Phoebe POV

Saturday morning

Part One

I opened my eyes to the beginning of yet another day. It was Saturday morning and I love the feeling when I wake up feeling so relaxed and ready for the day, the feeling when reality slowly comes back to you, for that few seconds it's just you. No reality, no dreams, just somewhere in between where you are completely happy. I smiled as I yawned because I knew that this would be a good day.

I walked to my window opening up the curtains revealing green trees. The birds were chirping and a cold relaxing breeze went through me knowing that this is a beautiful day. Something within me lifted me and I knew that I felt free, no more that Metroburg feeling.

As I turned around heading for my bathroom, reality kicked in like it always does. My mood immediately went from happy to sad as the memories of Max flooded my brain. I got undressed and hopped into the shower. I slowly turned the knobs adjusting the temperature until it was perfect. For a moment I didn't move at all, I just stood there under the shower letting the water ran over my body. I started to think of Max and our trip back from the beach.

He was totally distant, not saying a word. He ignored me flat, he avoided eye contact with me and with our parents. In the car all he did was stare out of the window not saying a single word, not even a smirk left his face. I wanted to talk to him about what happened, but I knew I couldn't bring up the subject in front of our parents.

The water slowly went down my body and my breathing became deeper as I kept thinking about the trip. I knew that Max was mad and probably furious with me going on that date with Link and about me not feeling the same way he does. But how can I? He is my brother, it is just wrong on so many levels. I tried to speak to him when we got out of the car,

"Max, are you okay?" I asked holding onto his arm forcing him to look at me. He gave me a look of absolute sadness and repulse as he pulled away from my grip heading straight for his lair.

My water suddenly got cold and I shivered. I turned the warm water knob clockwise to make the shower warmer as I finally decided to shower to get cleaned. When I was done showering I walked out with my towel around me to my closet and as I opened it I immediately smiled as I saw the clothes that I'm going to wear on my date with Link. I'm going to wear my black shinny denim with a soft pink long arm blouse that I was dying to wear. I'm going to wear my black ankle boots and a black leather jacket which Cherry bought for me as a thank you present when I saved her life from a flying rock.

I liked the outfit and I was pleased with my choice. The thought of link popped into my head, I still can't believe that I'm going on a date with such a handsome young man, but I still feel bad about Max. He's been avoiding me ever since we got back and I feel bad for not having the same feelings as he does for me. I decided to slip into my blue ripped jeans and my black tank top which say: 'My brain is 90% song lyrics'. I brushed my hair and decided to leave it loose for the day. I went over to my bed deciding to write a little piece in my diary.

Dear Diary,

I feel so guilty about tonight. I really want to have a great time with Link and just enjoy myself because he really seems like a nice guy. The thing with Max is bothering me. I feel sad for not having the same feelings, but at the same time I feel mad for him for not understanding that we're siblings. I can't feel the same way, I simply just can't. The thought already makes me uncomfortable. I wish he would stop ignoring me, I may not love him in the way he does, but I still love him as my brother and I will always care about him no matter what happen. I just wish for once in my life that everything would work out for the best. Why can't I have a normal life?

I closed my diary and decided to head downstairs.

"Good morning," I said as I entered the kitchen where Mom and Dad was leaning against the counter sipping their coffees. Nora and Billy were outside and Max – as always – were in his lair.

"Good morning sweetie," Mom greeted giving me a kiss on the cheek. Dad gave me a hug giving me a kiss on top of my head.

"Did you slept well?" Mom asked putting her mug in the sink.

"Yeah I did, I can't wait for tonight," I said with excitement. Never in my life was I this excited for a date. I went on a date with Cole once but it wasn't that all good. I had to pay for the dinner because he left his wallet at home and his car broke down twice.

"What are you going to wear?" Mom asked with interest.

