"I live here remember?" Robbie asked removing his hands from his face.
The girl shrugged a sat beside him taking a really close look at him. "You do look like him." The girl said staring at him.
"Yeah, and you don't." Robbie harshly snapped back. He winced at his big mouth and blamed it on his monster.
"Well, I'm not really in question here. You are." Jade glared at him.
"Yeah, whatever Jade." Robbie mumbled standing and leaving the room.

Robbie tugged the yapping dog by its leash; the thing was sensing danger and wouldn't budge. The mutt had been yapping and barking for three hours straight and he couldn't handle it anymore, and had come up with a plan to end the horrible yapping forever. He was going to take the mutt on a walk down to the animal shelter and leave him there. Yeah, its mean but he could always blame it on his monster.
He had just made it out of the yard when Jade appeared returning from her morning jog. She glared at him his 'Yeah, whatever Jade' fresh on her mind. Her glare quickly faded to a look of suspicion when she noticed the yapping rat/dog by his feet. "What are you doing with that?"
Robbie avoided her gaze, "taking him for a walk…" He lied kicking the animal away from him.
A devious smirk appeared on Jade's. "They don't walk him and they told you that." The girl crossed her arms. "You're getting rid of him…"
Robbie opened his mouth to lie but he had never been the best liar. "Are you going to tell?" He asked instead.
Jade thought about it. "No actually I'm going to help you." She couldn't miss an opportunity to get rid of the annoying dog.

A few hours later Jade and Robbie were beside each other on the couch. Robbie looked guilty and suspicious while Jade looked as cool as a cucumber. Taylor and Anthony were currently running around the house looking for the missing Cupcake.
"Are you guys sure you didn't leave the back door open?" Anthony asked reentering the room.
"No!" Both teens answered in union, which made them seem suspicious.
Anthony frowned at both of them before turning to his daughter directly. "Jade…"
"Why are you blaming me?" Jade yelled before he could even get anything out.
"You hate Cupcake and last you came to visit you tried to drown him." The man announced simply.
"I've been with Jade all day." Robbie quickly interrupted hoping to defuse an argument. "I would have noticed if she had done anything to Cupcake." He hadn't lied yet.
Taylor entered the room looking distressed and ready to lose it. "I can't find him…"
"I can help you make flyers, on the computer. " Robbie offered. "Then Jade and I can go around putting them up." He ignored Jade's glare and focused on the nodding relieved looking Taylor.
"Thank you so much Robbie, you're a good kid." Taylor said and Jade glared hard at him.

Jade angrily stapled another flyer to another pole adding fifteen staples more than necessary. "Why am I doing this again?" Jade asked through gritted teeth.
"We have to at least make it look like we had nothing to do with Cupcake's disappearance." Robbie reminded. "Are you sure you don't smell anything burning?" Robbie asked again trying figure out why the only thing he could smell was something burning.
"I said no already." The girl snapped throwing the rest of her flyers into the trashcan. "I couldn't care less if they found out I had something to do with it."
"Well, that's your problem." Robbie mumbled under his breath.
"What's my problem?" Jade asked dangerously.
Robbie rubbed his temples his head pounding crazily. "You're mean and conceited." He was blaming his dangerous honesty on his tumor. He began walking away but was roughly pulled back by Jade.
Jade's eyes narrowed, "I am not."
Robbie looked at her his eyes wide. "Are you saying you're not mean and conceited?"
Jade thought about it for a while, yeah she's mean but conceited? No way. "I'm not conceited." The girl glared. "Are you saying that's why Beck and I broke up?"
He could only stare at her for a while. "What?" He asked confused. He hadn't even said anything close to that. "No, I didn't really say that, but yeah even a guy like Beck can only handle a certain amount." Yeah he was totally blaming this on his tumor. She looked shocked enough for he could get away.
Robbie lightly shrugged and began walking away but a few feet away he trips over his own feet and his vision becoming clouded with black dots. It wasn't long after that he fainted.

Jade quickly picked up her nail black nail polish from the table to pretend she hadn't been waiting on them to return from the hospital. When Robbie had fainted and she was unable to wake him up she had called her dad who had shown up in an impressive three minutes and loaded Robbie into the car. They wouldn't let her come and she had to rough it back to the house.
They two adults were whispering harshly to each other on the couch, when she finally gave up pretending to do something else. There was no Robbie in sight.
"What happened to Robbie?" Jade asked.
"Robbie?" Her dad asked like he had no idea who she was talking about.
"Yeah, the nerd with the fro your trying to say is my brother." Jade rolled her eyes.
"He's not a nerd…" Her dad scolded softly.
"He hit his head when he fainted and doctor wanted him to stay overnight for observation." Taylor interrupted.
"I don't remember asking you."
"Jade…" Her father scolded again. "Stop being mean." Her father said tiredly. He wasn't in the mood right now for her mess.
"Stop trying to change me." The girl shot back.
"Alright, you can do whatever you want." Her dad yelled. "I tired of trying with you, Jade." The man stood swiftly and left out of the room Taylor following close behind.
