Mya made her way down the stairs and through the living room. Slipping passed party goers, she made her way into the kitchen and over to the fridge, snagging a beer.
โI heard genius cut his face open. Is he alright?โ Maddie asked from behind Mya.
Twisting the top off her beer, Mya tossed it in the trash before taking a swig.
โDonโt know, donโt care.โ She said, lowering her bottle. Maddieโs face fell.
โWhat did he do?โ She sighed.
Mya shook her head.
โNothing.โ Mya said, earning an eye roll from her sister.
Clearly she didnโt wanna talk about it; Which was fine by Maddie because now was not the time, nor the place.
Making her way into the dining room, Mya felt a hand on her arm. Turning around, she came face to face with one of her best guy friends, Jason.
โDance with me!โ He yelled, pulling her into him.
Throwing her head back, Mya finished off her drink before allowing him to pull her out onto the makeshift dance floor. As the music and alcohol began to flow through her, all thoughts of Travis vanished. Soon one song turned into two, then three and four. Then, as the fifth one started up, Mya leaned into Sophie, who had joined them a few songs back.
โIโm gonna go get a snack!โ She yelled over the music.
Nodding, Sophie gave her a thumbs up as she continued to dance with Jason. Making her way to the kitchen, Mya found Casey standing at the counter, the supplies to make a PB and J laid out on the counter before them.
โWhat in the world are you doing?โ Mya laughed as she walked further into the kitchen.
โDonโt you look at me like that! Iโm starving and thereโs no snacks here!โ Casey said, defensively.
Mya held her hands up in surrender.
โHey, Iโm not here to judge.โ She laughed.
Then, inching closer to Casey, she peeked over their shoulder and down at the perfectly spread peanut butter and jelly.
โCan you make me one of those too?โ She asked, causing them both to laugh.
โSure thing.โ Casey said, pulling two more slices of bread out of the bag.
After making their sandwiches, Casey and Mya snagged two sodas from the fridge and headed out onto Chelseaโs back porch.
As they sat, enjoying their food, and looking up at the night sky, Mya looked over at Casey.
โCan I ask you a question?โ Mya asked.
โWell technically you just did, but Iโll allow another.โ Casey said, causing Mya to laugh.
โDork.โ Mya said, knocking Caseyโs shoulder with her own.
โWhat was being a twin like? Or what is it like?โ Mya asked.
Casey hummed, letting Mya know that they liked her question. Setting their sandwich down, Casey dusted the crumbs off their fingers as they finished chewing.
โI remember us being inseparable. When he was pooping, he used to put a towel over his lap and Iโd sit on the edge of the tub and we would talk for hours. Our foster parents thought it was weird but he just wanted some company while he was taking a shit.โ Casey said, causing both them and Mya to laugh.
After settling down, Mya opened her mouth but quickly closed it again.
โWhat is it?โ Casey asked, curious about what she was about to say.
Mya shook her head.
โNo. Itโs too personal.โ She said.
Casey shrugged.
โAsk anyways. The worst thatโll happen is Iโll say I donโt wanna talk about it.โ They said.
Taking a deep breath, Mya filled her lungs with air before breathing out. Then, turning her attention to Casey, she spoke.
โHowโd you and Cain get separated?โ She asked.
Turning their attention to the stars, Casey thought about the last time they saw their twin brother.
