I can't believe what Anna did. She is such a blockhead sometimes, I just want to…I just want to murder her ass. I can't believe she ordered beer, did she even think of the consequences? Having a party without my permission, getting drunk, having so many people over, who knows what would happen. She was only 16, and I am 18. I wish my father was here to give advice. I wish my mother was here to take care of this. I wonder why the guardian angels that my mother always told me about never came down to comfort me, to help me. Why am I asking so many questions? I don't understand anything in this terrifying world.

"Elsie, what are you doing? Come in, you look like insane just standing there."

"What? Oh! Right, of course."

The thoughts I were thinking was insane too. This is the first time in years I thought of the past.

I stepped inside. To tell the truth, I have never seen the inside of Jack's home. It was small for me, but it was from me, the one who lived in a god damn mansion. It was cozy, I'll give him that. I looked around, there was a kitchenette with that mini refrigerator that I love. The kitchenette was connected to the living room. In there was a 2-seat couch, one 1-seat couch, a reclining sofa directly across from the 1-seat couch, a mini coffee table smack in the middle of the bunch of comfort, and finally a rather small sized flat-screen TV. Stairs led up to the second floor, I'll ask Jack if I could see upstairs later.

I felt a finger tap me a few times.

"So, Elsie…do you…do you like my…my place?"

I laughed. "Yeah, it's cozy in here. Why are you so nervous?"

He looked a little light-headed after I asked him that and he staggered a little when he finally plopped down on the couch. The one seat couch, so I couldn't possibly sit next to him. Well, at least he didn't sit on the recliner chair, I took that chance and claimed that seat. Ah, stretching my legs felt good.

"What movie do you want to watch?"

"Hey, you didn't answer my question!"

"Well, you're not answering my question!"

"GAH! I don't know! You choose!"

I saw a glint in his eyes, a familiar glint, he got what he wanted.

"Ok, I choose 'The Fault in Our Cars'."

Usually, I would've choked a little before rolling on the ground in my tears of laughter. But he forgot the title of the best movie ever, he was temporarily my mortal enemy.

I snarled, fixing my smooth blue eyes at his ice blue eyes.

"It's the 'Fault in Our Stars', idiot."

"Ok…ok…"

He held the DVD and opened the case. Observing the cover.

I kept that scowl on my face, the insult is unforgivable.

"You actually have that movie?"

"Yeah Elsie, I heard it was interesting."

"Knowing you, I would think you would rather watch basketball."

He hopped out of his seat and placed the DVD in the DVR.

"You would rather watch basketball, right?"

He suddenly turned his head toward me.

"Is Jackson signing up for our basketball team?"

Oh, Jackson. I nearly forgot that he signed up for basketball! I'm so happy!

"No-"

"Oh good, because that-"

"Jack. He already signed up, and he got accepted!"

"Oh. That just confirms that I'm leaving the basketball team."

"WHAT?! What the hell are you talking about? Have you finally become the lunatic I was afraid of?"

"Elsa, stop joking around."

"You're serious? Why?"

"Because-"

It's about time I curse my short-temper.

"IS IT BECAUSE YOU HATE YOUR BROTHER?! Why would you hate your brother? No don't even tell me why!"

"Calm down, Elsa. I don't hate him."

"Ok, then what?!"

"You know we shouldn't talk right now, because the movie is starting."

The next 2 hours were beautiful. I didn't even look at Jack the whole time, wasn't worth it. I looked at all the scenes with teary eyes, the love and pain mixed perfectly together like sugar and salt. Sugar was the sweet romance, one taste of it and you will fall in love. Salt was the pain, like a salt in the wound, the scenes rubbing it in your own past wounds. Damn that movie was good. The ending was sour, like a lemon. I think I've been spending too much time with Anna, who talks about food almost every moment of the day. Oh no, Anna.

Despite my worry for Anna, my hunger overruled me.

After wiping a few leftover tears, I asked the question which would probably give me a disappointing answer.

"So did you like the movie?"

"I don't know Elsa, it was ok, but it was confusing."

For once I actually agreed, kind of.

"WHAT HOW CAN YOU SAY IT'S ONLY OK!?"

"BECAUSE IT IS!"

I sighed. Whatever, not my problem he lost his brain.

"I'm a little bit hungry."

"Really? Ok, I'll just fix 3 sandwiches."

"Thanks. Wait 3?"

He blinked a few times.

"Yeah…I'm a big eater!"

"Guess that's kind of true. But didn't you already eat something in my house when you were more drunk than usual?"

"No…maybe…and hey!"

Out of nowhere, a loud crash shook the house, the sound of metal and plastic colliding.

"What was that?"

"God damn it."

Ooh, I wonder what or who is upstairs... Who might it be?