"Well I'm going to wear my black shinny denim with my pink long arm blouse and black ankle boots," I said as the outfit popped in my head. Mom shrieked grabbing my hands jumping up and down. A smiled left my face as I was jumping up and down with my Mom. Dad just rolled his eyes at us, mumbling something about 'teenagers'.

"I'm so happy for you Phoebe," Mom said giving me a hug.

"When is he picking you up?" Dad asked crossing his arms.

"Uhm, around six o'clock."

"Great, then we can have a barbecue before you go. I'm dying to use that new grill I bought 2 weeks ago," Dad said as he went outside.

I decided to help Mom preparing for the barbecue since Nora and Billy were still playing a game called Laser Tag outside and Dad were preparing the meat. I didn't want to bother Max so this was the only thing I could do. After I was done helping mom with the salad we went outside where Dad was busy with the chicken.

"Go tell Max dinner is ready." Mom said to me and I thought I wanted to die at that moment. Luckily Max walked out of the house a few seconds later and I didn't have to deal with being alone with Max.

We all dished up our own food and got seated on our chairs. We didn't sit at our usual spot, so we just took chairs and sat outside. While we were eating I occasionally caught Max staring at me. It annoyed me a little but I tried to ignore it. When we were done Mom and I took the dishes to the kitchen and afterwards we all chilled outside. Max looked at me a lot and I wondered what his problem was.

"So, are you excited for tonight?" Mom suddenly asked breaking the silence.

"I'm past excited," I said as I gave a huge smile. She smiled at me, but I caught Max rolling his eyes, but not in a playful manner. He looked annoyed.

Mom and Dad fell into a conversation, Billy and Nora had gone inside to watch Nickelodeon. My mind travelled to my date with Link. I was so excited and just then I felt my phone vibrate on my lap.

Link

Hey Phoebe, it's me Link. I just wanted to text you to ensure that we're still on for tonight and that you didn't decide in the meanwhile to ditch me.

Phoebe

Hey Link, everything is still on for tonight. I'm very excited to see you. Btw I would never ditch you ;)

Link

I'm glad to hear that because I won't survive another day without seeing such perfection again.

A smile escaped my face as I started to giggle at my phone turning completely red. Link was so damn cute, but my smile fade away when I saw Max was looking at me madly.

Phoebe

See you later

Max kept staring at me and it really started to make me uncomfortable so I decided to stood up and walk away. I headed for my bedroom and just as I was inside to close the door behind me Max stopped me. He walked into my room closing the door behind me.

"We need to talk Phoebe," Max said as he looked me straight in the eyes.

"Okay then, let's talk," I said but not lightly.

"I really like you Phoebe, but you're not even trying to make this work," Max said stepping closer.

"What is there to make work Max?! You're my twin brother," I said putting emphasize on that last word by saying it slowly.

"And? That's not going to stop me from loving you," Max replied.

"Then if that's not going to stop you, then my date with Link has too," I said hoping Max would stop having feelings for me.

"Don't you ever say his name, I can't believe you chose that dumb bag over me," Max growled.

"Watch your words Max! That dumb bag is my future boyfriend!" I said furiously.

"Oh, so you already decided that he's the one for you?" Max asked crossing his arms arching his eyebrows.

"Max, you're being…"

"You know what you're right. I'm totally overreacting because you always have to be right. Phoebe can never be wrong. How could someone possibly think that miss goody two shoes would be wrong." I just stood there not knowing what to say. He is getting too personal now.

"Enjoy you're night, I hope you have a fucking splendid time. Just remember to not do it half, make sure you don't come home a virgin. That way you'll have everything you wanted," Max stopped to see my reaction but I didn't say a single word.

"I really fucking like you Phoebe. The least you could have done is understand how I feel inside, but no you have to go run off with Mr six pack. Don't come crying on my shoulder when he dumbs you within a week. He'll get tired of you anyway," Max said as he slammed the door behind him as he left.

I fell down on my bed as a tear escape my eyes as the last words of Max kept repeating in my head.
