"I have to go now I've got more important things to do." Aiden suddenly said standing up and dusting off invisible dirt from his clothes.

"More important than talking to me," I said slyly feeling a smirk crawling up as I unintentionally stood up with him a little out of impulse really because it turns out that always happened when you had a visitor that was leaving it was only courtesy to walk them to the door.

And believe it or not, I had that.

He looked back at me and made a face just like he'd tasted something bitter and grunted out. "Don't flatter yourself." As he made his way to the door and turned the knob.

"It's kinda hard not to." He flipped me off.

"Wait..." I found myself involuntarily saying as my legs having a mind of their own made their way towards him. He turned around and had a sly look on his face which just made me roll my eyes.

"Why did you tell me all this." I couldn't help but wonder because out of all of them why him why not even Dallas surely he wasn't still scared I mean he made the bravest move by stopping me from defacing that bastard. I thought my eye darkening a bit.

Maybe it's because he's the one going through the most with Addison as his sister stupid. I thought. Shut up. I said replying myself. Or maybe he cares. I almost laughed at that logic.

"Mainly because of Addison," See. "She really likes you I mean she's been talking about you non-stop since she met you... don't ask me what she was saying I got bored and stopped listening most of the time.

"I'm happy for her she hasn't had a real friend for as long as I can remember they all just wanted to be her friends either to get our attention, improve their social status, or just for clout in general... so stupid." He said kicking at something on the ground.

I wanted to say that they both meant the same thing but decided to hold back my tongue and just let him have his little moment.

"She hated us for it and there was this one time in middle school when she actually didn't talk to us for weeks, that was when we were in about grade 6 or 7, I can't remember but we were about 10 or so. She didn't say anything to any of us, it seemed like she'd had enough of us. She completely disconnected from all of us, she would sit alone at the cafeteria she would have nothing to do with any of us in school, and sometimes when no one was watching at home she'd cry and mumble inaudible things sometimes it was like she was going crazy. I'm her twin brother you can't imagine how hard it was for me seeing my own twin like she was slowly losing her mind.

"One day I saw a piece of paper from her diary and... she wished... she wished she never had me as a brother." I gasped it was an involuntary act but I couldn't help it. I wasn't an emotional wimp but some things stung hard and that definitely did.

He stopped ran a hand through his hair turning away from me so I couldn't see his face so I couldn't quite tell if he was struggling with tears or anger but I think it was anger because when he faced me again his eyes were dark and emotionless as he shoved his hands deeper into his jeans pocket and avoided eye contact with me.

"That was about eight years ago. When she discovered I'd seen it she felt so guilty because I locked myself up in my room for the rest of the day and even refused to eat lunch and dinner our parents were a wreck they didn't know what was going on with either one of us. I mean at first, it was her then me all of a sudden. They were almost helpless."

He took a deep breath. "I stopped talking to her too."

"After three days she came to me and she apologized she said she didn't mean it and that she loved me and was grateful to have me as a brother and that she'd written it out of anger and the only reason why the page was ripped off was that she wanted to burn it because she'd calmed down and she'd realized it wasn't what she'd have really wanted.

"I forgave her... of course she was my sister and well after that I guess she grew up and she slowly started forgetting about other people and actually stopped minding about the fact that she didn't have other friends, she got so used to us as her friends that she forgot all about having other friends.

"But then you came along and... and she's changed she's been happier than usual she's basically been all over the house and I'm happy to see my sister that way, with you, and also maybe if you're around more often she can finally stop hitting me she's aggressive and violent but nothing compared to you so if we have one violent person, yourself then it'll overpower her... don't ask me how I came across that conclusion because I have no idea but it seemed logical enough so we're going to go with it." He chuckled a little and I smiled just a little smile that barely even showed.

"Also I'm tired of looking weak when she hits me because l there's really nothing I can do because well... this may come as a shock but I don't hit girls." He finished winking at me. "Especially not my twin sister."

Even though I knew he would never admit it I could tell that he really loved his sister when he spoke about her his eyes lit up like a little child and he never called her by her name always my twin sister this or my sister that he was so happy and he never failed to mention the fact that she was his sister he was so proud of her and I believe you saw what I mean he's basically name-dropped her more than twenty times since the beginning of this conversation.

"Also because Ian is being a major SOB." He said opening the door and stepping out and then pausing he turned around slowly like he'd just remembered something.

"Lastly he's never apologized to anyone, not any single person before so you might wanna go a little easy on him ok." He said thoughtfully.

He started to walk away again but paused and walked back up to me by the door. "Lastly... again," He said scratching the back of his head picking his words carefully looking around, and then saying. "I was never here and we never had this conversation."

I watched him eyeing him carefully watching him very closely before quirking my mouth to a mini smirk like I was actually considering it realizing that he seemed desperate my amusement clear when I said. "What conversation?"

He eyed me back very carefully and I'm guessing he saw my amusement before he grunted. "You don't really mean that."

When he realized I was serious and being completely honest. "You know..." He said giving me a playful punch before walking away. "You're pretty okay."

I just nodded as he started walking away well more like running away before I realized he had punched me and wanted to have his revenge but maybe that was all in my imagination.

"You too," I murmured under my breathe at his retreating figure and then punched myself right after.
