It was forbidden. Not Romeo and Juliet forbidden, that was legal. No, I'm talking brother and sister forbidden. I, Alex Russo, am in love with my brother, Justin Russo. I need his hugs, I need his kisses, I need him. I can't live without him. Max knows, so does Harper. Our parents don't though, they would probably disown us if they found out. Max was great about it, he had walked in on us kissing in Justin's room, and after an awkward silence, then an equally awkward conversation, he accepted it, and helped us hide it from mom and dad. Harper was much more difficult. She has always had a massive crush on Justin, and she took it too far one day and kissed him in his room, right in front of me, to "Prove he has feelings" for her. When Justin pushed her off of him, she was shocked by what she had just done. I was furious, she had just kissed MY boyfriend, right in front of me. Fair enough, she didn't know, but that didn't make me any less furious. I slapped her. An action which I now regret. She is my best friend, after all.

"Alex! What the hell was that for?" She had yelled, clutching red her cheek.

"You kissed my boyfriend!" I had retorted. Realising my mistake, I quickly locked both of my hands over my mouth. Harper just stared blankly at me. I barely registered Justin putting his arm around my waist and pulling me to him.

"Sorry Harper, but I'm in love with Alex. We've been together for a few months now. Only Max knows." It wasn't the way I had planned on telling her I was dating her crush, who also happened to be my brother. But it happened. And after a few weeks of fights and tears, we made up and became friends again. We will probably never be as close as we were before this mess, but at least I didn't lose her completely.

"Do you think we'll ever be able to have a normal relationship? Not having to worry about being seen together all of the time?" I asked, lying on my bed, Justin's arms locked around my waist.

"I don't know, Alex. I really don't know."
