"Hey Mia?" Ryan calls up to  my room.

"Yeah!" I shout back.

"Ready to go?" 

"Uh, yeah, let me grab my shoes." I slip on my black converse, grab my bag, and I head downstairs, "Let's go."

~*~*~

"No, Ryan, ring the doorbell," I whisper shout, right before he invites himself in.

"Mia, I have been to this place so many times. I think I have a pass to just walk in." Ryan says, with his hand on the door knob.

"But me, Ryan, last time I came here it was a party. Oh wait, that was the only time I came here."

"You have me, you're my plus one."

"That implies we are a couple. That's gross."

"Well, romantic couples are not the only couples. Best friend couples, sibling couples, the list goes on."

"Hate to break it to you bud, but that's not really reality. A sibling couple is incest."

Ryan gasps as he puts a hand on his chest."Are you saying that I want to have sex with you?"

"What! Ryan! Not at all. Just don't say we are a sibling couple. Ring the doorbell." I say as I roll my eyes.

"You've hurt me sis," he says as he rings the doorbell. Footsteps pound towards the door, and it opens. It seems like we are the last people to arrive.

"Why hello everyone. The sibling couple has arrived." Ryan says  as he walks on in.

"You realize you don't have to ring the door." Joey says looking at Ryan.

"I know," Ryan says and smirks at me.

"Wait, did you say sibling couple?" Logan asks, as he comes over by me, and slings his arm around my waist.

"Hell yeah I did," Ryan shouts.

"Mia, are you cheating on me? With your brother?" Logan yells.

"No! Ryan! See what you did?" I ask, my cheeks turning red.

"Ryan, don't say you and Mia are 'the sibling couple' every again," Alex laughs.

"Okay, fine." Ryan says angrily.

"Good," I comment.

"We are the twins couple." Ryan says confidently.

"Hey, Ryan," Leo comes over to Ryan, "you see, calling yourself and Mia a couple, is saying you two are together romantically."

"And siblings who are together romantically," Joey starts.

"Is incest," Haley finishes.

"And incest, is frowned upon in most societies," Logan adds.

"Well, fuck. This is a bit awkward isn't it," Ryan says embarrassed. He scratches his neck and avoid eye contact.

"Okay, we have pizza in the kitchen," Joey says, as the group follows him to the kitchen. Logan and I stay back.

"Now, that I know you aren't cheating on me," Logan smiles, when I squirm at the situation that just occurred, "I can do this." He wraps one arm around my waist, and the other behind my head. I wrap my arms around his neck. Logan leans in for a kiss, causing my eyes to flutter shut. Our lips touch, causing sparks to shoot throughout my body. I could never get sick of kissing him. This kiss started light, but slowly started to get more passionate.

"Oh damn," Alex said from behind us. I pull away fast, and whip around to see both Leo and Alex walking out of the kitchen. "Get a room guys!" I look down, as my cheeks turn red. Logan was to the right of me laughing. I glance back up to see Leo looking sad.

"Okay, Mia, let's grab some pizza." He took my hand, and led me to the kitchen. I looked behind me to see Leo standing in the same spot.

"Hold on Logan, I'll be right back," I said.

"Okay, beautiful," Logan said, as I wandered to where Leo was.

"Hey, Leo," I said in a soft voice.

"Oh, hi, Mia." He said as he turned around. He put a smile on his face, but I could tell it wasn't genuine.

"What's wrong? I know you're upset." I said sadly.

"Oh, it's stupid." Leo said as he looked down.

"Please, even if you were upset because you broke a crayon, I wouldn't call that stupid."

"I would," Leo said, making me laugh.

"Well, okay. But you gave me a shoulder to cry on, I'll give you mine if you need it."

"Thanks Mia."

"Anytime." I walked back into the kitchen to eat pizza.

~*~*~

"No, please no!" I shout.

"Too late!" Haley says, as she pops a horror movie into the CD player.

"Don't worry Mia, you have me," Logan smiles.

"Okay, fine, I'll watch it." I say grumpily, as I walk to the couch Logan is on. I'm surprised that 7 people all have seats. Logan, Leo, and I, are on one couch. Haley and Joey took up the love seat. Ryan is on the recliner, and Alex wanted to be on the floor. 

The movie started off slow, I didn't think it was bad. Finally, a horror movie that I can handle. I jinxed it though. The killer dropped from the ceiling, and slashed the girl. I screamed, and dug my head into Logan's side. I looked back up to see Leo grinning at me. I give him a small smile back, and Logan tightens his grip on me.

I look back at the TV, just in time to see another jump scare. And I, of course, jumped and screamed. Alex paused the movie, as everyone started laughing. This is embarrassing.

"You guys finish the movie. I'm gonna go into the kitchen. It's way to scary for me." I say as I get up, to walk to the kitchen. 

"You sure you'll be good alone?" Logan asks grabbing my hand before I leave.

"Yup, I'll come back if I'm not." He nods and I walk into the kitchen. After I sat down on a chair, I regretted my choice. I could hear screams from the TV, and being alone, after I watched a bunch of innocent people slashed, does not make me feel too comfortable. I start to get up to go back to the TV room, but I smash into someone. Just before I'm about to scream, a hand covers my mouth.

"Mia, it's me, Leo." I let out a breath I was holding in.

"Oh, sorry, I thought you were a killer," I say honestly.

"I figured." Leo said.

"So what brings you to the kitchen?" I ask

"Uhm, to have a shoulder to cry on," Leo mumbles, but I still heard him.

"Oh, okay." I say, as we sit down on the floor.

"This is stupid, I'm sorry," Leo says quietly.

"No, it's not. Don't be sorry that you have feelings Leo." I whisper. 

He looks up at me, and I give him a small smile. "Last night, I was playing fetch with my dog. I noticed he wasn't really giving it his all. He just looked so tired. I stopped playing and let him go rest. This morning, when I woke up, he didn't greet me when I went downstairs," I saw his eyes get watery, I go over and hug him. "I turned the corner, to go see if he was in his bed," Leo started to get choked up on his tears.

"Aw, Leo," I say as I was getting teary eyed as well.

"He was in his bed. He was not breathing. Mia, my dog died this morning. I loved him so much. I've had him since he was a puppy 10 years ago." He whispered as tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Leo, he was sick. He was in pain. Now, he is free of pain. He is chasing all the bunnies his heart desires. He loves you too." I say quietly. I put my arms around him, as he silently cries into my arm. I could not imagine how I would feel if any of my pets died. I'd be heartbroken. We stay like that for about 5 minutes.

"Thanks Mia. If feels good to get it out." Leo says as he gives my a smile. "But, please don't tell the boys. They know he died, but if they found out how much it affected me, I'd be seen as weak."

"Okay, Leo. But you can't help feeling the way you do. It's you, and people have to understand that," I say.

"I guess, thanks again Mia."

"No problem Leo."
