I attend a Uni here and god knows where Ashley is. Where ever her pop star boyfriend is I guess. My life is very boring compared to my sibblings. But the person who is really living the life in my family is Ashley.

I shook those thoughts away from my mind and sighed. I arragened some books and helped people out to find books."Hey Kendall." I gasped dropping the book in my hand and spun around to see Dylan. I met Dylan here a few years ago when I first started working here. Dylan has brown hair and green eyes. He was a custmor at first but now he's my bestfriend. "Sorry, Kendall." He lightly chuckled, bending to knee level to pick up the book I dropped. People called me Kendall sometimes instead of Kennedy.

"Its alright. So what are you looking for today?" I asked, placing the book back in its spot. "The perks of being a wallflower." Dylan smiled. "Great choice. One of my favourites. Come on."

A few hours later my shift was finally over. It was now only five o clock so I decided to get a coffee. Dylan was still here sitting at the Starbucks section reading his new copy of The perks of being a wallflower. I ordered myself a coffee and joined Dylan at a table. "How is it so far?" I asked taking a sip of my hot drink. "Great!" Dyl exclaimed, smiling. I poked one of his dimples and we both laughed. "Oh! I brought these.... I thought maybe you should see it." Dylan pulled out something from his small back pack. It looked like a magazine...?

Oh no. Here we go again. I read the head line of the magazine;

Uh oh. Is this trouble in paradise for Mr Bieber and Miss King?

The couple were recently seen arguing in Washington D.C. Rumor has it that the couple have been arguing for at least two months now! Will this be the end of Jashley? Or will things work out?

Justin hasn't mentioned if they were thinking of breaking it up. All he said was "We are just arguing a little. Many couples do."

We also asked Ashley recently and she said : "Its just been a tough time."

Will Justin and Ashley work things out? Or is this the end of Jashley?

Turn to page seven for more of the Jashley drama!

I groaned not wanting to read anymore. "Thats not all." Dylan said, handing me four more magazines. "Shit, man. How many fights are there?"

"Two months worth of them. Just look at them at home and call your sister. Maybe you could help?" Dylan suggested. "Ya I was thinking of calling her tonight. Thanks so much Dyl." I stood up and so did he and we hugged. "See you soon?"

"Sure. I'll call you, okay Kenn?"

"Alright."

"Wait! Let me drive you."

Dylan drives me back to my apartment in his black jeep. As soon as we arrived to my building, I jumped out of his car, waving him a good bye and then walked into the building and onto the elevator. I gripped onto the magazines in my hands. Oh my God Ashely, what have you gotten youself into? I asked myself, hoping somehow Ashley would get my telepathic twin mind message.

The elevator doors opened, letting me out and I was now on the twelfth floor. I walked to door 406 and unlocked the door, entering my cozy apartment.

"Home sweet, home." I murmered to myself. I made a cup of tea and changed into a my pyjamas and layed down on my bed with my tea on the night stand.

"Lets read some magazines." I said to myself, flipping over to the first magazine I started with.
