Never leave

I OWN NOTHING!

"Sophie…" The voice pleads. "Please open the door."

"Why?" I sob back. I pull the pillow over my head.

"Please, Sophie." The voice pleads. I sit up and think about it for a moment. There some shuffling outside and a knock sounds.

"What?" My voice cracks. I wait for a moment but no one says anything.

"Sophie…" I hear and I freeze. "Please open up."

"I…"

"Please, Soph." I stand up and walk over to the door. I stand in front of the cherry wood door. I look back into the furbished bedroom, complete with a fireplace. Flames crackling were the only sound in the dark room; it was also the only light. I glance back to the bed where I had been crying. It was so tempting to just go lie down and cry my heart out, ignoring the voice at the door.

I turn back to the door and slide the lock. I open it and see my brother, Wales, standing there in his pajamas. He has dark blue pants but no shirt. His hair is a little messed up but it makes him look cute. His eyes are full of compassion.

"Sophie." He says softly. I barely see Julian and Klaus standing off to the side. I look down and notice my outfit; I didn't plan on Wales or anyone seeing me in this. I'm wearing a long white tee shirt, which I borrowed from Klaus, with black shorts underneath it. My long blue/white hair has been braided and pinned up on my head.

"Wales…." I barely get it out before… I bit my lip. I will not cry here. Wales doesn't say anything but comes in. He wraps his arms around me and just holds me.

"It's okay." He whispers in my ear. "You can cry." I shake my head a little and he kicks the door shut.

"I just…" I mutter a couple moments later. Sobs are getting harder to restrain.

"Sophie…it's alright!" He presses my head down a little and I can't hold it anymore. I start to cry hard against his shoulder.

"I…I don't…" I say in-between sobs. He strokes my head and makes comforting sounds. I numbly realize he's moved me over to the fireplace. He sits down with me and pulls a blanket over me.

"It's okay, Soph. It's okay. Shh…Sophie." He calmly says. Sobs shake me but I feel a tiredness rising.

…..

"Soph…" I say softly. I look down and see my beautiful sister asleep on my chest. I smile a little but lose it quickly when I think about what today is. Today…Dec. 21…the darkest day in our history. Memories race behind my eyes.

I only remember fragments while Sophie remembers it all. The parts I do remember flash quickly yet pass in slow motion. A sunny day at the park. A picnic with our parents. A fun car ride. The black van. Screams mixing with the sounds of bending metal. I shudder a little. I don't blame her for crying today. After all, it's the ten year anniversary of our parent's deaths.

"Sophie…you're getting a little heavier then you were…" I quote an old joke as I shift a little.

"Don't leave…" Sophie mutters.

"Never. Wouldn't even think of it, Soph." I stroke her hair and look at the crackling fire. "I'll never leave."

Thanks for reading. I wrote this really late at night while listening to rock music. Anyway, I hope you liked it. I don't do romance normally but I wanted to write a fic about these two. I looked it up on the Beyblade Wikipedia thing…and it said these two are twins. I thought that was cool. I like them better as sibs not a couple but that's my opinion.

Anyway, thanks for reading, Review please. TTYL.
